Imagine a probiotic bacteria that doesn’t just improve your gut but skyrockets energy, shrinks fat, boosts muscle, and heals your gut at the same time!
Introducing TWK10 EnergyBiotic
The only probiotic strain scientifically proven to help you lose fat, lessen fatigue, increase energy, enhance muscle, and amplify exercise performance.
It’s not just a probiotic…it’s an EnergyBiotic!
TWK10 EnergyBiotic powers your performance
Whether you’re an athlete or just athletic…
Competing in or completing your first 5K…
Getting stage ready or gently strengthening your muscles…
We searched the scientific literature and found the most effective, advanced compound available to promote gut health and your unique performance goals.
TWK10 EnergyBiotic is the only probiotic backed by human studies to…
Increase energy and exercise performance by up to 42%! [1]
Balance body composition
Lower body fat
Enhance grip strength [2]
Optimize muscle growth and strength
Boost balance and walking speed
Decrease abdominal fat
Minimize inflammation [3]
Fight fatigue at the cellular level
Promote a healthy gut environment
Did you know low muscle strength is linked to a 134% increased risk of death from any cause? [4]
Aging doesn’t have to be a slow decline.
Disability, dysfunction, and premature death are not mandatory.
TWK10 EnergyBiotic is backed by multiple studies to strengthen your muscles, your mind, and burn fat at the same time.
“...TWK10 significantly elevated…exercise performance…and improved the fatigue-associated features correlated with better physiological adaptation. The change in body composition shifted in the healthy direction for TWK10 administration groups...which showed that body fat significantly decreased and muscle mass significantly increased.”
– “Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum TWK10 on Exercise Physiological Adaptation, Performance, and Body Composition in Healthy Humans,” Huang et al., 2019, Nutrients
TWK10 has postbiotic power, too
Postbiotics are one of the newest fields of gut microbiota study.
But…what are they?
Along with probiotics, postbiotics are gut-balancing compounds that create robust benefits for your digestive system, immune function, and, in the case of TWK10 EnergyBiotic, your performance. [8]
Research in healthy adults found that the postbiotic function of TWK10 led to...
A 33% increase in endurance [3]
Significant decreases in inflammation
Positive changes in body composition
Increased short-chain fatty acids* Known for their anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, liver protective, neuroprotective, immune balancing, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protective qualities [9]
Beneficial shifts in the gut microbiome
Plus, animal studies using TWK10 have shown...
Lower body weight by up to 7.5% [10]
As much as a 4.81-fold improvement in exercise performance!
Up to 26.6% decrease in total cholesterol and lower triglycerides
1.72-fold increase in mitochondria-rich muscle fibers
Strengthened bone quality
Healthier vitamin D levels [11]
Improved learning and memory abilities
Improved learning and memory abilities
Increased liver and kidney function [12]
This might sound like a minor detail…but specificity matters.
L. plantarum TWK10 versus unspecified L. plantarum is the difference between a probiotic that works, backed by dozens of scientific studies…
…compared to one with questionable results. [13]
Consider this analogy: A Chihuahua and a Doberman are both canines but aren’t the same breed or “strain” of canine.
They are obviously very different in their behavior and efficacy in accomplishing certain objectives, e.g., being a lap dog versus a guard dog.
Comparing L. plantarum to L. plantarum TWK10 is like comparing a Chihuahua to a Doberman.
Only L. plantarum TWK10 can help you accomplish your goals to lose fat, build muscle, increase endurance, and enhance energy.

Impaired memory [1]
Decreased cognitive ability [2]
Poor mood [3]
Imbalanced immune function
Increased risk of infectious disease [4]
Vascular inflammation
Increased risk of cardiovascular disease [5]
Higher risk of sarcopenia - involuntary loss of muscle mass [6]
Emotional dysregulation [7]
Low libido [8]
Cravings & weight gain [9]
Metabolic syndrome [10]
Hormonal imbalances [11]
Decreased fertility & ability to conceive [12]
"In addition to elevated risks of chronic diseases, short sleep duration is strongly associated with decreases in cognitive performance...
...impairments in several cognitive domains can be observed even after short-term sleep restriction" [13].
Nature Journal, October 2021
Add 4 Pills To Your Night...And Extra Years To Your Life.
Sleep deprivation has deadly consequences, especially for women.
You might feel tired today, but over time, your health takes an enormous hit.
The most impactful illnesses and disasters of the 21st century are linked to lack of sleep.
Incredibly, a follow-up investigation of the space shuttle Challenger disaster named staff sleep loss as a possible cause [14].
The risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer, particularly the increasingly prevalent colorectal cancer, increase with suboptimal sleep [15, 16].
And women are affected more than men.
Females with disturbed sleep have greater chances of cardiovascular disease, increased insulin, hypertension, and inflammation compared to males [17].
Mental health also suffers—symptoms of depression, anxiety, psychosis, and stress perception worsen with sleep loss. Those with insomnia, for instance, have a two-fold risk of developing depression compared to those without the condition [18, 19].
Imagine 8 Restful Hours Instead Of 5 Restless Ones. A Calm Mind Instead Of Racing Thoughts.
The best part? No Rx hangover.
Human Optimization Lab's Sleep may support:
Non-habit forming REM sleep without the side effects of Rx drugs [20]
Healthier balance of non-REM and REM sleep patterns [21]
Sounder sleep versus waking up tired before your alarm clock [22, 23]
Increased sleep time [22]
Faster transition from awake to asleep—no more tossing & turning [22]
Alleviation of insomnia, specifically related to age [22, 24, 25]
Less chance of waking during the night [26]
Reduced symptoms of restless legs syndrome [27]
Antioxidant balance and anti-inflammatory effects [28]
Reduced anxiety [29]
Healthier circadian rhythms, even in the presence of unavoidable light at night [30]
Production of your body's own master antioxidant, melatonin [31]
Fewer obsessive thoughts that keep you awake [32]
Sleep's dream team:
Melatonin & your mitochondria
When you think of antioxidants, what comes to mind? Most of us imagine berries, dark chocolate, or vitamins C and E. But the real antioxidant all-star? Melatonin. Melatonin is an incredibly potent and unique antioxidant. Why? Unlike other antioxidants, it's created by your mitochondria and plays enormous roles in optimizing their function...and your energy levels [33].
Ingredients Based On Science, Not Social Media.
Sleep is formulated with nutrients and doses proved effective in scientific studies…and only those nutrients.
We don’t believe in proprietary blends or hidden excipients.
Learn more about our transparent, evidence-based ingredients.
Magnesium (Magnesium Glycinate)
Magnesium aids sleep in multiple ways, yet aging is a risk factor for magnesium deficiency. Magnesium relieves muscle tension [35] and is an N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) antagonist and GABA agonist, meaning it gently reduces neuronal excitability and promotes neuronal relaxation.
Potassium (Potassium Glycinate)
Sleep is divided into two phases, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) and five separate stages! This organization is called sleep architecture, and potassium is best known for supporting these patterns thanks to its role in regulating the intricate physiology of potassium channels in the nervous system [36].
B6 (Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate)
Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP), the biologically active form of vitamin B6, is a cofactor for kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) and kynureninase (KYNU), two key enzymes in the conversion of kynurenine to tryptophan [38]. In turn, we use tryptophan to make both serotonin and melatonin [39].
Herbatonin® (Plant Melatonin)
Does melatonin leave you feeling drowsy throughout the morning? Interestingly, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study from MIT found 0.3 mg of melatonin to be the ideal dose for people with insomnia over 50 [24]. When compared to the pharmacological dose of 3 mg, the 0.3 physiological dose restored sleep efficiency without remaining elevated into the daytime.
L-Theanine
L-theanine is a non-protein amino acid abundant in green tea, well known for its relaxing effects and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier [40]. Once in the brain, l-theanine blocks glutamate receptors and enhances GABA and dopamine, resulting in reduced neuro-excitability and increased feelings of relaxation [41].
L-Tryptophan
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that plays an integral part in nervous system health and is the precursor to serotonin, a key hormone for mood regulation (43). Clinical studies of tryptophan-deficient diets show that low intake of this essential amino acid results in increased depression, anxiety, and poor emotional processing [44].
L-Serine
L-serine is a non-essential amino acid studied for its remarkable neuroprotective effects [47]. Researchers have hypothesized that dietary L-serine may be responsible for the large centenarian population in Ōgimi, Okinawa, due to their exceptionally high intake of L-serine through foods such as seaweed, tofu, and pork. [48]. The average Ōgimi woman eats over 8 grams of dietary L-serine daily, while her American counterpart only gets 2.5 grams [49].
5-HTP
5-HTP is an amino acid produced from tryptophan and is a metabolic intermediate to serotonin and melatonin. 5-HTP has been studied for its anti-depressant, anxiolytic, and sleep-promoting effects. Several neurodegenerative diseases have been associated with low levels of 5-HTP, including Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, and Alzheimer's [54].
Myo-Inositol
Myo-inositol is a fascinating but commonly underconsumed compound primarily found in organ meats. It was once considered a B vitamin, but its classification changed when endogenous creation from glucose was discovered in the kidneys, liver, and brain.
Chamomile Extract (Matricaria Recutita)
For hundreds of years, chamomile has been one of the most trusted, aromatic sleep herbs. It's properties include anti-anxiety, stress relieving, and anti-insomnia. It's also beneficial to the immune and digestive systems and the liver [60].
What people say about Sleep
I have struggled with sleep most of my life, and for the last 10 years have tried many different supplements after finally stopping all sleep medications. Some of these supplements have helped, but I have been using Sleep and find that it combines all the different supplements I have tried into one! It works beautifully, it not only helps me ease into sleep quickly, but when I wake in the middle of the night, I can fall back to sleep. I wake up feeling relaxed but not groggy. I am loving this supplement!!

Sovereign Labs - Colostrum LD® Powder, Organic Vanilla Flavor - 50g Sample bag
£10.00
Colostrum powder
Colostrum-LD® is the only substance clinically proven to heal and prevent Leaky Gut Syndrome.
Most physicians agree that Leaky Gut Syndrome is a primary cause of chronic disease.
The LD Difference: Colostrum-LD® remains biologically active at the cellular level with maximal effectiveness (up to 4X more effective than regular colostrum).
Colostrum-LD® is the only colostrum certified to contain a minimum of 25-30% Immunoglobulins, 1.5% Lactoferrin, 1.5% Growth Factors and 4.5-5% PRPs (colostrum’s most powerful bioactive component).
Sovereign Laboratories takes a great product (colostrum) and makes it a superior product (Colostrum-LD®). Our proprietary in-house Liposomal Delivery (LD) system is an applied coating which allows colostrum to readily dissolve in liquids and ensures the colostrum will bypass digestion; will be transported through the bowel wall; will circulate throughout the body; will reach the organs and cells; and remain bioavailable at the cellular level. “Liposomal Delivery makes colostrum (and other nutrients) up to 1,500 % more bioavailable” (Robert R. Milne, MD); this makes Colostrum-LD® the most effective colostrum available. Without LD, colostrum loses most of its effectiveness. The LD Difference means that colostrum products from Sovereign Laboratories do what they say. Sovereign Laboratories stands behind its money back guarantee.
Expect Results:
Colostrum does not oxidize in storage.
Colostrum is not digested (digestion destroys colostrum’s bioactivity).
Colostrum components are delivered through the bowel wall into the blood stream to reach all organs and cells wherever needed.
Colostrum components transport through the cell wall to assist in RNA and DNA repair; stem cell initiation and differentiation; facilitation of cellular growth and repair; infection prevention; and identification of damaged and diseased cells.
COLOSTRUM-LD® has been shown to help:
Boost, balance, and maintain unsurpassed immune function
Eliminate harmful pathogens and fight infection
Prevent and eliminate diarrhea from infectious causes
Suppress over-reactivity to environmental pathogens and toxins
Protect and heal GI and stomach lining (Leaky Gut Syndrome)
Increase Natural Killer (NK) cell activity
Increase muscle strength and stamina; speed recovery after exercise or injury; burn fat; and maintain blood glucose homeostasis
Provide anti-aging benefits
Effective Use
Colostrum is a food, not a drug or medicine. It is safe, non-toxic, non-allergenic and has no side effects.
Bovine Colostrum is safe, non-toxic and can be consumed in any quantity without side effects or drug interactions. It contains special enzymes that prevent its immune and growth factors from being digested. An article written by Robert Preston, ND, President of the International Institute of Nutritional Research, states, "Bovine colostrum is safe. Colostrum contains an unprecedented combination of nutritional factors with which to fortify the immune system. It is so harmless, it has been prepared by Nature as the first food for infants, intended as their total diet for the first 24 hours." He further states, "It would be hard to imagine any nutritional substance more natural or beneficial than colostrum. It is safe for internal consumption by children, adults and animals."
How much should be taken and how often?
You should take enough colostrum to obtain results you desire; this amount varies from person to person. If you are not seeing results with colostrum, you are not taking enough. For healthy adults who want to maintain a healthy immune system and prevent Leaky Gut Syndrome, 2 capsules (or 1 teaspoon powder) twice daily are recommended. For anyone whose has compromised health situation, GI or digestive health issues, auto-immune conditions, inflammatory conditions, cancer, heart disease, is recovering from an injury, wants to get rid of allergies, or detects a cold or flu coming on, 4 capsules (1 tablespoon powder) twice a day are recommended. For athletic use and anti-aging, 10-20 grams daily optimizes growth hormone levels which translates to 2 heaping tablespoons of powder twice a day.
The dosage can then be lessened to a maintenance level as long as it continues to produce results. Colostrum has a sixteen hour half-life. It should be taken twice a day on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Colostrum's benefits are cumulative. The longer and more consistent the use, the greater the benefits.
Most people feel better right away, yet about one in five first-time users experience a detox event or "healing crisis," consisting of flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache coughing up phlegm, skin rashes and low-grade fever. These are called Herxheimer reactions and typically last only a couple of days. The body is ridding itself of long-accumulated toxins, locked in the body's tissues and fat deposits that have suppressed the immune system and encouraged disease. This is normal, and not a reason to stop taking colostrum. You should reduce your dosage to a minimum amount (one capsule per day, or 1/2 teaspoon) until the body adjusts, and then increase your dosage as desired to achieve optimal results.
Colostrum is not just for adults, and remarkable results have been observed in infants and children. Colostrum's test is in the undeniable health of children who receive colostrum and breast milk from their mothers. These children experience less illness, increased mental acuity and have stronger, more vibrant growth. If infants are not breastfed or not breastfed for at least two years, colostrum supplementation is an option. Because children have a tendency to catch colds and illness from peers in daycare and school, colostrum supplementation in these situations will help immensely. Colostrum powder tastes great and is advisable for children who are unable to swallow colostrum capsules.
We can't forget our beloved pets. Veterinary use of bovine colostrum with aging and/or ailing animals (mammals) has proven to be very beneficial. Its ability to halt disease is well documented; aging pets with arthritis or joint problems are particularly responsive to colostrum. And most pets love the taste of colostrum.
It’s important for each one of us to take responsibility for our own health. Like the “Sovereign” in our company name, we believe in individuals taking “sovereign” charge of their health and well-being. If you are convinced by claims, testimonials, or even research stating that a product will stop disease, you must make certain that there is also supporting research showing that the product does not destroy body tissue, interact with other drugs or supplements, or create harmful side effects in the process. Colostrum-LD® is the only clinically proven substance which heals and prevents Leaky Gut Syndrome and does not cause harm to the body.
Effectiveness of Colostrum
This depends on its quality and how it is processed!
Research has shown that colostrum which is water-soluble is more easily assimilated. If you are taking colostrum which is only partially soluble, you will not get the full benefits. Colostrum which has been frozen cannot be made water soluble and it must be specially micronized in order to be soluble. Simply empty a capsule into a glass of water, cover and shake. It should dissolve quickly.
Tests on several different brands of colostrum have shown that colostrum processed with excessive heat will lose most of its biological activity. This is especially true of colostrum tablets. The heat generated when tablets are formed is so high that it severely compromises colostrum's efficacy.
Colostrum that comes from pasture fed herds, who eat healthy green grass produce better milk and colostrum than cows that are fed processed foods.
It is also very important that colostrum is standardized by taking it from large numbers of healthy cows. This insures the maximum possible amount of immune factors. Colostrum that is not standardized should be avoided.
Some colostrum is manipulated to boost immunoglobulin levels. Recent research, however, has shown that higher percentages of immunoglobulin actually diminish colostrum's effectiveness in combating infection. Therefore, our conclusion is that the most effective colostrum is that which is gently processed, but otherwise left with the balance of its immune and growth factors as nature intended.
Let the Buyer Beware!
Not all colostrum is processed in accordance with these strict guidelines.
Currently no standards exist for the collection and processing of colostrum. Some colostrum contains inexpensive "filler" products such as whey by-products, which severely reduce its effectiveness. Also, if the colostrum is not collected during the first 24 hours after the birth of the calf, it will be missing many of the important growth factors.
To help you assess different brands of colostrum, below is a summary of the standard you should look for in high quality colostrum:
It should be full water-soluble.
It should come only from certified healthy, grade A diary cows (after the needs of the calf are met).
It should be collected only from the first milking after the second birth, to ensure maximum biological activity.
It should come only from cows which are pasture-fed, and certified to be hormone, pesticide and antibiotic free.
It should be filtered and homogenized to break down the long-chain proteins (immunoglobulins) for better assimilation.
It should be mixed with the colostrum from thousands of other cows to standardize and maximize the immune factors.
It should be processed to remove excess, unwanted fat, and dried with added heat. This process is significantly more costly and time-consuming than regular high-temperature processing.
It should be laboratory tested for E.Coli, salmonella, pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics, other pathogens, a verification of high platelet count (a sign of active "friendly" intestinal bacteria) and immunoglobulin content.
There are only a few producers of bovine colostrum which meet the above standards. Read labels carefully and investigate the company. Another way to find a high-quality colostrum is to contact the Center for Nutritional Research (CNR), www.icnr.org, an independent, non-profit research organization. The CNR can provide, free of charge, a list of manufacturers whose colostrum meets our guidelines.

Fountain Of Youth
The New England Journal of Medicine (the most prestigious medical journal in the world) reported that the most effective means to stop or slow the aging process would be to replace the hormonal factors that cause us to grow normal cellular structures in the body. After maturity (between the ages of 16-20), the level of growth hormone that our body naturally produces dwindles. We notice this as gravity, unmercifully, takes its toll. Our bodies lose muscle tone and elasticity of the skin, causing us to sag and wrinkle. We lose bone mass and shrink, while our hands, feet, nose and ears get larger. We would all do almost anything to stop this aging process but we may want to think twice before we consider isolated hormone replacement sources and are not identical to the hormones made by the body. Synthesized and isolated hormones can produce body imbalances and side effects that can be life threatening!
There is another answer. A natural answer. Colostrum's perfectly balanced combination of immune and growth factors, administered in human clinical trials with aged subjects, safely increases lgF-1 to pre-puberty levels, producing increased muscle weight and strength. IfF-1 and GH in colostrum also has been shown to tone muscles, melt body fat, return elasticity to the skin and increase bone density. Colostrum, life's first food, has given those of use that are growing older, real hope that there may be a Fountain of Youth after all!
Everything in life springs forth from DNA - flesh, bones, hormones, nervous system, a baby's first word, the euphoria that comes with first love, the ability to learn to speak a foreign language. All of this originates from DNA. This silent intelligence of life, DNA, attracts the chemicals it needs to form new DNA which is an essential part of cell division. DNA is also able to manufacture RNA, which is nearly identical to DNA and participates as its active counterpart. RNA (the active intelligence) is the traveler sent to produce the proteins needed to build and repair the body. Dr. Benjamin Frank, whose research on youth and aging, showed RNA to be one of our most critical anti-aging factors. His research showed that lgf-1 (found naturally in colostrum) is one of the only substances known to stimulate the growth and repair of these key nucleic acids, DNA and RNA.
Colostrum has been shown to help maintain blood glucose levels to serve the brain. Also, IgF-1 and GF, some of the smallest particles known, have been shown to cross the blood brain barrier to help with nerve synapses in the brain, enhancing mental acuity and increasing serotonin levels, to brighten our moods. And just possibly, as we age, this might be one of the most important reasons to take a serious look at colostrum.
The aging process is accelerated if our natural immune defenses are depleted through infection and toxic assault. Colostrum can help by strengthening and modulating our immune function. Colostrum’s unique immune and growth factors cannot be obtained through an other source. It is unequaled in stimulating cellular growth and repair and promoting optimal immune function. It can best be summed up by a statement about colostrum from the world’s leading medical anthropologist and New York Times best selling medical author: Robert Heinerman, PhD “No greater promise of health can be made for a natural product so beloved as this. It can be truthfully said that colostrum nicely maintains the physical elegance of life, which believe it or not, also happens to be its meaning as well.”

Ape Nutrition
APE Nutrition - Grass-Fed Collagen powder 400g
£30.00
Being a major component of the human body (it makes up roughly 30% of total body protein), collagen gives structure to our tendons, ligaments, bones, skin, hair, nails and the gut lining. Our powder is a combination of type 1 & 3 collagen sourced from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle free from hormones, antibiotics or exposure to chemicals. Hot and cold soluble, as well as odourless and flavourless, our collagen peptides can be mixed into a wide variety of drinks or meals. Each bag contains 400g's (40 servings).
HOW TO USEConsume 10-20g per day. Hot and cold soluble, as well as odourless and flavourless, our grass-fed collagen peptides can be mixed into a wide variety of drinks or meals.
WHEN TO USECollagen can be taken at any time throughout the day. Personally we like to add 10g’s to our morning coffee and an additional 10g’s to post workout shakes. Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for human beings for 99% of our existence on this earth. It’s only recently that the really nutritious parts of animals like organs and bones have dropped out of our diet. Our ancestors believed that to strengthen parts of their body, it was important to consume the corresponding part of a healthy animal. Interestingly, this is just now being validated by science. Research conducted at the University of Edinburgh in animal models has shown conclusively that when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organ of the consumer in high concentrations. Although not an organ, collagen supports this research, as when consumed it travels to our skin, connective tissues, gut lining, bones and hair to strengthen them.Our ancestors also appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. And because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how nutrient dense the rarer parts of an animal are and would prise these over muscle meats. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of eating nose-to-tail has somewhat been forgotten. Parts of animals that were once highly sought after are now rarely consumed and generally people no longer enjoy the taste. We created our nose-to-tail line to help people reintroduce these ancestral superfoods, loaded with nutrients in an easy to consume and flavourless way.Nutritional Information: One Serving ( 2 Scoops / 10g) - Kcal: 36.8 - Fat: 0 - of which Saturates: 0 - Carbohydrates: 0 - of which Sugars: 0 - Fibre: 0 - Protein: 9.2 - Salt: 0.14 Amino Acid Profile (Typical G AA / Per 100g) Alanine 8.1 - Arginine 8.4 -Asparagine 6.6 - Glutamine 12.4 - Glycine 20.6 - Histidine 0.8 - Hydroxylysine 1.2 - Hydroxyproline 11.4 - Isoleucine 1.5 - Leucine 2.9 - Lysine 3.4 - Methionine 0.6 - Phenylalanine 2.1 - Proline 11.5 - Serine 3.4 - Threonine 1.9 - Tyrosine 0.5 - Valine 2.4Ingredients: 100% Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen Peptides *Our collagen powder is sourced from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle free from hormones, antibiotics or exposure to chemicals.
FAQ's
WHAT IS COLLAGEN? Collagen is a major component of the human body, making up around 30% of our total body protein. It’s the main structural protein in connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons. It’s also found in bones, nails, hair and makes up roughly 80% of our skin.
WHY TAKE COLLAGEN?Generally as people age, their collagen depletes, which can cause deterioration of skin and connective tissues. Topping your collagen levels up through diet counteracts this depletion and therefore supports strong connective tissues, bones and skin elasticity.
IS YOUR COLLAGEN GRASS-FED AND FINISHED?Yes, we source our collagen from certified grass-fed and finished cattle that roam freely outdoors on pasture and are not exposed to antibiotics, hormones or any artificial chemicals.

Wild Blueberry (Bilberry) Powder Benefits
High in antioxidants – Wild blueberry powder is high in antioxidants and has four times (4x) higher antioxidant amounts than cultivated blueberries. Antioxidants are key nutrients our body needs on a daily basis because they help protect our organism from oxidative stress (a major cause of cardiovascular, cancer, and autoimmune diseases). Because of their high concentration of antioxidants, wild blueberries are one of the key ingredients for a successful heavy metal detox and cleansing diet as recommended by Anthony William in several of his best selling Medical Medium books (e.g., Cleanse to Heal, Liver Rescue, and Life-Changing Foods).
High in natural fibers – Wild blueberry powder is an excellent source of dietary fibers, which are very important in maintaining our health. Dietary fibers are best known for their importance in regulating our bowel and gut health, help to control our glucose levels, and lower cholesterol levels.
Good source of Vitamins A, C, E, & K – Wild blueberry powder is also a very good source of Vitamins A, C, E, & K.
Other health benefits – Many studies have extensively evaluated the health benefits of adding blueberries to our diet. These studies concluded that eating blueberries regularly may help protect against cancer and aging, lower and control blood pressure, prevent diabetes by controlling glucose levels and improve memory and brain function. All in all, blueberries are one of the healthiest foods out there and one of the few that have been studied so thoroughly.

Review(s)
Instant relief in a bottle!
This product you'll feel working immedeately when you apply it. Lovely fresh, 'green' and delicately sweet scent. It freshens, cools, rejuvenates and firms the skin. Perfect for dull, damp, polluted or warm environments ... it will instantly take you to the green freshness and cooling breeze of the forest ...at least that's how it feels to me :-) It feels so soothing and calming on the eye, brow and temple area. If you're a type that gets easily overheated, agited or angry - or if you easily get headaches, you might wanna try the Open Sky Eye Serum for a treat.
Bright, alert eyes - Refreshing, enlightening, firming
I do believe this has helped lighten up the former dark circles under my eyes, and helped with the puffiness - my eye area just overall looks better! It's just one of those things that happens gradually, and then suddenly you notice the new beauty progress that catches your eye in the mirror :) I love putting this all over my face, not just the eye area. It is very firming, and clear, and I have gotten compliments on how good my skin looks with this on. Very clarifying, and I love how refreshing this feels because of the mint in conjunction with all the other wonderful ingredients. When I want to feel expansive, enlightened, and aware, I put this on. Indeed, during application, it is best not to put it too close to the eye line, otherwise the eyes can start watering. However, sometimes I actually enjoy the bit of tearing up this provides, because it 'washes' my eyes into a brighter green colour - like aromatherapy for the eyes! Still, just putting it along the eye socket bone is nice enough :) Eye area looks great with this on - so bright and alert. A little definitely goes a long way, half a drop then spreading it onto eye areas fulfills its use perfectly. Massaging it between the brows and onto forehead temple also feels exceptionally relaxing. Nadine is such an awesome creator. Looking and feeling truly beautiful. Thank you
Lovely...but am I using it wrong?
I received my order yesterday and am in love with the true fragrance. The oil feels good and I can already see some improvement in my dark circles and puffiness. It does burn the eyes a bit. Will I adjust? [Libations comment: use this lovely serum around the eyes, but not on eyes or eyelids; it is potent and a little goes a long way]
hollowness under the eyes
I'm writing to thank you, Nadine, for yet another incredibly effective product -- Open Sky Eye Serum. I had contacted you personally about the hollows or sagginess I was noticing under my eyes and you suggested this product to me. It works! The skin under my eyes has most definitely pulled up or grown collegen or somehow regenerated because I no longer have the sagging definition that I had before using the product. I would tell anyone who is aging and losing some of the fullness underneath their eyes to try this serum. I've been using it for probably two months and the results are noticeable and incredible. Natural plant essences rock!! Thanks Nadine. P.S. I'm surprised no one else has reviewed this product. People try this, you'll be happy you did.
so many uses in one bottle
this is an amazing product. it really heals skin around the eyes. I love it. I use it everyday and the smell is divine. I even mix it with best skin ever and a wonderful overall moisturizer. thank you
next day eyes
oh dear. i used this one the day of my sister's wedding. the night before was late and rowdy and i woke up with puffy eyes. within 10 minutes of using open eye, the skin around my eyes was not puffy anymore. the pictures looked amazing. it is my secret weapon after a long late night! thank you, thank you, thank you.
smells great
love this product. so natural, so fresh, so gentle. i use it everyday.
helps after a day of computer work
hi there, i wanted to write a review of this product. thank you so much. i work in a dark office, under florescent lights and by a computer all day long, every day. At the end of the day, my eyes feel strained and bloodshot. I come home and use open eye sky serum and my eyes feel the relief they crave all day. Thanks a lot.
My Eyes Look Amazing!
I am currently wearing the Open Sky eye Serum, my eyes have been puffy and dry lately, they look and feel amazing! (I just got it in the post this morning) I've never been a fan or addicted to beauty products such as Lancome, Clinique, etc...but this is it. I've found my product. How can anyone feel guilty about putting 100% natural products on their body? I feel like you create magic!
WOW * WoW * wow!
I wanted to write to let you know that I ordered your "Open Sky Eye Serum" with my last order & all I can think of to say is that it is AMAZING! I actually intended to place my 'regular' order for dewdab & hand cream - but the Open Sky Eye Serum seemed to be 'calling' to me...so I 'splurged' & included a bottle of it in my order... I've been using it for about 1 week & WOW * WoW * wow! I LOVE it, I just use a drop or two to gently massage around my eyes-both in the morning & at night...strangely I find it both 'awakens' me in the morning & 'calms' or soothes me at night - perhaps that has to do with its effects on the pineal gland(?) Whatever the reason - I will not be without this amazing serum again! Thank you+*+*+*+ for the gifts you share with the world ~ Becky
