Collagen Creamer Questions

Our Collagen blend is designed to support skin elasticity, joint health, and overall connective tissue strength. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are the primary ingredient, providing your body with the essential building blocks for healthy skin, hair, and joints. Organic coconut milk powder adds a creamy texture, while Fibregum (a prebiotic fiber) supports gut health, making this a complete,nourishing blend.

Yes! Our Collagen blend is safe for daily use. To enjoy the benefits over time, simply follow the recommended serving instructions. It’s easy to incorporate into your daily routine, and makes for a delicious addition to your morning coffee

Our Collagen blend is generally safe for most people. It’s free from common allergens, but if you have allergies to coconut or any animal-based products, please consult with your healthcare provider before use.

We recommend 1–2 servings of collagen daily. You can mix it into your coffee, tea, smoothie, or even water for a quick, convenient boost. Some people prefer to take it in the morning to start the day, while others enjoy it before bed for overnight support.

Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are collagen molecules that have been broken down into smaller, more digestible pieces, making them easier for your body to absorb and use. This form of collagen is ideal for supporting skin elasticity, joint mobility, and hair and nail health.

Fibregum is a prebiotic fiber derived from acacia gum. It helps support digestive health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. This makes our collagen blend even more supportive by improving gut function and helping your body absorb nutrients more effectively.

Organic coconut milk powder adds a creamy texture to the blend, making it deliciously smooth and enjoyable to consume. It's also a natural source of healthy fats, which can support skin hydration and overall wellness.

Natural vanilla flavor is added to enhance the taste of our collagen blend. It creates a pleasant, mild sweetness that complements the other ingredients without being overpowering. Plus, it’s free from artificial additives, keeping your supplement as clean and pure as possible.

Yes. Our Collagen Creamer is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your body works hard to support your skin, hair and joints through this stage, and collagen gives it extra building blocks. Every journey is different, so check with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Whilst our Collagen Creamer is safe for children, they certainly don’t need it. With youth on their side, their natural collagen levels need no supplementation. (We know, we’re jealous too…)

Protein Questions

Our Protein blend is designed to support muscle recovery, build lean muscle, and provide sustained energy throughout the day. It combines organic pea, brown rice, and hemp proteins to deliver a complete amino acid profile, while organic coconut milk powder adds a creamy texture. Fibregum, a prebiotic fibre, supports digestive health plus, our probiotic blend promotes gut health, making it a truly nourishing and delicious way to fuel your body.

Yes! Our Protein blend is perfect for daily use. Whether you’re post-workout, need a meal replacement, or just want to boost your protein intake, this blend can be enjoyed every day. Just follow the recommended serving instructions for the best results.

Our Protein blend is made with clean, plant-based ingredients, and is generally safe for most people. However, if you have allergies to any of the ingredients (such as coconut or specific proteins), it's a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before use. It’s vegan-friendly and gluten-free!

You can take 1–2 servings daily, depending on your needs. For post-workout recovery, it’s best to enjoy a serving within 30 minutes after exercise. It’s also great as a snack or meal replacement throughout the day. Simply mix it with water, plant-based milk, or add it to smoothies for an extra protein boost.

We’ve combined organic pea, brown rice, and hemp proteins to provide a complete amino acid profile. Each type of protein has its unique benefits, with pea protein being rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), brown rice protein offering excellent digestibility, and hemp protein being high in healthy fats and fibre. Together, they provide a balanced source of plant-based protein.

Fibregum is a prebiotic fibre derived from acacia gum. It helps support your digestive system by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. It also helps improve the absorption of nutrients, ensuring your body gets the most out of the protein and other ingredients.

Organic coconut milk powder provides a rich, creamy texture and helps improve the flavour of our protein blend. It’s also a natural source of healthy fats, which support energy levels, skin health, and overall wellness.

Our probiotic blend, which includes strains like Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bifidobacterium lactis, helps support digestive and gut health.

Our chocolate variant includes cocoa powder and raw cacao powder to bring a rich chocolate flavour to the blend while offering the added benefits of antioxidants. These ingredients are packed with flavonoids, which support heart health and provide an energy boost. Plus, they make your protein shake feel like a decadent treat!

Lucuma powder is derived from the fruit of the Pouteria lucuma tree and is known for its natural
sweetness and rich nutritional profile. It contains essential vitamins and minerals, including beta-
carotene and iron, and provides a subtle caramel-like flavor, making our Vanilla Protein blend
naturally sweet and delicious without relying on refined sugars.

Stevia is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener that provides a hint of sweetness without spiking bloodsugar levels. It’s the perfect alternative to sugar, keeping your protein blend low in calories while still delivering a great-tasting drink.

Sodium gluconate is a safe and natural mineral used to maintain the stability of the product. It also helps regulate the balance of electrolytes in your body, supporting hydration and muscle function, which is especially important if you're using the protein after workouts.

Complete Prenatal Questions

Complete Prenatal is a daily prenatal system made for before, during and after pregnancy. It combines four formulas: a prenatal multivitamin, a dedicated choline capsule, a calcium, vitamin D3 and magnesium capsule, and an omega-3 capsule. Your full day's dose comes in one small pouch.

Some of the most important nutrients for pregnancy are bulky. Choline, calcium and omega-3 can't fit into one pill at the amounts you need, so each gets its own capsule. Splitting the formula also keeps iron and calcium in separate capsules, since the two compete for absorption.

Each box holds 30 pouches. Each pouch holds your full day's dose of 6 capsules. Tear one open each day and you're done. No counting, no guessing.

Take one pouch a day with food. If you prefer, split it across two meals. Taking the calcium capsules at a different meal from the multivitamin helps your body absorb both the iron and the calcium.

Ideally three months before you start trying to conceive. Baby's brain and spinal cord start forming in the first few weeks of pregnancy, often before you know you're pregnant. Starting early means your folate and choline levels are already where they need to be.

All the way through pregnancy and into the months after birth. Your body keeps working hard after baby arrives, especially if you're breastfeeding, so many women carry on for up to a year.

Your daily pouch contains vitamin A 1000 IU, vitamin C 50mg, vitamin B1 5mg, vitamin B2 2mg, vitamin B3 15mg, vitamin B6 10mg, folate 500mcg, vitamin B12 50mcg, biotin 100mcg, pantothenic acid 5mg, vitamin D3 600 IU, vitamin K2 (MK-7) 100mcg, choline 450mg, calcium 500mg, iron 24mg, magnesium 150mg, zinc 5mg, iodine 150mcg, DHA 356mg and EPA 143mg.

Choline supports the development of baby's brain and spinal cord. The current recommended intake for pregnancy is 450mg a day, and many prenatal vitamins contain little or none. Complete Prenatal gives you the full 450mg.

Folate supports the healthy development of baby's neural tube, which becomes the brain and spine. It's the most important nutrient to have in place before and during early pregnancy.

Yes. Your daily pouch includes an omega-3 capsule with 356mg of DHA and 143mg of EPA. Most guidelines recommend at least 200mg of DHA a day during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so you're well covered.

DHA is a key building block of baby's brain and eyes. Baby relies on your intake to get it, especially in the third trimester when the brain grows fastest. EPA works alongside DHA and supports your own health through pregnancy.

Iodine helps your thyroid make the hormones that guide baby's brain development. Your needs go up during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and 150mcg a day is the amount most health bodies recommend getting from a supplement.

We use iron bisglycinate, a gentle form of iron that's easy to absorb and easier on your stomach. Your iron needs rise during pregnancy because your body makes more blood to support baby.

Calcium builds baby's bones and teeth and protects your own. Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb that calcium, and magnesium supports muscle and nerve function. Complete Prenatal tops up what you get from food, so keep including calcium-rich foods in your diet too.

Vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to your bones and teeth, where your body needs it. It works hand in hand with calcium and vitamin D3.

Yes. Too much vitamin A can be harmful in pregnancy, so we use 1000 IU, well within safe limits.

Prenatals can be hard on a sensitive stomach, especially in the first trimester. Taking your pouch with food helps. If you're struggling, split the capsules across breakfast and dinner.

Yes. Once baby arrives, Complete Prenatal and Breastfeeding Support work well together to keep you nourished and hydrated.

Show your doctor or midwife the Complete Prenatal label. If you're already taking a separate iron or folic acid supplement, they can tell you whether you still need it.

Every ingredient comes with a certificate of analysis from its supplier. We checked each ingredient and dose against the latest published research on what mom and baby need.

BreastFeeding Questions

Our Breastfeeding Support blend is designed to gently support milk supply and hydration, while helping you feel nourished and replenished. It combines traditional herbal extracts with key electrolytes and nutrients to support you during this demanding stage.

Yes! Our blend is designed to be safe for daily use while breastfeeding. Just follow the recommended serving instructions.

Yes, all ingredients are chosen with breastfeeding moms (and babies!) in mind. But if you have any concerns, we always recommend chatting to your healthcare provider.

You can enjoy 1–2 sachets daily for ongoing support and maintenance. If you notice your supply dropping or you need an extra boost, you can increase to 3–4 sachets a day as needed. This flexible approach is often recommended by lactation consultants to help you respond to your body’s needs.

Fenugreek has a long history of use as a galactagogue (a natural support for milk supply). Our concentrated extract provides a potent, standardized dose to help support healthy lactation.

Milk thistle is traditionally used to support liver health and may also help promote milk production. It’s a gentle herb that helps your body feel nourished and balanced.

Vitamin C supports your immune system, helps fight fatigue, and supports overall recovery postpartum. It’s an important antioxidant for both mom and baby.

Blackthorn berry extract is traditionally used to help strengthen and revitalize the body. It provides a natural source of nutrients and antioxidants to support overall vitality during breastfeeding.

Hydration is key while breastfeeding. These electrolytes help maintain fluid balance and support healthy hydration levels, which are essential for milk production and overall
energy.

It has a naturally refreshing, slightly fruity taste from the berry extract, designed to be easy and enjoyable to drink throughout the day.

Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate Questions

Our Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate is designed to help you unwind and support deeper, more restorative sleep. It blends magnesium (to relax your body and nervous system), calming botanicals, and amino acids that help quiet a busy mind, all wrapped up in a delicious chocolate ritual.

Every ingredient was carefully chosen for its role in promoting calm and better sleep. We use highly bioavailable magnesium glycinate for relaxation, glycine to support sleep quality, L-theanine and passion flower to help calm racing thoughts, inositol to support nervous system balance, glutamine for recovery, and vitamin B6 to help with natural sleep hormone production.

Nope! Our formulation supports your natural sleep cycles rather than forcing sedation. You should wake up feeling refreshed, not groggy.

Yes! It’s gentle enough to enjoy daily. Just follow the recommended serving instructions.

Absolutely! We worked hard to make sure it tastes smooth, rich, and chocolatey, like a dreamy, cozy treat rather than a typical “functional” drink. It’s a bedtime ritual you’ll actually look forward to.

Magnesium glycinate is one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium and is known for its calming, muscle-relaxing properties. It helps your body and mind unwind so you can drift into deeper sleep more easily.

L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea that promotes a sense of calm focus. In the evening, it helps relax the mind without causing drowsiness during the day.

Passionflower has been traditionally used to ease anxiety and support restful sleep. It works beautifully alongside magnesium and L-theanine to help settle a busy mind before
bed.

Inositol is a naturally occurring compound (sometimes called vitamin B8) that supports healthy nervous system function and helps promote a sense of calm. It’s often used to ease feelings of stress and help quiet a restless mind before bed.

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter that helps slow down brain activity and promote relaxation. It acts like a “brake” for the nervous system, helping you transition into a more restful state so you can fall asleep more easily

We know good sleep is extra precious during this time, but our Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate hasn’t been specifically tested for pregnant or breastfeeding women. We recommend chatting to your healthcare professional first, just to be safe.

Our Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate is formulated for adults. While the ingredients are generally safe, we suggest parents decide what feels right for their family, whether that’s using a smaller serving or skipping it altogether. When in doubt, chat to your doctor.

Deep Sleep Capsules Questions

Each capsule combines magnesium bisglycinate, L-theanine, GABA, passionflower and vitamin B6. Together they help quiet a busy mind and relax your body so you fall asleep more easily, stay asleep for longer and wake up feeling rested.

Both are made to help you switch off at night. The hot chocolate is a warm drink you make part of your wind-down. The capsules are quick, easy to travel with, and a good fit if you'd prefer to skip a drink before bed. The formulas also differ slightly, so check each ingredient list to see what's in each one.

We recommend choosing one per night. Both contain magnesium and several of the same calming ingredients, so one serving is all you need.

Take 2 capsules with water about 30 to 60 minutes before bed. Each tub of 60 capsules gives you 30 nights.

No. The formula supports your body's natural wind-down and doesn't sedate you, so you wake up feeling clear and refreshed.

Melatonin is a hormone your body makes on its own. We built this formula around a calm mind and a relaxed body, the conditions your body needs to fall asleep naturally. That makes it a nightly routine you can rely on without adding a sleep hormone.

Yes. They're gentle enough for nightly use. Just follow the recommended serving.

Some people feel it on the first night. For most, better sleep builds over the first week or two of taking them every night.

None of the ingredients are known to be habit-forming. You can take them nightly or only when you need them, and stop whenever you like.

Magnesium bisglycinate is one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium. It helps your muscles and nervous system relax, and it's gentle on the stomach.

L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea. It helps you feel calm without making you drowsy, which makes it easier to switch off the thoughts that keep you awake.

GABA is a natural messenger in your brain that slows down nerve activity. Think of it as the brake pedal for your nervous system. It helps you move into a calmer, more restful state before sleep.

Passionflower has a long history of traditional use for restlessness and sleep. We use a concentrated 10:1 extract, so each capsule delivers the equivalent of 150mg of the herb.

Vitamin B6 helps your body make serotonin and melatonin, two of the chemicals that regulate sleep. We use pyridoxal 5-phosphate, the active form of B6, which your body can use straight away.

If you take prescription sleep medication, anti-anxiety medication or antidepressants, speak to your doctor first. Some of these ingredients can add to the effect of those medicines.

We don't recommend Deep Sleep Capsules during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor says otherwise. They haven't been tested for this stage, and some herbal ingredients are best avoided while pregnant.

No. Deep Sleep Capsules are made for adults only.
