Diet:

Going through your consultation, I can see you eat a good amount of fruit per day, but your veg intake could do with a little top up. To help ensure you're not low on any micronutrients because of this, I would recommend vitamin A, E and turmeric extract.

Black pepper extract greatly improves the absorption of turmeric extract, so I would include this as well.

You mentioned you are on a gluten-free diet, this can come with certain micronutrient deficiency risks. To help combat this, I would suggest adding vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium and iron to your Vitbox Bespoke formula.

Additionally, you mentioned that you don't eat a lot of dairy. Dairy is a great source of calcium and iodine, and consequently, I would recommend these to ensure a healthy thyroid and bones.

You indicated that you don't eat much meat, which can be great for many reasons, but can lead to some micronutrient gaps in the diet. To help ensure your body gets everything it needs, I would propose zinc, vitamin B12, and iron are added to your Vitbox Bespoke formula. I have also included extra zinc, to help with the acne you mentioned.

General:

Vitamin D can be obtained through foods such as fish, but it is mostly acquired through synthesis when sunlight contacts the skin. The UK government recommends 15 minutes of sun exposure daily to get the right amount of vitamin D, but this can be quite hard due to the weather. As you can't manage to get daily sun exposure, I would suggest adding vitamin D to your formula.

As you mention you live in a polluted area, I would recommend adding vitamin C to your formula. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant known to reduce the negative effects of breathing the air of a polluted city.

Magnesium, iron, iodine and vitamin B12 all contribute to reducing tiredness and fatigue which you mentioned in your consultation. Vitamin B12 and iodine help to ensure your body can release enough energy. Iron ensures your body is adequately prepared to carry oxygen around your body and provide energy for your muscles. Magnesium is required for general brain health. Adding these 4 nutrients to your Vitbox Bespoke formula may help you to feel less tired during the day.

In your consultation, you mention that you suffer from low mood/anxiety. 5-HTP, a naturally occurring amino acid, can help to increase the levels of serotonin, which can help with mood and anxiety. Magnesium is very important for brain health and can help with mood. Therefore, I would recommend including both of these in your formula.

Gut health is incredibly important to your overall health, from your immune system to your brain. Bloating/gas may be caused by poor digestion, improving your gut health may help with this. Consequently, I'd suggest adding our probiotic to your Vitbox Bespoke formula.

Magnesium and the omega 3 fatty acid, DHA, are vital for overall brain health, since you struggle with your focus, I'll make sure there's enough of these in your formula to help with this.
