feel the confidence.
What if you could feel completely confident that you're getting everything you need to thrive?
It's an experience plant-based eaters know all too well:
A colleague or friend, after seeing your lunch, begins to pepper you with questions about protein, iron, evolution, or the latest diet trend.
Then they'll share a scary quote from an Instagram doctor or an article that features new research on deficiencies in a plant-based diet.
No matter how good you feel about your choices, it's only natural for those questions to creep into the back of your mind…
Sowing tiny seeds of doubt that you may not be making the right choice for your long-term health.
It feels like I’m always tired recently, even when I’m sleeping well… could it be that I’m deficient in B12?
It seems like I’ve been sick a lot this past year… is my diet trashing my immune system?
What if that article is right… and 10 years from now I discover my plant-based diet really has lead to deficiencies?
I’m so cloudy-headed right now. Is it a lack of sleep or a lack of nutrients?
Instead of trying to ignore the nagging concerns in the back of your mind…
What if you could feel completely confident that you're getting everything you need to thrive?
Optimizing your nutrition with hard-to-get nutrients means:
Waking up each morning with a clear, rested mind.
Ditching the afternoon slump and replacing it with focused productivity.
Supporting your immune system to fight off seasonal viruses and help prevent chronic disease in the future.
Establishing an elevated healthspan for years to come.

- Vitamin D3

Ingredients highlights.
Vitamin K2
50 mcg
K2 isn't available in plant-based foods except for natto, a Japanese fermented soy product (and it's not in tempeh), so those eating Western diets need to supplement in order to get it.
Benefits:
Helps with heart and bone health.*
The smart part:
Vitamin K2 is the natural partner to Vitamin D3, acting as a regulator for increased calcium uptake and promoting good bone health. Complement Essential™ includes 50mcg of Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (the natural and most absorbable form of K2) per daily serving, sourced from bacteria.
Sourced from:
USA
Vitamin D3
50 mcg
We love nature and spending time outdoors. But we also wear clothing, and most of us work inside during daylight hours. That means our natural ability to soak up the sun's rays is limited, and as a result, many of us — regardless of dietary pattern — might be deficient in Vitamin D
Benefits:
Supports bone health and immunity.*
The smart part:
While many vegan multivitamins contain the less effective D2 form, Complement Essential™ provides 2,000 IU of the only truly vegan D3 available (Vitashine, sourced from lichen) per daily serving.
Sourced from:
UK
DHA/EPA OMEGA-3S
490 mg
Vegan food sources of Omega-3s like flax and chia seeds don’t provide two essential types — namely DHA and EPA. Seeds provide ALA Omega-3s, and are an amazing addition to your plate, but most people do not convert ALA into DHA and EPA.
Benefits:
Supports brain and cholesterol health, nervous system regulation, and improved energy levels.*
The smart part:
Complement Essential includes 300mg of DHA and 150mg of EPA per daily serving, sustainably sourced from algae grown under controlled conditions and tested for purity.
USA
iodine
450 mg
Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities. In plant foods, iodine is found inconsistently and depends on the iodine content of the soil. It’s possible to get enough iodine if you regularly eat seaweed (multiple times a week), or use iodized salt, but this is one essential nutrient that shouldn’t be overlooked whether you’re vegan or not.
Benefits:
Supports healthy thyroid function, which regulates the metabolism.*
The smart part:
Complement Essential includes 150mcg of iodine per daily serving, sustainably sourced from kelp.
Sourced from:
CANADA
Magnesium
200 mg
Soil depletion is a major cause of Magnesium deficiency in the overall population, and affects vegans as well as non-vegans.
Benefits:
Supports your metabolism, energy levels, mood, and heart health.*
The smart part:
Magnesium works to increase the efficiency of Iodine and helps regulate the thyroid function. Complement Essential includes 200mg of Magnesium per daily serving, in the form of magnesium citrate, the form that’s easiest absorbed by the body.
Sourced from:
USA
Selenium
50 mcg
Our depleted soil may mean that plant foods, in general, do not contain enough Selenium (and that’s even true for some Brazil nuts).
Benefits:
Supports brain health, mood changes, and heart health.*
The smart part:
Similar to Magnesium, Selenium works in tandem with Iodine to promote healthy thyroid function and metabolism, as well as the removal of heavy metals from the body. Complement Essential includes 50mcg of Selenium per daily serving, in the naturally occuring, plant-sourced form of L-selenomethionine.
Sourced from:
INDIA
Zinc
8 mg
Legumes and seeds are the best natural sources on a plant-based diets, but vegans who avoid those food groups, as well as those who are worried about its bioavailability can benefit from the addition of Zinc with Complement Essential.
Benefits:
Supports the skin and nails, healthy growth and eyesight, wound healing, and a well-functioning immune system.*
The smart part:
Complement Essential includes 8mg of Zinc per daily serving, a zinc picolinate, the form easiest for the body to absorb and utilize.
Sourced from:
INDIA
Vitamin B12
300 mcg
Soil bacteria produce Vitamin B12 — which is essential for humans in order to protect neutral health and reduce inflammation. But modern agriculture and other human behaviors decimate these bacterial colonies that produce B12.
Benefits:
Supports red blood cell formation, neurological function, & DNA synthesis.*
The smart part:
Complement Essential contains 300mcg of B12 per daily serving, combining methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, the easiest forms for the body to absorb and use.
Sourced from:
CHINA

Complement Essential Subscription
Fully transparent production.
Complement Essential goes through a rigorous inspection process that includes third-party testing.
We want you to be certain that you are getting the highest quality nutrients, free from pollutants, heavy metals, and harmful pathogens — not to mention common allergens and artificial sweeteners, colors and flavors. That’s why every batch undergoes a rigorous series of tests to confirm that it contains all that it should — and nothing that it shouldn’t.
And we mean rigorous! We do as many as 19 different tests to ensure potency and safety. All this is done in pharmaceutical-grade facilities that are FDA Registered, and operate under cGMP standards.
Third-party tested.
This means that every ingredient and dosage on the back of the bag is verified by an independent lab. And just as important, the ingredients are tested for things like pesticides, E Coli, heavy metals, and salmonella.
Potency
We verify that all active ingredients on the label are present in the right amounts. But we're not satisfied with just meeting those - to ensure potency over time does not diminish, we aim for 10-20% over what the label states.
Heavy Metals
We take soil and water pollution seriously, especially since we design our products to help your body fight against it. Therefore, each batch gets tested for Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury.
Pathogens
Our products are doubly protected by being produced in a certified facility, and tested for yeast and mold, and possible bacterial presence, such as Salmonella, E.coli and other coliforms.
100% Happy
We stand behind our products 100%. If you're not happy with the results, taste, or experience, we'll fix it.
100-day Guarantee
You have a full 100 days after receiving your product to try it out and see if it's the right fit for you.
100% Money-back
And if you don't love it within the first 100 days, we'll issue a full refund. No questions asked. No fine print. That's the Complement guarantee.
Loved by thousands.

I CANNOT say enough good things about Complement Essential and its impact on me/my life. I have felt incredibly good since I started taking it, and I hope this effect continues. I feel more energetic and confident knowing how pure the ingredients are. I hope these effects last a VERY long time.

I love the capsules, the healthy benefits and most of all the minty flavor - it’s not that gross green vitamin flavor other brands have. I look forward to taking them!
Frequently asked questions.
Still not sure? Find answers to your questions here...
What are the nutrition facts?
Is Complement Essential vegan?
Yes, Complement Essential is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. (And so are we.) All of the ingredients are sourced from plants, bacteria, minerals or algae.
Does Complement Essential contain soy, nuts, gluten, GMO's or artificial ingredients?
Complement Essential DOES NOT CONTAIN: Soy, nuts, yeast, gluten, MSG, genetically modified organisms, artificial colors or flavors, fish, dairy, eggs or other animal-sourced ingredients.
Who is behind Complement?
We’re a team of nutrition-first individuals with unique health stories and backgrounds. Together, we're on a mission to support anyone looking to live a healthier life by ensuring they have the nutrients and information they need to thrive. Through sourcing the highest quality ingredients and fully transparent production, we leave absolutely nothing on the table when it comes to developing essential, premium plant-based nutrition products.
Why did you make the capsules black?
The unprocessed and unrefined oil used in Complement Essential naturally contains other beneficial compounds including carotenoids, Omega-7, and Chlorophyll — which gives it a dark green color that appears nearly black.
What does Complement Essential taste like?
Being a capsule, Complement Essential should be swallowed without holding it in the mouth, so there shouldn't be a specific taste. To enhance the experience, however, we include a peppermint tab in each pouch that provides a beautiful mint essence to each capsule.
What is the suggested use?
For adults and children over 12, take 3 vegan capsules daily, preferably with a meal. Store in a cool, dark place. Please recycle the glass bottle after use.
Do I need to take 1 capsule 3 times a day?
Not at all! There shouldn't be any difference between taking all three capsules with a single meal, or spacing them throughout the day.
Can my children take Complement Essential?
We formulated Complement Essential for adults and kids over 12. If you wish to give it to younger children, please consult with your doctor or pediatrician and show them the full ingredients list to determine its suitability and dose. Also, please keep in mind that while most adults and older children have no issues swallowing the capsules, they might be a bit big for younger children. Have a look at Complement spray for an alternative that most of our team members use for their toddlers.
Can I take Complement Essential together with my other supplements or multivitamin?
Complement Essential, together with a whole-food, plant-based diet, will provide you with the nutrients you need to thrive. Formulated for optimal nutrient intake, Complement Essential is safe and non-toxic when taken as directed. If you take another supplement that contains any of the nutrients found in Complement Essential, you may exceed the tolerable upper intake for that nutrient. Speak with your doctor if you have any questions about how Complement Essential works with any other supplements or medications you are taking.
When can I expect my order?
We aim to ship orders within 24 hours of purchase, and all U.S. orders are shipped using 2-day priority mail. In other words, our goal is to get Essential in your hands in just a few days!
