Gotu Kola is a natural, adaptogenic, aquatic botanical with active ingredients that stimulate the production of collagen and keratin, which support elasticity, hydration, tensile strength, and repair skin damage. Studies have also shown strong antioxidant and cognitive enhancing properties as well.

Polypodium Leucotomos, also known as Calagula, is a fern that protects keratinocytes, which represent 90% of the cells in the epidermis or outer layer of the skin. The plant contains a high abundance of glycosides that have demonstrated UV protective effects that help repair oxidative damage to the skin caused by sunlight exposure and supports healthy cellular regeneration and radiance. Research has also shown potential induction of p53 proteins responsible for protecting DNA.

Lycopene is a natural carotenoid, found in vegetables and fruit. It is a powerful antioxidant and UV absorber which also increases production of other carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, and has photoprotective properties that protect cells from harmful UV radiation, while supporting both radiance and hydration.

Astaxanthin is found in abundance in microalgae and possesses a photoprotective UV structure. It provides healthy inflammation response, supporting cell regeneration, and promoting skin’s radiance. It is also beneficial for cardiovascular and joint support.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic plant that is used to support resistance to stress by environmental conditions. The plant contains bioactive compounds called withanolides, which play a role in healthy aging and inflammation response and immune support. It also aids in maintaining homeostasis, which supports cognition, focus, and positive mood response.

Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian Frankincense, has been used for over 3,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine. The gum of the plant contains resins and essential oils that are adaptogenic, with strong synergistic mechanisms when combined with Ashwagandha. The most bioactive ingredient of the resin is responsible for inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes, which play a crucial role in inflammatory processes throughout the body and brain. Through proper mediation of inflammation response, Boswellia allows the body to adjust to stress and to improve cognition and focus.

Green tea is widely recognized for supporting longevity and healthy aging with regular consumption. Green tea is high in bioactive polyphenols, such as the natural catechin known as ECGC. These polyphenols have many targets within the body, with strong clinical research to support both cardiovascular health and a healthy inflammation response, two key indicators of longevity and healthy aging. Recent clinical studies have shown that polyphenols, such as ECGC, are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, providing neuroprotective effects that help with cognition during aging. Additionally, unlike synthetic versions, the natural caffeine from green tea delivers a slow, metered release of caffeine, and has natural synergistic ingredients such as L-theanine that counteract “jittters” or anxious feelings associated with caffeine intake. Caffeine stimulates the release of neurotransmitters and has been shown to aid in improved energy levels, cognition, focus, and reaction time during the presence of stress.

Acerola Cherry contains a natural abundance of Vitamin C, as well as flavonoids (such as quercetin) and polyphenols. Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant for skin health that aids in protecting skin from UV rays and supports hydration, while also playing a key role in collagen and keratin production. Recent research has shown that flavonoids and polyphenols, derived from Acerola cherry, fight harmful free radicals and inhibit advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation, which supports longevity and cognition during healthy aging.

Amla, Phyllanthus embilca, also known as Indian Gooseberry, is an adaptogenic plant that has been used for over 3,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine due to its role in longevity and healthy aging. It contains high levels of natural bioactive compounds such as tannins, alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and Vitamin C. Amla contains a high natural abundance of low molecular tannins, which research has shown can promote healthy aging of the skin by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are responsible for photoaging, dryness, and uneven pigmentation.

Peppermint contains a variety of bioactive compounds, such as rosmarinic acid and several flavonoids, primarily eriocitrin, luteolin and hesperidin. Recent research has shown that rosmarinic acid promotes healthy aging, by increasing intracellular antioxidants and repairing damaged cells.
