We’ve updated our formulas to add in 2 key ingredients to help support better absorption.* Why? Because better absorption means better access to key nutrients.*

Here’s what we added:

Coconut powder (found in Recovery): Coconut Oil Powder helps to improve bioavailability of vitamins and nutrients.* High quality coconut oil is known to help support the digestive process for nutrient absorption.* In addition, coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid (MCFA), which helps support your digestive system to absorb nutrients from the foods and vitamins we consume, including Recoop.*

STUDIES INCLUDE:
"Water-in-oil organogel based emulsions as a tool for increasing bioaccessibility"here
"Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.: Arecaceae): in health promotion and disease prevention"here
"How does coconut oil affect cognitive performance in Alzheimer patients?"here

Black Pepper (found in Balance) : The piperine found in black pepper helps support absorption, making our ingredients, such as Curcumin and Turmeric, more readily available to be used by your body.* One study on Black Pepper reports Piperine's bioavailability enhancing property is also partly attributed to increased absorption as a result of its effect on the ultrastructure of intestinal brush border, essentially saying piperine helps support nutrient absorption from the foods you eat or vitamins you take through digestion.

STUDIES INCLUDE:
"Iron and Physical Activity: Bioavailability Enhance, Properties of Black Pepper (Bioperine ®)"here
"Black pepper and its pungent principle..."here
"Piperine: Old Spice and New Nutraceutical?"here

Here’s what we reduced and/or changed:

Balance:

L-theanine, Coenzyme Q10 and Ashwaghanda: We were able to decrease the amount of these ingredients based on customer feedback and with the knowledge that better absorption means fewer milligrams of higher potency ingredients can help support the same or better impact in your body.  

B6: We decreased the amount and switched it to a different form called Pyridoxine, which is a more efficient version of what we previously used (Pyridoxial). Our new B6 Pyridoxine supports better bioavailability and helps support gentle processing by your  liver.

Please note: A small batch of our upgraded formula were incorrectly labeled and shows B6 at 300mg rather than 25mg. Our new formula is confirmed to include 25mg.

Recovery:

L-theanine: We decreased this based on customer feedback and being able to use less for the same effect. We keep a higher amount of L-theanine in our Recovery formula than in our Balance formula to help support extra calm when going to bed.

Magnesium: We decreased the amount and switched to a different form: a chelated version of Magnesium that helps support better absorption in your body and overall efficacy, essentially meaning less of it delivers the same amount of nutrient. The new version is called Magnesium Gluconate whereas we used to use Magnesium Glycinate.
