Magnesium
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body. It plays vital roles in protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and energy metabolism. This mineral is particularly important for cardiovascular health, bone formation, and stress management.
Vitamin D
Cholecalciferol
Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that functions as a hormone in the body. It plays crucial roles in calcium absorption, bone health, immune function, and cellular growth regulation. Often called the "sunshine vitamin," it can be synthesized by the skin when exposed to UVB radiation.
Collagen (Hydrolyzed)
Collagen Types I & III
The most abundant protein in the body, providing structure to skin, bones, tendons, and connective tissue. Hydrolyzed collagen (collagen peptides) is broken down for optimal absorption. Supports skin elasticity, joint health, bone density, and gut lining integrity.
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is naturally occurring compound that enhances ATP production, supporting muscle strength, power output, and cognitive function. One of the most researched supplements.
Melatonin
N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine
Natural hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles
Multivitamin
A comprehensive supplement containing multiple vitamins and minerals to support overall health and fill nutritional gaps.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential polyunsaturated fats that the body cannot produce on its own. The two most important types are EPA and DHA, primarily found in fatty fish and fish oil supplements. These fats are crucial for brain function, heart health, and inflammation regulation.
Probiotics
Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species
Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. These beneficial bacteria support digestive health, immune function, and may influence mood and cognitive function through the gut-brain axis.
Vitamin C
Ascorbic acid
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and powerful antioxidant essential for immune function, collagen synthesis, and iron absorption. Unlike most animals, humans cannot produce vitamin C and must obtain it from dietary sources or supplements.
Zinc
Zinc
Zinc is an essential trace mineral that plays crucial roles in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. It supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence and is required for proper sense of taste and smell.
Ashwagandha
Withania somnifera
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. It helps the body manage stress by modulating cortisol levels and supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Modern research confirms its benefits for stress reduction, anxiety, and overall vitality.
Biotin (Vitamin B7)
Biotin
Biotin is essential for carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. It supports healthy hair, skin, and nails, and plays a role in gene regulation.
Calcium
Calcium carbonate/citrate
Essential mineral for bone health, muscle function, and nerve transmission
Folate (Vitamin B9)
L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate
Folate is crucial for DNA synthesis, cell division, and neural tube development during pregnancy. The active methylfolate form bypasses genetic variations in folate metabolism.
Iron
Iron
Iron is an essential mineral primarily responsible for oxygen transport throughout the body as a component of hemoglobin and myoglobin. It also plays crucial roles in energy metabolism, immune function, and cognitive development.
Turmeric
Curcuma longa
Turmeric is a bright yellow spice containing curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound. Used for centuries in traditional medicine, modern research confirms its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it valuable for joint health, cognitive function, and overall wellness.
Vitamin B12
Cobalamin (methylcobalamin, cyanocobalamin)
An essential water-soluble vitamin required for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. Absorption depends on stomach acid and intrinsic factor, so deficiency is common in older adults, vegans, and people on metformin or proton pump inhibitors.
Whey Protein
Whey protein
Whey is the soluble fraction of milk protein, rich in leucine and rapidly absorbed. It maximises the acute muscle protein synthesis response to a feeding.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Acetic acid (Malus domestica vinegar)
Apple cider vinegar is a fermented product whose active constituent is acetic acid. Its one reproducible effect is slowing gastric emptying and reducing post-prandial glucose excursions.
B-Complex Vitamins
B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12
B-complex vitamins are a group of eight water-soluble vitamins that play essential roles in energy metabolism, nervous system function, and red blood cell formation. They work synergistically to support cellular energy production and neurotransmitter synthesis.
