Nourished

There has never been a more important time to look after yourself, keeping your body and mind healthy. I don’t know about you but the first few weeks of isolation, being home alone, consisted of a copious amount of unhealthy snacks and a few extra units of alcohol. Of course this was stress-induced and I quickly realised that this was not sustainable in the long run. Pre-Corona, I had been successfully working out at the gym however wasn’t looking after my overall nutrition and I felt like my present nutritional supplements weren’t helping. I usually avoid multi-vitamins because they simply provide more than my body requires, so I would buy individual vitamins according to what I felt my body lacked. This, of course, was expensive and I would often forget to take them. 

Luckily I came across Nourished; an ingenious UK based company who launched late last year. Nourished uses revolutionary new 3D printing methods and patented vegan encapsulation formulae to combine seven ingredients into a personalised chewable vitamin stack tailored specifically to your individual nutritional needs. The idea was created and designed by serial entrepreneur Melissa Snover, who piloted the concept on the renowned TV show Dragons Den. It was then Nourished was born and the worlds first truly customisable and personalised 3D printed nutritional product was launched.

After completing a simple consultation questionnaire online, Nourished did all the hard work and created a perfect combination of vitamin and supplements tailored to my needs. This combination was then 3D printed into my very own vegan and sugar-free vitamin stack. A month’s supply was shipped directly to my door in plastic-free, home compostable packaging. These can be bought as a one-off purchase or in a subscription format. 

Additionally, if you wish to choose your own vitamins and supplements then you can request these online. You can also choose specific Nourished life stacks carefully formulated to promote key benefits, these stacks include:

• Inner Defence (to support the immune system)
• Inner Vitality (+ 55) (to support those over the age of 55) 
• Inner Peace (to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and improve sleep)
• Plant-based Power (plant-based nutrition stack)
• High Flyer (to support those who have a hectic lifestyle)
• Prenatal (a blend for expectant and pregnant woman)
• Inner Beauty (for nails, hair and ageing)
• Party Proofed (for those who like to burn the candles at both ends)
• Packed & Stacked (to enhance performance, boost energy and aid muscle recovery)
• Menopure (to help support those going through menopause)

Blu Blazer Guy thoughts:

For the past few months I have been trying my own personalised blend and have been really impressed with the overall experience. The online consultation was relatively quick and easy, and within only a few days I had my own personalised box of vitamins. Because of my previous experience with other chewable vitamins, I thought these vitamin stacks were going to taste terrible, but in fact they are delicious and sweet which genuinely makes taking them so much more satisfying. 

I have also been trying the Nourished Inner / Outer Defence Life Stack which is particularly apt due to the current pandemic that we are going through. This immune-boosting stack includes 7 cleverly combined ingredients to support normal immune function, support gut health and digestion, reduce inflammation and protect against free radicals and foreign toxins. Included in the pack is the ‘outer defence’ hand sanitiser which we currently is in such demand just now. These two go hand in hand to protect from the inside and out. 

These stacks, along with regular exercise are giving me extra confidence knowing that I am supporting my body to best of my ability, both physically and nutritionally. Nourished are not only innovative but also contain well researched ingredients that are of high quality and optimum absorption, which gives me the assurance that I am supplying my body with the best supplements that it needs.

 

I can’t say that my recent boost in energy and mood are directly connected to these vitamin stacks but I do believe that they are definitely contributing to my overall health and wellbeing and that can only be good right?
