HIKING
Cordyceps Sinensis
Ophiocordyceps sinensis
A high-altitude fungus used by Tibetan Sherpas for centuries. Acts as a natural vasodilator — increasing oxygen delivery to cells and boosting endurance at elevation. The Chinese credited it with three Olympic world records in 1993.
DEEP SLEEP
Phosphatidylserine
Phospholipid · Cell membrane
A phospholipid found in every cell in your body. Suppresses evening cortisol — the stress hormone that keeps your brain switched on at midnight. No melatonin grogginess. Just your natural sleep architecture, optimised.
SCIATICA
Alpha Lipoic Acid
ALA · Universal antioxidant
A mitochondrial antioxidant with a unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Reduces oxidative stress around compressed nerves and has shown measurable improvement in neuropathic pain in clinical trials. Barely known outside research circles.
CISSUS
Cissus Quadrangularis
Hadjod · Bone setter plant
Used in Ayurvedic medicine for 5,000 years as the "bone setter plant." Accelerates fracture healing, protects joint cartilage, and reduces inflammatory markers. At 1000mg this is the highest dose available on the UK market.
DEEP SLEEP
Schisandra Berry
Schisandra chinensis
A five-flavour berry from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Adaptogenic — meaning it balances cortisol levels rather than forcing sedation. The result is a wind-down that feels earned, not induced. Completely absent from mainstream sleep supplements.
HIKING
Chlorophyll
Chlorophyllin · Oxygen catalyst
The molecule that makes plants green is also a proven red blood cell booster in humans. Increases oxygen-carrying capacity and improves delivery at the cellular level. Nobody else is putting this in a hiking supplement. We are.
