Make the change with Burgen

18 March 2011

Vitamin D has become the new hot topic of the media world,with recent reports highlighting a risk of insufficient levels in the UK population. Most of our vitamin D is obtained by the action of the sun on our skin but increased use of sunscreen has resulted in reduced levels over the last few years. 

Only a few foods provide an alternative source of this valuable vitamin, such as oily fish and eggs.  But, for an easier solution, Burgen has launched its NEWBuckwheat & Poppy Seedbread fortified with vitamin D. Two slices provide 30% of your calcium and vitamin D recommended daily allowance (RDA). 

Bringing together some of nature's tastiest, nutritious ingredients, Burgen has created a deliciously tasty loaf that is packed full of natural seeds and grains.  Each loaf contains a blend of Buckwheat, a good source of vitamins and minerals, and Poppy Seeds - a rich source of calcium, which is essential for healthy bones and teeth. Great for sandwiches, as toast or a snack, Burgen's new Buckwheat & Poppy Seed is the perfect addition to your bread board. 

Also in the Burgen range is Soya & Linseed, the ideal bread option for those following a low GI diet.  High in calcium and fibre, two slices of Soya & Linseed bread for breakfast will help you feel fuller for longer by steadying your blood sugar levels through the day.  Soya and linseeds are also a rich source of plant oestrogens, which are beneficial to women's health. 

So, for those looking to boost their long-term health and wellbeing, choose Burgen - it will feed your hunger for a healthier lifestyle.
