The journey began in 2018 when Louise Lagendijk M.D., a former Harvard researcher and medical doctor, launched her successful women's practice, introducing a novel perspective on the healthcare system with a focus on prevention before intervention. Through years of practice, Drs. Lagendijk observed vitamin gaps in the dietary patterns of the current generation. In response to challenges in swallowing supplements, THE CORE introduces a transformative approach to vitamin intake after extensive research and development. The AM + PM - THE ESSENTIALS, a duo set, marks the development of the world's first refillable supplement sprays developed in a lab based in The Netherlands known for their commitment to quality, research, and innovation.

Natural flavorings must come from a natural source and be obtained using a natural process, such as boiling, steaming, or fermentation.

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, plays a role in various processes within the body. The functioning of the nervous system, synthesis of fatty acids, production of red blood cells, and the immune system may encounter issues in the presence of a Vitamin B12 deficiency. We obtain Vitamin B12 through our diet, primarily from the consumption of animal products such as meats, eggs, fish, and dairy. Approximately 50% of the Vitamin B12 intake is absorbed by the body, with the liver storing 2 to 5 milligrams as a reserve.
A deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to various symptoms, including:
- Fatigue
- Concentration difficulties
- Irritability
- Muscle pain
- Muscle cramps
- Loss of appetite
- Tingling sensations
- Joint issues
- Anemia due to a shortage of red blood cells
A healthy Vitamin D level is crucial for the immune system, the absorption of calcium from food, and the proper functioning of muscles.
A deficiency in Vitamin D can manifest in the following symptoms:
- Chronic fatigue
- Joint and muscle pain
- Lethargy
- Sensitive or bleeding gums
- Cramps or muscle tremors
- Prolonged deficiency in older individuals may lead to osteoporosis or muscle weakness
The severity of symptoms can vary, and they may not always be present. -
Vegetarians and vegans face an increased risk of B12 deficiency due to limited or lack of intake of animal-based foods, and in such cases, supplementation with B12 may be recommended. A deficiency in B12 is also common among the elderly. This is often attributed to a decrease in stomach acid production as one ages, preventing proper dissociation of Vitamin B12 from protein. Additionally, gastrointestinal infections such as Crohn's disease can lead to reduced B12 absorption due to impaired intrinsic factor function. Certain medications, such as acid-suppressing drugs, may also hinder the effective absorption of Vitamin B12 in the body.
-
After completing and returning your Vitamin B12 & D deficiency test, you will receive the results through a secure message. This report provides additional information about Vitamin B12 & D and explains your test results. Based on the results, you will also receive personalized advice for maintaining or improving your Vitamin B12 & D levels.
-
Presently, the Vitamin B12 & D deficiency blood test is exclusively available for residents residing in the Netherlands. Consequently, the results are exclusively communicated in Dutch. If you are an English speaker residing in the Netherlands, you are welcome to translate the results at your convenience.
-
