Why should I take supplements if I eat a balanced diet?

Even with the best diet, it’s tricky to get all the Vitamins and nutrients your body needs every day. Many people in the UK are low in Vitamin D, B12, and Folate; nutrients that play a big role in energy, hormones, and immunity. Supplements don’t replace healthy eating, but they fill the gaps and act as Nutritional Insurance for your overall wellbeing.

What makes Vigor different from other supplement brands?

We’re UK-made, women-focused, and science-led. Our formulas are honest, effective, and built around what your body actually needs.

We use premium nutrients in optimal doses, not under-dosed blends, and our eco-friendly Biophotonic Glass Bottles keep Vitamins fresher for longer with no added preservatives.

Where are your products made?

All of our supplements are made in the UK under strict quality standards. We’re proud to support local businesses, maintain transparency, and reduce unnecessary miles in our supply chain.

Are your products sustainable?

Yes! Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do 🖤

Our Vigor Essential Multivitamin comes in a refillable Biophotonic Glass Bottle, which protects nutrients and reduces waste. All refills, including our Collagen and Creatine pouches, are fully recyclable, helping you take care of both your health and the planet.

What is Biophotonic Glass?

Our refillable Biophotonic Glass Bottle helps protect the nutrients inside from harmful light exposure.

This premium packaging helps preserve freshness naturally while reducing the need for unnecessary preservatives and supporting our commitment to sustainability.

Are your supplements safe for long-term use?

Absolutely. Our products are made for safe, daily, long-term use. Each formula is crafted with clean, high-quality ingredients, no fillers, artificial flavours, or unnecessary extras.

Everything we create is backed by science and manufactured under UK safety standards.

Are your supplements tested for quality?

Yes 🙌

All Vigor products are manufactured to strict quality standards and undergo testing to ensure they meet safety, purity, and quality requirements.

However, meeting these standards is only the starting point for us. Before any product becomes part of the Vigor range, we also carry out our own careful selection process, assessing everything from ingredient quality and sourcing to purity, usability and sustainability.

For example, our Creatine and Collagen were chosen not only for their quality and effectiveness, but also because they align with our values around reducing unnecessary waste. We don't believe in choosing the cheapest option simply because it meets the minimum standard. We lead with quality first, selecting products we'd genuinely recommend to our own family and friends.

Are your supplements free from fillers?

We keep our formulas as clean and simple as possible.

Our products are free from unnecessary fillers, artificial flavourings, colours, and additives, allowing you to focus on the ingredients that matter most.

Can men take Vigor supplements?

Yes. Although Vigor was created with women's health in mind, our supplements can absolutely be taken by men too.

The Vitamins in Vigor Essential are essential nutrients that everyone needs, regardless of gender. Likewise, Collagen and Creatine offer benefits that aren't exclusive to women.

Many of our male customers take our collagen to support healthy skin, joints and connective tissues, and some tell us they've noticed they feel less stiff or creaky as part of their daily routine. Creatine is also one of the most well-researched supplements available for supporting muscle strength, physical performance and healthy ageing in both men and women.

Our products are designed to support overall health, whatever your gender.

What is Vigor Essential and who is it for?

Vigor Essential is our once-a-day Women’s Multivitamin Capsule containing all 13 Essential Vitamins plus Choline and Inositol.

It supports energy, hormones, skin, hair, nails, immunity, brain function, and recovery; everything your body needs in one simple capsule.

It’s made for busy, health-conscious women who want to feel and look their best without juggling multiple supplements.

What Vitamins are women commonly deficient in?

Many women in the UK may not consume optimal amounts of certain nutrients, including Vitamin D, B Vitamins, and Folate.

Factors such as busy lifestyles, dietary choices, stress, and limited sunlight exposure can all contribute to nutritional gaps.

Can Vitamins help support energy levels?

Certain Vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, including Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, and Vitamin C.

Vigor Essential contains these nutrients to help support your daily nutritional intake.

Can I take Vigor Essential during Perimenopause?

Yes. Vigor Essential was formulated specifically for women and contains all 13 Essential Vitamins, plus Choline and Inositol.

During perimenopause, nutritional needs can change, and maintaining a consistent intake of key Vitamins becomes even more important. Vigor Essential is designed to help support your daily nutritional intake, normal energy metabolism, immune function and overall wellbeing, alongside a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

While it isn't a treatment for perimenopausal symptoms, it can help provide nutritional support during this stage of life.

Can I take Vigor Essential after Menopause?

Absolutely. While Vigor Essential is popular with women navigating Perimenopause, many of our customers continue taking it during and after Menopause.

Our nutritional needs don't disappear once Menopause is over. Supporting your body with essential vitamins remains important for normal energy metabolism, immune function and overall health as you age.

Vigor Essential provides a simple, high-quality way to help fill nutritional gaps and support your wellbeing every day.

Can I take Vigor Essential if I have PMOS (previously named PCOS)?

Absolutely. Many women with PMOS / PCOS choose to take nutrients such as Inositol, Choline, Vitamin D, and B Vitamins as part of their daily wellness routine.

Vigor Essential provides these nutrients in one convenient capsule and is designed to support overall nutritional intake and wellbeing.

We wrote a blog on this topic which you can read here.

Can I take Vitamins on an empty stomach?

Yes, you can take Vitamins on an empty stomach, but some people find they are better tolerated when taken with food. Fat-soluble Vitamins (such as Vitamins A, D, E and K) are absorbed more effectively alongside a meal containing some healthy fats.

We recommend taking Vigor Essential with a meal as part of your daily routine, but the most important thing is finding a time that works consistently for you.

What is Inositol?

Inositol is a naturally occurring compound that is often described as a vitamin-like nutrient. It plays a role in cell signalling, including pathways involved in insulin sensitivity and hormone regulation.

We include Inositol in Vigor Essential because it is particularly relevant to women’s health, helping to support normal hormone function and metabolic health as part of a balanced lifestyle.

What does Choline do?

Choline is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in several areas of health, including normal liver function, brain function and the maintenance of normal homocysteine metabolism.

The body can make small amounts of Choline, but we also need to get it through our diet. We include Choline in Vigor Essential to help support overall health, particularly during times when our nutritional needs may change.

Will I notice a difference from taking a Multivitamin?

Everyone's experience is different.

If you're low in certain Vitamins, you may notice improvements in things like energy levels, general wellbeing or immune health once those nutrient levels are restored. Others may notice stronger nails or healthier-looking hair over time, although these changes typically take several months of consistent use.

Some of the biggest benefits of a Multivitamin aren't always things you can immediately feel. Vitamins play important roles in supporting normal immune function, energy metabolism, brain function and many other processes happening behind the scenes every day.

Think of a Multivitamin as Nutritional Insurance rather than a quick fix. It's there to help fill nutritional gaps and support your long-term health, even when the benefits aren't always immediately noticeable.

What is Vigor Collagen and what does it do?

Vigor Collagen is the UK’s first pure Marine and Bovine Collagen blend, supporting skin elasticity, stronger hair and nails, joint health, gut balance, muscles, and even sleep.

It’s tasteless, dissolves easily in hot or cold drinks, and delivers high-quality Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides for maximum absorption.

Check out our blog for more info on Collagen!

What's the difference between Marine and Bovine Collagen?

Both Marine and Bovine Collagen offer unique benefits, which is exactly why we chose to include both.

Marine Collagen is naturally rich in Type I Collagen; the most abundant Collagen in the body. It's found in the skin, hair, nails, tendons and bones, and its smaller peptide size means it dissolves easily into drinks and food.

Bovine Collagen provides both Type I and Type III Collagen, which are widely found in connective tissues including the skin, muscles, joints and organs.

Rather than choosing one over the other, we combined both. Vigor Collagen is the UK's first pure blend of Wild-Caught Marine and Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen, helping to support your body from the inside out with no fillers or unnecessary ingredients.

How much Collagen should I take per day?

We recommend 1 Vigor Scoop (or 3 teaspoons) daily, providing around 8g of Collagen Peptides.

You can take up to 15g per day depending on your goals. Mix it into water, coffee, smoothies, or porridge. It’s completely tasteless and blends smoothly with no clumps.

Most people notice visible and physical results, smoother skin, stronger nails, or better joint comfort, within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use.

If you prefer, you can spread your Collagen intake throughout the day, but it's not essential. The most important thing is taking it consistently. If adding it to your morning coffee is the easiest way to remember, that's far better than trying to split the dose and missing it altogether.

How long does it take for Collagen to work?

Collagen works differently for everyone, and it isn’t a quick fix! Consistency is what supports your body over a long period of time.

Most Collagen research looks at daily use over a period of around 8–12 weeks, with some people noticing changes sooner and others taking longer. The key is taking it consistently every day, alongside the foundations of good health such as a balanced diet, movement, sleep and hydration.

Our Vigor Collagen provides 8g of Collagen Peptides per daily serving, with no fillers or unnecessary additives.

Can I take Collagen on an empty stomach?

Yes, you can take Collagen on an empty stomach. Collagen Peptides are broken down during digestion and absorbed by the body, so there is no requirement to take them with food.

Some people prefer adding Collagen to their morning coffee, smoothie or breakfast, while others take it later in the day. The best time to take it is simply the time you’ll remember to make part of your routine.

Does Collagen help with Perimenopause/Menopause?

Collagen can be a helpful addition during Perimenopause and Menopause, particularly as our natural Collagen production begins to decline with age.

Collagen Peptides provide Amino Acids that support the body’s own Collagen production, which plays a role in maintaining normal skin, bones and connective tissues. Many women choose to include Collagen alongside other lifestyle habits that support this stage of life, including strength training, good nutrition, sleep and stress management.

Collagen isn’t a replacement for these foundations, but it can be one simple way to support your body as it changes.

What does Creatine do for women?

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the world and plays an important role in helping the body produce energy.

It is widely used to support exercise performance, strength, recovery, and muscle health.

Women may choose to take Creatine to support active lifestyles, healthy ageing, and overall physical performance.

Our Vigor Creatine contains nothing but 100% pure Creatine Monohydrate with no fillers, flavourings, or unnecessary additives.

Read more here 👈

Is Creatine safe for women?

Yes 💓

Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements available and is considered safe for healthy adults when taken at the recommended daily serving.

It is suitable for women of all ages and can be used alongside a healthy diet and active lifestyle.

Can women take Creatine every day?

Absolutely. Creatine works best when taken consistently.

We recommend taking 5g daily (1 x Vigor Scoop) to maintain optimal Creatine levels within the body. It can be taken at any time of day and mixed into water, smoothies, protein shakes, or other drinks.

Do I need a loading phase?

No. A loading phase isn't necessary.

Simply take 5g every day and stay consistent. Although a loading phase can saturate your muscles slightly faster, taking 5g daily will achieve the same result over time without the need for larger doses.

A small number of people may notice temporary water retention or mild bloating when they first start taking creatine. If this happens, try starting with a smaller amount and gradually building up to the full 5g daily serving.

Does Creatine make you gain weight?

Creatine doesn't cause fat gain.

Some people experience a small amount of temporary water retention when they first begin taking Creatine. This is because Creatine draws water into your muscle cells, where it's stored and used to support energy production.

Does Creatine cause bloating?

Most people tolerate Creatine very well.

Some individuals may notice mild water retention when they first begin taking Creatine, but this is usually temporary and often settles as the body adjusts.

How do I know if my Creatine is high quality?

When choosing a Creatine supplement, quality and purity matter.

Vigor Creatine contains 100% pure Creatine Monohydrate with no fillers, sweeteners, flavourings, or unnecessary additives.

High-quality Creatine should be:
• 100% Creatine Monohydrate
• Free from unnecessary fillers and additives
• Tested for purity and quality
• Manufactured with transparent standards
• Low in common manufacturing impurities

During production, small amounts of by-products can naturally occur. Common Creatine impurities include Creatinine, Dicyandiamide (DCD), and Dihydrotriazine (DHT). Our high-quality Creatine is carefully tested to ensure these remain at very low levels.

At Vigor, quality and simplicity are central to everything we do.

Is Creatine safe during Perimenopause?

Yes, Creatine is one of the most researched supplements available and is generally considered safe for healthy adults when taken at recommended doses.

During Perimenopause, changes in hormones can affect muscle mass, strength and energy levels. Creatine helps support the body’s natural energy system and is widely used to support muscle function, particularly alongside resistance training and regular movement.

Our Vigor Creatine contains 5g of pure Creatine Monohydrate per daily serving, with no fillers or unnecessary ingredients.

Will Creatine make me bulky?

We wish!

One of the biggest misconceptions about Creatine is that it makes women bulky. The reality is that building significant muscle takes years of consistent strength training, a calorie surplus and, in many cases, genetics.

Women also naturally have much lower testosterone levels than men, making it much harder to build large amounts of muscle.

Instead, Creatine helps support lean muscle growth when combined with resistance training. Maintaining muscle is one of the most important things we can do for healthy ageing, supporting strength, balance, metabolic health and helping to protect our bones as we get older.

So no, Creatine won't make you bulky. It can simply help you become stronger, healthier and more resilient.

Vigor Essential contains Vitamin C, which helps your body absorb and use Collagen effectively.

Together, they form a powerhouse duo that supports your skin, hormones, energy, and overall vitality from the inside out.
