Carninutrients
Lack of carninutrients, nutrients found primarily in meat sources, such as Carnitine, Creatine, Carnosine, Choline, DHA and others can stop some vegans reaching their full energy potential, and may put them at enhanced risk to various medical conditions. Check out the “In Depth” sections to see an overview of all the research indicating increases in sports and mental performance associated with supplementation.
Neutrogenomics
Understanding genetics is key to understanding why some vegans fail to maintain a vegan diet, for example, some people cannot convert the inactive form of vitamin A, Beta-Carotene, found in plants, into the active form, retinol. Some vegans have an increased need for Choline or DHA. Vegan Powah also contains all the key vitamins and minerals that are rare or absent on a vegan diet, required by all genotypes, including b12 and iodine.
Immunology
Vegan Powah comes packed with 2000iu of Vitamin D and 10mg of Zinc, which together help maintain the normal function of the immune system. Vegan Powah is designed to provide optimum dosages of the most effective forms of its ingredients, and by combining all into one product, be around 50% cheaper than buying seperate supplements, whilst ease of use makes it more likely you will maintain your regimen.

CDP Choline can cross the blood brain barrier to form the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine.
Studies indicate it can increase focus and attention in healthy people, and memory in elderly people.
Choline is hard to find on a vegan diet and common genotypes make it essential to supplement for many vegans for optimal health.
CDP Choline can cross the blood brain barrier to form the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine.

DHA is an omega 3 oil required for healthy growth and maintenance of brain mass.
DHA is only found in Algae on a vegan diet. Common genotypes make it difficult for many vegans to get enough to support their brain.

Creatine has been used for years by athletes to improve physical performance, however recently studies are showing that it can boost neurological performance in vegatarians and vegans as it increases energy production via ATP.
Creatine is absent on a vegan diet. Supplementing 1g raises our blood creatine levels to that of omnivores.
1000mg, 50mg, 250mg
B-Alanine is the precursor to Carnosine.
Taurine and Carnosine have antioxidant effects, studies indicate they support longevity, endurance and recovery from exercise
Vegan Powah contains both L-Carnitine and Acetyl-Carnitine. Research indicates L-Carnitine has more effect on physical performance whilst Acetyl-Carnitine may help boost neurological performance.
Carnosine, Carnitine and Taurine are absent from a vegan diet; we can make some in our bodies but vegans tend to have significantly lower amounts.

Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant famous for being in red wine, studies suggest it may help prevent congnitive decline in ageing and have other anti-aging effects.
It can also stop the conversion of Carnitine to TMAO in the gut and thus potentially stop the potentially damaging effects of TMAO and enhance the benefits of Carnitine supplementation.
Vegan Powah contains a carefully selected blend of vitamins and minerals to support the vegan diet without providing too high levels which could be toxic.
For this reason we only include a low dose of Iron, as whilst large doses may be useful for menstruating women, for other people providing 100% RDA for Iron could be toxic.
We do include 100% RDA of vitamin A as some vegans struggle to convert the inactive form, Beta Carotene into the active retinol form.

What Will Vegan Powah Do For You
Timeline
2021
Day 2
People with common genetic variants may experience a surge in energy from CDP Choline as it replenishes acetylcholine in the nervous system
First Week
Potential improvements in vitality from recovery from various nutritional deficiencies from nutrients such as B12, Vitamin A, K2
Second week
Vitamin D and Zinc levels increase and regulate normal functioning of the immune system.
A few weeks
Raising levels of Taurine and Carnitine may aid in sports recovery and performance. People with poor genetic conversion of carnitine may see recovery from carnitine deficiency.
A few months
People with common genotypes resulting in reduced ability to create DHA may experience improved neurological function as Omega 3s are replenished in brain.
A few months
As creatine levels raise in the brain, studies suggest that vegans should experience improved memory and intelligence due to increased production of energy in the brain.
Decades
Protection of long term effects from B12 and other nutrient deficiencies.
Decades
Consistent use of DHA has been shown to be protective against decreasing brain mass.
Decades
Protection against bone fractures as K2 and vitamin D regulate normal calcium deposits in the body.
Decades
Daily use of resveratrol has been shown to increase longevity in several animal stuides.
