Supplement Ingredients
Black Pepper Extract
Black Pepper Extract is a standardised extract, prepared from the dried fruits of Piper nigrum (black pepper) and contains a minimum of 95% Piperine. It is clinically studied for its ability to enhance the bioavailability of the nutrients. Not only is it an anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant, but it is also recognised as a bioavailability enhancer. Piperine is also a molecule that inhibits certain enzymes that would normally attack other molecules. Due to this, it was chosen to assist NMN to metabolise.
Luteolin
Luteolin works to increase the bioavailability of PEA. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. The flavone luteolin has numerous useful actions that include: anti-oxidant, microglia inhibition, neuroprotection, and memory increase. Many researchers have reported that luteolin extract has been proven to improve the attention in students and the elderly with brain fog. Our luteolin is derived from vegetables and is 100% vegan.
Magnesium
Magnesium is the eleventh most abundant element by mass in the human body and is essential to all cells and some 300 enzymes. Magnesium ions interact with polyphosphate compounds such as Adenosine triphosphate, Deoxyribonucleic acid and Ribonucleic acid. Hundreds of enzymes require magnesium ions to function.
New Zealand Bee Pollen
Bee pollen is a ball or pellet of field-gathered flower pollen packed by worker honeybees, and used as the primary food source for the hive. It consists of simple sugars, protein, minerals and vitamins, fatty acids, and a small percentage of other components.
New Zealand Grape Seed Extract
Grapes are sourced from New Zealand's finest vineyards that produce dark grape colour varieties, predominately dark black and dark red grapes. Given New Zealand's unique geographical location that allows the lowest carbon monoxide gas particles of pollution per cubic centimetre of air in the world and a climate that has four distinct seasons, New Zealand grown grapes are considered the finest in the world with many medicinal properties.
New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels
Fresh New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels are extracted from licensed marine farms in the South Island of New Zealand's pristine coastal waterways. Extracts contain omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, minerals and carbohydrates. Laboratory and animal studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that are important for maintaining joint cell structure and function. Consuming New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels is considered to be environmentally sustainable as the harvest method causes no environmental damage to other marine life unlike the environmental damage that can be caused by over fishing.
New Zealand Mānuka Honey
Mānuka honey is a monofloral honey produced from the nectar of the mānuka tree, Leptospermum Scoparium. The word mānuka is the Māori name of the tree. Mānuka honey is produced by Apis mellifera bees foraging on the mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium). It grows uncultivated throughout New Zealand. Mānuka honey is markedly viscous. This property is due to the presence of colloid. Nectar from Mānuka produces a honey boasting unique medicinal and antibacterial qualities.
New Zealand Organic Flaxseed Oil
Organic Flaxseed Oil is a colourless to yellowish oil obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). The oil is obtained by using an expeller pressing process. Flaxseed oil is a natural source of omega 3 fatty acids. It is sourced from New Zealand’s finest Flax Seed growers and is 100% certified organic.
New Zealand Organic Rosemary Extract
Rosemary Extract is sourced from New Zealand's finest rosemary growers. Rosemary is a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which are thought to help boost the immune system, improve blood circulation, enhance memory and concentration and help prevent brain aging.
New Zealand Propolis
Propolis is a resinous mixture that honey bees produce by mixing saliva and beeswax with exudate gathered from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. It is used as a sealant for unwanted open spaces in the hive. Propolis is used for small gaps (approximately 6 millimetres (1⁄4 in) or less). When foraging, worker bees primarily harvest pollen and nectar, while also collecting water and plant resin necessary for the production of propolis.
New Zealand Royal Jelly
Royal Jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used in the nutrition of larvae and adult queens. It is secreted from the glands in the hypopharynx of nurse bees, and fed to all larvae in the colony, regardless of sex or caste. During the process of creating new queens, the workers construct special queen cells. The larvae in these cells are fed with copious amounts of royal jelly. This type of feeding triggers the development of queen morphology, including the fully developed ovaries needed to lay eggs. Studies have suggested that royal jelly is likely to enhance collagen production, vasodilation, in reducing premenstrual syndrome effects, and as a postmenopausal treatment in humans, and against Alzheimer's disease in animals.
Vitamin B2 as Riboflavin
Vitamin B2 as Riboflavin is a vitamin found in food and is required by the body for cellular respiration. Food sources include eggs, green vegetables, milk and other dairy product, mushrooms, and almonds.
Palmitoylethanoamide
Palmitoylethanoamide (PEA) works in the body on the endocannabinoid system and is used to reduce pain and inflammation. It is also an immunomodulatory, analgesic and is neuro protective. Ideally PEA should be consumed with food (preferably an evening meal containing 10g of fat/oil). This will enhance the rate of absorption. Scientific studies have been undertaken to show the effectiveness of PEA for pain relief. Our micronised PEA is derived from sustainable palm oil and is 100% vegan.
