Introducing Complement Plus
Everything You Need For Your Healthy Lifestyle... And Nothing You Don't
Complement Plus Provides:
The 'Big 3' — B12, D3 and DHA/EPA Omega-3 fatty acids. The three essential nutrients that are missing from a reasonably diverse, whole plant-based diet.
Plus Essential Extras - Complement Plus includes iodine , zinc, and K2 two important minerals not abundantly found in plant-based foods.
The Smart Parts - To make sure the ingredients of Complement Plus truly complement each other it also contains magnesium and selenium.
"I love Complement because it has everything I need to thrive on a whole food, plant-based diet."
Jon McMahon, Founder of iThrive
Always Made With Our Family & Friends In Mind
We all agree that to thrive, you need lots of whole plants.
After all, a diverse diet of whole plants provides almost every vitamin and mineral required.
That's almost.
It turns out a few critical micronutrients may not be adequately provided even by the most diverse plant-based diets: vitamin B12, vitamin D3, and DHA/EPA, to name the most important ones that most people who eat plant-based diets know about (yet do not always consume enough of). But there are others, too.
A handful of minerals — like iodine, zinc, and selenium — aren't necessarily impossible to build into your plant-based diet, but require lots of planning and effort, nevertheless.
The blame here doesn't fall on plant-based diets, but rather on modern agricultural practices which have depleted our soil. So deficiency actually affects vegans and non-vegans alike.
Finally, there's vitamin K2 — found in only one plant-based food, an obscure Japanese fermented soy product called natto — that's almost impossible to find in the US (and honestly, if you tasted it, you'd probably be glad you can't find it!). But vitamin K2 is important enough that several prominent plant-based doctors now recommend supplementing with it.
It's clear that vegans can benefit from some small amount of supplementation... but at the same the time, you don't need a whole multivitamin, if you're eating a reasonably diverse, whole food, plant-based diet.
In fact, with all the fillers and unnecessary mega-doses most multivitamins contain, it's quite possible they do more harm than good.
That's why we designed Complement Plus — an extension of the original Complement formula — to ensure the health and happiness of every member in our tribe. It contains just the handful of hard-to-come-by nutrients in a plant-based diet (without unnecessary nutrients we're already getting from our food), provided in forms that increase absorption, and combined to work together as a whole, delivered in a convenient, clean, non-GMO vegan capsule.

What's Inside?
VITAMIN B12
Soil bacteria produce vitamin B12 — which is essential for humans in order to protect neural health and reduce inflammation. But modern agriculture and other human behaviors decimate these bacterial colonies that produce B12. Vitamin B12 is required for proper red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis, and for avoiding pernicious anemia.
The Smart Part: Complement Plus™ contains 300mcg of B12 per daily serving, in the form of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, the easiest forms for the body to absorb and use.
VITAMIN D3
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. Scientific evidence suggests that being “D-ficient” may increase the risk of various chronic diseases, from osteoporosis to heart disease, some cancers, and even multiple sclerosis.
The Smart Part: While many vegan multivitamins contain the less effective D2 form, Complement Plus™ provides 2,000 IU of the only truly vegan D3 available (Vitashine, sourced from lichen) per daily serving.
OMEGA-3s in DHA/EPA form
We've all heard of the importance of Omega-3's, but vegan food sources like flax and chia seeds don't provide two essential types — namely DHA and EPA. Seeds provide ALA Omega-3's, and are an amazing addition to your plate, but vegans may not adequately intake DHA and EPA, which are critical for cardiovascular and brain health (nor do most people adequately convert ALA into DHA and EPA). Omega-3’s play a key role in nearly every cell of your body. As such, a daily intake of these essential fatty acids is critical for optimal functioning — from regulating your cholesterol levels to powering your nervous system.
The Smart Part: Complement Plus™ includes 300 mg of DHA and 150mg of EPA per daily serving, sustainably sourced from algae grown under controlled conditions and tested for purity.
VITAMIN K2
Preliminary evidence indicates that vitamin K2 might reduce the risk of heart disease, prostate cancer and osteoporosis. 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.
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 Plus™ includes 50mcg of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (the natural and most absorbable form of K2) per daily serving, sourced from bacteria.
ZINC
Zinc assists with carbohydrate metabolism, efficient production of testosterone (to prevent estrogen dominance), helps enhance the skin and nails, your sense of smell, healthy eyesight, wound healing, and a well-functioning immune system. Legumes and seeds are the best natural sources on a plant-based diet, but some who avoid those food groups, as well as those who are worried about its bioavailability can benefit from the zinc provided in Complement Plus™.
The Smart Part: Complement Plus™ includes 8mg of zinc per daily serving, as zinc picolinate, the form easiest for the body to absorb and utilize.
IODINE
Iodine is needed for healthy thyroid function which regulates metabolism. 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.
The Smart Part: Complement Plus™ includes 150mcg of iodine per daily serving, sustainably sourced from kelp.
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium affects your mood, weight, sleep health, regularity, heart beat, energy, metabolism, how you feel through the day physically, and can even affect PMS and depression. Soil depletion is a major cause of magnesium deficiency in the overall population, and affects vegans as well as non-vegans.
The Smart Part: Magnesium works to increase the efficiency of Iodine and helps regulate the thyroid function. Complement Plus™ includes 200 mg of magnesium per daily serving, in the form of magnesium citrate, the form that's most easily absorbed by the body.
SELENIUM
Selenium deficiency can increase the risk of infection and disease and is linked to a number of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and mood changes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Deficiency has also been linked to reproductive problems, including male and female infertility. Our depleted soil may mean that plant foods, in general, do not contain enough selenium.
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 Plus™ includes 50mcg of selenium per daily serving, in the naturally occurring, plant-sourced form of L-selenomethionine.
POLAR LIPIDS
Complement Plus™ is produced with AlmegaPL® algal oil, the only algal oil where the Omega-3s are bound with polar-lipids (phospholipids and glycolipids) – providing the health benefits of EPA with enhanced absorption. AlmegaPL® naturally contains other beneficial compounds including carotenoids, Omega-7, and chlorophyll.
The Smart Part: Studies show that the polar lipids present in AlmegaPL® algal oil make the absorption rate of DHA and EPA up to 50% higher than krill oil, and 130% higher than fish oil. Complement Plus™ includes 90 mg of polar lipids per daily serving, sourced from algae grown under controlled conditions and tested for purity.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I expect my order?
Complement Plus™ is in stock, and you can expect your order in 5-7 business days after placing it (international delivery times will vary, of course).
Who is Alpine Organics?
Learn more about our (all-vegan) team here!
Is Complement Plus™ vegan?
Yes, Complement Plus™ is vegan and cruelty-free. (And so are we.) All of the ingredients are sourced from plants, bacteria, minerals or algae.
Why did you make the capsules black?'
What you see when you look at Complement Plus™ capsules is the natural color of the AlmegaPL® algal oil we use. Rather than being a processed, refined oil, AlmegaPL® naturally contains other beneficial compounds including carotenoids, Omega-7, and Chlorophyll - which gives it a dark green color that appear nearly black in the capsules. We believe in only using necessary ingredients - and artificial colors are not among them!
How do you ensure the quality of the ingredients?
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. Basically, we won’t sell something that we wouldn’t give to our own children on a daily basis.
We are fully transparent about the sourcing of our ingredients, and each batch of Complement Plus we produce goes through a series of third party tests before it's released, to confirm its potency and the absence of pathogens and heavy metals. Learn more about our process here.
What does Complement Plus™ taste like?
Being a capsule, Complement Plus™ should be swallowed without holding it in the mouth, so there's no specific flavor to expect.
Should I take all 3 capsules at once for the daily dose, or one with each meal?
There shouldn't be any difference between taking all three capsules with a single meal, or spacing them throughout the day.
The one thing that is somewhat important is taking them with meals that contain at least some amount of fat, as this will help with the absorption of the nutrients.
Can my children take Complement Plus™?
We formulated Complement Plus™ 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.
Can I take Complement Plus™ together with my multivitamin or other supplements?
Complement Plus™, together with a whole food, plant-based diet, will provide you with the nutrients you need to thrive. Formulated for optimal nutrient intake, Complement Plus™ is safe and non-toxic when taken as directed. If you take another supplement that contains any of the nutrients found in Complement Plus™, you may exceed the tolerable upper intake for that nutrient. Speak with your doctor if you have any questions about how Complement Plus™ works with any other supplements or medications you are taking.
Can I take Complement Plus™ on an empty stomach?
Complement Plus™ is best taken with food to maximize nutrient absorption - preferably meals that contain at least some amount of fat.
I have a nut allergy, can I take Complement Plus™?
Yes, Complement Plus™ is nut-free.
Does Complement Plus™ ship internationally?
YES!! We are thrilled that we can now offer international shipping for Complement Plus™ to Canada, EU, Australia and New Zealand (more countries coming soon). Please keep in mind, though, that any customs or import fees are your responsibility, and that you should make sure you are allowed to receive nutritional supplements via international mail before placing an order.
