Summer is when our skin works harder. Longer days, more sun, more time outside, all of it adds up to more oxidative stress on the cells underneath.

Astaxanthin is one of the most studied antioxidants in the carotenoid family. Found naturally in microalgae, it's known for its ability to help neutralise free radicals, the unstable molecules produced by everyday environmental pressures.

Our Astaxanthin Capsules are a straightforward, single-ingredient formulation, suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Made in our Wiltshire clean room facility to GMP standards, with no unnecessary fillers.

Working from home was supposed to be the dream. For a lot of us, it’s also become quietly exhausting. 💻

No commute means no decompression. The kitchen is the new break room. ‘Logging off’ doesn’t really exist when your laptop is two metres from your sofa.

This week’s new blog looks at the small, specific shifts that protect your mental health when home and work share a postcode, and the nutrition habits that quietly support a busy desk-based brain.

Here’s the thing about collagen supplements: your body doesn’t actually use them as collagen. It breaks them down and reassembles the parts. ✨

Which is why we formulated ours differently. Instead of just collagen alone, our Collagen Formula brings together the building blocks your body actually needs to make its own - L-glycine, L-proline and L-lysine - along with vitamin C, copper, zinc and biotin (the cofactors that make the whole process work), plus hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate from the connective tissue matrix.

One capsule. Designed for skin, joints, hair and nails to be supported from the inside out.

A confession from our customer service inbox: a lot of you are placing the same order, every month, manually. 😅

We love you for it - but we built our new subscription so you don’t have to.

Set your delivery rhythm once, save on every order, skip a month if you’re away, swap products when your routine changes. No commitment. No subscription-as-a-trap. Just the supplements you already buy, arriving when you need them.

If you’ve been meaning to take a look since we launched it earlier this month, then this is your gentle nudge.

You can subscribe to your favourites by clicking subscribe and save from any product page on our website, then just choose how often you want your order delivered. Easy!

Your body can build a lot of things from scratch. Omega 3 isn’t one of them. 🐟

EPA and DHA - the two omega-3 fatty acids your heart, brain and eyes depend on - have to come from your diet. And unless you’re eating oily fish two or three times a week, chances are you’re not getting quite enough.

Our Omega 3 is sourced from sustainably caught anchovy, sardine and mackerel (flesh, not livers), tested every batch for purity, and protected with natural mixed tocopherols to keep it fresh.

As Mental Health Awareness Week draws to a close, here's a read that goes a layer deeper. 🌿

Stress isn't just emotional, it's biological.

Raised heart rate, blood pressure, the slow drain on your energy and sleep. And while no breakfast smoothie is going to fix a hard week, the link between nutrition and how we cope with stress is far stronger than most of us realise.

This guide breaks down what stress actually does to the body, the specific nutrients tied to normal psychological function (think magnesium, folate, B6, B12), and the plant compounds - like the EGCG in green tea and rhodiola - being studied for their role in stress and relaxation.

Practical, evidence-aware, and a useful one to bookmark for the next stretch of life that feels a bit much.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and while no supplement is a substitute for the bigger stuff (rest, connection, asking for help), nutrition does have a quiet supporting role to play. 🌿

Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and helps the body manage its stress response. The bisglycinate form is bound to glycine, an amino acid known for its calming effect on the brain - making it a gentle, well-absorbed option for daily use.

If you’ve been feeling wired-but-tired, struggling to switch off in the evening, or running on stress for longer than you’d like, it might be worth a look.

Mental Health Awareness Week starts tomorrow and this year’s theme is simply: Action. 💚

Not a grand gesture. Not a life overhaul. Just small, daily actions that protect how we feel, long before things start to feel heavy.

This week’s read is a gentle, practical guide to making your well-being a habit, not a project.
