Our bioactives library
Each bioactive is selected for its benefit demonstrated in humans and its documented bioavailability.
Every dosage shown states the pure active substance itself, excluding excipients and carriers. The raw material weighed in the laboratory is always heavier than the figure displayed.
Astaxanthin
Red carotenoid pigment extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, one of the most concentrated natural sources of astaxanthin. This encapsulated form is water-dispersible: astaxanthin, fat-soluble in its natural state, is carried by a modified corn starch matrix that allows homogeneous dispersion in aqueous media. To date, no published human study compares the absorption of this form with that of the oils and oleoresins used in the trials. A blend of natural tocopherols protects the pigment from oxidation within this matrix. The guaranteed assay covers total free astaxanthin, the sum of its isomers. The all-trans isomer is predominant at batch control.
Astaxanthin belongs to the carotenoid family (plant pigments), which the human body does not make itself. In healthy adults, controlled trials measure a rise above placebo in the amount of ultraviolet light needed to redden the skin. That measurement is made under ultraviolet exposure conducted in a laboratory. That result, measured in humans, earns its place in the formula.

Black Garlic
Abg10+® (Garlace®) is an aqueous extract of aged black garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L.). The process combines controlled temperature and humidity, followed by water extraction. It is an ageing process involving the Maillard reaction, without microbial fermentation. The extract is standardised through an organosulfur compound profile that includes S-allyl-cysteine (SAC). It is also the material evaluated in the controlled trial conducted in adults with hypertension. The selected material uses maltodextrin as a carrier. It retains a characteristic aroma and taste, with less pungency than fresh garlic.
Black garlic comes from the same bulb as the garlic used in cooking, after ageing. That ageing removes the pungent compound of raw garlic. In adults being followed for raised blood pressure, a controlled trial records a favourable change in readings taken at home. That result, measured on the aged bulb itself, earns its place in the formula.

Cocoa Flavanols
CocoActiv® is a cocoa bean (Theobroma cacao) extract standardised to at least 30% cocoa flavanols. Among these native polyphenols, epicatechin is the most studied. The extraction process preserves the flavanol fraction that industrial cocoa processing, particularly roasting and alkalisation, largely degrades. This specification provides consistent content from batch to batch. Powder with no excipient.
Cocoa flavanols are plant compounds the body does not make, and that reach it through food. In healthy adults, a controlled trial measures arteries that dilate more as blood passes through them and stiffen less. Further trials in women find skin that reddens less after controlled ultraviolet exposure, and fainter wrinkles. These results, obtained in humans on vessels and skin alike, are what earn them a place in the formula.

Collagen Types I and III
Peptan® B 2000 LD provides additive-free hydrolysed collagen peptides of types I and III with an average molecular weight of 2,000 daltons and instant solubility. Hydrolysis breaks the chains into short peptides, found in human blood as di- and tripeptides after intake. The ingredient provides collagen-specific amino acids, particularly glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are scarce in other dietary protein sources. Manufactured in France at Rousselot's Angoulême site.
Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in the body; type III sits alongside it in skin and tendons. In adults, pooled controlled trials measure more hydrated, more supple skin and shallower wrinkles after oral supplementation. In women past the menopause with reduced bone density, a controlled trial records a rise in that density at the spine and the femoral neck. These results, measured in humans, are what earn type I and III collagen a place in the formula.

Creatine
Micronised creatine monohydrate (200 mesh). Micronisation reduces particle size to an ultrafine level, which favours dispersibility in solution and dissolution speed at the time of preparation. The monohydrate form is the most scientifically documented among all available creatine forms. Creatine is a molecule naturally synthesised by the body from arginine, glycine and methionine, stored primarily in skeletal muscle. Pure raw material. No excipient.
Often associated with weight training, creatine is a molecule that muscle, heart and brain use to renew their energy quickly. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine). Measurements taken in muscle show a store that fills gradually, which makes regular intake the condition of the effect. That maintained store is what earns creatine its place in the formula.

Curcumin
Meriva™ is a patented complex of turmeric-derived curcuminoids and sunflower-lecithin phospholipids, standardised to 18-22% total curcuminoids. These polyphenols give the turmeric rhizome (Curcuma longa) its characteristic orange colour. Extraction with food-grade ethyl acetate yields a native extract at a 30:1 ratio. The resulting complex is carried on microcrystalline cellulose (E460(i)). Turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic tradition for millennia. As curcumin is naturally fat-soluble and poorly absorbed on its own, the phospholipid carrier is an integral part of the ingredient. Preservative-free.
Curcumin is a plant compound from turmeric, a spice used in Indian cooking. In adults, pooled controlled trials measure, in the blood, a drop in an inflammation marker and a rise in the defences against oxidative wear. Other trials, run in adults with worn knee cartilage, record less pain and easier everyday movement. Those measurements, obtained in humans, are what earn it a place in the formula.

Glycine
Glycine is the smallest and simplest of the amino acids. It accounts for roughly one third of the amino acids in collagen and provides one of the three building blocks of glutathione, the antioxidant that cells manufacture themselves. Depending on your profile, it may be present in your formula in two forms, both counted in the displayed dose. Added as a dedicated bioactive, it comes as free-form L-glycine: the amino acid on its own, not bound to another compound. The material selected is European Pharmacopoeia grade, with an assay between 98.5 and 101.5%. Delivered through magnesium, it comes as magnesium bisglycinate, a salt in which two glycine molecules are bound to a magnesium atom.
Glycine is an amino acid, a basic building block of proteins. In adults dissatisfied with their sleep, the trials find faster sleep onset and nights rated as better. In the laboratory, glycine lowers body temperature in animals, a signal that accompanies falling asleep. That result, measured in humans, is what grounds its place in the formula.

Iodine
Potassium iodide (KI) spray-dried onto a maltodextrin carrier, which accounts for most of its mass. Potassium iodide provides a fixed, known ratio between the salt and the iodine it contains, where seaweed extracts vary from batch to batch. This dilution carrier allows a microgram-scale dose to be distributed evenly throughout the formula. Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function, and to normal cognitive function.
The body does not make iodine: the thyroid, a small gland in the neck, captures what food provides and concentrates it into its hormones. Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. Its useful window is narrow in both directions: too little and too much alike disturb the gland's work. That role is what earns iodine its place in the formula.

L-Theanine
Aqueous extract of green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis L.), standardised to a minimum of 40% L-theanine (HPLC). L-theanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it does not form part of the body's proteins. In nature, it is found almost exclusively in tea leaves. Extraction uses water alone, with no hexane, and concentrates 25 kg of leaves into 1 kg of extract. The theanine obtained is therefore the plant's own: no synthetic theanine is added. The remaining 60% is the natural green tea matrix, around 18% catechins (including 3 to 6% EGCG) and 0.3% caffeine. The leaves are harvested in China.
L-theanine is tea's characteristic amino acid, the one that gives the infusion its savoury taste, known as umami. In healthy adults, pooled controlled trials record a faster response on attention tasks, shortly after intake. After 50, a placebo-controlled trial finds the same gain from a single intake, and better accuracy in working memory (holding information in mind). These results are what earn it a place in the formula.

XanMax® 2505 is a Tagetes erecta flower extract produced at a 400:1 extraction ratio and standardised to at least 25% lutein and 5% zeaxanthin. Lutein is a carotenoid of the xanthophyll family that naturally concentrates in the macula, the central area of the retina responsible for fine vision. The human body cannot synthesise it, so it must be obtained through the diet.
The eye stores lutein, a yellow pigment, around the point where sight is sharpest. That store can be measured in humans without a blood sample. Pooled trials pair lutein with zeaxanthin, a closely related pigment, and measure that store denser in adults whose eyes are healthy. In young healthy adults, a placebo-controlled trial also records a faster return of sight after glare. Its place in the formula rests on those human measurements.

Omega-3 (EPA+DHA)
AvailOm® 50 High EPA is a lysine salt of omega-3 fatty acids, manufactured in France by Evonik Rexim. The free fatty acids are bonded to L-lysine obtained through fermentation. This ionic structure makes them water-soluble: their absorption no longer depends on bile secretion, which classic oils require. It also gives them an oxidation resistance that holds for several years without any additive, where liquid oils turn rancid. Dioxins, PCBs, heavy metals and aromatic hydrocarbons are controlled against European regulatory limits.
EPA and DHA are two omega-3 fatty acids that the formula supplies together. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA).

Selenium
L-selenomethionine, an organic form of selenium where the selenium atom replaces sulphur in methionine, an essential amino acid. This form exactly replicates the selenium naturally present in food (cereals, Brazil nuts, legumes). Unlike inorganic forms (selenite, selenate), selenomethionine is recognised by intestinal amino acid transporters, providing significantly higher oral bioavailability. Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Selenium contributes to the normal thyroid function. In laboratory work, this mineral sits at the heart of a small family of enzymes, the selenoproteins. In adults, controlled trials measure a rise in these selenoproteins in the blood after oral supplementation. That role is what earns it a place in the formula.

Sulforaphane
Sulfodyne® is a broccoli seed extract (Brassica oleracea var. italica) patented by Ingood by Olga, standardized for free, stabilized sulforaphane. Most broccoli extracts supply glucoraphanin, an inactive precursor that gut flora must hydrolyse to release sulforaphane, a conversion that depends on the microbiome and on gastric acidity. A patented stabilization process delivers the isothiocyanate directly in its active form, with no intermediate enzymatic step. European seed origin, manufactured in France.
Sulforaphane is a sulphur molecule that cabbage and broccoli release when they are chewed. In adults exposed to air pollution, controlled trials measure a rise in the urinary elimination of unwanted compounds after oral supplementation. A placebo-controlled trial also records faster thinking and better short-term memory in healthy older adults. These results, measured in humans, are what earn sulforaphane its place in the formula.

Taurine
Synthetic taurine, a non-proteinogenic sulphur amino acid. Unlike the 20 protein amino acids, taurine is not incorporated into proteins: it remains free in tissues. It naturally concentrates in the heart, brain, retina and skeletal muscles. The body synthesises it from cysteine, and its dietary sources are almost exclusively animal. Obtained by chemical synthesis, it is chemically identical to natural taurine.
Taurine is an amino acid found in abundance in the human body. Energy drinks have given it a stimulant reputation that belongs to their caffeine. In adults, pooled controlled trials measure lower blood pressure and less fat in the blood. The same trials report that the body responds better to sugar. These results, measured in humans, are what place it in the formula.

Vitamin B6 (P5P)
Active form of vitamin B6: pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P) monohydrate, diluted on maltodextrin, its only declared carrier. P5P is the vitamer enzymes bind to: it serves as a coenzyme for more than 100 enzymes, particularly in amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. Its activation route proceeds through phosphorylation by pyridoxal kinase, without the additional oxidation step that pyridoxine requires. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The body relies on food each day for its vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. In laboratory work, it assists the enzyme that mobilises glycogen, our stored sugar. It is also needed to build part of the body's own vitamin B3 from tryptophan, an amino acid in proteins. That everyday role is what earns it a place in the formula.

Vitamin B9
Vitamin B9 as calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), stabilised crystalline form. 5-MTHF is the biologically active form of folate, directly usable by the body. Unlike synthetic folic acid, it requires no enzymatic reduction by MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase), an enzyme whose activity is reduced in a significant portion of the population due to common genetic polymorphisms. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and to the normal function of the immune system.
Vitamin B9, also known as folate, is one of the vitamins the body cannot make for itself. Folate contributes to normal blood formation. In laboratory work, the bone marrow, which produces blood cells, draws on it continuously to build each new cell. Men and women need it throughout adult life, well beyond pregnancy. That service to the blood is what earns it a place in the formula.
