Vitamin Supplements - Kenya
Wanjiku always struggled with acne, brittle nails, and dull hair, which left her self-conscious and frustrated.
No matter how many skincare products she tried, nothing seemed to work.
It wasn't until a visit to a nutritionist that she realized her issues were rooted in vitamin deficiencies.
Within weeks of incorporating vitamins and dietary Supplements, her skin began clearing up, her nails strengthened, and her confidence soared.
In Kenya, nutrient deficiencies are increasingly common due to factors like intensive agricultural practices, use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and modern cooking methods such as frequent microwave use, which degrade essential vitamins.
Understanding these vitamins and supplementing appropriately can drastically improve overall health.
Vitamin A (Retinol, Beta-carotene)
Vitamin A is vital for good vision, healthy skin, and a robust immune system. You will notice that Eye Health Supplements are formulated with Vitamin-A
Kenyan foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach (sukumawiki), kale, and pumpkin.
Unfortunately, prolonged cooking and microwave use significantly reduce vitamin A content in these foods.
Western Cosmetics stocks quality supplements such as Jarrow Formulas CarotenALL, combining beta-carotene and other carotenoids, ensuring you get ample vitamin A for healthy eyes and vibrant skin.
Vitamin B Complex
The B Complex Vitamin play crucial roles in metabolism, energy production, nerve health, and skin quality. Stress and diet changes can rapidly deplete these vitamins.
Vitamin B Complex supplements can either be taken as one supllement with all of them but it is advisable to take specific components so that you can get the right dose. A single pill is too small to carry all the required daily required doses.
B1 (Thiamine) Thiamine deficiency can result from excessive consumption of refined maize flour.
Whole grains, beans, lentils, and nuts are good sources.
B2 (Riboflavin) B2 maintains healthy skin and vision. Good Kenyan sources include eggs, milk, sukumawiki, and avocados.

Vitamin C supplements differ in sources and formulation. The best type of Vitamin-C is liposomal Vitamin-C.
Life Extension Vitamin C supplements for immune and skin health.
Vitamin D (D2 Ergocalciferol, D3 Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D is critical for bone health and immune function.
Despite Kenya's sunny climate, many urban residents lack adequate exposure.
Foods like egg yolks, fish, and fortified milk provide small amounts of Vitamin D. In fact, Vitamin D defficiency in Africa is very high according to research, despite the tropical sun.
This is the reason why Vitamin D supplements are crucial.
Western Cosmetics recommends Jarrow Formulas Vitamin D3 supplements for optimal bone and immune health.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting skin and cells from oxidative stress.
Kenyan avocados, sunflower seeds, and spinach contain vitamin E are some of the greatest sources of Vitamin-E.
To combat dietary insufficiencies, Vitamin E supplements like Life Extension Vitamin E capsules at Western Cosmetics enhance skin health and offer antioxidant protection.
Vitamin K (K1 Phylloquinone, K2 Menaquinone)
Vital for blood clotting and bone health, vitamin K is abundant in sukumawiki, spinach, broccoli, and fermented foods.
This vitamin is very important in transporting calcium from the blood streams into the bones, the reason you will notice bone health supplements and Vitamin D3 supplements are formulated with Vitamin K2 or Vitamin MK7.
