Benicaros® is a plant-based, patented ‘Precision Prebiotic’ fibre ingredient, which strengthens innate immune cells to respond faster, smarter and stronger, whilst consistently boosting the production of beneficial gut bacteria in every type of gut microbiome ecosystem.
A study investigated the prebiotic effects of three known dietary fibres, each with varying levels of structural complexity, on the intestinal microbiota of healthy adults. Results revealed that only Benicaros® consistently increased Short Chain Fatty Acids levels across individuals, compared to the other fibres1. Research also confirmed that Benicaros® has the ‘right specificity’ to reliably stimulate beneficial microorganisms and their metabolites, while producing less gas compared to traditional prebiotics2.

Univestin™ is a branded ingredient, manufactured in the US by Unigen. This product was discovered through Unigen’s PhytoLogix™ library, following the screening of over 1,230 medicinal plants to identify natural substances with COX and LOX dual inhibitory activity – COX and LOX are pro-inflammatory enzymes within the human body that trigger or heighten inflammation.
Univestin™ is an natural, plant-based, innovative ingredient that is a specially formulated, with extensive scientific research demonstrating that it may help to alleviate joint discomfort and pain1 rather quickly.
Clinical research using 80 participants (balanced by demographics such as age, gender and BMI), was conducted with the objective of examining the quick onset of a 1-week, daily supplementation plan.

According to research, Iodine is a vital nutrient for energy production, cognitive function, and overall vitality, helping to stay focused and energised throughout the day.
Research indicates that Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones which regulate the body’s energy-generating processes. A deficiency may lead to hypothyroidism, causing fatigue, weight gain, and low energy1. Research also indicates that thyroid hormone fluctuations may impair brain energy, causing memory issues, and difficulty concentrating. Maintaining optimal iodine levels may also prevent symptoms like depression and anxiety2.
Thyroid hormones are known to be crucial for efficient metabolism, converting carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from food into usable energy.

Zooca® Calanus® Oil, a Novel Food approved, rich oil from Calanus, offers high-quality nutrients beyond Omega-3. It features a full fatty acid profile, along with Marine Policosanols and Astaxanthin, naturally bound in wax esters. This unique composition is supported by research that highlights its benefits for metabolic health and healthy aging.
Sourced from zooplankton in the Norwegian Sea, the Calanus population regenerates annually, producing approx. 290 million tonnes. Of this, only 0.0005% is sustainably caught and harvested each year to produce Zooca® Calanus® Oil.
Calanus finmarchicus is a tiny crustacean, just 3-5 mm in length, existing in vast numbers. Positioned near the bottom of the food chain, it feeds on phytoplankton, obtaining energy from photosynthesis and supporting life further up the food chain.

Iodine plays a crucial role in energy production by supporting thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and energy balance in the body. PureSea®, a gold-standard, wholefood, seaweed ingredient, offers a sustainable, natural source of iodine. With just a small serving, PureSea® can deliver six EFSA health claims, including supporting normal thyroid function and energy-yielding metabolism, making it ideal for sports nutrition blends.
Thyroid hormones are key regulators of metabolism, the process by which the body converts food into usable energy. When thyroid hormone levels are normal, the body efficiently breaks down nutrients from food - such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins - into energy. However, low thyroid hormone levels, often caused by iodine deficiency, may slow metabolism, leading to fatigue and a lack of energy.
