Why Supplementation Matters More Than Ever and Why We Recommend VMG+

🧬 Modern Life = Modern Nutrient Gaps

Even with a balanced diet, today’s lifestyle makes it difficult to get every essential nutrient our bodies need. Soil depletion, environmental toxins, stress, and processed foods all contribute to hidden deficiencies that affect how we feel and function¹.

That’s why supplementation has become an essential pillar of modern wellness — not to replace healthy habits, but to reinforce the foundation that allows our bodies to repair, detoxify, and thrive.

🌱 Why Supplements Are Essential Today

1️⃣ Nutrient density has declined

Research shows that the vitamin and mineral content of many fruits and vegetables has fallen by up to 19–81 percent over the past few decades². Even if we eat well, we’re simply not receiving the same nourishment from our food as our grandparents did.

2️⃣ Environmental and lifestyle stressors

Polluted air, plastics, heavy metals, and everyday stress increase oxidative load — depleting antioxidants and vital nutrients³. Our bodies need consistent replenishment to support detoxification and repair⁴.

3️⃣ Absorption matters

Nutrients must be absorbed to make a difference. Gut inflammation, stress, and certain medications reduce absorption efficiency⁵. That’s why choosing high-bioavailability supplements makes all the difference.

⚕️ The Osteopathic Principle: “Drainage Precedes Supply”

At Healthier Living Health Centre, we view supplementation through the osteopathic lens of “Drainage Precedes Supply.”
Before nourishing the body, we first ensure that the liver, kidneys, lymphatics, and gut — our primary elimination systems — are supported and free-flowing.

When these systems are overloaded, even premium nutrients can’t reach cells effectively. Supporting detoxification first allows every vitamin and mineral to do its job more efficiently.

That’s why VMG+ fits beautifully into our holistic philosophy — it supports both drainage (through liver-protective and antioxidant ingredients) and supply (through highly absorbable, plant-based nutrients).

💚 Why We Recommend doTERRA’s VMG+

🌿 Whole-Food Nutrition

VMG+ delivers vitamins and minerals from whole-food plant sources, providing nutrients in the natural matrix your body recognizes⁶.

🌾 Greens & Phytonutrients

Rich in kale, broccoli, spinach, and fruit powders, the formula supplies antioxidants and detox-supportive compounds such as sulforaphane⁷.

💧 Clinically Proven Absorption

In a doTERRA absorption study, vitamin C rose 4×, vitamin E 5×, and iron 6× higher than with standard multivitamins after just one dose⁸.

  • Vitamin D levels improved by about 22% in 6 weeks. Calcium levels increased by 53% overall.
  • hs-CRP (a marker linked to heart and inflammation risks) dropped by 26%.
    People with higher inflammation at the start saw even greater improvements (up to 34% drop).
  • Antioxidant markers like glutathione and SOD (superoxide dismutase) went up, especially in people who had lower levels to begin with. (These antioxidants act like your body’s cleanup crew, sweeping up harmful molecules before they can cause damage).

Participants Felt Better, Too!
When asked about their daily lives, most participants said they felt:

  • Better mental clarity
  • More energy
  • Better digestive comfort
  • Better sleep quality

⚖️ Clean & Plant-Based

VMG+ is vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free, with no artificial additives⁹ — a clean choice for modern wellness. Blood tests showed no problems with liver, kidney, or overall health markers.

💪 Supports Liver & Kidney Function

Ingredients such as N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), broccoli seed extract, and dandelion promote healthy liver detoxification and glutathione production¹⁰ — vital for protecting the liver and kidneys from overload.

Simple Analogy to Remember:

  • Regular supplements = rowboats sailing across the river.
  • VMG+ supplements = sturdy ferries helping passengers (nutrients) arrive safely and stay longer!

🛡️ Protecting Our Vital Organs

Your liver filters 1100 litres of blood daily, while your kidneys filter about 180 litres — removing toxins and maintaining balance.
VMG+ nourishes these systems with antioxidants and key cofactors so they can perform efficiently and protect every other organ in the body¹¹.

In Conclusion:

VMG+ offers a modern way to get more out of your vitamins and minerals. The science shows that this liposomal, essential-oil enhanced system helps nutrients:

  • Absorb faster
  • Stay longer
  • Support key health systems like your heart, brain, and immune system

And it does all this safely and naturally.

🌟 In Summary

 In a world full of stress, busy schedules, and environmental exposure, maintaining proper nutrition is more important than ever. With high levels of pollution, nutrient-depleted foods, and toxins all around us, supplementation has become very important

VMG+ stands out as a next-generation nutrient system that:
✅ Fills nutrient gaps
✅ Supports liver and kidney detoxification
✅ Enhances absorption 4–6×
✅ Boosts cellular energy and resilience
✅ Aligns with the osteopathic principle of “drain before supply”

So, if you value your health and want to live an energetic, vibrant life — without worrying about fatigue, mood swings, or becoming a burden to your loved ones and others as you age — consider taking a gentle step toward helping your body cope with daily stressors and environmental challenges, while reducing the strain that modern living places on your system.

By giving your body the natural support it needs to cleanse, recharge, and thrive, you allow yourself to rise to the level of vitality you desire — where you feel radiant, confident, and full of life… and people can’t help but feel inspired by your energy and presence. 🌟
