Omega-3 High24%

0.4 g a serve, mostly from crushed walnuts (88%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Show the other 14
Selenium9%

5.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (63%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Iron7%

1.3 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free chocolate chips (50%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Magnesium6%

27 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free chocolate chips (31%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Zinc6%

0.7 mg a serve. Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Vitamin B125%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (98%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Vitamin B64%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened coconut flakes (34%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin A3%

30 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (73%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Folate3%

14 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (61%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Potassium2%

110 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened coconut flakes (42%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Vitamin D2%

0.3 µg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (95%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin E2%

0.3 mg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (50%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Calcium1%

19 mg a serve, mostly from egg yolks (38%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Vitamin C0%

0.2 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened coconut flakes (58%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Vitamin K0%

0.4 µg a serve, mostly from crushed pecans (33%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
