The 6 Pillars of Real Health: Why We’re Keeping It Honest at Vigor Vitamins

The 6 Pillars of Real Health: Why We’re Keeping It Honest at Vigor Vitamins

Hi, I’m Rachel Beck, founder of Vigor Vitamins.
And I’m here to be very clear about something:

The supplement industry can be… a lot.

There’s a wave of products being marketed as “healthy” that are full of:

Fillers

Artificial flavours

Sweeteners

Synthetic colourings

Unnecessary additives

And worst of all, they’re often sold as if they’re the solution to your wellbeing struggles.

But health doesn’t start with a supplement.
Health begins with the basics, the everyday habits that support your mind, body and hormones in a long-term, sustainable way.

This is why at Vigor Vitamins, we focus on the 6 core pillars of health.
These are the foundations that lifestyle medicine practitioners, and real-world wellbeing experts agree make the biggest difference in how you feel day to day.


The 6 Pillars of Health

1. Nutrition

Not restrictive diets.
Not “good” vs “bad” food rules.
Just real, whole foods that support energy, skin, hormones and gut health.

2. Movement

Movement should feel good, not punishing.
Walking, yoga, weights, dancing in your kitchen — it all counts.
Your body was built to move, not sit all day.

3. Restorative Sleep

Sleep is the quiet foundation of energy, mood, metabolism and recovery.
7–9 hours isn’t a luxury — it’s a health essential.

4. Stress Management

Your nervous system controls everything — hormones, digestion, inflammation, mindset.
Deep breaths, boundaries, nature, slower living.
Small habits, profound effects.

5. Social Connection

Humans are not meant to do life alone.
Friendship, community and support are just as vital as vitamins.

6. Avoiding Harmful Substances

Less alcohol, less smoking, less of the things that pull your body away from balance rather than toward it.


Where Supplements Fit In

Supplements don’t replace these pillars.
They support them.

Think of supplements as:

a top up

a foundation boost

a daily nutritional insurance policy

Not a miracle cure.

That’s why Vigor Essential — our women’s multivitamin — contains:

No fillers

No flavourings

No added colours

No unnecessary additives

Just pure, bioavailable vitamins your body can actually absorb, made in the UK, and delivered in biophotonic glass to preserve quality and freshness naturally.

Because real health is simple.
And it should feel simple.


Why I Started Vigor Vitamins

I launched Vigor to revolutionise the UK supplement market — to bring honesty, clarity, quality and truth back into women’s wellness.

I was tired of:

Confusing advice

Marketing tricks

Low quality products being sold as “premium”

and women being misled about what they actually need for hormone balance, energy, skin health and mood support.

I believe women deserve:

Transparency

Trust

Education

and genuine wellbeing support

And that’s exactly what Vigor exists to provide.

No hype.
No secrets.
Just health that makes sense.


If You Take Anything Away From This:

Real health is built in the everyday.
Your habits are powerful.
Your wellbeing is yours to shape.

We’re simply here to support you with clean, high-quality nutrition that respects your body and your intelligence.

Let’s rewrite what wellness looks like in the UK.
