☀️ Don’t forget your skin this summer…

You might think your skin needs the most support in winter, but summer can be just as demanding - and it’s not just about slapping on the sunscreen ☀️!

Longer days outdoors mean more UV exposure, while heat, air conditioning, pollution and even salt water or chlorine can all leave your skin feeling drier and looking less radiant 😔.

That’s why it’s worth giving your skin some extra support with our range of patches created to boost skin health:

💫 Collagen Plus is packed with everything your body needs to support its own natural collagen production, from hydrolysed collagen peptides, to Vitamin C, Biotin, and Hyaluronic acid - a must for plump-looking, soft and hydrated skin 💁‍♀️

🌞 Sun Away is collagen's perfect partner for sunny days. Alongside antioxidants like vitamin E and selenium, it also contains Polypodium leucotomos; a tropical fern extract that has been widely studied for its ability to help support the skin’s natural defences against UV-induced oxidative stress (⚠️don’t forget your daily SPF, it shouldn’t replace your sun cream)

Whether you’re flying off somewhere exotic ✈️, or enjoying weekends in the garden at home 🌸 , our patches can help to keep your skin looking good all summer long 😎.

😴 Expert tips on how to sleep like a dream✨

Whether it’s neuroscientist Dr Matthew Walker, or circadian rhythm specialist Professor Russell Foster, experts agree that healthy sleep starts long before your head hits the pillow.

Here are some of their top sleep-friendly habits 💤…

1️⃣ Keep a consistent bedtime and wake-up time - even at weekends (you might regret that lie in…)

2️⃣ Switch off screens around an hour before bed. Blue light can interfere with your body’s natural production of melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep.

3️⃣ Avoid caffeine later in the day, especially if you’re sensitive to its effects.

4️⃣ Create a calming bedtime routine. A warm bath, gentle stretching, reading or a few minutes of deep breathing can all help your brain recognise it’s time to wind down. Don’t forget to keep it consistent!

5️⃣ Support your sleep with a magnesium supplement. Our Tri Mag Complex combines three forms of magnesium: L-threonate, glycinate and malate. Plus ashwagandha and L-theanine.

Unlike melatonin, which works by directly increasing levels of the sleep hormone (and is only available on prescription in the UK), these ingredients support relaxation and help create the conditions for restful sleep.

Even better, you can wear the patch for the full 8 hours you’re (hoping to be!) asleep and enjoy the benefits all night long 🌙

🤨 Why does magnesium help you sleep?

If you’ve ever wondered why magnesium is known as the “sleep mineral”, here’s the skinny…

✨ Magnesium helps calm the nervous system.
✨ It supports GABA, the neurotransmitter that encourages relaxation.
✨ It helps your body regulate cortisol, so it’s easier to switch from a stress response into rest mode.
✨It also supports melatonin production, helping to activate enzymes involved in your body’s natural production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
✨Some research suggests topping up your magnesium levels may help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and help you stay soundly asleep.
✨ Magnesium also contributes to normal psychological function, so getting enough may help your mind feel calmer before sleep.

If swallowing pills, or applying messy creams or sprays before bed isn’t your thing, our Tri-Mag patch offers a simple transdermal alternative that delivers magnesium gradually over up to 8 hours 🙌.

Helping you stay sleepy all night long 🥱, rather than delivering one dose at the beginning of bedtime which wears off at 3am 🙄

😴 Magnesium: the sleep mineral you might be missing

Struggling to switch off at bedtime? Try topping up your magnesium levels ✨

This must-have mineral can boost your health in so many ways, including a sounder night’s sleep 💤. Here’s how:

🧡 Magnesium helps activate GABA: a calming neurotransmitter that tells your brain it’s time to relax.
🧡 It also supports your nervous system, making it easier to unwind after a busy day.
🧡 Helps regulate your body’s stress response, including supporting your cortisol levels - the stress hormone that should naturally fall as you get ready for sleep.
🧡 Magnesium also promotes normal muscle function, so you’re less likely to be disturbed by muscle tension or cramps overnight.

Research suggests over 60% of us in the UK aren’t getting enough magnesium 😳. Usually because your diet is lacking in magnesium-rich foods like wholegrains, nuts, seeds and leafy green veggies 🥬. Or, you might have absorption issues, or be taking medication that increases the risk of low magnesium levels 😔.

An easy way to top up is our handy Tri-Magnesium Complex Patch, which delivers three forms of the most bioavailble magnesium, gradually over up to 8 hours.

💡New blog: Iron tablets side effects: why they happen and what to try instead

If you’ve stopped taking your iron tablets because they made you feel sick, bloated or constipated, you’re not the only one.

📊 Studies suggest up to 60% of people taking oral iron supplements experience gut side effects, and around half stop taking them because of those unpleasant symptoms.

The problem? Low iron is incredibly common; especially in women 😔.

Around 1 in 3 women are thought to have an iron deficiency, thanks to periods, pregnancy, and higher iron requirements. And because many of the symptoms creep up gradually, it’s easy to dismiss them as “just being busy”, stress or even perimenopause 😬.

So, an iron supplement is a must for lots of us, but what do you do if you dread taking them?

Our latest blog explains what’s happening inside your gut when you take iron ✅, why timing your tablets can become surprisingly complicated, and why foods like dairy, tea and coffee can all affect how much iron you absorb ✅.

We also explore:
✨ Why an Iron Patch could be a gentler alternative if tablets don’t agree with you
✨ The surprising foods that can help boost your iron levels naturally
✨ Which nutrients help your body absorb iron more effectively

🤔 Could you be more at risk of low iron than you realise?

Iron deficiency isn’t just about not eating enough red meat! Lots of us are much more likely to struggle to maintain healthy iron levels, even if you’re eating a balanced diet.

Here’s who should pay extra attention…

🩸 Women with periods
Around 1 in 3 women are estimated to have an iron deficiency, thanks to monthly blood loss and higher iron requirements during your reproductive years.

🌱 Vegetarians and vegans
Plant-based foods only contain non-haem iron, which isn’t absorbed as efficiently by your body as the haem iron found in meat and fish.

🏃 Active people
Regular running and exercise can increase your body’s iron requirements through a combination of sweating, foot-strike impact and increased red blood cell turnover. Recent research suggests iron deficiency is surprisingly common in athletes, particularly women.

🤰 During pregnancy
Your body needs significantly more iron to support your growing baby and the increase in your own blood volume.

💡 But here’s something you might not know…

Getting enough iron isn’t just how much you consume, it’s also about how much your body can absorb.

Calcium, tea, coffee and some medications can all reduce iron absorption. And for some people, digestive side effects make taking iron tablets consistently almost impossible 😔.

That’s why alternatives like our Iron Plus Patch are so effective. Because the nutrients are delivered through the skin, there’s no upset tummy to worry about, you're providing a steady dose throughout the 8hrs you wear the patch, and it's easy to use EVERY day.

🤩 4 reasons to choose an iron patch rather than a tablet

Iron is one of the UK’s most commonly taken supplements, but for many people, oral iron comes with a whole host of unpleasant side effects 🤢…

Here’s why using a patch instead could be a better bet:

👉 Patches bypass the digestive system
Iron patches deliver nutrients through the skin rather than the gut, so there’s no tablet to swallow and no iron sitting in your stomach. This means no more constipation, nausea, bloating or stomach cramps 🙌

👉 No need to juggle your supplements and medications
Iron tablets are best taken several hours apart from calcium, magnesium and zinc because they can interfere with each other’s absorption. They can also reduce the absorption of some medications, including certain antibiotics and thyroid medication.

With an iron patch, there’s no need to plan your day around when to take your supplement.

👉 Ideal if you struggle to swallow tablets
Large iron tablets aren’t for everyone. If you dislike swallowing pills, have a sensitive stomach or want a super simple way to top up patches can help. Simply pop one on and wear for up to eight hours 👌

👉A steady supply throughout the day
Instead of taking one large oral dose, patches provide a continuous dose of iron gradually throughout the day while you wear them. This can be much easier for your body to use than a large quantity, most of which your body won’t be able to use and will end up being excreted 😩.
