There's no doubt that health and wellness are being prioritised more and more - and with this shift, supplements are taking centre stage as a way to elevate our health and offset the physiological stresses of everyday life.
Much like skincare however, the supplement market is totally saturated - with a million different brands, all promising to do better than the next - how do you know what to choose?
To me, Cymbiotika stands out for a few key reasons:
High bioavailability: Cymbiotika uses liposomal delivery systems to increase the bioavailability of their supplements, allowing for better absorption and utilisation by the body
Optimal ingredient quality: all Cymbiotika products are fully organic and carefully sourced to ensure maximum potency and efficacy
Purity: all Cymbiotika products undergo third-party testing for contaminants and heavy metals to ensure highest levels of quality and safety
Superior formulations: these supplements are meticulously formulated in collaboration with an advisory board of doctors specialised in regenerative medicine
Every product that makes it to our shelves is chosen with so much care, and Cymbiotika was no different. We only choose the best of the best.
Now, let's delve into each product...
1. Magnesium L-Threonate
Brain health and function, memory, focus, mood balance, CNS support
Magnesium is an essential mineral, and is required for 80% of the body’s metabolic functions - yet in the United States, approximately 65% of all adults are magnesium deficient. In New Zealand the estimate is 75%.
This supplement was designed by a team of scientists at MIT, and has been shown to increase brain magnesium levels much higher than any other form of magnesium. In fact, it is the only form of magnesium that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier.
2. Liposomal Elderberry Defense
Immediate immune support
This product has become my not-so-secret weapon against common colds, and I have not gotten sick once since I discovered it! When I feel that familiar throat tickle, sinus pressure, or generally feel run down - I take it for a few days, and I never get sick.
Elderberry contains high levels of chemical compounds called anthocyanidins, which support a healthy immune response. Elderberry also contains flavonoids that bind to the H1N1 human influenza virus, and H5N1 avian influenza. When bound, these flavonoids block the ability of viruses to infect host cells.
Overall, studies show that elderberry is a great natural remedy for improving cold and flu symptoms and recovery.
3. Glutathione
Antioxidant, age support
Liposomal Glutathione is a powerful, master antioxidant naturally produced in the liver. It protects the body against oxidative stress, and maintains healthy cellular function, both of which are age preventative.
4. Vitamin C (1000mg)
Daily immune support
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays a key role in immune system function, collagen production, and healthy ageing.
Cymbiotika's Liposomal Vitamin C supplement is derived from a blend of L-Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbate. To create the perfect synergy, they have added Biotin (Vitamin B7), a vitamin that supports the production of proteins and enzymes that are needed for healthy skin, nails and hair growth.
Liposomal delivery significantly improves the bioavailability of vitamin C (the rate at which it's absorbed by the body). In fact, its efficiency is close to the intravenous delivery of vitamin C in medical settings.
5. Molecular Hydrogen
Age support, targets gut inflammation, improves athletic recovery
The hydrogen molecule is the smallest molecule that exists, and acts as a powerful antioxidant within the body. Due to its minuscule size, it crosses cellular barriers and absorbs easily throughout the body.
As an antioxidant, hydrogen neutralises free radicals and reduces oxidative stress that contributes to inflammation and ageing.
This is done by adding elemental magnesium (tablets) to water, which then forms hydrogen gas forming hydrogen-rich water. This supplement produces 12ppm of Molecular Hydrogen per serving.
6. The Omega (DHA/EPA)
Brain, eye, heart, and skin health
I personally detest fish oil, so when I found this omega was formulated without fish products it caught my eye. It contains a DHA and EPA blend, alongside astaxanthin, sea buckthorn oil, and evening primrose oil.
DHA is a critical nutrient for the health of our brain, eyes, and central nervous system.
EPA on the other hand, is an anti-inflammatory that supports many biological processes, and supports heart health.
7. Supergreens
Immune support, gut health
This supplement is a bioavailable complex of natural plant compounds including chlorophyll, glucoraphanin, broccoli seed, and other super greens.
Designed to promote a healthy immune response, support gut health, and support healthy metabolism and energy levels.
8. Sleep
Sleep aid
I cannot recommend this supplement enough. It is hands down the most effective sleep aid I have ever used, and works every single time.
Key ingredients
GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) - An Inhibitory neurotransmitter produced in the brain of the human body that decreases activity in the Central Nervous System (calming)
Melatonin (1mg) - Melatonin is synthesized in the pineal gland. It is a hormone produced in response to darkness and plays a crucial role in regulating circadian rhythm.
L-Theanine - an amino acid that can significantly reduce anxiety and stress, improve sleep quality, maintain healthy brain cells, and promote cognitive function.
L-Tryptophan - an amino acid that can help to treat insomnia, depression, anxiety, and grinding of teeth while sleeping.
9. Golden Mind
Boosts cognitive function, focus, and calms CNS
Golden Mind is a blend of adaptogens and nootropics to support cognitive function, mental clarity, and focus.
Key Ingredients
Bacopa Monnieri Extract - can boost brain function, reduce ADHD symptoms, and relieve anxiety. This powerful plant is considered an adaptogenic herb because it can increase the body’s stress resistance.
Gotu Kola - has been shown to enhance memory, ease depression and anxiety, improve sleep quality, slow age-related mental decline, and delay the progression of conditions like Alzheimer’s.
Lions Mane Mushroom Extract - has demonstrated promising effects on increasing overall brain function. This powerful mushroom is known for enhancing neurite outgrowth, which can slow or reverse brain cell degeneration. Along with this, lion’s mane mushrooms can boost cognitive function, improve memory, and support mental health.
Rhodiola Rosea Extract - Rhodiola rosea is a natural compound that may help reduce mental fatigue, lower cortisol levels, and increase focus, memory, and mood.
