Health Food & Supplement FAQs

How do I know if a health food store is truly organic?

Look for “Soil Association” or “EU Organic” logos on the products. A truly organic store will be happy to show you their certifications and will stock products grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.

What should I look for when buying supplements?

Avoid “fillers” like magnesium stearate or artificial colours. Look for “high bioavailability,” which means the supplement is in a form that your body can actually absorb. If you aren’t sure, our Glasgow staff can help you read the labels!

How to find healthy food options near me?

The best way is to look for independent shops like Jan de Vries in Glasgow. We focus on local, seasonal, and chemical-free foods that you won’t always find in big supermarkets.

What makes a health food store actually healthy?

A good health food store doesn’t just sell “low calorie” food; it sells nutrient-dense food. This means food that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, rather than processed “diet” products.

What are superfoods and why should I care about them?

Superfoods (like blueberries, kale, and chia seeds) are foods that have a very high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants. They are a “shortcut” to getting the nutrition your body needs to fight off illness and keep your energy up.

Best superfoods for energy when working from home?

If you’re at a desk all day, try Macadamia nuts for brain health, Chia seeds in your water for steady energy, and Dark Chocolate (85%+) for a quick mood boost without the sugar crash.

What are the best vitamins for night shift workers?

Vitamin D is essential because you’re missing out on sunlight. Vitamin B12 is also vital for keeping your nervous system healthy and preventing that “heavy” tired feeling.

What supplements help with graveyard shift fatigue?

Magnesium can help you get a deeper sleep during the day, while CoQ10 helps your cells produce energy naturally so you don’t have to rely entirely on caffeine.

Best vitamins for 12-hour shift workers?

For long shifts, Vitamin C helps keep your immune system strong under stress, and Omega-3 fish oils help with joint stiffness and keeping your brain sharp during those final few hours.
