We all know about the benefits OptiMSM® and Collagen offer for the skin. But what if we told you they work even better when combined?

A recent study¹ investigated the effects of collagen supplementation with or without MSM on skin health in women (aged 40-65). At week 12 only those receiving both MSM and collagen saw improvements in skin thickness, hydration and roughness.

Additionally, while supplemental collagen alone reduced skin roughness, the effect was significantly greater in the group that received both OptiMSM® and collagen together. The study concluded that combining MSM with collagen provides even greater benefits for skin health. Download here the New White Paper about OptiMSM® & Collagen and discover more.

Benicaros® is a sustainable, plant-based, clean label precision prebiotic, backed by research demonstrating its ability to train the innate immune system for smarter, faster and stronger responses and stimulate beneficial gut bacteria and their metabolites in any type of gut ecosystem. In this article, we will dive into the benefits of Benicaros® for gut health.

A recent study¹ compared the prebiotic effects of three well-known dietary fibres of various specificity (i.e. structural complexity) on the intestinal microbiota of healthy adults. Results demonstrated that Benicaros® significantly increased a broad spectrum of operational taxonomic units with 40% lower gas production than traditional prebiotics. Benicaros® selectively stimulated species of bacteria that were consistently present among human adults, resulting in lower microbiota composition differences between subjects.

Our PlantNutra® Zinc is plant-based, clean label and standardised to minimum 2.5% Zinc from guava with the addition of tannins and polyphenols, which are naturally occurring in the fruit. According to research, tannins and polyphenols found in guava may offer additional antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Plant-based zinc tends to be more easily recognised and absorbed by the body, as it closely resembles nutrients found in whole foods. Known for supporting immune function, cognitive health, and reproductive systems, zinc also contributes to maintaining healthy skin, nails, hair, bones, and vision. Plus, it allows for several EFSA-approved health claims.

It is known that women entering the menopause often suffer bone mineral density changes due to a decline in estrogen levels. Estrogen plays a key role in preventing bone weakening by slowing the natural breakdown of bone. Furthermore, aging is associated with a higher likelihood of vitamin D deficiency and dysregulated vitamin D function, not only this but absorption becomes less efficient with age. Supplementing with PureWay™ D3, a high-quality vitamin D optimised with Liposomax™ for better absorption and uptake, may be crucial for supporting bone health in women during this transition.

Our PureWay™ D3 is derived from lanolin and produced with true liposomal technology, a proprietary, all-natural process using no alcohols or solvents and sunflower (not soy) lecithin. This not only enhances the bioavailability of vitamin D but it also differentiates it from other forms of vitamin D on the market.
