Focus Pack - Coeliac Wellness & Vitality Complex

Following a strict gluten free diet can cause people to lack certain micronutrients. The Coeliac General Wellness pack is designed to support the gluten free diet with essential vitamins and minerals.

VITAMIN D (CONTAINING D3, K2, MAGNESIUM)

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition recommends everyone in the general population aged 4 years and older should have 10 micrograms of vitamin D per day.

Getting adequate vitamin D can be challenging for most of the UK population, but it can be even more challenging to achieve in people with coeliac disease due to the impact damage to the small intestine can have on its absorption. In addition, bone health issues are more common in people living with coeliac disease compared to the general population, so optimising vitamin D is even more relevant.

Vitamin D is essential for various processes that occur in the body like maintaining bone health and supporting the immune system, amongst many others. It is predominantly made by the skin after spending time in the sun, but it can also be provided to a smaller extent through food.

It can be particularly difficult to synthesise enough vitamin D through winter and autumn months in the UK due to the lack of sunlight. This is why the government advises that everyone over the age of 4 in the UK considers taking 10 micrograms of vitamin D from late March/ early April until the end of September. Additional factors like not spending much time outdoors or wearing clothes that cover up most of the skin when outdoors can further increase the risk of having low vitamin D.

The combination of vitamin D, K2 and magnesium increases the calcium intake in the bones, contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and has a positive influence on the functioning of the nervous system and immune system.

MULTIVITAMIN 

Multivitamins can help people with coeliac disease maintain normal levels of a wide range of vitamins. Multivitamins can contribute to maintaining muscle function and health of the bones, and teeth. They are good for the skin, mucous membranes, eyesight and support the immune system, nervous system, and metabolism. This multivitamin preparation is fully balanced. All individual ingredients work together synergistically and reinforce each other.

Multivitamins are the number one selling supplements worldwide. Unfortunately, many multivitamins contain harmful additives, allergens and are poorly formulated leading to poor absorption. Coeliac Safe multivitamins have been carefully formulated with a good balance of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The liposomal form also ensures much better absorption.
