Zooca® Calanus Oil boasts a comprehensive fatty acid profile, featuring 40 distinct fatty acids that are naturally bound within the oil’s unique natural form called wax esters. It contains essential Omega-3s such as EPA, DHA, and SDA, as well as monounsaturated fats like Omega-7 and Omega-11.

Many people don’t get all the nutrients their bodies need from diet alone, which is why multivitamins are so important for overall well-being. Among these nutrients, iodine stands out as essential for thyroid function and is one of Nestlé’s global ‘big four’ micronutrients. Yet around 68% of the world’s population is deficient¹, putting many at risk of hypothyroidism, a condition linked to weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, brittle hair, and more².

Despite its importance, iodine is often missing from multivitamin formulations. PureSea® Protect, the world’s first microencapsulated seaweed, was created to blend easily into multiple delivery formats and disperse well in water, all without the typical taste or aroma of seaweed.

The human gut is where 80% of the immune system resides and is home to trillions of microbes that influence nearly every aspect of health and wellness. These microbes form a dynamic ecosystem known as the gut microbiome, which is unique to each individual.

What people eat plays a crucial role in shaping this microbiome. To thrive, these microbes need fuel, commonly known as prebiotics. Enter Benicaros®: a patented, upcycled “precision prebiotic” fibre from carrot pomace, and winner for Microbiome Ingredient of the Year.

Research shows it trains the innate immune system for smarter, faster, and stronger responses while constantly stimulating beneficial gut bacteria and their metabolites across every type of gut ecosystem.
