You  have  4  drawers  to  fill  from  our  12  great  Boosts  available  

This  is  your  weekly,  100%  recyclable  pack  

IntroducCon  Build  my  pack  View  basket  This  page  is  secure  We  are  the  honest  vitamin  company  and  we  would  like  to  take  a  moment  to  share  some  interesCng  stuff  about  mulCvitamins.  

Page 2: Learn about Boost Buddy and Your Multivitamins (what are they, how much do you need, what is the RDA, etc.)

What  are  mulCvitamins?      As  humans,  we  require  certain  vitamins  and  minerals  in  order  to  be  healthy  and  we  usually  get  the  ones  we  need  from  our  diets;  from  fruit  and  salads  to  even  those  super-­‐greasy  (but  oh  so  tasty)  burgers!    The  problem  that  many  of  us  face  is  that  we  don’t  eat  enough  of  the  right  types  of  food  that  contain  these  vitamins  and  minerals  so  we  don’t  actually  get  enough  of  them  and  this  is  bad  for  our  bodies  as  these  vitamins  and  minerals  allow  us  to  grow  normally  and  help  us  to  prevent  certain  illnesses  in  the  future  (also  known  as  “preventaCve  healthcare”).    So  how  do  you  make  sure  that  you  get  all  of  those  important  vitamins  and  minerals?  Well  you  could  change  the  type  of  food  that  you  eat,  and  we  would  highly  recommend  doing  that,  but  for  many  this  isn’t  a  sustainable  soluCon,  be  it  because  of  an  uncontrollable  love  for  fast  food  or  simply  allergies  to  certain  foods.    Therefore  many  turn  to  taking  a  mulCvitamin  supplement,  like  Boost  Buddy.    

Page 3: Learn about Boost Buddy and Your Multivitamins (what are they, how much do you need, what is the RDA, etc.)

How  much  of  each  Vitamin  do  I  need?    There  are  many  different  types  of  vitamins  and  minerals  and  keeping  track  of  exactly  how  much  of  each  you  need  per  day  can  be  a  very  complicated  task.  Luckily,  the  helpful  folks  over  at  the  European  Food  Safety  Authority  (also  known  as  “EFSA”)  have  wriYen  a  bunch  of  helpful  Recommended  Daily  Allowances  (RDAs)  that  we  can  all  follow  to  make  sure  that  we  meet  (but  do  not  exceed)  healthy  amounts  of  each  vitamin  and  mineral.    Have  you  ever  seen  a  mulCvitamin  pack  contain  a  list  of  nutrients  followed  by  percentage  figures?  Well,  as  you’ve  probably  already  guessed,  that  figure  is  the  percentage  that  you  would  receive  each  Cme  you  take  the  mulCvitamin,  based  on  EFSA's  RDAs.  

Page 4: Learn about Boost Buddy and Your Multivitamins (what are they, how much do you need, what is the RDA, etc.)

What  happens  if  I  exceed  my  Recommended  Daily  Allowance?    

Well  it  really  depends.  There  are  two  types  of  vitamins:  water-­‐soluble  vitamins  and  fat-­‐soluble  vitamins.    When  you  digest  too  much  of  the  first  type,  water-­‐soluble  vitamins,  your  body  will  remove  the  extra,  unusable  vitamins  when  you  next  go  to  the  toilet  which  is  a  waste  of  your  money  however  this  can  also  be  very  problemaCc  for  your  liver  a^er  a  while  as  you  are  pu_ng  it  under  unneeded  pressure  because  your  body  will  call  it  into  acCon  to  handle  these  “extra”  vitamins  which,  at  this  point,  are  actually  toxins.    The  second  type,  the  fat-­‐soluble  vitamins,  are  a  liYle  harder  to  remove  from  your  body  as  they  will  stay  in  your  body  for  longer  and  can  cause  more  serious  problems.    EssenCally,  if  you  exceed  your  RDA  for  any  parCcular  vitamin,  you  would  be  simply  wasCng  your  money  and  placing  unnecessary  pressure  on  your  liver  as  your  body  won't  be  able  to  use  these  extra  vitamins  and  needs  to  remove  them.    Unfortunately  it's  not  common  knowledge  that  taking  more  than  100%  of  your  RDA  for  vitamins  can  be  bad  for  your  health  and  we  believe  that  this  due  to  certain  mulCvitamin  products  out  there  offering  150%  or  200%  (someCmes  even  more)  of  your  RDA  which  encourages  over  consumpCon  as  we  are  generally  taught  that  higher  numbers  mean  higher  value  for  money.

Capsules  vs.  Tablets    

All  Boost  Buddy  vitamins  and  minerals  come  in  capsules,  rather  than  tablets,  for  several  reasons    The  first  of  which  is  that  tablets  need  a  special  coat  of  sugar  (or  similar  substance)  to  disguise  the  nasty  taste  that  tablets  naturally  possess  and  this  sugar  coaCng  actually  prevents  the  vitamins  and  minerals  from  entering  your  blood  stream  quickly  (not  to  menCon  potenCally  damaging  your  teeth)  whereas  capsules  break  up  almost  immediately    Some  studies  have  even  shown  that  the  Cme  your  body  needs  to  break  down  a  tablet  is  so  lengthy  that  the  tablet  may  have  already  entered  your  colon  and,  as  such,  your  body  may  have  missed  out  on  the  vitamins  and  minerals  contained  within  that  tablet.    Many  mulCvitamin  companies  choose  to  use  tablets  rather  than  capsules  because  they  tend  to  be  cheaper  to  manufacture  and  last  longer  on  the  shelves  whereas,  here  at  Boost  Buddy,  we  always  use  capsules  as  they  are  easier  to  swallow  and  are  much  more  effecCve  at  releasing  the  important  vitamins  and  minerals  into  your  body.

Understanding  your  vitamins    It  can  be  a  difficult  task  to  keep  checking  and  understanding  the  complicated  labels  that  o^en  come  with  your  mulCvitamins  so  we  decided  to  make  things  super  simple  with  our  in-­‐pack  cards.    Each  Boost  Buddy  pack  of  4  Vitamins  Boosts  come  with  handy,  pocket-­‐sized  info  cards  that  explain  everything;  from  the  benefits,  nutrients  and  each  ingredient  that  we  use.
