Ashwagandha, or Withania somnifera (WS), holds a special place in several traditional Ayruvedic preparations similar to ginseng in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditionally, ashwagandha was categorized as a Rasayana, or rejuvenator, for its wide ranging health benefits; said to “promote a youthful state of physical and mental health and expand happiness”*. The properties ascribed to Rasayanas in Ayurveda are remarkably similar to the definition of adaptogens today; a natural substance considered to help the body adapt to stress.

We can now supply Ashwagandha from Verdure Sciences, the makers of Longvida®. If you would like to learn more about this ingredient, please visit our dedicated page or contact us.

PureSea® unique seaweed ingredients are a natural vegan wholefood source of iodine, an essential nutrient and integral component of the thyroid hormones. Iodine mediates the effects of thyroid on brain development and other functions in the body, including metabolism, nervous system, development in children and healthy skin.*

Demonstrated in independent clinical trials, PureSea® seaweed releases iodine in a sustained way, with longer retention in the body compared to artificial sources (potassium iodide) often used in food supplements.

To achieve an EFSA claim on cognitive health, only 100mg of PureSea® are needed per serving, allowing multiple product concepts and ingredient combinations. And with PureSea® Protect, almost any application is possible due to the proprietary micro-encapsulation of the powder that results in a white, odourless and highly dispersible powder, with proven targeted nutrient release during digestion.
