Beauty & Brains: November Launch Pad

Calm down

Calm & Focus with Zembrin & GABA features the stress reducing, mood enhancing properties of PLT Health's Zembrin, a novel, patented, clinically studied, and commercially successful extract of the South African succulent plant Sceletium tortuosum. Sceletium has been used as a mood enhancer and stress reliever by the Khoi-San of South Africa. Studies have shown that a 25 mg per day dose of Zembrin can reduce anxiety-related activity within two hours of administration.

Gut health trifecta

Meet Hilma’s newest product: The Daily Pre + Probiotic + Herbs! The company says its more than just a probiotic, they’ve been working for two years with a gastroenterologist to develop this daily dose of gut health that features a blend of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (probiotics), chicory root (prebiotic), ginger, ajwain and more to support the gut and reduce bloating.

Two new designs

Designs for Health just announced the launch of Whole Beauty Collagen and Collagen + MCT.

• Whole Beauty Collagen is a daily powder featuring hydrolyzed collagen peptides and Lustriva, a patented blend of stabilized biotin and silica, to provide comprehensive support for hair, skin, and nails.

• Collagen + MCT is a keto-friendly powder featuring hydrolyzed collagen peptides from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine sources and medium-chain triglycerides (C8 & C10 MCTs) from coconut oil. MCTs metabolize differently than other fats; the body converts them into ketones, even when not on a ketogenic diet, and provide a quick source of energy that most cells and tissues can use. They are especially known for fueling the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles.

Wag about NAD

Zesty Paws and ChromaDex just entered the longevity category with the debut of Healthy Aging NAD+ Precursor, featuring ChromaDex's industry leading cellular health ingredient, Niagen.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme that plays a vital role in cellular processes including mitochondrial function, cellular energy production, and DNA repair.

The Healthy Aging NAD+ Precursor pack from Zesty Paws is available at Chewy.com and includes one bottle of 60 capsules of Niagen and one jar of the brand's bacon-flavored Pill Wrap Probiotic Paste.

The line will expand in early 2024 with additional distribution and the launch of a powdered format.

Hair positive

O Positiv has launched its newest product, WILLO Hair Growth Support Capsules.

The supplements are designed to support healthy hair growth, enhance hair follicle health and help manage the effects of stress on hair. The formulation features star ingredient Lustriva, a patented and clinically-studied complex of biotin, arginine, and silicon known for its superior absorption into the body. Other ingredients include saw palmetto, a key ingredient that's been shown to help manage the body's levels of DHT contributing to healthy follicles; Holy basil, an adaptogen traditionally used to support healthy stress management; Vitamins E & C, antioxidants that combat oxidative stress in the body and scalp, supporting hair follicle health; as well as a blend of vitamins and minerals that help fill nutrient deficiencies that may cause thinning and brittle hair: selenium, iron, vitamins D3 & B12, folate and zinc.
