Best Adaptogens for Strength, Stamina + Stress Relief

Do you suffer from adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalance, or chronic stress? There are healthier ways then cupcakes and caffeine to get you through the day. One of my favourite ways is by using ‘adaptogens’.

However, it’s important to know which ones you actually need rather than jumping on the adaptogen bandwagon. Therefore, we have compiled an adaptogen guide to help you understand the qualities of some of our favourite adaptogens, which are also the most soothing and nourishing for the body.

Is Collagen Vegan?

Collagen is built from 18-20 amino acids with over 30% being formed from just three key amino acids (glycine, proline and hydroxyproline). Up until now, products on the market claiming to be vegan collagen formulas tend to contain vitamin C as their only active ingredient or simply provide insufficient amounts of these three key amino acids from synthetic sources. 

Our Collagyn collection was the first vegan collagen UK supplement range to provide not three but five key collagen specific amino acids.

Blended to perfection to create a velvety smooth, deliciously luxurious and delightfully healthy chocolate experience, brought to life by a pinch of pink Himalayan salt.

What is MCT oil?

MCT oil is perfect for the times in your day when you could do with a little more fuel in the tank. MCTs are saturated fats which rather than being stored as fat, are quickly absorbed and converted into ketones which provide instant fuel to body and brain cells.

The real buzz about coconut oil is attributed to the type of saturated fats that this plant oil contains. These saturated fats, also known as triglycerides, are categorised into groups according to the length of the carbon chains they contain.

The Difference Between Cacao and Cocoa

Both cacao and cocoa are sourced from Theobroma Cacao (‘food of the gods’) - one of the most loved and beautiful trees on the planet. This is where the cacao fruit grows, and inside these treasured cacao pods lie the ‘golden cacao beans’, which are used to create both cacao and cocoa.

The difference between cacao and cocoa is mainly to do with the type of processing involved. Find out more about the differences and benefits of one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.
