It’s officially been a year since I started my journey with BalanceOil omega -3 oil, and I wanted to say a huge thank you to every single one of you who, over the last 12 months, has had a test, bought products, supported me, or committed to a subscription. Some of you have been quietly consistent, some curious, some sceptical at first  and I value all of you more than you know.

In an ideal world, we would get everything our body needs from food alone. But when appetite is reduced, whether due to surgery, injections, or major lifestyle changes, it can be difficult to consume enough essential fatty acids, vitamins, and nutrients consistently.

Vitamin D is one of the most important nutrients for human health, yet around 1 billion people worldwide are deficient, and in the UK, this rises dramatically during autumn and winter. Sunlight, lifestyle, hormones, weight, genetics, work patterns and even pollution all determine how much vitamin D our body can make.
