So, What is Collagen?

Collagen is the main protein found in connective tissue. Collagen is commonly known as the “glue” protein and is the building blocks of skin, bones and connective tissues.

“But team Nutra, what are the different types of collagen?” Great question, not all collagen is created equal, this comes down to the size of the protein-peptide chains and the sequence of amino acids in each peptide chain. There are 16 different types of collagen found in humans and animals, and Types I and III have the greatest impact on skin, bones and muscles.

You may have noticed that we have collagen products specifically created to support different areas of the body; Collagen Body, Collagen Build and Collagen Beauty. The main difference between our collagens is the Bioactive Collagen Peptides (smaller collagen peptide chains) found in each one, which target collagen formation in specific areas of the body.

What is Collagen Made of?

Collagen is made of protein and amino acids. Collagen supports healthy skin, hair, nails, gut wellbeing, bones and muscles due to its glue-like nature. What is collagen if not versatile right?

This is what collagen is made of, and our specific products contain the best of the best sustainable collagen from marine and bovine sources. Along with wholefood synbiotic ingredients that further enhance the benefits of collagen powder. No fillers to bulk up the product, no artificial additives, and no cheap ingredients.

Further, the unique collagen peptides in our three collagens have all been researched through randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies - we certainly know how to improve collagen production in the body and we’ll sing it loud and proud. So there you have it, you’ll never have to wonder, ‘What is collagen’, or, ‘What is collagen made of’, you’ll be the new collagen expert when all your friends ask about the reason behind your glowing skin.

What is Collagen Good for?

Wondering what collagen is good for beyond beauty? The good news, there are many wonderful benefits of collagen and this is the reason behind the different types of collagen for specific purposes in our collagen range. So what are the benefits of collagen… we’re so glad you ask, collagen is great for:

Gut Health

Collagen contains a significant amount of beneficial amino acids like glycine, glutamine and proline, which support the lining of the intestinal tract as well as the stomach. The gut lining is also made up of connective tissue; collagen and vitamin C are known to support connective tissue, which also means support for the gut lining - just another amazing perk of what collagen is good for. We constantly get asked if gelatin is just collagen, as gelatin is also great for gut wellbeing, this is where we answer your question - no. Gelatin is not collagen and is a completely different collagen chain structure.

Bone Health

As we age our bone strength can diminish and become more brittle. Supplementing with collagen is a great way to improve collagen production and support your bone strength. Collagen Body is only the good stuff - pure type I and type III sustainably sourced collagen, yet it fully dissolves in hot or cold liquid whilst maintaining its benefits.

Hair and Nails

Collagen supports nail health by providing nail beds with the amino acid arginine, which helps in maintaining healthy, strong nails. If your body needs more collagen, it may result in brittle, weak nails.

Collagen is also an abundant source of protein, meaning it’s great for contributing to hair proteins which make up strong healthy hair. Our award winning Collagen Beauty also contains wholefood sources of vitamin C and zinc, which help to support healthy hair. The synbiotic ingredients in our Collagen Beauty and Marine Collagen Beauty provide plenty of building blocks for more collagen synthesis, we sure know how to improve collagen production here!

Muscle Growth and Support

Many people experience loss of lean muscle mass as the protein and collagen in our body breaks down due to ageing and lifestyle factors, hot tip, which we’re sure you knew was coming by now, this is what collagen is good for and one of the benefits of collagen. Collagen Build is a natural formulation specifically designed to promote body toning and strength by incorporating collagen for muscles. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals leading an active lifestyle or those seeking to tone, build, and repair their lean muscle mass.

How to Improve Collagen Production

When researching how and what are the benefits of collagen, the natural reaction we tend to think is, ‘where do I get my hands on some of this glowing magic and is it ok to take collagen every day?’ The great news, it is ok to take collagen every day and the consistency is actually one the key components to the effectiveness of taking a collagen supplement like Collagen Beauty, Marine Collagen Beauty, Collagen Body or Collagen Build. 96% of people who took Collagen Beauty for 60 days noticed a difference.

Other great ways to support healthy collagen is by the foods we eat and the protection we give it against any potential damage. Regular skin treatments like needling and light therapy can be great at supporting healthy skin. However great skin and collagen production starts within, eating a diet high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidant rich foods can further support your daily collagen supplement. For example, we have included wholefood sources of vitamin C, zinc and silica which help with the structure and function of connective tissue, promote healing, support gut health, further support collagen formation, and support healthy hair and nails.

What are the Benefits of Collagen?

Collagen consumed daily contains benefits for hair, skin, nails, gut wellbeing, bone strength and muscle support. This is due to the protein and amino acids found in collagen that support the drop in collagen production as we age.

What are the Different Types of Collagen?

There are 16 different types of collagen, type I and III have been found to be the most effective for hair, skin, nails and gut wellbeing. Type I makes up 90% of our body’s collagen. The type of collagen can also refer to the source, for example bovine (from cows) or marine (from fish).

Reason 1: Nutrient-Rich Goodness

One of the key differences between stock and bone broth lies in their nutrient content. Here’s a little fact you might be interested in (it certainly shocked us!)... Most chicken stock cubes don’t actually contain any chicken. Rather, they recreate its flavour with fillers, sugar, glucose, colours and preservatives. While so much information out there will tell you broth is made only from meat, make sure you are reading the labels as broth and bone broth are quite different.

While some other stock is typically made by simmering bones with some vegetables and aromatics for a few hours, bone broth takes it a step further by simmering bones for an extended period, sometimes up to 24 hours or more. This prolonged cooking time allows the bones to release more nutrients like collagen, gelatin, amino acids, and minerals into the broth, making bone broth a nutritional powerhouse that can support joint health, gut health, and overall well-being.

Our bone broth range follows a traditional recipe to ensure a nutrient-rich product. High quality bones are added to filtered water and apple cider vinegar (a technique to exact the maximum amount of nutrients) and then slow cooked for hours. Following this, the broth is strained to eliminate any impurities and excess fat is removed from the surface. To tailor the taste to various preferences, we incorporate premium, vegetables, herbs, and spices into the broth. For our bone broth powders, we employ a gentle refractance drying method to transform them into a convenient powdered form, ensuring that the nutritional integrity remains intact throughout the process. Interested to taste test the difference yourself? Try our best selling bone broth powders: Chicken Bone Broth Homestyle Original, Beef Bone Broth Hearty Original or Vegetable Broth Garden Veggie.

Reason 2: Gut-Friendly Goodness

Speaking of gut health, bone broth is often hailed as a gut-friendly elixir. The gelatin and collagen found in bone broth are thought to help soothe and heal the lining of the digestive tract, making it a soothing choice. Drinking a cup of bone broth in the morning before breakfast helps set your digestion up for the day.

Reason 3: Joint Support

If you suffer from joint pain or stiffness, bone broth might be just what the doctor ordered. The amino acids in collagen and gelatin (found in bone broth) are essential building blocks for healthy joints, cartilage, and connective tissue. Sipping on bone broth is an easy way to help support your health goals for bone and joint support.

Reason 4: Boosted Immunity

With its rich nutrient profile, bone broth is like a warm hug for your immune system. The amino acids and minerals found in bone broth can help support a robust immune response, keeping you healthy and resilient, especially during cold and flu season. So, swap out that canned soup for a nourishing bowl of bone broth next time you feel a sniffle coming on. Taste the range with our Best Selling Broth Bundle or browse our broth range for the perfect flavour match for you.

Reason 5: Versatility in the Kitchen

Last but not least, bone broth is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. While stock (cubes & liquid) is mainly used as a one-note, salty addition to soup, bone broth can not only be enjoyed on its own as a comforting beverage, but also for cooking liquid for grains like rice or quinoa, or incorporated into recipes for added flavour and nutrition. From savoury soups to hearty stews to flavorful risottos, the possibilities are endless with bone broth. Don’t believe us? Check out our recipe page for our delicious collection of broth recipes. Here are some of our customer favourite: 15 min Chickpea Curry, Homestyle Chicken Bone Broth Soup, Classic Beef Stew & Brothy Roast Potatoes.

Conclusion:

Making the switch from stock to bone broth is not just about upgrading your culinary creations; it's also about nourishing your body from the inside out. With its nutrient-rich goodness, gut-friendly properties, joint-supporting benefits, immune-boosting power, and versatility in the kitchen, bone broth is a delicious and nutritious addition to any diet. So, why not give it a try and see what all the buzz is about? Your taste buds and your body will thank you for it!

Why does chocolate cause breakouts?

Ok let’s not outright blame the chocolate. The association between chocolate and breakouts is an unfortunate combination of factors involving certain features of chocolate and how some bodies respond to them. The first thing to consider is the high sugar content of many chocolates. If you’re consuming high sugar chocolate, it will spike your blood glucose levels. High blood glucose can have the unfortunate side effect of feeding certain types of bacteria (including the bacteria involved in acne) and increase the risk of infection. It can also disrupt the gut microbiome, and whatever problems you are having in your gut will be reflected in your skin. High blood glucose also increases the amount of insulin your body produces which can also stimulate other hormones known as androgens, which can upregulate oil production, clog pores and cause skin congestion. Chocolate may also contain other ingredients that certain individuals may be sensitive to, including dairy milk, soy, low quality fats and artificial additives.

Our Collagen Hot Chocolate is low sugar and contains none of those ingredients. It’s all of the good stuff, and none of the problematic stuff.

So how is our Collagen Hot Chocolate beneficial to the skin?

Just in case it wasn't enough to simply make a delicious hot chocolate that wasn’t bad for your skin, we have gone a step further and made it actively beneficial to skin. Our Collagen Hot Chocolate contains collagen and vitamin C which supports collagen production in our own skin. It also contains magnesium which is great for hydration and relaxation. It’s the perfect way to unwind before the ultimate beauty sleep.

What is Matcha?

Matcha is a delicious tasting, powerfully nutritious green tea that originated in Japan and has been consumed for hundreds of years. It comes from the same plant as normal green tea (Camellia Sinensis) but is grown and harvested a bit differently. Regular green tea is cultivated and harvested in the sun, whereas Matcha green tea is moved into the shade for a period of time prior to harvesting (usually about three weeks). The loss of sunlight means that the plant responds by upregulating the amount of chlorophyll in an attempt to absorb more sunlight. This results in a higher antioxidant content, brighter colour and more balanced flavour. Matcha naturally contains some caffeine, but it comes as part of a comprehensive and complimentary nutritional profile that both energises and soothes.

Matcha Latte vs Coffee

Matcha and coffee both make great energy boosting, wake-me-up drinks and we certainly will never say anything negative about coffee (we love you), but matcha does have more benefits and a lesser chance of causing any side effects.

Slower, more sustained energy release

The way coffee (particularly black coffees) release caffeine can cause a quick spike in energy, adrenaline, and an increased heart rate. This can then result in an equal but opposite energy crash not long after, making you reach for another cup. Matcha, on the other hand, releases its caffeine more slowly, in a more sustained way.

‘Tired But Wired’ vs ‘Calm But Alert’

The way caffeine boosts energy is by rapidly crossing the brain barrier and blocking adenosine receptors, which blocks the feelings of sleepiness, and raises your body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate. This is a bit like revving the engine when you’re getting low on fuel. Matcha contains some caffeine that is also able to block the adenosine receptors, but the effect is more gradual and it also contains the amino acid L-Theanine, which can cross the brain barrier and promote relaxation as well as mental alertness. Matcha is like driving more economically so that you can make it to the next fuel station.

Not Addictive

If you accidentally miss your morning Matcha, there are no expected side effects such as fatigue, headaches or nausea. All of these are common side effects when skipping a coffee.

We’ve thought of everyone in the family, from protein powder for kids, protein for fitness fanatics, protein for pregnant mummas and everyone in between. We have completely broken down for you the differences between each of our proteins, their features and benefits, and who the protein powders are suitable for. So, no matter who you are and what you’re looking for in a protein, we’ve got the right one to suit your needs.

Why do people need protein powder?

Our protein powder for adults and protein powder for kids is a great way to make sure you’re reaching your daily intake of protein, vitamins and minerals. An adequate amount of quality protein is necessary for tissue building, repair, growth & maintenance of muscle mass and bones. It can be hard to make sure you consume enough of a variety of proteins and the best sources of protein for the body to consume and use - this is where gut friendly, vegan and gluten free family-friendly protein powders like ours come to save the day.

How is Nutra Organics Protein Powder Different?

The nutritional needs of each family member are always going to be different, so it’s only natural to want to find a protein powder for kids and a pregnancy-safe protein powder to suit the individual nutritional needs of each person. Nutra Organics has formulated the best protein powders for both the fitness and training family members and family-friendly protein powders for a wide range of needs.

Both our protein types contain sprouted and bio fermented pea protein, meaning it’s pre digested and gentle on your gut. Say goodbye to uncomfortable bloating! They also are complete plant proteins, containing all the essential amino acids, contain pre and probiotics to support your gut health and contain a wide spectrum of vitamins and minerals that have targeted benefits.

The Benefits of Thriving Family Protein

Clean Protein is the best powder to help you train, recover and tone.

If you’re training more regularly and wondering how much protein do I need in a day, well your needs most certainly go up when working out more often.

Is Protein Powder Safe During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding?

Not all protein powders are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so it’s always best to check. Our Thriving Family & Clean Proteins were designed for pregnant and breastfeeding mummas in mind and is the best protein powder for you if this is a requirement.

Taking Thriving Family is not only completely a safe protein during pregnancy, but also super beneficial. During pregnancy the body needs extra nutrients to replace all that is lost. Thriving Family, contains no artificial ingredients, amino acids or synthetic vitamins & minerals. This means that not only are the nutrients easily recognised and absorbed by the body, but as they are naturally occurring nutrients they are the safest and most suitable way to provide a growing body with the nutrients they need, and aren't associated with adverse reactions.

In saying this, we do advise on all our products to seek advice from your health care professional on taking our products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We only say so as we believe that every pregnancy is different, taking a toll differently on each individual body in vitamin, mineral and energy levels.

Protein Recipes for the Soul

Thriving Family and Clean Protein are the best protein powders for cooking with thanks to their delicious smooth blends and natural flavours. Some crowd favourite protein recipes for Clean Protein are the Ultimate Post Workout Smoothie and Clean Protein Nice Cream Sandwiches,

If you are still unsure as to the best protein powders for you, you can learn more via our FAQs on product pages or you can chat live on our web chat with any more questions you may have in your Nutra Organics protein powder search.

Figuring out how to parent is hard enough, and then you have to worry about nutrition! As if being the CEO of your busy family isn’t enough?! It’s a common struggle though, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that only 8.5% of children are getting enough fruit and vegetables. Poor nutrition has an immediate impact on growth, development and health of children. Understanding the right nutrition for your child will help prevent health problems later in life. So let’s get into it.

Nourishing children needs to be considered from two different angles. Providing the nutrition that they need to grow and thrive now, whilst also nurturing happy long-term relationships with food (and we understand that sometimes those two things can be at odds with one another). So how can we easily bring nutrition into our kids' diets? We are here to help.

Tips for ensuring optimal nutrition today

The best way to ensure you are giving your child a highly nutritious diet is to zoom out and think big picture. This means you don’t need to focus on a single meal or a specific food, but focus on the variety of foods you are regularly offering. Ensure your fridge and pantry are full of wholefoods from every food group. You know you have a healthy balanced diet if your weekly shop contains a full spectrum of colour and a variety of textures.

5 key nutrients to support growing bodies.

Protein- Proteins are the building blocks of body tissue, and can also be used as fuel for energy. A diet that doesn’t contain sufficient protein can slow growth and development. For an extra boost of protein try our Thriving Family range- a delicious plant-based protein & wholefood multivitamin blend with 17 vitamins and minerals to help every member of the family thrive.

Fibre - Fibre is vital for kids' nutrition as it aids digestion, prevents constipation, helps support a slower release of sugars in the body, supports a healthy gut and assists with nutrient absorption. You’ll find our Super Tummy kids product to be rich in fibre and contain powerful pre & probiotics for gut and digestive support.

Iron - Iron is incredibly vital but easy to become deficient in, especially for young children who may deplete their stored iron. Fussy eaters may reject iron-rich foods, and absorption can be challenging. Maintaining iron levels is essential for oxygen transport, growth, and cognitive function, as deficiency symptoms include weakness, fatigue, and loss of focus.

Calcium - Calcium is crucial in kids' nutrition for strong bones and teeth, essential for growth and development. It also supports other areas of wellbeing including mood, energy, nerve function and digestion. Adequate calcium intake during childhood lays the foundation for lifelong bone health.

B Vitamins - B vitamins are essential in kids' nutrition for energy production, brain function, metabolism, growth, and a healthy nervous system. B vitamin deficiency includes fatigue, confusion and depression.

Foods to include.

A rainbow of fruits and vegetables - rainbows made of edible plants are nature's way of letting us know that we are getting a great variety of vitamins, minerals, beneficial phytochemicals and fibre. It’s super pretty too, and we eat with our eyes!

High quality proteins, including organ meats - High quality proteins including eggs, fish, meats, legumes and grains are essential to include in your kid’s diets. This will ensure they are getting plenty of all the essential amino acids for all that growing they need to do. Organ meats (particularly liver) are also great to include, as they are a highly concentrated reservoir of essential minerals. Keep in mind that you only need one small serve of organ meats a week - it’s easy to overdo organ meats because of their nutritional potency. In this situation, less is more.

Healthy fats - Including good sources of healthy fats like oily fish, avocado, fresh olive oil, nuts and seeds will help reduce inflammation in little growing bodies and support brain development.

Foods to be mindful of

Salt - Being mindful of your child’s overall salt intake is important for a few reasons. A diet too high in sodium can increase blood pressure, put more pressure in little kidneys and develop taste preferences for saltier, more processed foods. You don’t need to avoid sodium all together (sodium is still essential in the diet). Just make sure it’s consumed in moderation.

Highly processed foods - Ensure that highly processed foods only make up a very small portion of your child's diet. We get it, some processed foods are unavoidable and trying to ban them completely would be quite isolating. Just make sure wholefoods make up the majority of your kid’s diet.

Some fish - Large fish, high up in the food chain (like shark, marlin and swordfish) can be high in mercury. This is something to be particularly wary of in small children because their little bodies will be more affected by it. Mercury is toxic and can interfere with brain development. Don’t panic if your children have a little bit - just try to limit exposures so that mercury doesn’t build up in their bodies. Low mercury, high omega 3 fish like salmon, sardines, trout and mackerel.

Tips for nurturing a happy long term relationship with food

1. Free reign of the snack draw

Ok hear me out. I’m not saying your little 3 year old gets free access to unlimited lollies and chippies all day (we all know that bad choices would be made if that was the case). Have a draw and a shelf in the fridge that your child has free access to during the day and fill it with healthy snack options. Encouraging some autonomy over food from an early age helps kids to feel confident when making food choices and gets them more in tune with their bodies and nutritional needs. Need some snack inspo?

Bonus benefit: more free time for you, as you will be relieved from your ‘personal snack servant’ duties.

2. Get kids included in food preparation

Being involved in food preparation helps kids of all ages build healthy relationships with food. Little kids love being included and they are far more likely to try new foods if they were involved in the preparation. And when kids are older and looking to head out on their own, cooking won’t seem like such a daunting task if they have been involved in the cooking at home from a young age. Need some recipe inspo? We have plenty of kid friendly recipes on our blog!

Bonus Benefit: By the time your kids are teens, you can enjoy a few nights off cooking. Personal chef anyone?? That's why we had kids right?!

3. Food isn’t just for eating

Including food in your day, outside meal time, can have a great impact on how kids feel about food overall. Encourage curiosity, enthusiasm and imagination by playing games that include food, reading books, and having happy conversations.

4. Mix it up

Offer a variety of foods so that your child gets used to seeing foods that are unfamiliar. Even if these new foods are regularly rejected at the start, it’s great practice for kids to be exposed to different foods. Long term this broadens their horizons, and makes them much more flexible human beings.

Bonus Benefit: That overseas holiday will become a little less terrifying if your kids are open to unfamiliar foods.

5. Don’t offer replacements

I know this one is hard! Your kids aren’t eating dinner, bed time is fast approaching and you really just want them to eat SOMETHING! But kids are wired to find our weaknesses and if we start offering them their ‘safe’ foods as a replacement to their dinner then rejecting dinner will become a very regular occurrence. We just have to remind ourselves that, as caregivers, our responsibility is to make plenty of healthy food available - but it is up to our kids if they eat, and how much they eat. They won’t starve.

What Helps Digestion?

The digestive system breaks down the foods we fuel our body with into nutrients our body can use. Improving digestion means fueling your body with the right kinds of foods like leafy greens, low fructose fruits and vegetables, pre and probiotics, fermented foods, lean protein, bone broth, gelatin and collagen.

While nutrition is one of the main things you can consume to support digestion and gut wellbeing, there are some other things you can also do to improve digestion. Hydration, adequate exercise, staying on top of stress levels, avoiding foods that can clog you up (fried foods, refined sugars, too much bread, dairy, acidic foods, processed foods, excessive alcohol and caffeine) and getting enough sleep is what helps digestion for a happy gut.

Foods to Help Digestion

Specific foods to help digestion alongside leafy greens include vegetables, lean meats (like fish and chicken) and low fructose fruits (like apple and pineapple), ginger, chia seeds, turmeric, licorice, lemon balm, mint, mushroom, fennel and fermented foods like sauerkraut and yoghurt. As mentioned above, our super greens powder, bone broth, gelatin and collagen are also great for improving digestion and supporting a happy gut thanks to the essential amino acids.

Incorporating the above foods into your diet, alongside a healthy balanced lifestyle, is what helps digestion and gut wellbeing. Lacking some inspiration or need ideas for incorporating your super greens powder in recipes alongside other foods to improve digestion? Check out some of our fan favourites like Super Greens + Reds Smoothie Pops, Super Greens + Reds Gummies, Morning Multi Smoothie, Synbiotic Salad, Cabbage Leaf Dim Sum with Hearty Broth and Tropical Collagen Marshmallows.

Using Super Greens Powder to Help Digestion

Our super greens powder contains 23 nourishing greens and reds like spirulina, Australian alfalfa, Australian kale, chlorella, Australian broccoli, Australian spinach, Tasmanian kelp, blueberry, açai, raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate, beetroot, goji, acerola extract, sea buckthorn, queen garnet plum and tomato. This amount of nutrients in wholefood form means your body can actually absorb and use the vitamins and nutrition in the greens and reds (high-fibre foods) for fuel and digestion.

Along with fruits and vegetables, our Super Greens + Reds also contain gut-loving goodness for improving digestion. Restorative & cleansing botanicals sprouted prebiotics and probiotics, flaxseed, St. Mary’s thistle, horsetail, licorice root, marshmallow root, lemon balm, dandelion leaf, ginger root and digestive enzymes which are all amazing supporters for gut wellbeing and digestion support. See why we call is the best super greens powder now? Insert a wink and our big cheeky grins here!

Top 10 Nutra Organics Collagen Reviews

“This is unlike any Collagen I have had before!!! Nutraorganics! You have outdone yourself! I have been on all sorts of Collagens for around the past 3-4 years and none of them have worked nearly as well as this one. Suffering from some skin conditions my skin has never felt so pump, smooth and hydrated in my adult life! Not only that, my nails are growing like crazy, and not just growing longer but stronger as well! My hair feels thicker and I am constantly having to go to the hairdresser to get it cut! Not only this... the last few collagens I have tried leave a funny taste in your mouth and a lumpy texture... I can put this in my coffee and not taste a thing! It dissolves like a charm, like it was never in there in the first place! I put it in smoothies, slices, coffee… anything I can really! haha I am a Nutaorganics fan now - I ain't going anywhere else and I can't wait to try more products just like this one!” - Bella A

"Life Changing I've suffered from adult acne since my early 20's and it hit fever pitch after the birth of my son at 30. I have tried everything. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. All skincare, all vitamins, all lifestyle changes and all doctor's prescriptions bar roaccutane. I've recently been exploring gut health which led me here, to Nutraorganics and to Collagen Beauty. What did I have to lose war bought a big tub as I researched results will be obvious within 8 weeks. I've had the large spoonful everyday in my shake for 4 weeks now. Firstly it doesn't taste like anything which is perfect for shakes. I found it a bit harder to dissolve in coffee. Honestly my skin has NEVER LOOKED BETTER. I have probably 2 pimples that are still healing but everything else has cleared completely. My skin looks better hydrated and more plump now. I don't get a lot of sleep with a 1 year old but I don't look "sickly" anymore. I still have 1/4 of the tub to go and I have already ordered 4 more tubs. I will never be with out this miracle powder. I've not focused on my hair or nails as they're usually pretty good, my gut l've not noticed a huge improvement but I know that's related to another health issue I have to tackle. The skin thing is just phenomenal!!"

“The best product I have ever bought This product is truly the best product I have ever bought. It does what it says it will and to a standard you will not expect.

This product doesn't just make your physical appearance look great it has given me the confidence to be happy in my own skin.” - Maddi

Skin tone and texture are notably better, skin looks and feels more moisturized, from the inside out. Acne is now just the odd spot. I am amazed by the results!

Common Signs of Poor Gut Health:

Digestive discomfort

Skin Troubles

Your skin often serves as a mirror reflecting the state of your gut. If you observe signs of irritation such as redness, swelling, or general discomfort, it could be a sign of an underlying issue in your gut. The connection between your skin and gut is more than skin-deep, and these external manifestations may be indicative of an internal imbalance.

Low energy levels

A flourishing gut is not just vital for digestion; it plays a key role in nutrient absorption and energy production. If you find yourself with low energy levels, even after sufficient sleep, and proper nutrition, it could be that the root cause could lie the gut impacting the absorption of essential nutrients. The intricate connection between a healthy gut and overall vitality underscores the importance of maintaining digestive well-being to ensure optimal nutrient utilisation and sustained energy levels. Addressing potential gut health issues might be the key to unlocking newfound energy and vitality in your daily life.

Food Intolerance

If you've recently developed unexpected intolerances to foods that were once easily digestible, it could be a signal of disruptions in your gut lining or microbiome. Our bodies are adept at adapting to dietary changes, and sudden sensitivities may suggest an imbalance in the delicate ecosystem of your gut.

Craving sugary foods

Experiencing food cravings, particularly for sugar, may indicate an imbalance in your gut microbiome. Consuming excessive sugar can foster the proliferation of "bad" bacteria in the gut. Recognising the connection between sugar intake and gut health is essential for making informed dietary choices and promoting overall well-being.

Immune defences are down

A weakened immune system often shows through gut-related signs. Persistent digestive issues like bloating, irregular bowel patterns, or increased susceptibility to pathogens may indicate compromised immunity. The gut, a central hub for immune activity, can signal immune distress through imbalances in its microbiome. Recognising these gut-related cues is key to promoting proactive steps to restore balance and strengthen the body's defence mechanisms.

The best foods to nurture your gut:

Fostering good gut health involves incorporating a variety of nutrient-dense foods that promote a balanced and diverse microbiome. Here's a list of foods that can nurture your gut microbiome in a positive way:

1. Probiotic-Rich Foods:

• Yoghurt

• Sauerkraut
• Kimchi
• Kombucha

6. Filtered Water:

Plus 8 more Lifestyle changes for gut health

Embarking on a journey toward better gut health involves more than just tweaking your diet; it requires holistic lifestyle changes that resonate with your body's intricate ecosystem. We'll explore adjustments you can make to nurture your gut and optimise your digestive wellness.

1. Mindful Eating: The practice of being fully present, consciously paying attention to each aspect of the eating experience, from the taste and texture of food to the thoughts and emotions associated with the act of eating. This practice not only fosters a healthier relationship with food but also aids in proper digestion.
2. Prioritise Sleep: Quality sleep is a cornerstone of overall well-being, including digestive health. Establishing a consistent sleep routine supports the body's natural repair and renewal processes, contributing to a balanced gut environment.
3. Manage Stress: Stress can wreak havoc on your digestive system. Incorporate stress-management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga to create a more harmonious balance between mind and gut connection.
4. Regular Exercise: Physical activity not only promotes overall health but also supports a diverse and robust gut microbiome. Aim for a mix of aerobic exercises and strength training to keep your digestive system in top form.
5. Stay Hydrated: Adequate water intake is fundamental to optimal digestion. Make a conscious effort to drink plenty of filtered water throughout the day, ensuring your body has the hydration it needs for smooth digestive processes.
6. Include Fermented Foods: Incorporate a variety of fermented foods like yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi into your diet. These foods are rich in probiotics, fostering a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in your gut.
7. Limit Processed Foods and Sugar: Processed foods and excess sugar can disrupt the delicate balance of your gut microbiome. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods and minimise added sugars to create an environment that supports gut health.
8. Pause & Listen to Your Body: Listening to your body is a skill that involves tuning into its subtle cues and signals, acknowledging both its physical and emotional needs. It begins with cultivating a heightened awareness of sensations like hunger, fullness, and satisfaction during meals. Pay attention to how different foods make you feel and any reactions your body might have. Regular self-check-ins help identify patterns and provide insights into your body's unique responses to various activities, foods, and stressors. Practising mindfulness, whether through activities like meditation or simply being present in the moment, can further enhance your ability to listen to and honour what your body is telling you. The key is to foster a compassionate and intuitive connection with your body, recognising that it communicates its needs and preferences in ways that deserve attention and respect.

Think of your body like it’s a car; if you fill up your car with clean fuel, it will run better.

Fuelling the body with a clean diet ensures better overall health, and sustained energy throughout the day. Nevertheless, sustained energy levels are also influenced not only by dietary choices but also by various habits and lifestyle factors. Some of these include physical activity, stress management and sleep patterns.

Eating a Clean Diet

If you're constantly tired, making strategic changes to your diet can significantly impact your energy levels. It's important to understand how your body creates energy; it relies on the metabolism of macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Optimal energy production involves eating nutrient-rich foods that release energy steadily. Include whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats like avocados. Incorporate colourful fruits and veggies for vitamins, especially vitamin C-rich options like oranges. Stay hydrated with plenty of water. Plan balanced meals, keep healthy snacks, and swap processed foods for nutrient-dense alternatives gradually. Consistency is key for sustained energy and overall well-being.

As delicious as processed foods are, they can have various effects on our health, and these effects are not favourable. Often, they are nutrient depleted, high in added sugars, sodium and unhealthy fats. This can lead to poor digestion and gut health, as they lack fibre, which is important for digestive health. The convenience and availability of processed foods may contribute to unhealthy eating habits, such as snacking on nutrient-poor options and choosing processed meals over fresh, whole foods.

Key vitamins and minerals for energy include:

• B vitamins
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin D
• Zinc
• Potassium
• Iodine
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids

To ensure a steady intake of these vitamins and minerals, especially in our busy lifestyles, incorporating Super Greens & Reds into your daily routine provides the essential nutrients your body needs to combat the challenges of a hectic schedule and supporting your energy levels throughout the day.

Favourite foods for energy:

• Whole grains (brown rice, quinoa)
• Lentils
• Eggs
• Avocados
• Green vegetables
• Bananas
• Chia seeds (omega-3 fats)
• Yoghurt

Sugar Levels

Sugar gives us a quick energy boost, which then leads to a subsequent energy crash. This can affect fatigue, weight, mood and all sorts of other complications. Ensuring your diet is made up of foods that release energy slowly will give you a more balanced, sustained energy throughout the day.

The glycemic load refers to how your entire meal composition affects your sugar levels. When your meal contains fats, protein and fibre they act like a sponge, slowing down sugar absorption. This helps prevent sudden spikes and surges in sugar levels, ultimately avoiding crashes and promoting a more stable energy level. Avoid discretionary foods and simple carbohydrates as they impact sugar levels due to their rapid conversion into glucose.

If you’re hankering for that afternoon snack, instead of reaching for those office cookies, opt for one of our powdered broths. They contain B vitamins and zinc, which are great for energy, helping you avoid that afternoon slump.

A Breakdown of Bone Broth Nutrients

Bone Broths are a nutritional powerhouse, as bones act as a stockpile for essential minerals and contain proteins rich in essential amino acids and zinc. In their natural whole form, we are unable to access this dense nutrition stockpile, but the lengthy slow cooking process of making bone broth releases all these wonderful nutrients, making it easy to digest and highly bioavailable.

Amino Acids - the building blocks of all protein, so when it comes to tissue building and repair, protein (amino acids) are essential! Glutamine, in particular, is a great one for the gut, as it promotes the growth of enterocytes which line the gut wall.

Zinc - an incredible mineral, is essential for many different functions in the body, such as supporting the immune system, tissue building, healing, growth, maintaining the body's pH balance, fertility, and metabolism (just to name a few).

Benefits of Drinking Bone Broth Before Breakfast & Coffee

Morning routines are important both physically and mentally. It’s great to provide your digestive system with easy to digest, nutritious foods in the morning, but also set yourself up with good intentions and actions. Bone broth is the ideal drink to kick start any morning and start your daily gut health ritual as it eases your digestive system back into action and provides essential nutrients that will help you to feel soothed, satisfied, and incredibly righteous.

As we sleep, digestive activity slows and the production of stomach acid and enzymes reduces. So if the first thing we put into our stomach is difficult to digest (too high in fibre or acidity, large protein molecules or contains complex sugars that require lots of enzymes to break down properly) we can set ourselves up for gastrointestinal discomfort for the rest of the day. Cue bone broth. The long, slow cooking process of bone broth means that most of the digestion is done for us. The nutrients are highly bioavailable and can stimulate the digestive tract into action in the gentlest way possible. Drinking bone broth warm, can help to support blood flow to the gut and set your intestines up for better nutrient absorption. Meaning the bone broth benefits will be felt throughout the day. Although it’s tempting to go straight for a cold, refreshing drink first thing in the morning in summer, cold drinks can reduce blood flow, and can actually interrupt efficient digestion. So to get that digestive system set up for the day the best time to drink bone broth is first up in the morning.

Your New Daily Gut Health Ritual

Now that you know all about the benefits of bone broth, let's find the perfect way to create your daily ritual gut health routine.

Our Bone Broth powders are ideal for busy bodies who roll straight out of bed and out of the house in pursuit of bone broth benefits. They are easy to transport or keep at your desk at work as part of your daily ritual for gut health. All you need is access to a mug, a spoon, and some hot water. The best time to drink bone broth is in the morning, however bone broth nutrients can help settle, soothe and ease digestion all throughout the day. Our broth powders come in a variety of flavours, so just browse through and choose something based on your taste preferences. We even have Chicken Bone Broths and Vegetable Broth options if Beef Bone Broth isn’t your thing.

If you’re someone who prefers to have a mindful morning at home before heading out the door you may prefer our Bone Broth Concentrates. Our Lemon Ginger ACV Bone Broth Concentrate was specifically designed for your morning ritual as it combines the benefits of bone broth with the digestive soothing and prepping properties of ginger, lemon, and apple cider vinegar. This will ease your digestion into action and you will start your day feeling balanced and satisfied, experiencing the full spectrum of bone broth benefits. Make bone broth a part of your daily ritual for gut health, and you'll be amazed at the positive changes it brings to your well-being.

Bone broth is so much more than a winter warmer, bone broth for gut health is one of our go-to’s for soothing and deeply nourishing your body to help improve immunity, energy and gut wellbeing all year round. Sit back and relax with a hot cup of broth as the Nutra team explains the benefits of bone broth for gut health alongside a healthy balanced diet.

How Does Bone Broth Help the Gut?

Bone broth for gut health is a winner in our books for a few key reasons. Gut health powders — like our bone broth powders and bone broth concentrates — are wonderful for boosting gut health, thanks to the collagen protein. Collagen protein in our bone broth range contains the amino acid L-glutamine. The amino acid L-glutamine feeds the cells lining the gut, helping them to create a strong surface and healthy lining and therefore a more supported gut for overall gut wellbeing. A healthy gut impacts many areas of whole body health, like skin health, mood, sleep and immunity, just to name a few.

Our bone broth for gut health range also contains apple cider vinegar, which is great for naturally enhancing the extraction of collagen and other nutritious elements from the bone, this ensures that our bone broth contains all the possible benefits for gut health, and therefore all the roll on effects that improving gut health brings. Various studies on collagen protein have shown a reduction in digestive symptoms like bloating, as well as an increase in bowel movements in those who did not report regular bowel movements beforehand.

Our hundreds of reviews on bone broth consist of customers raving about the flavour, ease, versatility and the ways they noticed bone broth improving their gut wellbeing.

“I find this great to flavour soups and sauces. I use it like a stock in a lot of cooking. It adds a great blend of flavours and nutrients. It's also great alone with hot water as an easy thin soup when you're unwell. It's gentle on the stomach, but rich in the good stuff!” - Karly.

So add bone broth to the list when writing down how to care for your gut.

When it comes to the nutrients we put into our bodies, not all are created equal. Some are crafted by nature over billions of years, perfectly balanced for life, while others are artificially synthesized in a lab. Wholefoods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains, are packed with a rich variety of nutrients straight from nature, untouched by processing or mixing with other ingredients. At Nutra Organics, we're passionate about wholefood formulations, allowing your body to harness the power of Mother Nature. We prefer these natural micronutrients over their lab-made counterparts. Wondering why? Let's break it down for you:

1. Wholefood micronutrients are easier on the body

Research shows that nutrients derived from natural sources are often better absorbed and more bioavailable than synthetics. While the chemical structure of synthetic vitamins and minerals might appear identical to natural ones, the processes behind their creation differ significantly, which can affect how your body processes them. Synthetic micronutrients can burden your body, as some require biological activation after consumption, depleting your energy and other nutrients to act as cofactors. Natural micronutrients, on the other hand, are biologically active and work in harmony with other natural compounds to enhance their effectiveness.

2. Wholefood micronutrients require smaller doses

Due to the higher absorption and activation rate of natural nutrients, you need smaller amounts to reap their benefits. When you consume wholefoods, you get a comprehensive mix of complementary vitamins and minerals, making it the healthier choice. Synthetic micronutrients are often added to foods and supplements for marketing purposes, but their presence doesn't guarantee effective utilization by your body. Whenever possible, opt for a diverse diet and supplements from wholefood sources to meet your nutritional needs.

3. Wholefood Micronutrients Come with a Bonus Package of Other Nutrients

Natural sources of micronutrients are considered superior to lab-made ones because they come bundled with beneficial micronutrients (co-factors) and are more readily recognised and absorbed by the body.

4. Wholefoods are familiar to the body

Consuming nutrients as nature intended is the most body-friendly way to nourish yourself. Besides, errors can occur in the lab, resulting in slight chemical variations from the intended compounds. Even these tiny differences can have effects on your body.

In essence, choosing wholefoods over synthetic nutrients is like going back to the basics for a healthier and more harmonious relationship between your body and the nutrients it needs. It's a simple, effective, and safer way to ensure you're getting the best nutrition available.

Opting for wholefoods is a simple, yet kind-hearted way to boost your health and make sure you're getting the best nutrients nature has to offer. So, next time you're thinking about what to eat, consider going the nature's way for a happier, healthier you.

Creating a Gutsy Gummies recipe allows your kids to consume a fun, low sugar snack to nourish and support their gut wellbeing and so much more. So if you’ve been searching for protein gummies, gut gummies or vitamin gummies, the search is over - Gutsy Gummies is all three in one and is great for the whole family, because hey, kids aren’t the only ones with a sweet tooth right? We’re totally guilty over here!

These gut gummies are super tasty and are a super nutritious alternative to sugar-laden jellies and artificial gummies. Let’s dive into the more specific benefits of our vitamin gummies for your family.

Support Muscles with Protein Gummies

Creating protein gummies is easy with Gutsy Gummies! Packed with protein thanks to the Australian grass-fed gelatin that provides a pure source of protein to support muscles and build tissue. Protein is an essential part of kids' growth and development and is a part of every cell in the body; making it super duper important for kids and adults alike. Along with building tissue and supporting muscles, protein also supports skin, hair, nails and a healthy immune system. Protein gummies are a great snack to keep everyone in the family feeling fuller for longer, so you can say goodbye to the kids needing a new snack every half an hour, ain’t nobody got time for that!

Gut Gummies for Overall Nutrient Absorption

Our gut gummies are a wonderful treat for gut support, all thanks to the clever combination of Australian grass-fed gelatin and vitamin C. The gelatin in our gut gummies is not only a high-quality protein, but also contains the amino acid L-glutamine, which feeds the cells lining the gut, helping them to create a strong surface and healthy lining. Our gut gummies are suitable for the whole family, even for tiny tummies.

A lack of the right nutrients can lead to upset tummies and poor gut health, and a child’s gut health and microbiome are formed in the first four years, after which time it can be impacted by nutrition, diet and other lifestyle factors. A healthy gut for kids (and adults alike) contributes to some super important areas like immunity, mood, digestion, nutrient absorption, sleep, brain health, heart health and skin health. Maintaining gut wellbeing has a positive roll-on effect on these important areas of whole body wellbeing.

Vitamin C in our gut gummies also supports growth, development and repair of all tissues and is great for collagen production, which is essential in connective tissue found in the gut lining. Vitamin C in our vitamin gummies is also involved in the absorption of iron, a healthy functioning immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C gummies have never tasted so delicious thanks to the three fabulously fresh flavours of Gutsy Gummies.

Create an Easy, Low Sugar Snack with Vitamin Gummies

In three delicious flavours of Mango, Blueberry and Strawberry; the gutsy gummies completely fit the mold (pun intended) when it comes to delicious and nutritious vitamin gummies, protein gummies, gut gummies and gummies for kids.

Rick Harrison (co-founder) welcomes us to her farm to talk about heritage, health, and her incredible regenerative farm. 25 questions for 25 years of Nutra Organics.

In 1998, Mark & Darlene Powell started Nutra Organics on the kitchen table of their family home. Their passion for wholefoods came from their heart and soul - their family. Studying naturopathy, they might have been labelled certified hippies back then, but they knew the best stuff for you came directly from Mother Nature. From wearing garlic in their socks to bed when they got sick, to eating mung bean sandwiches for lunch, everything was about using what the earth had provided for extra support.

However there came a point when they realised that their wholefood diet wasn’t giving them everything they needed nutritionally. Due to modern agriculture, soil quality significantly deteriorated over the years (and continues to do so) - and food just doesn’t contain the same amount of nutrients that it did 100 years ago. Resolved to do something about it - Mark & Darlsy sourced the absolute best quality superfoods they could get their hands on, that delivered a potent spectrum of nutrients while tasting delicious, and mixed together their first iteration of Super Greens + Reds on their kitchen table.

After feeling an incredible difference in their health and vitality, their community became intrigued & hooked on this superfood concoction after experiencing the difference themselves. Thus, Nutra Organics was born.

Mark worked full-time (at a biscuit factory— ironic right?) while also working full-time on Nutra Organics, door knocking on the weekends to continue to spread Mother Nature’s goodness. And don't think Mark was a one-man show. Oh no, this was a whole family affair! Everyone was involved—Darlsy, Ricki (eldest daughter), and Brit (youngest daughter).

Ten years passed, and passion still fueled the family's mission, creating products that their local community and friends needed. In 2010, they invested everything they owned into the business, selling their family home and moving into a rental all together (the family had grown to six adults and two kids). One big happy family, right? Most of the time!

The next three years were met with the hurdles of newborns, developing their kids' nutrition & fitness range, supply chains, manufacturing—making just enough to break even every year. But to this family, the small wins were all they needed. Over time, they found that every new customer they served would always come back. And if that's any sign that they were doing something right - they had thousands of loyal customers.

After learning the ropes of doing business for 13 years and growing very organically, with no money spent on advertising up to this point, Nutra Organics started to quickly snowball and run freely on its own legs. The word-of-mouth from loyal customers had been multiplying tenfold.

Focused on solving their customers’ problems with more new products that a) taste amazing, b) were easy to incorporate into everyday busy life, and c) had real health benefits, their trailblazing broth & collagen range were born in 2015 & 2017 - Australia’s first range of bone broth powders & targeted collagen supplements. Selling out at least 10 times in the first few years, customers couldn’t get enough!

And at the same time, the world was changing. People had started questioning their food and the sources of which it came from - understanding that natural & organic nutrition is far better than synthetic supplements and processed junk. In a time where food & supplements was becoming less trustworthy for nutrition, Nutra Organics was way ahead of the curve, loudly banging their wholefood drum for everyone to hear.

To this day, Nutra Organics believes in quality above all else: real nutrition that delivers real results and tastes really delicious. It is at the core of what they do, how they move forward, and what they're most proud of. Sourcing ingredients from wholefoods, within Australia wherever possible, they create products that are scientifically backed and safe for the whole family - while never sacrificing on flavour. What they have built over the last 25 years is truly a celebration of community, quality, and deep nourishment.

So, there you have it! The history of Nutra Organics, a (very) brief summary.

Before we get into the nitty gritty of the benefits of collagen, which types are the best collagen and what the difference is between our collagen products, it’s best to begin with an understanding of what collagen actually is.

So, What Are The Benefits of Taking Collagen Powder?

There are many benefits of collagen powder and many wonderful reasons to take the best collagen powder for your specific needs daily! Collagen is the main structural protein found in connective tissue (which is one of the 4 basic tissue types found in all animals and humans). Collagen is basically the glue that holds our skin, bones, muscles and connective tissue together, so yes, collagen for hair, skin and nails is an absolute winner! As we age, our collagen production slows down, rude right? Contributing to wrinkling, sagging, dry skin, dull hair, weak nails, brittle bones and a loss of muscle mass. So collagen powder for skin is a great benefit, but collagen for gut health, collagen for muscle growth and collagen for bones support are also wonderful benefits of taking collagen powder.

How is Nutra Organics Collagen Beauty Different?

What makes our collagen powders the best collagen in Australia you ask? The way that collagen fibres are broken down affects the size of the protein peptide chains and the sequence of amino acids in each peptide chain.

Which Form of Collagen is Most Effective?

There are 16 different types of collagen found in humans and animals, and Types I and III have the greatest impact on skin, bones and muscles. The main difference between our collagens is the Bioactive Collagen Peptides (smaller collagen peptide chains) found in each one, which target collagen formation in specific areas of the body.

Further, the unique collagen peptides in our three collagens have all been researched through randomised, double blind, placebo controlled studies, and they are the only specialised, bioavailable collagen peptides on the market. 96% of people who took Collagen Beauty noticed a difference - that’s some good odds right there!

So our biggest differences are the types of collagen, and how the collagen fibres have been broken down, along with the wholefood synbiotic ingredients added that further enhance the benefits of collagen powder. No fillers to bulk up the product, no artificial additives, and no cheap ingredients. Only the most pure, premium, bioavailable ingredients that actually do what they claim. The specific ingredients in our collagens and Collagen Beauty makes all the difference when choosing the best collagen powder possible and the best collagen powder for you! With this in mind, find the heading below that aligns with your main concern to learn more about the specific benefits of collagen powder.

How Do I Choose The Best Collagen For My Needs?

Although collagen isn’t a one-stop-shop, it can in fact meet a lot of your needs when it comes to collagen for gut health, bones, muscle growth and the best collagen for skin, hair and nails. Here at Nutra Organics, we created the best collagen powder blends for these specific and diverse needs and benefits.

The Best Collagen for Skin

Collagen helps in supporting our skin, as we age and that precious collagen production starts to slow down, adding the best collagen for skin support is a great way to smooth fine lines, reduce wrinkles, increase skin hydration, improve skin elasticity and improve the structural integrity of skin over the entire body.

The best collagen for skin support is Collagen Beauty. Every 12g serve of Collagen Beauty contains 2.5g of Verisol® Collagen Peptides, as this is the specific dose that has been found to be effective in studies. We have also included wholefood sources of vitamin C, zinc and silica which help with the structure and function of connective tissue, promote healing, support gut health (because healthy skin starts from within), further support collagen formation, and support healthy hair and nails. The rest of Collagen Beauty is made up of more hydrolysed collagen! This provides a good source of protein, and plenty of building blocks for more collagen synthesis, it truly is the best collagen for skin support!

Our Collagen Beauty range comes in unflavoured, Marine Collagen Beauty, Collagen Beauty flavoured, (Watermelon Strawberry, Tropical, Blueberry Wildflower and Lemon Lime) and Collagen Beauty flavours for coffee (Caramel & Vanilla). It dissolves into any hot or cold liquid and they are all pregnancy, breastfeeding, and child friendly for 12 months+. 93% of people who tried Collagen Beauty noticed a difference in their skin!

What is the difference between natural and synthetic vitamins & minerals?

Natural Vitamins come from a variety of wholefood sources (fruit, vegetables, spices, herbs, algae, seeds, amongst many others). These natural vitamins are extracted from a natural source and contain a variety of other beneficial nutrients and co-factors. They are often assimilated more easily by the body and are usually considered safe.

Synthetic Vitamins are chemically created in a laboratory and are often isolated from their co-factors. They may not be as easily absorbed or utilised by the body as natural vitamins.

Overall natural sources of vitamins are generally considered superior to lab made ones, due to the presence of other beneficial macronutrients (example co-factors) and better recognition and absorption by the body.

Natural Minerals are obtained from naturally occurring sources such as rocks, soil, and water. These naturally extracted minerals contain a variety of other beneficial minerals and trace elements that help the body to absorb and utilise them properly.

Synthetic Minerals, on the other hand, are chemically produced in a laboratory and are created chemically by combining various elements. They are typically isolated and do not contain other beneficial mineral co-factors that aid absorption and utilisation.

While both natural and synthetic minerals can be effective for providing essential minerals to the body, the body will often more readily absorb natural minerals because they are more easily recognised by the body.

How to spot synthetic ingredients?

Some of the ways you can spot synthetics in your foods is through the ingredients list. Have you ever noticed the differences in the naming convention for certain vitamins and minerals? Depending on the way they are listed, you can tell if they come from a natural or synthetic source. See some examples below:

The list is constantly being added to as time passes and technology develops. If you’re ever unsure of ingredients on a label, spend some time researching its source. Where it comes from is important! At Nutra Organics we only use wholefood sources of vitamins & minerals that are actually natural. You won’t spot any synthetic vitamins in any of our formulations - that’s a promise!

1- Lethargy

Although a bit of laziness, whinging and feet-dragging is a totally normal thing for a child to do, persistent lethargy is a sign of potential nutrient deficiency. Having low energy, not feeling motivated or excited by anything and fatigue can all be caused by inadequate vitamins and minerals. Pinpointing the cause of lethargy is tricky, because our bodies require adequate amounts of everything to thrive and feel energised. It could be an iron deficiency which leads to inadequate oxygen supply, a B vitamin deficiency which slows down metabolism, or it could be as simple as not consuming enough carbohydrates or kilojoules throughout the day. If your child is showing signs of lethargy, feed them up with plenty of starchy foods and leafy greens. If symptoms persist it’s time to chat to your health care professional to get to the bottom of what's going on. Need help boosting your kiddos iron? Try this Sneaky Veg Banana Bread featuring our Thriving Family & Veggie Hero.

2- Constipation

Irregular bowel movements can be a sign that your child isn’t getting enough fibre and/or water. Especially if your kiddo is a fussy eater and tends to reject fibrous textures (like all vegetables). Not getting enough fibre goes hand-in-hand with missing out on other essential nutrients, as so many of our best high-fibre foods are also vitamins and mineral powerhouses (like broccoli, pumpkin, carrot, capsicum, beans and avocado). If you notice your child is a bit constipated, really try to focus on feeding them plenty of fruits, vegetables and water. If they are really fussy you can always try and sneak some Super Tummy into the food you know they will eat (like bliss balls, plant based milk smoothies or in spreads such as peanut butter and avocado).

3- Dry or irritated skin

One of the first physical signs that your child has a nutrient deficiency is in their skin. Skin cells turn over quickly, so inadequate nutrition will become evident on the surface of the skin very fast. Dry or irritated skin can be caused by insufficient healthy fats, dehydration, inadequate vitamins or minerals, or even undiagnosed food sensitivities. Try to include oily fish, nuts and avocados in your child's diet, as well as plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Consuming your fruit and vegetables fresh ensures that the heat sensitive vitamins and phytochemicals are still intact when eaten. Vitamin c is an especially sensitive nutrient, so consuming some fresh vitamin C containing foods every day is the best way to avoid deficiency.

Immunity support is one of those amazing things you can gift yourself and your body year round, not just when we feel run down or in the cooler months. With nutrients and foods to boost immunity in your daily diet, there will be no need to panic when you hear the flu is going around and no need to suddenly gulp down all the immunity foods, immunity powders and superfood powders in a hurry. With these key nutrients you’ll be on top of your immunity support with the foods and the knowledge of how to support your immune system and overall wellbeing.

When it comes to superfood powder and foods to boost immunity, Nutra Organics has got you covered! So, you can feel confident in your wholefood immunity powder for immunity support all year round.

Why is Food Important for Immunity Support?

The topic of how to best support your immune system is a thoroughly researched one with experts all agreeing that nutrition and a healthy balanced lifestyle should be the first point of call as food contains vital nutrients our bodies need to survive and thrive.

I’m sure that we can all agree none of us willingly want to get sick right? Ain’t nobody got time for that. But the flip side of that desire is building a strong immunity, and immunity support begins with a healthy diet filled with wholefoods and nutrients that are proven to support the immune system.

Top 10 Immunity Support Tips

These 10 tips for immunity support include primarily nutrients found in wholefoods, but it’s important to mention here that immunity support is a whole body ordeal, and can’t just be helped by immune support vitamins. Learning to look after and love your body is an ongoing journey, so try one thing at a time as you work on supporting your immunity from every angle.

1. B Vitamins

B vitamins are essential for cell health, the creation of new red blood cells and overall energy production. The immune system (especially when it’s exposed to lots of pathogens) uses up a lot of energy, so it’s one of the first things to suffer when energy production isn’t happening at an optimal level. B vitamins are found in meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy, legumes, seeds, leafy greens and nutritional yeast. Our Nutra Organics picks for adding a superfood powder with B vitamins is Super Greens + Reds as a daily greens powder for immunity support, and our Bone Broths. Try our Immune Builder Chicken Curry Soup featuring Chicken Bone Broth Turmeric with B vitamins.

2. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is probably the most famous nutrient for immunity support. It is essential for many cellular functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems. When your body is fighting off a virus (or other pathogen) vitamin C is churned through at a much higher rate, as it accumulates in phagocytes (immune cells that are responsible for the consumption and destruction of pathogens within the body) to assist with the destruction of the infection. There are many great sources of Vitamin C for immunity support, some of our favourite sources are found in fruits (especially Kakadu plum, guava, acerola cherries and kiwis), capsicums, leafy greens, brussel sprouts, lemons and herbs like parsley. You can get 100% of your RDI of vitamin C in Collagen Beauty, Acai Berry Blend, Berry Immune and Super Greens + Reds. Try our Glory Greens Immunity Shot with your daily dose of Collagen Beauty for a powerful punch of immune support vitamins.

3. Vitamin D

Vitamin D is known to be an immune system ‘modulator’. It helps to increase the rate of the production of pathogen fighting proteins, but it also helps to dampen the inflammatory response of white blood cells (as an overactive immune system can also be harmful to our bodies and cause autoimmune diseases). Great sources of vitamin D for immunity support include oily fish, egg yolks, red meat, mushrooms, spinach, oranges, bananas and of course sunshine. When you can’t get enough of these foods to boost immunity, Nutra Organics Bone Broths, Thriving Family and Super Greens + Reds are a great daily immunity support. Try the Morning Multi Smoothie which combines both Thriving Family and Super Greens + Reds for a delicious superfood powder boost.

4. Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin, potent anti-inflammatory and is found in high concentrations in immune cells. Vitamin E enhances T cell function (T cells are very important cells in the immune system. They kill infected host cells directly, but also upregulate the production and function of other immune cells) and help to reduce inflammation caused by infection and the immune response. Vitamin E is most commonly found in wheat, nuts, seeds, avocados and oily fish. Super Greens + Reds is your go-to for a superfood powder with vitamin E for immunity support.

5. Vitamin A

Vitamin A is vital for many important functions and processes in the body like vision, growth & development, reproduction and the immune system. Vitamin A works to enhance and support the immune system as well as supporting the body's fight to reduce inflammation. Vitamin A can be found in leafy greens, orange and yellow vegetables, beef liver, fish oils, milk, eggs, mango, rockmelon and capsicum. Vitamin A can be found in Super Greens + Reds and Veggie Hero. Try Our Veggie Hero Sausage Rolls for a yummy boost.

6. Pre and Probiotics

A happy balanced microbiome is vitally important when it comes to immunity. The gut is the first line of defence from many pathogens. It helps to prevent the growth of harmful disease-causing pathogens as well as train immune cells, helping them to recognise harmful cells and destroy them before they have a chance to cause harm or disease. Pre and probiotics are found in foods like yoghurt, sauerkraut, whole grains, bananas, greens, onions, garlic, soybeans and artichokes. Pre and Probiotics can be found in our Thriving Family, Clean Proteins, Super Greens + Reds. Try our Strawberry Surprise Smoothie Bowl for a sweet immunity support breakfast or snack.

Polyphenols are types of antioxidants that help to neutralise free radicals. They assist the immune system by helping with phagocytosis, and reducing the inflammation caused by the immune response.

7. Iron

Iron is essential for new cell production and maturation (which is in high demand when fighting off infection). Insufficient iron weakens the immune response, but on the flip side, too much free iron can mean providing extra nutrients for the pathogen. So, support your body by providing adequate iron but not going overboard.

Super Greens + Reds contains 28% of your daily recommended iron intake per serve, which is a good immunity support in a healthy, varied diet. Iron is also found in liver, red meats, leafy greens, legumes, peas, grains like quinoa, tofu and dark chocolate. Add a daily dose of Super Greens + Reds for iron and immunity support, does your daily greens powder do it all? This one does!

8. Magnesium

Magnesium is an important cofactor in lots of reactions that occur during a healthy immune response. It is particularly important for immunoglobulin synthesis (which is a protein antibody that binds to viruses and other pathogens, helping to destroy them). Magnesium can be found in cacao powder, chia seeds, nuts, legumes, oily fish, oats, leafy greens, whole grains and avocados.

Magnesium for immunity support can also be found in our Super Greens + Reds, Collagen Build, Thriving Family, Clean Greens, Clean Energy, Clean Recovery and Clean Protein. Try the Ultimate Post Workout Smoothie for an extra dose of immune support vitamins.

9. Zinc

Zinc is arguably the most famous mineral when it comes to immunity, with good reason, as it is essential in many functions of the immune system. Zinc is needed in the first line of defence from pathogens by assisting in barrier function of the skin, gut and airways. Zinc is also needed for the growth and development of immune cells that respond to specific pathogens (such as neutrophils and natural killer cells). Zinc can be found in oysters, red meat, poultry, wholegrains and dairy.

Zinc can also be found in our Super Greens + Reds, Collagen Beauty, Bone Broths powders and concentrates and Clean Energy. Try our Laksa Broth Noodle Jars for an immunity boost, this recipe is packed full of immunity foods plus Bone Broth Concentrate with zinc.

10. Lifestyle

A healthy balanced lifestyle for immunity support entails key elements like adequate sleep, exercise and hydration. Cutting out or cutting down on things like alcohol, smoking, stress where possible, sugary and packaged foods will also work wonders for immunity support. The immune system is dependent on the nutrients and cells transported in our blood stream, and good circulation needs proper hydration and exercise. Hydration is key for waste elimination and temperature regulation, which is vital when you do get sick!

Super Greens + Reds and Clean Recovery contains electrolytes which can contribute to proper fluid balance, and if you’re drinking it in water or juice, then that’s an extra bit of hydration during your day too! And if you’re struggling to get that exercise in, Clean Energy can give you that boost of energy needed. On the flip side, winding down can be made a whole lot more sweet and nutritious with the likes of Captain Calm.

A lack of the right nutrients can lead to upset tummies and poor gut health, and a child’s gut health and microbiome are formed in the first four years, after which time it can be impacted by nutrition, diet and other lifestyle factors. A healthy gut for kids contributes to some super important areas like immunity, mood, digestion, sleep, brain health, heart health and skin health. Maintaining gut wellbeing has a positive roll-on effect on these important areas of whole body wellbeing.

However, kids can be fussy, there’s no arguing with that, and sometimes no matter the bragging and bribing it can be hard for them to get their daily quota of nutrients. ABS statistics show only 6% of children aged 2–17 years meet the recommended intake of fruit and vegetables, which means most children may not be getting enough nutrition in their diet or the right nutrients they need for gut wellbeing and therefore other areas like growth, development, energy and immunity, among other things. Further, high levels of refined sugars (found in many kids treats) can disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, leading to inflammation and leaky gut syndrome.

The solution? Delicious and nutritious Super Tummy & Gutsy Gummies to soothe and support tiny tummies!

Each product that goes through development has a series of tests and trials to make sure that it is the cleanest, most delicious, top of the line product made with wholefoods and no synthetics - basically the kind of test every superhero goes through right?

Super Tummy supports gut repair, restores digestive health, regular bowel movements, soothes digestion and supports immunity.

FUN FACTS: Super Tummy is mildly sweet, so it is best added to sweet or plain foods. Thanks to its speedy superpowers, the gut-loving ingredients will start fermenting straight away when added to certain foods such as dairy milk, yoghurt and fruit juice - so best to avoid adding to these as it can change the taste and texture which your little ones might not like.

Super Tummy doesn’t contain any artificial nasties or refined sugar too, so you can get the peace of mind you need that you are giving your kids a clean and premium product to support their tiny tummies.

Gutsy Gummies

Gutsy Gummies:
To make your Gutsy Gummies ‘bloom’ the mix by adding 50 grams (1/3 cup) into 100 mL of water and stir until an even texture is achieved.

How does Collagen Beauty support skin, hair, nails and gut health?

Collagen Beauty is a superior collagen supplement formulated with VERISOL® Bioactive Collagen Peptides, wholefood zinc, silica and 100% RDI vitamin C. You won’t find any nasties, synthetics or fillers here. These premium ingredients work together to support the skin, hair, nails and gut health from within. Wondering what collagen can do for you? Let’s dive a little deeper into this award winning formulation and find out why our easy-to-take-everyday Collagen Beauty delivers superior results.

Collagen for skin health

Collagen is abundant in our skin and plays a huge role in elasticity and hydration. Nourishing your skin with a daily dose of collagen will have you glowing from the inside out, with results after 8 short weeks.

Collagen Beauty contains the specialised bioactive collagen peptides called VERISOL®, which specifically targets skin, and has been scientifically shown to reduce wrinkles, smooth fine lines, increase skin hydration, improve skin elasticity, and improve the structural integrity of skin over the entire body. VERISOL® is scientifically researched with multiple peer reviewed studies that demonstrate its effectiveness for skin, hair and nails.

We have also included wholefood sources of vitamin C and zinc, which help with the structure and function of connective tissue, promote healing and further supports collagen formation. Beauty truly does start within.

Collagen for strong healthy hair

Collagen is an abundant source of protein, meaning it’s great for contributing to hair proteins which make up strong healthy hair. Our award winning Collagen Beauty also contains wholefood sources of vitamin C and zinc, which help to support healthy hair. We’ve also added a natural source of silica from bamboo which is known to support healthy hair. The rest of Collagen Beauty is made up of more hydrolysed collagen! This provides a good source of protein, and plenty of building blocks for more collagen synthesis.

Collagen for strong healthy nails

Collagen supports nail health by providing nail beds with the amino acid arginine, which helps in maintaining healthy, strong nails. If your body needs more collagen, it may result in brittle, weak nails. Daily supplementation with collagen peptides may boost the growth of fingernails by 12%, and reduce the frequency of broken nails by 42%, says a new study using the VERISOL® ingredient, which you’ll find in our best selling Collagen Beauty.

Collagen for gut wellbeing

Collagen contains a significant amount of beneficial amino acids like glycine, glutamine and proline, which support the lining of the intestinal tract as well as the stomach. Gut lining is also made up of connective tissue, and collagen and vitamin C are known to support connective tissue, which also means support for the gut lining.

When the gut isn’t balanced or properly nourished, our skin often becomes irritated, red, congested and can even increase the signs of ageing. The gut affects so many organs in our body, one of the biggest being the skin. The skin is often a great signpost for what’s happening on the inside, so step one for skin health; nourish from the inside. You could say it’s a little more than a gut feeling.

We’re so sure that you’ll love your Collagen Beauty as much as it will love you that we’re offering you a money back guarantee for a limited time*! So if you’ve been on the fence or unsure about the results and efficacy of Collagen Beauty, worry no more and start glowing with our superior, easy to take and results backed Collagen Beauty. We can’t wait to see what Collagen Beauty can do for you!

So what is a low FODMAP diet you ask? By the end of this blog we hope to shed some light on the benefits of a low FODMAP diet and who a low FODMAP diet can help. It can in fact feel like you need a literal map to understand all the diets and trends these days, but here at Nutra, we praise a wholefood/holistic diet, and you will rarely hear us talk about “diet culture.” However, there are certain diets with tons of research behind them that are specific to certain outcomes and beneficial for certain people; a low FODMAP diet is one of those.

What Does Low FODMAP Mean?

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols, it’s a mouthful right? In layman's terms, these are simply short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that the small intestine typically doesn’t absorb well. These foods that don’t absorb well often cause gas, bloating and a range of other uncomfortable symptoms for people who suffer from IBS.

The four different FODMAP categories include:

1. Fermentable Oligosaccharides: Fructans (which are found in onions, garlic, artichokes, wheat products, galactans (which you can find in lentils, beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and most products containing soy).
2. Disaccharides: The biggest carrier is dairy products, hello cheese, ice-cream, yoghurt and milk.
3. Monosaccharides: Monosaccharides are found in fruits, due to the fructose content. However not all fruits are guilty, as some fruits have equal amounts of fructose and glucose and are more easily tolerated.
4. Polyols: These are sugar alcohols typically found in sweeteners made from xylitol, lactitol, maltitol and sorbitol. There are some other natural sources that belong in this category too like cherries and mushrooms.

Benefits of a Low FODMAP Diet

Limiting foods that contain FODMAPs can ease symptoms of IBS and should only be followed for this purpose and for a time. This is because the above foods containing those compounds are harder to digest, and are not completely absorbed, so when they reach the intestine they ferment and can cause gas, pain and bloating. According to Dieticians Australia, IBS affects 30% of Australians, yikes! If you experience gas, pain or bloating, it’s important to have your symptoms properly diagnosed before following a FODMAP diet, always make sure you see a professional for a proper diagnosis.

How to follow a FODMAP Diet

The good news when it comes to following a FODMAP diet is that limiting FODMAPs is only for a time. So yes, your Friday afternoon cheese and crackers with a sparkling glass of vino is just on hold for now. The first step however, is elimination, this stage should last for a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of six weeks. After this time you can slowly reintroduce foods - this part should be planned out by you and your dietician. This process will allow you to figure out what foods are causing you discomfort as you slowly reintroduce foods. From here your dietician will be able to help you in determining how much of those foods you can eat to reduce your symptoms.

Nutra Organics FODMAP Friendly Products

You can enjoy a wide range of FODMAP friendly products with Nutra Organics wholefoods to deeply nourish. Here’s some delicious and nutritious low FODMAP products you can add to your diet if you are following a low FODMAP plan for a time.

Gelatin & unflavoured Collagen: These products are not only completely safe for a low FODMAP diet, but they are actually beneficial for gut support due to naturally occurring amino acids found in collagen. Support your gut, skin, hair and nails along the journey to figuring out your FODMAP triggers.

The following Gelatin & Collagen products are Low FODMAP:

• Natural Gelatin
• Collagen Body
• Collagen Build
• Collagen Beauty Unflavoured
• Marine Collagen Beauty

Clean Greens: Containing the 8 most powerful super greens plus marine minerals, Clean Greens is a pure wholefood source of magnesium, calcium, potassium, vitamins A and B12. This supports the acid-alkaline balance in your body, protects your immune system, promotes energy, supports digestion, balances electrolytes and supports muscle and nerve function and is low FODMAP friendly. This is a great addition to your diet for wholefood nutrition while losing the nutrition from other foods in the elimination phase.

Bone Broths: Bone broth is another excellent gut supporter due to the collagen protein content. While typically most broths contain garlic and onion, there are some delicious and nutritious choices from our wide range that do not, so you can enjoy broth in your cooking or on its own during the elimination stage and beyond.

The following Bone Broths products are Low FODMAP:

• Chicken Bone Broth Homestyle Original
• Beef Bone Broth Hearty Original
• Beef Bone Broth Turmeric
• Beef Bone Broth Concentrate Natural Beef
• Beef Bone Broth Concentrate ACV Lemon Ginger

Vegetable Broth Low FODMAP is also another great option that is packed with refractance dried veggies for maximum nutrition and flavour. It is also naturally nourishing with calcium, zinc, folate & B vitamins to support immunity, energy and gut wellbeing.

When following any diet for holistic health reasons, consulting a dietician is paramount. Professional diagnosis and advice should be the first point of call before limiting foods in your diet. Remember too that following a low FODMAP diet can still be oh so delicious and the end result is so worth it to find your triggering foods.

This article is not, nor is it intended to be, a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment and should never be relied upon for specific medical advice. Please obtain medical advice relevant to your particular circumstances from your health professional.

If you’re a newcomer or need a little recap on the benefits of bone broth and how exactly it is naturally nourishing, it comes down to the beneficial collagen protein, essential amino acids (found in our Bone Broth Concentrates & beef and chicken bone broth powders) and wholefood zinc and B vitamins, plus loads of wholefood veggies in our Vegetable Broths.

5 ways to use bone broth

1. Bone broth in the morning instead of coffee

Before you cringe and shudder at the thought of broth in the morning instead of your coffee, just remember coffee may give you a quick boost, but often it means an afternoon crash. While coffee certainly has its benefits, the benefits of bone broth first thing in the morning far outweigh the benefits of coffee.

So why first thing in the morning you ask? The naturally occurring glutamine, proline and glycine in bone broth have been shown to maintain gut wellbeing by protecting the lining of the digestive tract. This means the first thing to enter your digestive system is a nourishing and soothing broth to set you and your digestion up for the day ahead. Feeding your gut with bone broth first thing in the morning will have a soothing effect, so if you struggle with digestive discomfort or the like, it can be a great add-on to support your digestive system. Plus Glycine has been shown to naturally increase our bodies’ serotonin, which stabilises mood, wellbeing and all those general feelings of happiness.

The protein in broth also allows our bodies to be fuller for longer, studies have shown when we eat enough protein our chances of having cravings are much lower, 10.30 am sweet tooth cravings we’re looking at you.

2. Bone broth to replace stock

Bone broth and vegetable broth is not only a delicious and natural flavour enhancer for soups, stews, gravies and savoury meals, but it also infuses your meal with all the benefits of bone broth. So when you cook up your savoury meal, replace using regular store bought stock for a Nutra Organics Bone Broth for added nutritional value.

Check out our blog to learn more about the differences between broth and stock and the added benefits of switching store-bought stock for our naturally nourishing bone broths.

3. Bone broth used in place of seasoning

This bone broth hack is strictly a job for bone broth powders and vegetable broth powders. Simply sprinkle your choice of bone broth powder onto your salads, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, avocado toast and anywhere else you normally use salt or pepper or seasoning. Our bone broth powders contain salt and pepper to bring out and add flavour to your meals, plus with the additional benefits and flavours (like Mushroom, Miso Ramen, Garden Herb and Turmeric) that compliment salads, eggs and toast.

4. Bone broth in meals

Our bone broth powders and concentrates are ultra versatile and great to boost not only the nutritional value of a meal, but also to enhance the flavour profile naturally and with ease. Some great examples of this and our favourites are; Brothy Roast Potatoes, Thai Style Roast Pumpkin Soup, 15 Minutes Chilli Beef Noodles and Caramelised Chicken Broth Gyozas.

Spiking your meals with gut and immune bolstering benefits means the fussy kids in the family will be none the wiser to the nutritional benefits you’re sneaking into their delicious meals. Our favourite recipes for kids broth infused meals are The Nutritious Land Before Time, Veggie Hero Rice Cakes, Chicken Couscous and Satay Veggie Noodles.

5. Bone broth as a pre-workout & post workout support

Some studies have shown that ingesting a good quality bone broth before and after exercise can enhance performance and speed up the recovery process. Taking bone broth at least one hour before exercise is optimal for bodily digestion and energy. The late great NBA star Kobe Bryant swore by bone broth for recovery of bones, muscles and enhanced performance, that’s a slam dunk for bone broth right there.

Bone broth is also great for your bones, skin, hair and nails, it’s the gut health flow that brings that outer glow. Feeling beautiful, energetic and healthy with multiple benefits - need any more reasons to take your broth everyday?

Bone Broth has many uses and benefits that outnumber five simple ways (we had to condense them into five), and is an absolute pantry staple to use in your everyday life or to add to your wellness routines. We’ve found one of the keys to longevity when it comes to healthy habits is small steps, plus mixing up the routine to keep it fresh and fun - because wellness doesn’t have to be boring and bland, just ask our broths!

In more recent times, bone broth has come into the spotlight again and is used by the likes of athletes, celebrities and wellness gurus around the world for its many benefits. While there may be so many wellness fads and trends that come and go with loads of hype and little effect, the bone broth trend is here to stay with actual benefits, nutrition and research surrounding this age-old cooking method for nutrient extraction. Our Broth Powders and Beef Bone Broth Concentrates are a nutritious alternative to homemade broth - because ain't nobody got time for 24 hours of slow cooking!

While the many numerous bone broth benefits haven’t changed, the method of cooking and extracting nutrients certainly has. Can you imagine using an animal’s body or carcass as a pot and dropping hot stones in to heat the water up? Yikes, and yet this is what the Hunter-Gatherers would do, and I’m sure it makes you pretty darn grateful for the invention of stoves and pots right about now.

When the stove came onto the scene, so too did gas and electricity bills, so as you can imagine, using a stove for 8 hours at home can be a time-consuming and expensive operation. This is where dehydrated cubes and stocks came into play. Unlike many dehydrated stocks or powdered broths, our powdered broths are dried using a unique method called refractance drying, which is a gentle drying method that allows for the highest quality of nutrition, flavour and colour. Our bone broth concentrates are cooked over hours and hours and are naturally nourishing with over 40% collagen protein and zinc to support immunity & gut wellbeing. Flavour-packed and ready to enhance your cooking, or delicious on its own as a drink, our concentrates won't be beaten on flavour & nutritional benefits.

During the 1800s some really clever people started to take the gelatin from bone broth, however, it wasn’t the gelatin in a powder form (like Natural Gelatin) as you know it, it was gelatinous and an extremely time-consuming process to purify the gelatin as many used it in desserts, so getting rid of the meaty flavour was a must.

The difference between bone broth and gelatin is the flavour and usage. Gelatin has the same amino acid profile as bone broth but has no flavour, making it great for sweet treats and gummies. Whereas our bone broth powders and concentrates, (as well as vegetable broth powders) contain wholefood zinc and B vitamins for added gut and immunity support.

If you’ve been on the hunt (thank goodness we don’t have to literally hunt right?) for grass-fed bone broth made with Australian beef bones, then your search is finally over. Nutra Organics Bone Broth Concentrates, Bone Broth Powders and Vegetable Broth Powders are here to bring gut and immunity support whilst naturally nourishing your meals, soups, stews and gravies.

Are broth and stock the same thing?

There is quite a lot of confusion out there about whether broth and stock are the same thing, and although you can use broth instead of stock (we’ll get into that in a moment) there are a few key differences. There are many articles that will tell you that stock is often made from bones and broth is made from meat, it’s all relative to the brand and if it is simply broth or bone broth.

Our bone broth powders (chicken and beef) and bone broth concentrates are made from primarily bones. Chicken bones or beef bones are added to filtered water and apple cider vinegar (to maximise nutrient extraction) and then slow-cooked for hours. The broth is then strained for impurities and then the fat is skimmed off the top. Depending on the flavour profile we will then add the highest quality and all-natural flavours, herbs and spices. For the bone broth powders, it is then gently refractance dried into a powder, taking care to preserve the nutritional profile.

Stock commonly bought from the supermarket isn’t slow-cooked and is often packed with fillers, sugar, glucose, colours and preservatives. Stock is often made from beef and sometimes bones and vegetables. While so much information out there will tell you broth is made only from meat, make sure you are reading the labels as broth and bone broth are quite different. If your main takeaway from this is to always read the label, look at the quality, avoid nasties and look at the nutritional value offered - then you’re on the money, this is where the main difference will be.

Can you use broth instead of stock?

The short answer here is, yes! Broth and stock are pretty much interchangeable, so where you would normally use stock in soups, stews and gravies, you can use bone broth powders and concentrates and enjoy all the nutritional benefits as well as the delicious flavours that enhance your cooking.

Make sure to read the package directions for our bone broth for the specific amounts of water to add, as concentrates and powders will differ. Our Beef Bone Broth Concentrates are rich in flavour profile and require less for enhancing your cooking, whereas our Bone Broth Powders have a more subtle and soft flavour, which is great for travelling, sprinkling on salads and making a cup of nutritional broth on the go. Our broth powders and concentrates can both be used for the exact same purposes, it really comes down to personal preference with type and flavour.

Key benefits of broth compared to stock

When looking at the benefits of bone broth compared to stock you really do have to look at the specific brand as not all bone broths are equal and not all stocks are equal. While we can’t speak for every stock in general or even every bone broth, we most certainly can speak to the efficacy of our bone broth concentrates and powders in comparison to store-bought stocks.

Bone Broth has been used for centuries to support immunity, gut, bones, glowing skin and so much more. Our Beef Bone Broth Concentrates and powders are a nutritious alternative to homemade broth - because ain't nobody got time for 24 hours of slow cooking.

Benefits of Bone Broth

In terms of bone broth benefits, our bone broth concentrates and powder bone broths are much the same. Our Beef Bone Broth Concentrates are naturally nourishing with over 40% collagen protein, plus zinc to support immunity, bone support & gut wellbeing. While our chicken and beef bone broth powders also support immunity, energy and gut wellbeing with zinc and B vitamins.

Our vegetable broths also contain amazing benefits with calcium, zinc, folate & B vitamins to support immunity, energy and gut wellbeing. The vegetable broths are naturally delicious and gently refractance dried into a powder for maximum nutrients. Our broths won't be beaten on flavour & nutritional benefits, which makes them the perfect alternative to store-bought stocks for cooking and to drink on their own as a yummy nutritional cup of broth.

Bone Broth in cooking

Aside from having bone broth in hot water first thing in the morning, bone broth has also made an appearance in loads of our crowd-favourite recipes. Including family-friendly recipes, snacks, lunches and dinners on the fly or dinners to impress with the in-laws. Some of our personal favourites are Mushroom Tagliatelle, Classic Beef Stew, 15 Minute Butterbean Stew, Instant Noodle Broth and Brothy Roast Potatoes.

So when it comes to using broth or storebought stock in your cooking and on its own, it really does come down to understanding the key differences between the two as well as the key benefits of the bone broth. In terms of what our bone broths offer, it’s a no-brainer for us to swap out store-bought stocks for our nutritional Bone Broth Range made from grass-fed Australian Beef Bones, Australian, Certified Organic, Free Range Chicken Bones and high quality (organic where possible) vegetables, herbs and spices.

“Our audience asked, so we did it! Nutra Organics has always been known for its nutritious and delicious bone broth powders. We started with plain broth powders and quickly expanded our range to 14 different flavour varieties of broths ranging from beef to chicken to vegetable. Along with requests from our loyal people, aka customers, we also saw a need for a high quality bone broth concentrate on the market, and so was born our Beef Bone Broth concentrates.” - Ricki Harrison, Nutra Organics COO.

What is Bone Broth Concentrate?

Bone broth uses a slow cooking method to extract maximum flavour and nutrition from the bones of grass fed beef cattle. You might be surprised to find that bone broth concentrate originates from prehistoric times, and gained more popularity from traditional use in Chinese medicine. Bone broth is often referred to as 'liquid gold' and this reputation has unsurprisingly stuck around for the long run because of the numerous benefits of bone broth. Bone broth is commonly used now for enhancing the flavour of meals or as a delicious hot cup of broth and to support immunity, gut, skin and bone health.

What are the Key Benefits of Bone Broth Concentrates?

Bone broth is consumed around the world and tooted by celebrities, athletes and wellbeing enthusiasts for its many nutritional benefits. The benefits of bone broth make consuming these delicious bone broth concentrates one of the easiest and most delicious ways to boost your wellbeing.

Benefits of Bone Broth for Immunity

Bone broth concentrate is great for immunity, thanks to the nutrients that affect the gut, as the majority of our immune system lives in the gut. The health of your gut contributes to some super important areas like immunity, mood, digestion, sleep, brain health, heart health and skin health. Maintaining gut wellbeing has a positive roll-on effect for the immune system and for whole body wellbeing. Our Bone Broth Concentrates are also grass fed and grass fed bone broth is richer in nutrients and antioxidants, which the immune system will love you for.

Benefits of Bone Broth for Gut Health

Bone broth concentrates are wonderful for boosting gut health. Nutra Organics Bone Broth Concentrates contain over 40% collagen protein, and our collagen protein contains the amino acid L-glutamine. L-glutamine feeds the cells lining the gut, helping them to create a strong surface and healthy lining and therefore a healthier immune system. Try taking your bone broth concentrate when the sun rises as there are many benefits of bone broth first thing in the morning. Look, if Kendall Jenner swears by it, you might be worth giving a go, right?

All of our bone broth concentrates contain apple cider vinegar, which is great for naturally enhancing the extraction of collagen and other nutritious elements from the bone to ensure that our bone broth contains all the possible benefits.

Benefits of Bone Broth Concentrates for Energy Levels

Bone broth is great for energy too, hence why it’s a great coffee replacement first thing in the morning. The energy boost is due to glycine in the collagen protein. Glycine has been shown to increase the body’s serotonin without increasing dopamine, (so no jitters like coffee can do). Glycine is an amino acid the body naturally makes, however there are many times when our body doesn’t make quite enough; like when we’re feeling a little under the weather, therefore our bone broth concentrates are a great energy booster all year round.

How is Nutra Organics Bone Broth Concentrate different from our Powder Bone Broths?

In terms of bone broth benefits, our bone broth concentrates and powder bone broths are much the same with benefits for the immune system, gut wellbeing and energy. However, in terms of flavour profile, format and uses, there are a few key differences.
Our bone broth concentrates have a rich flavour profile, meaning it’s great for soups, stews, gravies and cooking with a smaller amount needed, whereas our powder bone broths have a delicate flavour profile. Our bone broth concentrates also need to be refrigerated once opened and used within 4 weeks, and our powders are more shelf stable and better for travelling.
