A spray a day will pave the way

A spray a day will pave the way

Thank Funk!

It all started in 1912 with Casimir Funk, a biochemist from Poland with a passion to understand what keeps a human body in good running condition. He discovered four substances, hard at work in healthy bodies; thiamine as B1, B2 as riboflavin, C as ascorbic acid and D as cholecalciferol.

Scientists love using some unpronounceable names for substances, but the forward-thinking Doctor Funk named them vital amines collectively, later chopped the l and a to vitamines and then dropped the e altogether. More substances have since joined the vitamin list and got classed into water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins.

 

The Smooth Operators

Water-soluble vitamins B and C are the smooth operators in the human body’s metabolism, creating that magic link from the steak and salad you ate to the high energy you need to perform like a well-oiled machine.

You need a daily top-up of these, as excess amounts aren’t stored in your body and get flushed out. With regular eating of eggs, cereal with milk, legumes and grains, fish, meat, poultry, and fresh vegetables, your vitamin Bs are covered. Snack on broccoli, peppers, citrus fruits, strawberries, and kiwis, for the best C-sources.

If you’re taking vitamin B and C supplements, an empty stomach in the morning is a great start except if your waking up is sponsored by coffee. Then rather have it about two hours after your breakfast.

 

The Fixers

The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are best absorbed when you combine them with eating fats (the good ones mind you!) like beef liver, carrots, kale and spinach, cheese and milk, fish liver oil, avocados and some seeds and nuts.

These fat-solubles are the maintenance and repair fixers in your body. But if you consume more than you need, it will accumulate in your body and hang out in places where you really wish it didn’t.

Therefore, we don’t need fat-soluble vitamin supplements every single day if we include good fats in our balanced diet…or do we?

There are lots of decent reasons why we don’t need any supplements but let’s face it, keeping up healthy eating habits are tough. First off, it takes gigantic willpower to cut all the delicious crap. And if you could muster that, finding enough time to buy and prepare real food for every mealtime is another challenge that takeouts beat hands down after a killer day. And then there are mindful lifestyle choices like eating less meat, going pescatarian or turning vegan. So, we become what we eat, and if not well, it leads to vitamin deficiency symptoms and compromised health.  

Introducing:

VITAMINS INTELLIGENTLY INGESTED TECHNOLOGY.

If you have wondered what is vitamin spray and are spray vitamins effective, VIIT SCIENCE has come up with a vitamin mouth spray that was developed to make the nutrient uptake of supplements ultra-easy and efficient with the latest intra-oral spray technology.


VIIT, the acronym for VITAMINS INTELLIGENTLY INGESTED TECHNOLOGY, has a range of three fantastic products to make your daily vitamin dose fun;
VIIT COMPLETE – a multivitamin spray, 
VIIT RADIANCE - a vitamin d3 spray and
VIIT ELEVATE - a vitamin spray b12.


Wondering how do spray vitamins work? It has been proven scientifically that the sublingual administering of medicine, offers a superior rate of absorption as well as a much higher uptake and bioavailability into our systems, compared to tablets and capsules. In our mouths, the cheeks and tissue under the tongue have many tiny blood vessels to absorb oral doses of medication or your VIIT vitamin sprays in this instance, directly into the bloodstream instead of going through the digestive system.


Next, you may ask how long do vitamins take to absorb compared to pills? Sublingual vitamins are absorbed really quick. It’s when you swallow a pill, (and it doesn’t get stuck in your throat) that it gets digested and metabolised through the kidneys or liver first. This process takes a while and if you’re troubled by a leaky gut, for instance, absorption may also be compromised. That’s why with every fortifying VIIT spray, you are in control of your nutritional intake.


Let’s take a closer look at these three strong body builders.
 

VIIT COMPLETE Multivitamin

VIIT COMPLETE is smooth on the palette but a robust multivitamin bio spray. It is carefully designed with a taste of green apple (that one keeping the doctor away…) to refresh and replenish. VIIT COMPLETE has all the multivitamin supplements you will need in a daily multivitamin oral spray.


People often ask; is multivitamin supplement necessary and are there any benefits to multivitamins? Well, with our bustling lifestyle today, it definitely is a faster and more reliable solution to plug the nutritional gaps in our diet. And the best two things about it, are that anytime is the perfect time and anywhere the perfect there to spritz that boost of goodness into your mouth.

VIIT COMPLETE contains vitamins A B C D and E with the following body-boosting benefits:

Vit A – retinoids are a group of fat-soluble compounds that look after your skin, vision, bone health and immune system. Moms-to-be, it’s a critical vitamin for a baby’s development in the womb. Deficiency symptoms are dry skin, acne, dry eyes, night blindness, delayed growth, poor wound healing and infections of the throat and chest.


Vit B1 - thiamine is a vitamin workhorse and helps the cells in your body convert food into energy.  Symptoms like muscle weakness, tiredness and loss of appetite are signs of deficiency.


Vit B2 - riboflavin helps your body build red blood cells and gives you energy. Deficiency symptoms manifest in cracks at the corners of the mouth and lips, mouth ulcers, sore throat, scrotal dermatitis, red lips (not those without lipstick), itchy and watery, or bloodshot eyes.


Vit B3 - niacin assists in converting nutrients into energy, creating and repairing DNA, creating fats and cholesterol, and exerting antioxidant effects. Deficiency can lead to depression, fatigue, headaches, hallucinations, memory loss and constipation or diarrhoea in severe cases.


Vit B5 - pantothenic acid is necessary for making blood cells and helps convert food ingested like fats and carbs into energy. Deficiency could lead to irritability, headaches, and fatigue. More serious symptoms include dementia, dermatitis, and diarrhoea.


Vit B6 - pyridoxine is important for a healthy immunity and nervous system and plays a role in helping prevent chronic conditions like heart disease and cancer. Vitamin B6 deficiency is more common among pregnant women, smokers, alcoholics, and obese people.


Vit B7 - biotin pulls its weight around our enzymes to break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in food. Deficiency leads to brittle nails, thinning hair and scaly skin around the mouth, nose, and eye area.


Vit B9 - folate is more readily absorbed as folic acid in supplement form than from food sources - 85% vs. 50%, respectively. We need folate for healthy red blood cells to keep us going good but also super important as part of multivitamin supplements for women's health during pregnancy and a little rapidly growing foetus. Deficiency can occur in people struggling with digestive disorders and a big culprit – alcoholism.


Vit B12 – cobalamin is a heavyweight that forms red blood cells and DNA. This is a powerful brain food and can correct anaemia if diagnosed. Deficiency can lead to fatigue and weakness, nerve damage and tingling in hands and legs, dementia, depression etc.


Vit C - ascorbic acid. Is a glass of OJ your go-to with the first sign of a cold or sniffles? Vit C forms white blood cells as our bodies’ soldiers to guard our immunity. Deficiency leads to hair loss, bleeding gums, bruising and teeth falling out. In extreme cases, scurvy can occur which killed almost two million sailors between 1500 and 1800.


Vit D3 – cholecalciferol. Vitamin D is fat-soluble and a group of steroids, with Vit D2 and D3, diligently at work in humans. Our main source is the sun and if we don’t get enough, develop soft and fragile bones and aches and pains because these steroids can’t absorb calcium, magnesium, and phosphates.


Vit E – alpha-tocopherol. A huge word for a group of eight compounds that merrily perform as antioxidants in our bodies. It’s stored in the liver and fatty tissue to scavenge for free radicals in our bodies, on the loose to destroy our cells.


With so many multivitamin supplements benefits available to our bodies, the VIIT COMPLETE multivitamin oral spray is a wonderful solution for the upkeep of a powerful and healthy body in a dose of 1 ml - three sprays per day.
 

VIIT RADIANCE Vitamin D3 

VIIT RADIANCE has captured the sun’s magic in this rapidly delivering and fast-absorbing Vit D sublingual spray.


Vitamin D (calciferol) is the collective name for vitamins D2 and D3. Their steroid type of molecules work like hormones in our bodies that our cells have receptors for and how vitamin d is made in the body, comes from the cholesterol in our skin that soaks up the sun.


Superfoods packed with vitamin D3, are mackerel and salmon (especially wild-caught) and mushrooms, vitamin D2 exposed to UV light to increase vitamin D. Other D3 sources are milk, sardines canned in oil, egg yolks, beef or calf liver, tuna canned in water and yoghurt and cheese fortified with Vit D.

It doesn't matter whether you get it through your stomach or your skin, but it is estimated that around 20% of adults worldwide suffer from vitamin d deficiency without knowing it, hence the need why vitamin d supplement on a regular basis makes perfect sense.

Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency

Ain’t no sunshine can lead to vitamin D deficiencies like muscle weakness, fatigue or lack of energy, depression or a general miserable feeling, achy joints and bones and a sweaty head. Therefore, it’s a great idea to check in with your Doc for a test for vitamin deficiency.


Or check in with yourself - do you eat well and balanced every day, do you get at least twenty minutes of unfiltered sunlight three times per week? If the short answer is no, get your ray in the form of your vitamin d in spray.


And if you are having a hard time swallowing a pill and thinking is vitamin d spray better than pills, you’re not alone. Many people are really struggling to take pills or capsules and using a spray is a wonderfully smooth alternative. Also, vitamin sprays are directly absorbed into the bloodstream from the mouth while pills need to be digested first before it can be absorbed.


How Is Vitamin D Easily Absorbed?

The inside of your mouth is red because there is an innumerable amount of tiny blood capillaries under your tongue and in the lining of your cheeks. Our vitamin d in spray form gets absorbed directly into these tiny capillaries to head straight for the bloodstream where the action starts within minutes.


As the levels of vitamin D that our bodies need, aren’t so easy to source from the sun or our diet, just a spritz of 0.33 ml of vitamin D3 supplement dosage per day gives you a rapid delivery. And the fast absorption of our vitamin D3 supplement benefits can pick a dark mood right up and keep an immune system fighting fit.


From its storage in the liver, vitamin D delivers the right amount of calcium and phosphates into our blood for the maintenance of beautiful teeth and strong muscles and bones.


So, if it is cloudy with the chance of rain on your side…our VIIT RADIANCE is that silver lining on every cloud.
 

VIIT ELEVATE Vitamin B12

VIIT ELEVATE is a fast-absorbing vitamin B12 spray with a lovely cheeky cherry flavour. It’s a potent nutrient supplement containing Methyl cobalamin as the best bioavailable compound of vit B12.


The water-soluble vitamin B12 is naturally found in a variety of animal-based foods like meat, milk and dairy products, fish, poultry, and eggs. It’s a complex vitamin and as our vegan friends know, if it isn’t topped up frequently, can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency with symptoms of persistent fatigue, heart palpitations, pallor skin and high-low mood changes.
 

Vitamin B12 - The Workhorse

Vit B12 regulates our DNA or the genetic fabric in all our red blood cells that are produced by the millions every minute. The metabolism of every hot-blooded cell depends on the vitamin B12 workhorse for fatty acids to run on full force delivering oxygen through the body. It basically means that without B12, our cells seize to multiply, anaemia sets in and we’ll eventually run out of steam due to a lack of oxygen.


Our bodies don’t make Vit B12, we eat it and if we don’t get enough from our diet, we’ll need to take Vit B sublingual supplements for high energy levels, excellent eyesight, and a hearty appetite. And as one of the best vitamin B12 spray benefits, the cherry on top is the healthy brain function we get to enjoy.


With a daily dose of 0.33ml for 90 days, our VIIT ELEVATE will refresh and replenish with intelligent immune-strengthening towards fabulous vitality.
