Everything you need to know about each nutrient, compiled into an easy guide by our Head of Nutrition, Sarah Carolides

An easy guide to astaxanthin
Ever wondered why flamingoes are pink? Ever asked yourself how algae can use photosynthesis without getting damaged by the sun’s rays? Probably not. But the answer is astaxanthin, a naturally red pigment with unbelievable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers.

An easy guide to ashwagandha
We like to say that ashwagandha brings balance. Used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, here in the West we’re finally catching on to the physical, mental, stabilising and performance increasing capabilities of this ancient plant. Organic, natural, stress-busting goodness that can make your days and nights just that bit easier and more productive all round.

An easy guide to collagen
Skin. Tendons. Bones. Blood vessels. Gut lining. There isn’t much of the body that doesn’t need collagen. We stop producing it as we age, so supplementation is a must if you want to maintain youthful skin, muscle and support a robust digestive system.

An easy guide to hyaluronic acid
Like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of sponges, Hyalruonic acid can take in and hold over 1,000 times its own weight in water and is the body’s way of providing cushioning for the skin, joints and anywhere where there’s protective fluid.

An easy guide to hydration
Feeling tired? Run down? Not sleeping well? Skin not looking radiant? One factor underlying virtually everything in the body is how hydrated we are. Water is needed for every single biochemical reaction that happens, 24 hours a day.

An easy guide to iron
It's an essential mineral and energy-generating giant. Tiredness, fatigue, blood health, strength, immunity, focus and concentration will all benefit from optimal iron levels. But all too often iron supplements come at a price for your digestive health.

An easy guide to lion's mane
Can a mushroom really make you smarter? Yes, if it’s lion’s mane. Prized for millenia in traditional medicinal practices, it’s only recently that we in Europe are beginning to catch up with the myriad of benefits contained in these frankly, surprisingly good looking tree fungi.

An easy guide to magnesium
Never heard of magnesium? It’s the frequently forgotten superstar mineral that activates over 300 biochemical processes around the body every single day. It’s the hard working, multi-tasking cog that keeps a multitude of wheels turning at the same time.

An easy guide to vitamin b12
Small but decidedly mighty; little but markedly fierce; vitamin B12 is frequently overlooked yet could just be the simple boost you need to transform your health and energy levels. It’s essential for nerve production, artery health and even making new red blood cells.
