Jam-packed with the very best botanicals, extracts and organic ingredients, Tonik's collection of supplements come in conveniently dosed, travel-friendly capsules. It's focused purely on delivering a clean range of health-boosting and radiance-inducing natural supplements that make committing to a healthy lifestyle easy. Ideal for those that shudder at the mere thought of swallowing a tablet, the {No.2 Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules} are tasteless and ultra-smooth, making them incredibly easy to take. Harnessing what they consider to be the Holy Grail of natural supplements - the fermented juice contains vitamins B1, B2, and B6; biotin; folic acid; and vitamin C - apple cider vinegar is believed to help fight bacteria, improve heart health and increase energy levels. Still not convinced? Check out its credentials! Organic. Check. Gluten-free. Check. Non-GMO. Check. Free from preservatives. Check!

Bringing our love of mushrooms out of the dark and into the light, KIKI Health’s {Organic Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract} bottles the antioxidant abilities of the unique fungus. Spore or less a staple in traditional Chinese medicine, the edible mushroom has a long history of use, perhaps due to its high level of bioactive substances and believed benefits for the body and mind. Made with 100% pure, organic lion's mane mushroom extract, these capsules are nutritionally dense, to say the least. The formula is derived from 100% fruiting bodies to guarantee a richer presence of these nutrients: from polysaccharides (beta-D-glucans) and diterpenoids (erinacines A-K, P and Q and hericenones A-H) to phenols. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, you'll be glad to know these supplementary capsules are also made without artificial colours, preservatives, sweeteners and fillers.

Harnessing the most bioavailable form of turmeric, Solgar’s {Full Spectrum Curcumin} is packed with beneficial flavonoids and curcuminoids – both plant-based antioxidants that help to shield the body from free radical attack. Used for centuries in Ayurvedic traditions because of its numerous health benefits – primarily its perceived ability to boost brain function – this super-charged form of curcumin can withstand the impact of stomach acid, making it able to benefit all of the body. 185 times more bioavailable than standard curcumin, these superior capsules are free from both gluten and dairy and one-to-two daily can help to protect from the harmful effects of aggressors.

Not a supplement in the traditional sense, but a sure fire way to support your everyday wellbeing, The Nue Co.'s {Magnesium Ease} is a lavender and arnica-infused magnesium body spray that helps to relieve muscle tension and melt your stress away. Alkalising the body, magnesium helps to restore the body’s natural pH balance, reducing lactic acid, which is partly responsible for delayed onset muscle soreness (aka, post-exercise pain!) A necessary electrolyte for proper hydration, magnesium also helps to hydrate the body, minimising tightness and cramping. Used medicinally for centuries, arnica oil is great for treating the pain and swelling associated with bruises, aches, pains and sprains, while lavender oil imparts a blissful, tension-relieving scent. If you've been overdoing the virtual barre or pilates classes, this one is for you!

Harnessing the most bioavailable form of turmeric, One Ocean Beauty's {Marine Collagen} is a powerful nutricosmetic designed to combat skin ageing from the inside out, coupling nutrition and cosmetics. Inspired by a Mediterranean diet, these supplements feature hydrolyzed marine collagen sourced from deep water fish using Blue Biotechnology (a lab-controlled process that bioferments marine microorganisms to obtain high-quality, high-performance, non-GMO and sustainable, natural molecules while preserving the environment and marine life, as there is no harvesting or large-scale extraction). With a superior absorption rate, fish collagen (I and III) is combined with vitamins, nutrients and essential fatty acids to combat irritation, inflammation and oxidative stress which lead to premature ageing.

The closest thing you can get to a time capsule for your skin, Rejuvenated Ltd.'s {Veggiecol} is the vegetarian alternative to the brand’s bestselling Collagen Shots. Collagen synthesis starts to slow down at around age 25 (eeeeek!!!) and reports show that by the time you hit 45, collagen levels have fallen by as much as 30% – which is where these skin-boosting supplements come in. Combining a unique, patented extract of collagen, hyaluronic acid, açaí berry, plumping hyaluronic acid and vitamins B and C, these tablets work to promote softer, smoother skin.
