No marketing spin, just the real science behind the ingredients that actually matter. Learn their story, what makes them powerful, and how NUYU puts them to work.


Collagen (Marine & Bamboo)

The Science

Hydrolysed marine collagen peptides have a smaller size, so they’re more bioavailable (absorbed faster).

What To Look For

Hydrolysed peptides, Type I collagen, paired with supportive cofactors like Vitamin C.

What To Avoid

Cheap powders bulked with fillers, or collagen that doesn’t state the source/type.

NUYU Difference

Marine Collagen + Bamboo, Cogniskin, and Radiant+ deliver bioavailable peptides + bamboo silica, boosted with Vitamin C.

Background: Collagen is the scaffolding of your body — it holds skin, hair, nails, and joints together. From your mid-20s, natural production starts to drop, leading to wrinkles, weaker joints, and slower recovery. Not all collagen is equal: bovine sources mostly give you Type II, better for joints, while marine collagen (Type I) is closer to the type found in human skin and connective tissue. Pairing collagen with silica (from bamboo) plus Vitamin C helps your body actually use it.


Magnesium

The Science

Magnesium citrate and glycinate are well absorbed orally; topical magnesium chloride works through the skin to replenish stores directly.

What To Look For

Clear form on the label — citrate, glycinate, or chloride — not just “magnesium.”

What To Avoid

Magnesium oxide on its own, which has very poor absorption.

NUYU Difference

Capsules (Magnesium Citrate) plus sprays for sleep, recovery, and daily balance.

Magnesium powers over 300 biochemical reactions in the body — everything from energy production to nerve signaling to muscle relaxation. Yet it’s one of the most common nutrient gaps worldwide, thanks to modern diets and stress draining levels faster. Deficiency can show up as poor sleep, cramps, low energy, or anxiety. Different forms matter massively for absorption.


Ashwagandha

The Science

Studies show ashwagandha helps regulate cortisol (your main stress hormone) and may support sleep, mood, and cognitive clarity.

What To Look For

A standardised extract showing % of withanolides.

What To Avoid

Non-standardised powders that give you no idea of strength.

NUYU Difference

Ashwagandha & Black Pepper Complex + Brain Fuel+ — high-potency extracts combined with black pepper for absorption.

Known as the “king of adaptogens,” ashwagandha has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years. Traditionally given to improve resilience, restore vitality, and balance stress responses, it’s now one of the most researched herbs for stress and mood. Its power comes from active compounds called withanolides.


Probiotics

The Science

 Different strains = different benefits. E.g.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus: gut barrier support + mood resilience.
Bifidobacterium lactis: digestion + bloating relief.
Probiotics don’t stay in the gut forever — consistent intake is key.

What To Look For

Products that name the strains and give CFU counts (billions, not vague “blend”). Bonus if combined with prebiotics (fuel for the bacteria).

What To Avoid

“Probiotic” without strain details, or formulas claiming permanent colonisation.

NUYU Difference

Gut Biotic+ (19 billion CFU + inulin) and Pro Biotic 10 Billion — strain-specific, clinically aligned, with prebiotic support.

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that affect digestion, immunity, even mood. Stress, antibiotics, and processed diets can knock this delicate balance out, leading to bloating, discomfort, and reduced resilience. Probiotics are live “good bacteria” that help restore balance — but not all strains do the same job.


Hyaluronic Acid

The Science

Orally taken HA has been shown to improve skin hydration and elasticity and to support joint comfort when paired with collagen.

What To Look For

High-purity HA with clinically relevant doses (not just sprinkled in).

What To Avoid

“Skincare-only claims that don’t apply to oral forms.

NUYU Difference

Hyaluronic Acid+ and Cogniskin — formulated with meaningful doses, paired with collagen and Vitamin C for synergy.

Famous in skincare creams, hyaluronic acid (HA) also works from the inside. It’s a molecule your body naturally makes to keep joints cushioned and skin hydrated. Levels decline with age, leading to dryness, stiffness, and dullness.


Omega-3 (EPA & DHA)

The Science

EPA supports inflammatory pathways, DHA is key for brain and eye structure. Both are critical for cardiovascular health.

What To Look For

High EPA/DHA content per capsule, sustainably sourced fish oil, ideally molecularly distilled for purity.

What To Avoid

“Fish oil” with little EPA/DHA, or products without sustainability certifications.

NUYU Difference

Omega-3 Softgels — concentrated, clean, and properly dosed for daily impact.

Omega-3s are essential fats your body can’t make itself. Found in oily fish, they’re critical for brain function, heart health, and inflammation balance. Modern Western diets tend to skew heavily toward omega-6 fats (vegetable oils), which can throw the balance off.


Ginseng

The Science

Linked to reduced fatigue, improved exercise performance, and support for focus under stress.

What To Look For

Standardised extracts with declared ginsenoside content.

What To Avoid

Non-standardised powders where potency is unclear.

NUYU Difference

Ginkgo & Ginseng + Performance First Complex — paired with other active botanicals for sharper results.

A root prized in Chinese medicine for centuries, ginseng is used as a tonic for vitality, stamina, and longevity. Modern research backs its role in energy metabolism and stress balance. Its power comes from ginsenosides, bioactive compounds that influence multiple systems.

We cut through the noise to bring you what actually works — in the right form, in the right dose, and paired for maximum effect. Because when the science stacks up, so do the results.
