Jacqueline Manzoni of VitalOrganico began to explore the benefits of vitamins and vital nutrients as a means of improving her own health … and from her journey, a new business was born. In our Autumn 2021 issue, she told us all about it.
With colder days on the horizon, we’re all looking for ways to ensure that our immune systems are fighting fit. One of the best ways to boost your immunity is to increase your uptake of vitamins C and D. In our new Autumn issue, Abundance and Health helped us to understand exactly why these nutrients are so vital.
Fantastic news, Positive Lifers! Our brand-new Autumn issue will be landing in a health store near you this week. The theme is ‘truth.’ It has been a true labour of love, and we hope it inspires your mind and soothes your spirit as we ease into these crisp autumnal days.
We love speaking to both established and upcoming names in the holistic health world, and one company we spoke with for our Spring 2021 issue was Somega. Mark Clifford and Paula Gaynor, founders of this innovative supplement brand, had lots of great information to share about their liposomal vitamin C.
Vitamin C has long been known for its positive health effects, and thanks to our friends at Abundance and Health, we recently learned that liposomal supplements of this vitamin could be even more beneficial than the traditional form. Read our Winter 2020/21 article on the subject below!
Here is our action-packed Winter Vibes section from our new Winter 2017 issue, available in our stockists across the country now. You can also subscribe to receive this magazine – and the next three for the year ahead – direct to your door.
