In a quiet village in Devon, UK, a pair of identical twins may have just delivered one of the most fascinating real-world nutrition experiments of the year. Ross and Hugo Turner, adventurers turned human guinea pigs, have long pushed the limits of health science through their diet and fitness trials. A report from Daily Mail recorded their latest escapade — a six-month deep dive into the power of plant-based vs. animal-derived supplements — has yielded results that could shake up your supplement shelf.
Same DNA, Different Vitamins
For half a year, the 36-year-old twins followed nearly identical lifestyles — same meals, same workouts, same sleep routines. But there was one key difference. Hugo took vegan supplements, crafted from sources like sea algae and plant-based Omega-3 oils. Ross, on the other hand, consumed traditional animal-based vitamins.
The outcome? Hugo's blood was practically glowing with nutrients. His levels of critical vitamins — especially D3 and Omega-3 fatty acids — soared past Ross’s, suggesting the plant-based versions weren’t just holding their own, they were outperforming the expected standard.
