Ingredients included in our formulas

All our ingredients have been tested to match our standards for short and long-term benefits, bioavailability and safety for women over 55 years old. They were then combined in our complementary formulas.

The Foundation

Targeting age-related maintenance.

Muscle, Bone & Joints

Hydrolysed Marine Collagen

5g
The Science

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body. As a source of protein, it contributes to the maintenance of normal bone and the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.

Our Rationale

We include 5g of Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Peptides. This is a research-informed dose to support structural integrity and bone mass, while being manageable daily without stomach upset. The hydrolysed peptide form ensures the protein is pre-broken down for maximum absorption.

Muscle & Energy

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate

3g
The Science

Creatine is the body's primary molecule for rapid energy regeneration. When combined with regular resistance training, a daily 3g intake is scientifically proven to enhance muscle strength in adults over the age of 55 by increasing the availability of cellular fuel.

Our Rationale

We use 3g of Micronized Creatine Monohydrate. We strictly adhere to this research-informed dosage as it is sufficient to saturate muscle stores safely without the bloating or stomach upset common with high dose loading phases. We chose the micronized form because it dissolves better in liquid and is easier for the stomach to digest.

Bone Health

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)

800 IU (20 µg)
The Science

Vitamin D functions as a pro-hormone, regulating calcium absorption. This regulation contributes to normal blood calcium levels and the maintenance of normal muscle function. Crucially, it helps reduce the risk of falling associated with poor balance, coordination and muscle weakness in women 55+.

Our Rationale

We use 800 IU (20 µg) of Vitamin D3. The standard baseline NRV is increasingly recognized by European physicians as insufficient for older adults, particularly those living in northern climates. We utilize a targeted 400% NRV dose to provide the modern, physician-recommended boost required for optimal calcium absorption while strictly avoiding excessive levels. We use Cholecalciferol (D3) as it is the bioactive form naturally produced by the skin, far superior to D2.

Bone & Arterial Health

Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7 / MK-7)

150 µg
The Science

While Vitamin D helps absorb calcium, Vitamin K2 helps direct it. It acts as an essential helper molecule for proteins that contribute to the maintenance of normal bone. Emerging research highlights the synergy between D3 and K2 in optimizing skeletal integrity in ageing adults.

Our Rationale

We use 150 µg of Vitamin K2 as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Informed by landmark research, we utilize a 200% NRV dose to provide the high-potency support required to direct calcium into the bone matrix and away from your arteries. This specific amount goes beyond standard daily minimums to ensure there is enough active MK-7 to optimize both skeletal strength and cardiovascular vitality. We use the MK-7 form because it stays active in the body for days, unlike synthetic MK-4 which clears rapidly.

Bone Health

Calcium (Calcium Citrate)

250 mg
The Science

Calcium is the essential mineral foundation of the skeletal system. Beyond its authorized role in maintaining normal bone, it is critical for normal muscle function and neurotransmission (the signaling between brain and body).

Our Rationale

We selected 250 mg of Calcium Citrate. We provide this moderate 31% NRV top-up dose to support bone density while maintaining a healthy nutritional balance alongside your dietary intake. This precise amount is designed to provide essential structural support without the risks associated with large, concentrated doses. We use the Citrate form because it absorbs well even with low stomach acid, unlike cheaper carbonates.

Cellular Defense & Skin

Vitamin C (Calcium Ascorbate)

250 mg
The Science

Vitamin C is an essential helper molecule for the enzymes that build collagen. It contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones, cartilage, and skin. Additionally, it protects cells from oxidative stress.

Our Rationale

We use 250 mg of Calcium Ascorbate. We use 313% NRV to provide the saturation levels required for collagen synthesis and whole-body antioxidant defense. This potency provides a targeted boost beyond daily minimums, using buffered calcium ascorbate to ensure the higher dose remains exceptionally gentle on the stomach, without exceeding the body's absorption limits per serving. We selected this buffered form (bound to calcium) because it is non-acidic and far gentler on the stomach than standard ascorbic acid.

Energy

Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 (The Energy Matrix)

1.1mg B1, 1.1mg B2, 14mg B3, 5mg B5
The Science

Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), and Pantothenic Acid (B5) contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, effectively converting nutrients into the fuel needed for muscle and brain function.

Our Rationale

We include these at physiological doses to provide consistent enzymatic support while avoiding the itching, redness, and nausea often triggered by mega-doses. We use active coenzyme forms like Riboflavin 5'-Phosphate so your body can utilize these nutrients immediately for energy production.

Energy & Nervous System

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate)

3 mg
The Science

Vitamin B6 is essential for producing neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that allow your brain cells to "talk" to one another. These include serotonin (which regulates your mood and sense of well-being) and dopamine (which supports your motivation and focus). By supporting these messengers, Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness, normal psychological function, and the regulation of hormonal activity.

Our Rationale

We use 3 mg of Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P-5-P). Informed by landmark longevity research, we provide a high-potency 214% NRV dose of active P-5-P to support cognitive and hormonal health. This level is carefully calibrated to offer optimized physiological support while strictly avoiding the neuropathy (nerve sensitivity) risks associated with excessive doses of the standard synthetic pyridoxine. We use P-5-P because it is the ready-to use, active coenzyme form, requiring no liver conversion.

Vitamin B9 (Folate as 5-MTHF)

400 µg
The Science

Folate is required to recycle homocysteine, a natural byproduct that can rise with age. If left unmanaged, high levels of this byproduct may impact the delicate structures of your heart and brain. Folate converts it back into useful nutrients. Folate also contributes to normal psychological function, blood formation, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Our Rationale

We use 400 µg of 5-MTHF. Informed by landmark longevity research, we utilize this 200% NRV dose to support healthy homocysteine metabolism. This potency ensures optimal metabolic activity where lower doses often fall short, providing a safe and effective level for sustained cardiovascular and psychological support. We strictly use the methylated form (5-MTHF) because it bypasses the MTHFR gene mutation that prevents many people from processing standard folic acid.

Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

500 µg
The Science

Absorption efficiency of B12 decreases significantly with age due to reduced stomach acid. It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, red blood cell formation, and the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Our Rationale

We use 500 µg of Methylcobalamin. While this dose is significantly higher than the NRV, this high potency dose is informed by research and specifically chosen to bypass age-related absorption gaps where standard doses often fail. By creating a concentration gradient, this allows the essential amount of B12 your body needs to seep directly through the intestinal wall. This approach is exceptionally safe as Vitamin B12 has no known toxicity, providing the mandatory foundation to balance our high-dose folate for nervous system support. We chose Methylcobalamin as it is the bio-identical form found in nature, offering better retention than synthetic cyanocobalamin.

Metabolic Support

Chromium (Picolinate)

20 µg
The Science

Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels, supporting steady energy regulation and metabolic health.

Our Rationale

We use 20 µg of Chromium Picolinate. We chose this safe maintenance dose (50% NRV) to support steady glucose metabolism, without interfering with other mineral absorption.. We use the Picolinate form because it is significantly more stable and bioavailable than standard chromium salts.

Selenium (Yeast)

40 µg
The Science

Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function (the master regulator of metabolism) and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Our Rationale

We use 40 µg of Selenium Yeast. Our 73% dose provides essential antioxidant and thyroid support without accumulation. It complements your diet to maintain cellular defense while avoiding toxicity from excessive intake. We use the organic yeast form because it mimics food, allowing for superior storage in muscle tissue.

Cellular Defense & Tissue Repair

Copper (Bisglycinate)

900 µg
The Science

Copper supports the maintenance of normal connective tissues. Together with Manganese, it helps maintain the structural mesh that supports joints and bones.

Our Rationale

We use 900 µg of Copper (Bisglycinate). We calibrated this dose (90% NRV) to balance our Zinc intake, preventing the copper deficiency often caused by zinc supplements. We deliberately avoid excessive amounts for long-term safety and to prevent mineral accumulation. We selected the bisglycinate form for its superior stability and absorption compared to standard sulfates.

Manganese (Bisglycinate)

0.5 mg
The Science

Manganese is a trace mineral that acts as a helper molecule for enzymes involved in tissue repair. It contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue and protects cells from oxidative stress.

Our Rationale

We use 0.5 mg of Manganese (Bisglycinate). We kept this dose moderate (35%NRV) to provide safe, long-term connective tissue support without risk of accumulation. We chose the bisglycinate form to ensure it survives digestion and is actually absorbed.

Brain maintenance

Targeting cognition, vision and mood. With extra cardiovacular benefits.

Cognition & Heart

Omega-3 Fatty Acids (rTG Form)

750 mg DHA & 500 mg EPA
The Science

Omega-3s are essential "functional fats". DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision, while EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. Leading longevity research is exploring the role of EPA in modulating cellular signaling and inflammation.

Our Rationale

We deliver 1.25g of Omega-3s (750mg DHA/500mg EPA). This high potency dose reflects research indicating that larger amounts drive better cognitive and cardiovascular outcomes for women over 55. We use the rTG form because it matches the natural structure of fish fat, making it up to 70% more absorbable.

Vision

Lutein & Zeaxanthin (Marigold Extract)

10 mg & 2 mg
The Science

Lutein and Zeaxanthin naturally accumulate in the eye. Research continues to explore the "Eye-Brain Axis," investigating how these antioxidants may also support neural processing and memory.

Our Rationale

We use 10 mg Lutein and 2 mg Zeaxanthin derived from natural Marigold Flower Extract. We strictly adhere to this specific dosage and ratio because it is the precise formulation used in numerous clinical trials investigating cognitive and visual health.

Cognition & Protection

Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols & Alpha-Tocopherol)

15 mg
The Science

The brain is highly susceptible to oxidative damage. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It works synergistically to protect cell membranes from oxidative damage.

Our Rationale

We include 15 mg of Vitamin E from from a blend of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocopherols to mimic nature's full spectrum for broader antioxidant protection. Our dose provides a nutritional boost that prevents deficiency while avoiding the toxicity potential of very high doses. This protects the integrity of the Omega-3s and contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Cognition & Vision

Zinc (Bisglycinate)

6.5 mg
The Science

Zinc is highly concentrated in the hippocampus (the memory center). It contributes to normal cognitive function, normal DNA synthesis, and the metabolism of Vitamin A. It is a critical helper molecule for the vision-support matrix.

Our Rationale

We use 6.5 mg of Zinc Bisglycinate. We deliberately selected this moderate dose of 65% NRV to ensure adequate nutrition without the risk of interfering with copper absorption, which is a common concern with high-dose zinc. Zinc is notoriously hard on the stomach, so we chose the chelated bisglycinate form to make it neutral and easy to digest.

Metabolism & Thyroid

Iodine (Potassium Iodide)

100 µg
The Science

Iodine is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones, which are responsible for regulating metabolic rate. Therfeore, iodine contributes to normal thyroid function and, crucially, normal cognitive function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Thyroid efficiency often declines with age, which can impact mental sharpness.

Our Rationale

We use 100 µg of Iodine as Potassium Iodide, a very stable salt form that the body can easily break down for reliable absorption. With the modern shift away from iodized salt, daily dietary intake of this vital mineral is often insufficient. We provide a precise 67% NRV dose to safely support your thyroid and cognitive function without triggering the sensitivities sometimes caused by excessive iodine.

Cognition, Mood & Sleep

Magnesium (Bisglycinate)

200 mg
The Science

Magnesium is a critical mineral for the nervous system. It contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Extensive research is exploring its ability to regulate the stress response and support sleep quality in older adults.

Our Rationale

We use 200 mg of elemental Magnesium from Bisglycinate, where magnesium is bound to glycine. This substantial dose (53% NRV) is informed by research regarding the sleep and relaxation benefits of Magnesium Bisglycinate. We prioritized this form because, unlike Oxide or Citrate, it does not draw water into the bowel, avoiding laxative effects. This gentle, bioavailable form supports the nervous system without digestive disruption.

Muscle maintenance

Designed for long-term muscle support.

Muscle Repair & Structure

Whey Protein Isolate

25g
The Science

Protein provides the building blocks for all cellular machinery and muscle maintenance. It contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and bone. Specifically, the high leucine content of whey protein isolate acts as the "ignition switch" for muscle protein synthesis, helping to overcome the anabolic resistance common in older adults. Whey protein isolate has a complete and favourable amino acid profile, providing all you need in the correct ratios.

Our Rationale

We include 25g of 99.7% pure Whey Protein Isolate. We selected this dosage to provide the potent leucine trigger required to overcome age-related "anabolic resistance" and stimulate repair, while contributing to the daily protein requirement of women 55+. We chose this high-purity Isolate to ensure a profile that is very low in lactose and fat, making it far easier to digest than standard concentrates.
