Health

This is your health hub at QNT: a single entry point that brings together everything that supports your everyday wellbeing, beyond protein and the gym floor. You will find the essential vitamins and minerals, omega 3, collagen, turmeric, plus immune, vitality and joint complexes, along with formulas designed for men, for women and for body composition.

The idea is simple: a modern diet, often processed, does not always cover all your needs, especially if you are an athlete or very active. A food supplement fills those gaps in a targeted way. That is true for micronutrients, but also for protein intake: a protein food supplement like a whey or a bar stays an easy reflex when your plate runs short on protein, particularly for older profiles or very active seniors. A supplement replaces neither a balanced plate nor a healthy lifestyle. It rounds them out.

How to find your way around:

• Daily foundation: multivitamins, vitamin D, omega 3
• Defences: vitamin C, zinc, immune complexes
• Targeted vitality: men's and women's formulas, energy and tone management
• Comfort and body composition: collagen, joints, weight-management support

Want the detail micronutrient by micronutrient? Head to the Vitamins and Minerals collection. Here, we give you the big picture so you can build your routine.

If you are new to supplementation, start with the basics. A daily multivitamin gathers into a single serving the vitamins and minerals your body needs every day. It is the ideal safety net when your diet varies, when you train hard, or when you are short on time to cook balanced meals.

QNT offers Daily Vitamins, a complete and accessible complex, plus dedicated formulas: Multivitamin Men's (enriched with zinc and ginseng) and Multivitamin Women's (designed for women's needs). Several vitamins in these complexes, such as vitamin C and vitamin D, contribute to the normal function of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Vitamin D deserves its own mention: it is one of the most common shortfalls, particularly in winter and for people who get little sun exposure. Vitamin D3 3000 IU contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal muscle function, and to the normal function of the immune system.

The right habit: a course of a few weeks to a few months, ideally in the morning with a meal.

Omega 3 is among the nutrients most often neglected in the diet, even though it is essential. You find it mainly in oily fish, certain oils and nuts. If your plate is short on it, supplementation is a simple way to rebalance your intake.

At QNT, you have two dosages:

• Omega 3 1000 mg: the everyday formula, easy to slot in
• Omega 3 - 3000 mg: a reinforced supply of EPA and DHA for higher needs

EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function, with a daily intake of 250 mg. DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and normal brain function, with that same intake of 250 mg per day.

Looking for the full trio? Omega 3-6-9 combines all three families of fatty acids. In practice, omega 6 and 9 are already well present in the Western diet: it is mainly omega 3 intake that tends to fall short, which is why it makes sense to favour a product that guarantees a sufficient dose of it. Take them preferably with a meal that contains fat, for better absorption.

When the seasons change, when fatigue builds up, or when training sessions stack one after another, many athletes want to support their natural defences. Several micronutrients contribute to this in a recognised way.

The safe bets in the range:

• Multivitamins (Daily Vitamins): the vitamin C they supply contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Zinc: zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
• Calcium-Magnesium-Zinc: a handy mineral trio that pairs zinc with calcium and magnesium

For athletes who string together intense efforts, note that there is a recognised contribution of vitamin C to the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise: it applies on condition of an additional intake of 200 mg per day, on top of the reference intake.

Who it is for: anyone during periods of fatigue or heavy training load, and especially heading into winter. The classic approach is a course: a few weeks of daily intake, then a break. As always, these supplements go alongside enough sleep and a varied diet. They do not replace them.

The B-group vitamins are among the most searched-for, and for good reason. Vitamin B12 and vitamin B9 (folate) play a central role in energy and cell renewal.

What the reference intakes say:

• Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the normal function of the nervous system and to normal red blood cell formation. It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Vitamin B9 (folate) contributes to normal blood formation, to the normal function of the immune system and plays a role in the process of cell division. It is particularly monitored in women.

A vitamin B12 shortfall mainly affects people following a vegetarian or vegan diet, as well as certain older profiles whose absorption declines. The symptoms often cited for a B12 or folate deficit (tiredness, low energy) are not specific: when in doubt, only a blood test settles it. On the folate side, needs rise at certain stages of life.

In the range, you find B12 and the B vitamins within the Daily Vitamins, Multivitamin Men's and Multivitamin Women's complexes. If you suspect a deficit, a simple blood test with a healthcare professional is still the best starting point.

Beyond the daily foundation, some formulas target a specific need: regaining tone, getting through busy periods better, or supporting vitality across the training seasons.

For vitality and motivation to train, the range offers Tribulus Terrestris 1000 mg, Testek and Eroxa, formulas based on plants and active ingredients traditionally associated with tone and male energy. To be clear: these are supplements for general support of wellbeing and fitness, not hormonal or medical products, and they make no promise of any action on hormones.

On the balance side, the multivitamin complexes supply a B-vitamin complex that contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, a good reflex during demanding stretches.

Who it is for:

• Active men looking to maintain tone and vitality
• Women wanting a tailored formula (Multivitamin Women's)
• Anyone going through a demanding period, in sport or otherwise

These products are used as a course, alongside a balanced lifestyle. Ask a professional for advice if you are already on any treatment.

With age and repeated training, many athletes take an interest in joint comfort and tissue quality. Several products in the range focus on this area.

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the skin, joints, tendons and ligaments. The body's natural production of it declines with age, which is why a supplementary intake makes sense. Hydrolysed Collagen 500 mg offers a form of collagen that is easy to take daily. We describe it here factually: it is a supply of structural protein, with no cosmetic or therapeutic promise.

Other allies for comfort:

• Joint +: a formula combining glucosamine, chondroitin, vitamin D3 and calcium; vitamin D and calcium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones
• Curcuma+: curcumin, paired with Boswellia serrata and vitamin C, in a vegan complex popular with athletes

Who it is for: athletes who put a lot of demand on their joints, active profiles and people mindful of their structural capital. Collagen is best taken as a regular course. Worth knowing: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation by the body.

For those aiming for a leaner shape alongside a diet and physical activity, the range brings together several options: fat burners such as the Fat Burner, the Day Burner and the Night Burner (vegan) or CLA, L-Carnitine in capsules or as a concentrated liquid, plus formulas designed with women in mind such as Lipitek and Waterless.

Keep in mind: no supplement makes you lose weight on its own. These products support a calorie deficit and exercise. They do not replace them, and they are neither a promise of results nor a treatment.

How to choose your supplement well:

• Start from your goal (daily foundation, defences, vitality, joints, body composition)
• Check the composition and the dosage of the active ingredients on the label
• Favour a transparent brand: QNT is a Belgian brand, made in Belgium manufacturing

When and how to take them:

• Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and omega 3: with a meal containing fat
• Multivitamins, vitamin C, energy complexes: rather in the morning
• Magnesium and relaxation formulas: rather in the evening

Work in courses, respect the stated doses, and ask a healthcare professional for advice in case of treatment, pregnancy or breastfeeding.
