I'll be going on vacation again soon - this time to St John in the Virgin Islands, and a concern for any vegan on vacation is: what am I going to eat? 

I remember going to an all-inclusive in Cabo San Lucas and worried about nutrition. It was 5-star so I was sure they would have a lot of fresh produce, but then I was worried if it was contaminated, washed, left out too long, etc. The only thing that kept me calm about my nutrition was bringing along Vega. Every morning just having the…

Get Your Calcium Without Having a Cow

Get your Calcium! We hear so often about the importance of calcium. We need it for bone health, muscle contractility and nerve conduction etc. Many seek out this amazing mineral going straight to the dairy route, and what better way to get your daily in take than through a creamy, smooth tub of greek yogurt. That's healthy, right? Except for the fact that there is an excess of acidic whey waste (extremely toxic) that…

I was listening to an audio book on my way home from Las Vegas today, and the author said something very important. If people made tiny changes to their lives and did it consistently, big changes will occur over time. Of course I know this, however, to consciously practice it is another thing! I have always wanted to be able to do the splits and be extremely fit and limber. Had I stretched a little every day, I would've achieved that goal already. The same concept applies to diet.If I ate…

Hey there!

I recently discovered the Vega products and love them - thanks!

question - I have Graves Disease, which means I have to be very aware of my iodine intake, essentially reducing it to near zero.  I have been using VEGA SPORT vanilla protein supplement but can't find anywhere that lists the iodine content.  

if you could let me know, and any other Vega products that might be suitable (iodine free) that would be…

Before this week I already knew about my wheat and dairy allergies, but just this week found out that I am also allergic to corn.

It is my recollection that all the Vega products used to be labeled as "wheat-free, dairy-free, soy free and corn free" but the new, re-designed packages now just list "wheat-free, dairy-free and soy free".  Did something change in the way Vega is being produced?

I personally use the Vega Sport Energy powder pre-workouts and Vega One…

As an extreme athlete pursuing the magical place beyond our limitations, VEGA has been a nutritional base allowing me to cross some of those performance and training boundaries. It is my belief that routine and timing, in using the VEGA Sport System products, is key to my ability to move beyond normal recovery and even normal benefits from training.

After a long period write my thesis guess what... I´m back!!!

Hi all, 

I've decided to join the Vega community because I wanted to know more about the products and how others are utilizing them. I'm fairly new as a Vega user, my first purchase were the pre-Workout packets; they aren't the best tasting item but they do work, I used the pre-workout packets to help with my concentration during my classes (I'm a university student). Although I didn't like the taste, I continued to use it until summer 2012. I've picked it up again, I'm using the…

Winter is a time to curl up with a blanket or throw on the insulated running tights. Whether it’s cold or wet, your body craves warmth. There is no easier way to get your circulation flowing than adding some savory heat to your meals, drinks and shakes. Some herbs and spices may just have the kick you need to warm up your chilled body — from the inside out.

It’s easy to incorporate more herbs and spices into your day: Add fresh ginger to a hot cup of rooibos tea; when making a veggie…

So we’ve officially rolled into February, and where you are at with those health and wellness goals for 2013? It’s traditionally around this time that we start to let go of the motivation we had at the New Year, only a month ago.

How can you keep the motivation going? I know for me, it’s all in the scheduling and planning ahead.

1. PLAN AHEAD: I do my grocery shopping for the week on Mondays (after a killer Spin class). So Sunday nights, I take stock of the…

When you are shopping for athletic shoes it is significant to understand what you are getting and why there is so much importance on the type of shoe. Designers have taken into deliberation the fact that people want relieve but their feet need different types of needs depending on the sport they play.

This type of shoes supports a broad variety of shoes that fit…

From www.myvega.com & Andrea Gnys:

With all of your New Year’s resolutions in place, ‘be more active’ is probably among, in one way or another. While kicking activity levels up a notch or two is a great way to get healthy, it`s important to ensure that you’re feeding your body with the proper tools to support your goals. One of the most important things you can do for your body in general – but especially when starting a new or more intense…
