Blast from the past! ~ Shaun appeared on the program before to talk about his second film, Unity, and his evolution as an activist. Here’s the link to that episode on Unity Online Radio.
A shoutout to our sponsor, Complement. Developed by vegan dietitian Dr. Pamela Fergusson, and the NoMeat Athlete, Matt Frazier, Complement enables you to get your vitamin B12, vitamin D3, and the essential Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA) in a totally vegan form that you just spray into your mouth once a day and know that your already great diet now has the full complement of essential nutrients. Click here for more info and to order. Use the code MAINSTREETVEGAN for a 10% discount.
And now the good folks of Complement have a new product: Complement Plus. While everyone agrees that B12, vitamin D3, and the essential Omega 3 fatty acids are nutrients people eating plant-based diets (and a lot of other people besides) should not overlook, there are some other nutrients that it’s also easy to be short on, even with a well-chosen diet. To tackle this, Fergusson and Frazier joined forces with Joel Kahn, MD, and together developed Complement Plus, a supplement in tablet form that includes all the nutrients in Complement spray, along with zinc, iodine, selenium, and vitamin K2. Essential for blood clotting, healthy bones, and heart health, the only plant-food source of vitamin K2 is natto, an obscure, fermented soy food and one that is definitely an acquired taste (and smell). To get Complement Plus at a discount, simply go to www.alpineorganics.co (where you can order regular Complement, as well), but this time your discount code will be MAINSTREETVEGAN+.
In addition, the good people of Complement (their company is Alpine Organics) have now joined forces with Joel Kahn, MD, to create a new product: Complement Plus. These are all-vegan capsules containing everything you’ll find in Complement spray, as well as some other nutrients that your diet could be shy on: iodine, selenium, zinc, and vitamin K-2, the bone-boosting vitamin whose only vegetarian food source is natto, a fermented soy product with a taste and smell that most people do not find appealing. You can go to the same website — www.alpineorganics.co — for both products, and MAINSTREETVEGAN in the discount box will save you money on your purchase of either.
