The GHT Companies Launches New Product Line of 100% Vegan Supplements

SAN DIEGO, March 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- GHT's goal in introducing Vegan Life Nutrition (VLN) is to provide nutritional supplements that are completely free of animal products. Whether consumers identify as vegan or not, VLN was created to meet the growing demand for vitamins that are plant-based.

A Harris Poll conducted in 2016 found that approximately 3% of the U.S. population eats a strictly vegetarian diet, and about a half of those are vegan. The bigger revelation was that a whopping 36% opt for at least some vegetarian meals on a regular basis. All of this points to an emerging trend toward a decreasing reliance on animal-based nutrition.

Some of the main factors driving the decrease in consumption of meat products are the desire for a healthier diet, concern for animals, and awareness of the impact that farm animals have on the environment. Concurrently, the over-consumption of artificial ingredients and chemicals in the food supply is a major cause for concern.

Choosing to move away from a meat-heavy diet may result in numerous health benefits such as weight loss and a decrease in blood cholesterol. But research has also uncovered a prevalence of potential nutritional deficiencies associated with a plant-based diet. Vitamin B12 and D3 are both included in this category. VLN's D3 products are derived from Lichen, an all-natural, unique plant source; and the B12 products use cyanocobalamin, the optimal source of Vitamin B12.

According to a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, two thirds of people who ate a vegetarian diet and 92% of those who followed the stricter vegan guidelines were found to be deficient in Vitamin B12. This same publication reports that Vitamin D deficiency is now considered a pandemic, among people who follow all dietary regimens.

The VLN line is available online and through partnerships with medical providers and currently offers a number of B12 and D3 vegan supplements, including a combination of the two. Plans to expand the product line to offer more vital nutrients in vegan form are already in the works.
