Our food scientist, nutritionist and botanicals team collaborate to masterfully blend our potent ingredients to create formulas with targeted health benefits and delicious award-winning flavours.
Ashwagandha
Also known as Indian ginseng this botanical is native to North Africa and India. It has been used for over 3000 years as one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine.
The Sanskrit translation of ashwagandha is ‘smell of the horse’ which refers to its ancient belief of supporting energy, endurance and strength.
In the West, ashwagandha is known as an adaptogen which helps build resilience to stress. These benefits are thought to be attributed to bioactive compounds naturally present in ashwagandha called withanolides.
As for taste, ashwagandha has a sweet, nutty, malty taste which adds a real comfort factor. It is one of our favourites and you can find organic ashwagandha in our Coffee + Collagen, Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi blends.
Baobab
Originating in Africa, the baobab tree produces a hard fruit with a shell like coconut which is full of nutritious pulp. Baobab is an exceptional unique fruit with the ability to naturally dehydrate while still on the branch.
Requiring no heat or pasteurisation its properties remain intact meaning baobab powder is unusually nutrient dense, bursting with vitamin C (three times that of an orange) and nearly 50% fibre.
Our organic baobab has a delicate slightly sweet and tangy flavour and adds a creamy texture to our Coffee + Collagen, Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi
Beetroot
Beautiful deep pink in colour and rich in earthy beet flavours this incredible ingredient captured our hearts a long time ago. The nutrients found in beetroot include folate, vitamin C, manganese, potassium, fibre and several beneficial plant compounds such as the deep red plant pigment called betanin.
Beetroot also provides a natural source of inorganic nitrates which the body may convert into nitric oxide which supports the mechanisms involved with blood pressure balance.
We use an intensely delicious organic beetroot powder which adds depth, richness and velvety texture to our Cacao + Collagen, Radiant Collagyn and Cacao + Reishi blends.
Boswellia
Across centuries, Boswellia serrata, has stood as a cornerstone of healing in Ayurvedic medicine, often referred to as Indian Frankincense. This aromatic ingredient is also found in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Middle Eastern healing traditions.
Boswellia serrata is the resin of the hardy boswellia tree, found mainly in the dry rocky parts of the Indian and African subcontinent. Farmers of this plant make cuts into the bark to produce ‘tears’ of aromatic resin.
Rich in boswellic acids, Boswellia serrata is best known for its ability to modulate and reduce the inflammatory response, making it a useful tool against inflammation related to conditions like joint pain, arthritis, asthma, and even some inflammatory gut conditions.
In recent decades, scientific research has further illuminated the multifaceted benefits of Boswellia in supporting the immune system on multiple levels. For this reason you can find boswellia serrata in our Noble Collagen formulation to support joint health.
Brown Rice Protein
Rice protein is a great source of gluten-free, dairy-free, low carb and low fat protein which contains a wide range of amino acids and essential amino acids.
For those focusing on body conditioning, protein powders are likely to become a key part of your fitness strategy and if you’re following a plant-based diet then a daily source of essential amino acids is key for vegan wellbeing.
Our rice protein comes from wholegrain rice and has a very mild, nutty, naturally sweet flavour. We combine rice, pea and chickpea proteins in our Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn for a more complete protein package.
Calcium Malate
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and almost 99 percent of the body’s calcium is stored in the structure of the bones and teeth.This essential mineral is needed for so much more than bone health, though. A key electrolyte for optimal hydration, it is also needed for nerve communication, blood clotting, hormone secretion and muscle contraction. The truth is, though, many of us aren’t eating enough foods high in calcium. Our calcium malate is a highly bioavailable form of calcium that is much better absorbed than other forms, such as calcium carbonate.
You can find this key electrolyte in our True Hydration formulation.
Carob
Carob is a tropical, evergreen flowering shrub with pods that look like dark brown pea pods. These contain a naturally sweet edible pulp that tastes like chocolate!
The ancient Greeks were the first to cultivate carob trees and they are now grown all over the world from India to Australia.
Carob contains an impressive collection of nutrients including fibre, calcium (twice as much compared to cocoa), iron, potassium, manganese, magnesium, gallic acid and pectin.
Unlike cacao, carob is caffeine-free and incredibly sweet and adds a real touch of luxury to our Coffee + Collagen, Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi
Chickpea Protein
One of the main ingredients found in all three of our vegan Collagyn range is a new chickpea protein powder that’s incredibly nutritious.
When it comes to vegan and plant-based nutrition, chickpeas provide a wide range of amnio acids including essential amino acids which are often hard to find on a predominately plant diet.
With plant-based nutrition in mind, we combine this chickpea protein powder with brown rice and pea protein powders to provide a more comprehensive range of amino acids.
This chickpea protein provides a milky and creamy in texture to our vegan Collagyn blends and you can find this innovative protein powder in our Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn.
Chicory Root Inulin
Soluble fibre is an important food source for the diverse numbers of friendly microbes that naturally reside in the gut microbiome.
Our organic inulin is sourced form chicory root and has a light, sweet and subtle malty flavour that helps satisfy those afternoon sweet tooth cravings.
Also, being a source of fibre, inulin also helps to keep you feeling fuller for longer – so it’s a win-win ingredient!
We believe that healthy digestion is fundamental to general health and wellbeing which is why we’ve included a source of soluble fibre in our Naked Collagyn, Radiant Collagyn and Cacao + Reishi
Choline
Similar to vitamin D, a nutrient called choline is hard to obtain through a plant-based diet which is why many health organisations are promoting vegan awareness for the risk of choline deficiency.
Studies indicate that this nutrient is important for neurotransmitter balance, cardiovascular health and the maintenance of normal liver function.
To help support daily wellbeing for those of you following a plant-based diet we’ve included a form of vegan choline (L-Choline Bitartrate) in our Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn.
Chromium Picolinate
This trace mineral is less well known, but incredibly important: from benefits to blood sugar control, nutrient metabolism, stabilising energy, heart health, weight management and brain health. Research also shows that chromium can help protect DNA chromosomes from damage and is associated with longevity. Our form pairs chromium with picolinic acid which is more easily absorbed than other forms.
Find this potent mineral in our True Hydration formula, created to support optimal hydration and energy.
Cinnamon
Originating from Indonesia and China, cinnamon is a tree bark and has been important both as a culinary spice and as an Ayurvedic botanical for centuries.
Researchers are uncovering how this aromatic spice may help support the mechanism that help regulate blood sugar balance and its natural sweetness helps reduce the need for added sugar.
There is something incredibly comforting about the naturally sweet flavour and aroma of this beautiful spice and for this reason, we’ve included our beautiful organic cinnamon to Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi
Cocoa
Cocoa originates from South America and was used by the Mayans for ceremonial rituals and health purposes.
Harvested from the cacao fruit tree, also known as Theobroma Cacao, cocoa is high in fibre, polyphenols, iron and magnesium and also contains phenylethylamine and theobromines which may have mood enhancing properties.
Cocoa beans are crushed, the fat or cocoa butter is removed, the beans are roasted and ground to create a deep, rich, intense, chocolaty, slightly bitter, slightly sweet flavour.
We pride ourselves in sourcing the best quality organic cocoa for our Cacao + Collagen and it’s so good we couldn’t resist adding a touch to our Coffee + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi
Coconut water powder
The refreshing water from coconuts has been enjoyed for centuries in tropical countries where it is revered for treating a variety of health-related ailments. In fact in Sanskrit, coconuts are called “kalpa vriksha,” meaning the “tree which gives all that is necessary for living.” Coconut water is best known as a natural source of electrolytes including potassium, calcium and magnesium, alongside Vitamin C. Our delicious coconut water powder has been expertly sourced to ensure the highest purity.
Find our pure coconut water powder as a vital ingredient in our intelligent electrolyte formulation; True Hydration.
Collagen Specific Amino Acids
Collagen is an important structural protein providing strength and integrity to numerous body tissues including skin, bones, cartilage, blood vessel walls, ligaments, tendons and connective tissues.
There are many different types of collagen all formed around 17 different amino acids with the main composition of collagen being formed from five key amino acids - glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, arginine and alanine.
We’ve formulated our Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn with vegan and naturally fermented forms of these key amino acids.
Creatine
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found mostly in various cells including our muscle cells and brain, and is renowned for enhancing physical performance. In the diet, it is found in animal products, making this a particularly important nutrient for those who follow a plant based diet.
Creatine plays a crucial role in producing energy especially during exercise and other physical activity. By replenishing your body’s ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores, creatine provides that extra boost of energy needed, enabling you to push through those last few reps or go the extra mile and enjoy moving and challenging your body.
While it's often associated with muscle cells, creatine also benefits other tissues, particularly those tissues which have a high demand for energy including the brain and immune system. Your body produces some creatine naturally, and you can also get it from certain foods like red meat and seafood. The most effective way to increase our creatine stores is via supplementation, especially as it decreases with age.
Ginger Root
Native to south-east Asia, ginger has been used a powerful botanical in Ayurvedic medicine for years.
The health benefits of ginger are mainly attributed to a natural compound called gingerols present in the oily resin found in the root.
Ginger is also helpful for easing nausea associated with travel and morning sickness and it bring a gentle level of chilli style heat to our Inspired Collagyn.
Ginger also delivers a beautiful complex aromatic flavour that compliments cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric and black pepper in our Inspired Collagyn.
Glucosamine Sulphate
High impact sports and day-to-day living contribute wear and tear to the spongy cartilage cushions which act as shock absorbers in our joints.
Regardless of whether you’re an endurance athlete, fitness warrior, countryside stroller or a yoga/pilates fanatic, we all need to look after our joints to help maintain our movement and flexibility, as the decades role by.
We’ve cushioned our Naked Collagyn formula with therapeutic levels of glucosamine sulphate, from a naturally fermented source that’s suitable for vegans.
Haskap Berry
This tangy blue berry is native to the Northern Hemisphere and thrives in countries such as Japan, Siberia, Kamchatka, Poland and Eastern Europe.
With a nutritional profile that includes vitamin C, iridoids, cholorogenic acid, quercetin, luteolin and levels of polyphenols (including anthocyanins) far higher than other well-known berries. These nutrients work synergistically to help protect cells from the harmful effects of oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
Nicknamed the ‘berry of longevity’ we’ve proudly added this tasty newcomer to our pretty pink Radiant Collagyn.
Hops
Hops are the flowering tops of Humulus lupulus, and has been used medicinally for more than 2,000 years. Modern research is now looking at the malty hops flower to help improve sleep, relaxation, metabolic health and hormone balance. As well as boasting high antioxidant flavonoids, hops is also known as a potent phytoestrogen, and may go some way in supporting those on the peri-menopause journey and beyond.
You can find our calming organic hops in our Cacao + Reishi blend, formulated for your Rest Rituals.
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides
Collagen provides strength and integrity to the structural protein matrix found in skin, bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage.
Collagen loss is a natural part of ageing which occurs from our 30’s and increase as we grow older. Our hydrolysed collagen peptides are a specific size (under 5000DA’s) for maximum absorption and efficient integration into targeted cells.
Sourced from grass-fed herds in the EU and found pre-blended in our delicious brews of Coffee + Collagen, Matcha + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen or as our odourless, tasteless, highly dissolvable True Collagen to add to your own drinks.
L-Glycine
L-Glycine is both an amino acid and neurotransmitter. This means that in the body it forms proteins and plays a role in the levels of hormones in the brain.
It is widely considered to be one of the most important amino acids for the body, and thus we have high requirements for it. Whilst the body can produce glycine on its own, incorporating it into our diet can yield numerous benefits. It is used in various muscle, metabolic and cognitive functions.
Approximately 80% of the body’s glycine is used for protein synthesis, contributing to the formation of several important protein structures, including collagen. Glycine is also essential for the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.
L-Glycine is thought to have soothing effects on the central nervous system, helping to improve sleep quality as a result.
For these reasons, you will find this nutrient incorporated into our intelligent formulas, True Nightcap and Radiant Collagyn.
Lions Mane
This incredible functional mushroom has long been used in ancient cultures, including Traditional Chinese Medicine to nourish your vital energy or “Qi’ thanks to it’s powerful antioxidant properties. Now widely studied for its cognitive benefits, managing stress, balancing mood and supporting your natural immune defences, we love this nootropic. Our finely milled lion’s mane mushroom powder is certified organic with absolutely no preservatives or additives. Our mushrooms are expertly grown indoors in temperature-controlled greenhouses to ensure the plants absorb no pollution and remain pure. We always ensure we use 100% fruiting body for a full spectrum of nutrients.
You can find our Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom in our Matcha + Collagen blend, created to help bring you focus in your Rise Ritual.
Manganese
Manganese is a trace mineral that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in the body. As well as serving as a cofactor for many enzymes involved in antioxidant defense, it’s also key for bone formation, and connective tissue health.
Manganese is naturally found in foods, including nuts, seeds, whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and legumes. You’ll also find it in our Noble Collagen capsule to support and target joint health.
Marine magnesium
Few compounds are more important to overall health than the mineral magnesium. Magnesium is essential for human health and optimal function. It’s involved in over 700 enzymatic reactions, energy production, nerve function and glucose regulation, plays an important role in bone & muscle health and is required to synthesize DNA and RNA —the building blocks of life. Yet many studies show that the majority of the population don’t get enough of this crucial nutrient. Our Magnesium citrate is derived from a natural mineral source of marine origin and crucially is a soluble highly bioactive source of magnesium, easily absorbed and pure.
You can find this multifunctional marine Magnesium in our True Hydration and True Nightcap formulations.
Matcha
Matcha, derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, the same plant used to produce green tea, is grown and harvested in a way that leaves it enriched with powerful antioxidants and other health-promoting nutrients like Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Matcha offers a natural and clean caffeine source, without the jitters due to its rich content of L-theanine, an amino acid that provides a sense of calm against the stimulating effects of caffeine on the body's nervous system. Research has shown that the L-theanine in matcha works synergistically with caffeine, promoting a feeling of relaxation and mental clarity, helping to foster a state of tranquillity and alertness. Drinking matcha tea can also promote and protect collagen synthesis in the skin.
Find our Organic Matcha in our nourishing Matcha + Collagen blend, created for the perfect Rise Ritual.
MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides)
MCT’s are readily utilised for cellular energy production and easily convert into ketones which may provide an alternative energy source for brain cells.
Rest assured our True MCT oil is sustainably sourced 100% from coconuts, never from palm oil, and is extracted using pure steamed distillation and gentle hydrolysis to contain C8 (60%) and C10 (40%).
A clear, odourless, and tasteless oil to easily fuel-up your day. A popular Brave Recipe is the morning ritual of adding True MCT to your morning coffee (or tea) for an invigorating start to the day.

You can find our bright moringa powder in our delicious Matcha + Collagen blend, created for the perfect morning Rise Ritual.
MSM
This nutraceutical ingredient is officially called Methyl Sulphonyl Methane a technical name for a naturally occurring form of sulphur.
Although there are many synthetic forms of this nutraceutical made from petroleum sources, we only ever use a unique plant-derived form of MSM which is extracted from corn. Sulphur provides cross-links (strong bonds) to structural proteins including keratin and collagen, contributing strength, integrity, flexibility and elasticity to areas of the body where these proteins are found – muscles, bones, connective tissue, hair, skin, nails, and cartilage.
You can find our plant-derived MSM in our vegan Naked Collagyn designed for sporty and active lifestyles.
Myo-Inositol
Sometimes referred to as Vitamin B8, this simple compound is quickly broken down to be used as an energy source in the body without causing a spike in blood sugar. Inositol is essential in the process of building cell membranes and is a “secondary messenger” in your central nervous system, known to increase the impact of neurotransmitters in your brain supporting mood health. Myo-inositol is also studied for increasing insulin sensitivity, supporting our bodies natural energy balance and has been shown to impact circadian rhythms which may help to regulate sleep.
Find this intelligent compound in our True Nightcap formulation.
Pea Protein
Pea protein is sourced from yellow split peas which have been cultivated for food for thousands of years.
We use a special 80% pea protein which removes more of the fats and carbs in order to provide a concentrate diverse range of amino acids found in this plant protein.
We choose this source of protein over whey or soy proteins due to health (both are common allergens) and environmental reasons.
Combining pea protein with our brown rice and chickpea protein gives a more comprehensive amnio acids profile for our Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn.
Pink Himalayan Salt
Protected from modern day pollution by snow and ice, Himalayan pink salt has been preserved in an untouched, pristine environment and is considered the purest salt on the earth.
Whereas salt simply provides sodium, Himalayan salt contains a full set of electrolyte minerals (calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium) and an impressive collection of 84 trace minerals and elements. The minerals in this salt exist in colloidal form, which means that they are small enough to be quickly and easily absorbed.
You’ll find a flavour enhancing pinch of our pristine pink Himalayan salt in our Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi.
Potassium: TriPotassium Citrate
Potassium is a key mineral in the body playing major roles across the systems; from maintaining the water content of cells, influencing blood pressure levels, communication of nerve cells, optimal detoxification and glycogen storage in muscles. Our potassium citrate has been carefully selected for it’s purity and high bioavailability.
You can find our highly bioavailable TriPotassium Citrate in our electrolyte formula, True Hydration.
Raspberry
We’ve taste tested numerous sources of raspberry powders from all corners of the world and discovered that our organic freeze-dried raspberry powder is simply exceptional.
Whereas most raspberry powders are either full of natural sweetness or packed with tangy raspberry tartness, our carefully sourced and treasured raspberry powder is full bodied and beautifully balanced.
We use the whole fruit rather than just a juice powder, so you all of the nutrients found in the whole berry – fibre, anthocyanins, quercetin, ellagic acid, catechins and of course the real skin hero - vitamin C.
This stunning organic ingredient, with equally balanced sweetness and tanginess takes centre stage in our Radiant Collagyn.
Raw Cacao
Whereas cocoa is made using a fermentation process drying, roasting and then milling cacao beans into a fine powder - raw cacao is made from unprocessed and unroasted cacao powder.
This gives raw cacao a subtle chocolate flavour and an improved nutrition profile since many of the natural phytonutrients, enzymes and vitamins found naturally in the cacao bean may be lost during the roasting process.
You’ll find organic raw cacao in our Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi where it imparts a rich, smooth chocolate flavour.
Reishi
Known as ‘The Mushroom of Immortality’, Reshi has been used in traditional medicine practices for millenia. In Traditional Chinese medicine, Reshi is considered a ‘Shen Tonic’, used for restoring emotional balance, calm and consciousness. As such it has been studied as an incredible support to help wind down and improve sleep.Thanks to the naturally occurring active compounds such as beta-glucan polysaccharides and triterpenes found in Reishi, this mushroom has been found to be adaptogenic, aid cardiovascular health, support hormonal balance, and natural immune function. These powerful triterpenes are also what accounts for the bitter taste in reishi and is therefore is a good indicator of quality. Our Reishi Mushroom is 100% fruiting body and grown in controlled organic conditions to ensure purity.
You can find our Organic Reishi Mushroom in our Cacao + Reishi Blend, formulated for your Rest Rituals.
Roasted Chicory Root
Chicory root has been used as far back as Ancient Rome for its wealth of health benefits. Once roasted the root takes on a dark, intense and roasted flavour which compliments and naturally enhances the flavour of ingredients such as coffee and cacao.
Chicory root has a very high concentration of a soluble dietary fibre called inulin, (one of the highest known in plants), which helps support digestive function, gut microbiome and contributes to a feeling of fullness.
Our organic roasted chicory root with its slightly bitter and nutty flavour is a real hero ingredient in Coffee + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen.
Rosehip Berry Powder
Long used in traditional Chinese medicine, skin experts have also been proclaiming the beauty benefits of this bright red autumn berry for decades - and with good reason!
Rosehips are a naturally great source of vitamin C which is why this berry has a reputation for nurturing your skin from within.
Our organic rosehip berry powder has a delicate hint of floral flavour with a malty undertone and provides a tangy fruity flavour which complements the raspberry and haskap berries in our Radiant Collagyn.
Santos Brazilian Coffee
The Santos Brazilian Arabica coffee beans are the most renowned coffee beans in Brazil and they’re considered a direct descendant of the original coffee plants imported into Brazil.
We use high-grade organic coffee beans which imparts a fuller and fruitier flavour.
These beans have gone through a natural, unwashed process which allows fermentation of the pulp on the bean during drying and we source batches with low mycotoxins.

These pristine waters are carefully monitored and managed, with exclusive harvesting rights from the Crown Estate.
The harvested seaweed is carefully dried, gently processed and milled into a nutritious, flavourless ingredient containing a variety of minerals including iodine to help support normal cognitive, thyroid, nervous system and skin function and contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Packed full of iodine to offer 100% of your daily recommended you can find this hero ingredient in our Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn.
Taurine
Known as a ‘longevity’ amino acid, Taurine plays a vital role in various bodily functions. Known for its antioxidant properties, taurine supports cardiovascular health and enhances physical performance by reducing muscle fatigue and improving endurance.
Additionally, taurine promotes optimal brain function, helping to elevate mental clarity and focus. Taurine also plays a role in electrolyte balance, making it an essential supplement for those looking to optimise their physical and mental well-being.
Taurine is found naturally in meat and seafood. As we age, our bodies produce less taurine, making supplementation vital for sustaining vitality and longevity.
Type II Collagen
Undenatured Type II collagen is a form of collagen extracted from chicken sternum cartilage in a way that preserves its natural structure. Unlike hydrolysed collagen peptides, where the collagen molecule is broken down into smaller peptides for the body to absorb, undenatured type II collagen maintains its integrity.
This innovative and intelligent ingredient contains bioactive components which specifically support cartilage and joint function. Its intact structure allows it to signal the body's immune system, supporting cartilage repair. Undenatured Type II collagen only requires a small dose of 40mg for efficacy, which is why you’ll find it in our Noble Collagen in an easy one-a-day capsule form.
Vegan Vitamin D
Vitamin D is made by skin cells when exposed to sunlight but national studies across many European countries, indicate that deficiencies in vitamin D are commonplace.
Vitamin D is naturally found in meat, fish and dairy products making this vitamin hard to find when following a plant-based diet.
This vital vitamin is important for supporting normal bone health, immune and muscle function.
We’ve included a vegan certified form of vitamin D3, sourced from algae, in our Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn.
Vitamin C
Not all vitamin C’s are created equal. The most common version of vitamin C, called ascorbic acid, has a very low absorption rate and often triggers digestive disturbance.
So we formulate our products with a gentle on the gut, buffered form of vitamin C called magnesium ascorbate which has far superior absorption than standard ascorbic acid.
Magnesium ascorbate is one of our most important ingredients in terms of health benefits, daily wellbeing, collagen renewal and supporting skin cell protection.
You can find a generous 250mg (280% of your daily recommended dose) in each serving of our Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn.

White Tea Extract
White tea retains the highest level of polyphenols and catechins including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) compared to green and black tea.
Skin ageing occurs due to internal and external factors which damage skin cells, disrupt elastin and collagen and affect skin tone and elasticity.
The bioactive compounds present in white tea help protect skin cells from the harmful effects of oxidative stress generated by free radicals, UV rays and common pollutants.
Our white tea extract contains 40% polyphenols and is included in beauty formulas Naked Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn.
Hero Ingredients
Wild Harvested Hebridean Seaweed
Our organic Hebridean seaweed is sustainably wild-harvested around the remote islands of the Scottish Outer Hebrides. These pristine waters are carefully monitored and managed, with exclusive harvesting rights from the Crown Estate. The harvested seaweed is carefully dried, gently processed and milled into a nutritious, flavourless ingredient which provides a variety of minerals and an impressive collection of health benefits for mind, mood and metabolism. This sustainably produced extract has full traceability from sea to shore and each batch is DNA tested to ensure authentication and transparent traceability.
Research shows us that as far back as 2.5million years ago our early ancestors were consuming seaweed as part of their diet. Interestingly it was around this time that primitive man evolved into intelligent modern Homo sapiens. It’s believed by some experts that the nutrients available in seaweed contributed to this evolutionary step, since seaweed provides a rich source of iodine, essential for brain development. Fast track to modern times and we now call nutrients which influence brain chemistry and brain function nooptropics.
Food science has also linked iodine as an important nutrient for supporting thyroid health, energy-yielding metabolism, the nervous system and normal skin function.
Packed full of iodine to offer 100% of your daily recommended amount, you can find this hero ingredient in our Naked Collagyn, Inspired Collagyn and Radiant Collagyn.
MCT – from Coconuts
Tucked away in the 90% portion of saturated fat found in coconut oil are seven different types of triglycerides which fall into two categories - long chain or medium chain triglycerides (MCT). Research indicates that long chain triglycerides are more problematic for our health since they tend to get stored as fat. Medium chain triglycerides however are absorbed into the bloodstream and get quickly escorted to the liver where they are metabolised into ketones.
Coconut oil contains four types of medium chain triglycerides - C8 and C10 which are readily converted into ketones, C6 doesn’t taste very nice and C12 behaves more like a long chain triglyceride. Our MCT oil provides 60% caprylic acid (C8) and 40% capric acid (C10), extracted using pure steamed distillation and gentle hydrolysis without the use of solvents or chemicals.
Our cells usually burn glucose (sugar) as a source of fuel to generate energy. However, when glucose levels fall short, ketones provide an instant alternative fuel. This is why MCT oil is popular amongst athletes, body builders and those following low carb or ketogenic diets and active lifestyles.
The exciting discovery is that like glucose, ketones also cross the blood-brain barrier and may be utilised by brain cells as a source of fuel.
Our True MCT couldn’t be easier to use. It’s a beautifully pure, crystal clear, odourless, and flavourless oil that’s ready to fuel-up your day. Naked Collagyn also contains MCT oil powder.
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides
Collagen provides structure to the skin, hair, bones, blood vessel walls, ligaments, tendons, cartilage and connective tissue, so you can’t underestimate the importance of this incredible protein. Past the age of 30 our ability to replenish collagen naturally diminishes and this decline greatly accelerates after the menopause. Researchers have identified 28 different types of collagen yet over 90% of the collagen found in your body is Type I.
Collagen is composed of 18 amino acids, organised into long chains polypeptides, tightly coiled into a ‘triple helix’ to create incredibly strong, flexible and tensile collagen fibres. But collagen is too big to cross the gut wall and hard work for the digestive juices to break down into units small enough to get absorbed.
Our bovine Type 1 hydrolysed collagen peptides are already broken down into tripeptides and dipeptides all below 5000 Daltons - the molecular size small enough to be readily absorbed across the gut wall, into the bloodstream and on to target cells.
Odourless, tasteless and water soluble, add to any drink, smoothie, broth, soup or stew. Essential for beauty rituals and physical wellbeing this hero ingredient can be found in True Collagen, Coffee + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen.
