Q&A With The Scientists Behind The Plant-Based Essentials

Have you ever wondered what goes into creating a high-quality supplement? Or have you ever wondered whether a supplement is right for you?

We went straight to the source to ask the questions – the scientists who spent years researching, testing, and perfecting the plant-based essentials vegan multivitamin.

We put together a list of our 10 most-asked questions about The Plant-Based Essentials, sent it over to the scientists behind the formulation, and asked away…

1. What makes this supplement different from others on the market?

The Plant Based Essentials is designed specifically for those following a vegan or plant-based diet, addressing nutrient gaps that tend to be common when following this lifestyle. Our goal here was to create a supplement that really targeted what was needed when eliminating meat and dairy products from the diet, which are huge sources of vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. Unlike many supplements out there, our formula was created by scientists using evidence-based formulations rooted in research and using the strictest quality standards in the industry.

2. What specific nutrient gaps does this product address?

It targets deficiencies in key nutrients that are often hard to obtain from plant-based diets, such as vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, and iron. These nutrients are crucial for energy, brain health, and overall wellness, and deficiencies in any of these can lead to serious health issues.

3. How do you ensure the quality and safety of the product?

We use the strictest testing standards – each batch is third-party tested for contaminants like heavy metals and microbials and complies with Prop 65 standards. Our products are manufactured in the USA in an FDA-regulated and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified facility.

Nu Pursuit was founded on the basis of quality and safety and we refuse to cut corners.

4. What scientific evidence backs up the formula and dosages?

Every ingredient and dosage in The Plant Based Essentials is grounded in scientific research. Each nutrient was chosen based on its bioavailability and relevance to plant-based nutrition. For instance, the iodine used here is sourced from kelp and supports thyroid function, and the iron included is in a gentle, non-constipating form for easy absorption. We also use methylcobalamin for B12, as it’s a bioactive form of B12 that is easily utilized by the body.

5. What are the benefits of taking this supplement regularly?

Regular use helps maintain energy levels, supports brain and heart health, and fills critical gaps in a vegan and plant-based diet in a highly targeted way. This product is all about prevention and sustained well-being, not just addressing deficiencies.

6. How did your scientific background influence the creation of this product?

We were founded by a research scientist who had years of experience in the biotech world, and it was very important to us to create a product that supported her mission: to prioritize evidence over trends. Our focus was creating a supplement that’s both effective and transparent, a product we would take ourselves, and one that we would recommend to our loved ones.

7. When and how should I take this supplement for the best results?

Take two capsules of The Plant Based Essentials with a meal to aid absorption. For most people, mornings work best, but consistency is key—find a time that fits your routine.

8. Can I take this alongside other supplements or medications?

It’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure compatibility with other supplements or medications you’re taking.

9. How do I know if I need this supplement?

If you follow a plant-based diet, struggle with fatigue, or have difficulty meeting your nutrient needs through food alone, then the plant-based essentials is likely a product for you. If you’ve been following a plant-based diet for a while and are concerned about specific deficiencies, you can consider getting tested to confirm specific deficiencies and decide if you’re a good candidate for this product.

10. How do I trust that this supplement is worth the investment?

Nu Pursuit prioritizes transparency, science, and quality. We disclose every ingredient and dosage (no proprietary blends…) so you know exactly what you’re taking. Third-party testing ensures you’re getting what’s promised.
