Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. It does this by contributing to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. In fact, without enough vitamin D our bodies may struggle to absorb enough bone supporting calcium.
There are also the immune support benefits provided by vitamin D. Evidence has shown that this vitamin contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, normal cell division and normal muscle function.
As the UK’s number 1 vitamin D brand we have an entire range of Ultra vitamin D supplements that vary in strengths, from Ultra Vitamin D 400 IU to Ultra Vitamin D 4000 IU. For those who are not keen on taking tablets we also have our delicious vegan gummies available in natural orange flavour - Ultra Vitamin D Gummies 1000 IU.
Vitamin C doesn’t just help with the normal functioning of our immune system, nervous system and psychological function, it also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin.

Ultra Zinc is formulated with 15mg of zinc, which is carefully balanced with 1000μg of copper.
Magnesium is used in over 300 biochemical reactions within the body, and one of the key ones is converting the foods we eat into energy. Magnesium then helps deliver this energy to cells, so naturally, a lack of magnesium could leave you feeling fatigued and/or tired.
Additionally, magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal muscle and psychological function.
Finally, another important role of magnesium is that it contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Working closely with calcium, it ensures calcium is taken from the bloodstream, to support bones.
Two tablets of Ultra Magnesium provide 100% (375mg) of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV%) of magnesium.
Selenium is an essential mineral with a number of vital roles in the body.
Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system, as well as normal thyroid function. Additionally, selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails.
And finally, alongside vitamin C and vitamin E, selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
Ultra Selenium contains 165µg premium quality selenium in a convenient one-a-day tablet.
Calcium contributes to normal energy release and the normal function of digestive enzymes. And alongside vitamin D, calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function, along with having a role in the process of cell division. In addition, calcium contributes to normal neurotransmission.
Ultra Calcium provides a rich source of calcium which is carefully balanced with vitamin D.
You will also find calcium in a number of other products, including Wellkid Calcium Liquid, Menopace Calcium and across the Osteocare range.
We need iron for the formation of haemoglobin for red blood cells. This haemoglobin carries oxygen to the brain, heart, muscles and to tissues throughout the body, essentially providing us with energy.
