What does “vitamins” tell you?

Vitamins are included among the ingredient categories in ÉLAN. The word describes a group of compounds, not one ingredient with one universal effect.

To make a useful technical statement, the actual compounds and their amounts have to be identified.

Start with the plant

Plants have their own metabolic processes and can synthesise many compounds that people know as vitamins. A role in human nutrition does not automatically establish a reason to add the same compound to a plant product.

When comparing products, look for the named compounds, their amounts and the evidence for that use. A category list alone does not let you compare one formula with another.

What we look for

We look for a defined composition and a clear reason for inclusion. We also consider how an ingredient behaves during storage and alongside the rest of the formulation.

The number of vitamins on a marketing list is not a measure of how a grow will perform.

Where you will meet them

ÉLAN combines vitamins with its other documented ingredient categories. Its product page explains the overall role; contact us for the current technical information when you need more detail about the formulation.
