Pectin-based gummies stand out for their soft, pleasant texture, offering an ideal medium for incorporating advanced functional ingredients.
Each variant has been carefully developed to address specific health needs:
Sweet Dreams: This variant containes pectin, Affron, melatonin and trehalose, creating a passionfruit-flavoured solution for restorative sleep.

Affron Eye, a saffron extract standardised to 3% crocin, provides powerful antioxidant protection for the retina, particularly beneficial for those exposed to prolonged screen time.

No Flame: Designed to tackle inflammation, this gummy is formulated with PEA (palmitoylethanolamide), delivering a sweet, harmonious taste while supporting the body’s natural anti-inflammatory processes.
Immunity Boost: A proprietary mushroom extract, Mushroom SD-3A, forms the core of this variant, which also includes trehalose and a coffee-mushroom flavour. The blend of Ganoderma lucidum, Grifola frondosa and Lentinula edodes is renowned for fortifying immune defences.
No Pain: Formulated to alleviate physical discomfort, this gummy incorporates PhytoCann BP WSG, a patented black pepper extract, offering targeted relief.
Vegan Beauty: Supporting skin health and radiance, this variant combines Zn Citrate 3-H2O and sodium selenite, delivering an effective beauty boost.
