I'm always asked which supplements I take, and I used to say... only B-12... unless there's a known deficiency.

However, as the science has progressed, so has my recommendation.

I now focus on a handful of hard-to-get nutrients, and Complement's all-in-one multi makes it simple, with a formula specifically designed for plant-based eaters.

The ultimate multinutrient for plant-based eaters contains the 8 critical vitamins, omega-3s, and minerals shown to be difficult to obtain, all in one place.

PLANTSTRONG follows the science for long-term health.

At PLANTSTRONG, we follow a whole-food, plant-first philosophy. After all, when you look at the research, whole plants are the most nutritious foods available to us.

But we all live different lifestyles, have different goals, and process foods in our own unique ways. That same research that highlights the power of plants for long-term health also identifies a few key nutrients and omega-3s that, while technically available in plant foods, aren't always consumed in adequate amounts.

That's where Complement Essential comes in. It's the perfect complement to a PLANTSTRONG diet to help you live your best, happiest life, today and for the long-term.

Do Plant-Based Eaters Need A Multi (When Their Food is Already Healthy)?  

As a plant-based eater, you’re already following the healthiest and most responsible diet on earth, enjoying an abundance of most nutrients with every meal and supporting foundational long-term health. But, if you rely on whole foods alone, chances are you’re still missing a few key nutrients — and there’s (almost) nothing you can do about it.

A lack of complete nutrition can, at best, make you function at less than your peak. At worst, it can lead to serious health problems down the line.

But don’t take our word for it…

Look at the Statistics

  • Up to 86.5% of adult and elderly vegetarians are at risk for Vitamin B12 deficiency.1That affects their energy and brain function.

  • More than 41% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D,2 which is crucial for bone and immune health, as well as many other systems. Several health experts believe that D should also be taken in combination with Vitamin K2, to ensure the safe transport of calcium in the bloodstream*.

  • Despite having access to iodized salt, mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency is a public health concern in 30+ countries.3 Iodine is key for the metabolism.

  • Due to plant compounds that reduce absorption, vegetarians may need 50% more zinc than omnivores.4 Low zinc levels can impair immune system function.

  • Most vegans get their omega-3s from nuts, seeds, and oils. These contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which converts to DHA and EPA in the body, but at a very poor rate. Research shows that only 8% of dietary ALA is made into EPA in healthy young men, and 4% or less converts to DHA.5

So what’s going on here? Why can’t plant-based eating alone cover all bases?

Here are 3 good reasons:

Your food is weaker than it used to be.

A United Nations’ study reports that 33% of the world’s soil resources are degraded — largely due to industrial agriculture.6 Poor soil quality negatively impacts the nutrition in our food, as well as its production and sustainability.

You eat the same stuff.

Think about how many of the same foods and meals you eat week after week. A review in Molecular Metabolism revealed that 75% of the world’s food comes from only 12 plants and five animal species.7 That’s not enough variety to ensure optimal nutrition.

Your body can’t absorb some nutrients, and can’t access others.

Plant-based sources of vitamin B12 and Vitamin D aren’t as bioavailable as their animal counterparts, and omega-3 fatty acids like DHA and EPA are nearly impossible to obtain in adequate amounts from a standard plant-based diet.

So what’s the solution?

In some cases, eating more of specific foods rich in the hard-to-get nutrients might help, since that would add more of those nutrients into your diet. But that's not always practical (you'd have to be munching seaweed all day every day to get enough DHA and EPA omega-3s, for example — and then you'd overdose on sodium and iodine).

You could also add individual supplements to your diet to fill in the gaps, but then you’d have to micromanage each one to make sure you’re getting enough, and in the right amounts. Plus, the cost of those individual bottles would add up quickly.

So how about taking a typical multivitamin?

Well, now you’re overcorrecting the problem, paying for a bunch of nutrients you’re already getting from your plant-based diet. You’ll end up peeing out the excess. Talk about money down the drain… And you’re still not getting those omega-3s.

Try Complement Essential (and Feel the Difference)

Now there’s an all-in-one multinutrient supplement that contains only the essential nutrition proven to be lacking in most plant-based diets, and nothing extra.

Complement Essential is:

  • Vitamin B12
  • Vitamin D3
  • Vitamin K2
  • Iodine
  • Magnesium
  • Selenium
  • Zinc
  • DHA / EPA Omega-3s

It's the ultimate complement to healthy, plant-base eating, providing an insurance policy for optimal nutrition.

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.

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 an all-vegan team on a mission to support the health of the vegan movement, by protecting the health of individual vegans with the nutrients 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!

1:1 nutrition support, directly from the experts.
