Amla
Amla berry (Phyllanthus emblica) is also known as Indian Gooseberry or Amalaki in Ayurveda and has been used in India for centuries for its beauty and vitality-boosting properties.* Amla berry is a fruit that is grown on a tree. It’s often found wild and cultivated in all parts of India. It has a rich history in Ayurveda and has been traditionally used as a general tonic both topically and internally as a coolant to moderate excess heat and inflammation in the body and also to increase vitality, enhance digestion, stimulate hair growth, and promote longevity.*
Tremella Mushroom Extract
The tremella mushroom, or tremella fuciformis or “snow mushroom”, is an edible species of fungus that has been used in Eastern medicine for over a thousand years. This superfood ingredient is popular in dessert delicacies such as “snow fungus soup” and have historically been used to help boost skin hydration over time after being consumed.* The mushroom’s ability to hold water as well as its nutrient properties make it a skincare powerhouse.
Bamboo Leaf Extract
Bamboo leaf extract is one of our favorite ways to boost our hair, skin, and nail health.* Silica-rich bamboo has been used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese herbal medicine for centuries as a remedy to heal skin ailments, relieve congestion, promote bone health, and more.* Bamboo leaf extract, which is featured in all of our blends, is extracted from the roots and leaves of the bamboo plant, where the silica is plentiful
Biotin
Biotin is a member of the vitamin B complex family. Its primary functions include turning the nutrients we ingest (i.e. proteins, fats and carbohydrates) into energy that our body can use. This is important as many of our daily functions such as metabolic, digestive and cardiovascular wouldn't happen without it.* Each Copina Co. blend (of our new formula coming out in 2022) contains 3,000mcg Biotin per serving. That amounts to over 10,000% of your daily value.* This dosage of biotin has been shown to be an effective therapy for human patients with brittle nails. A daily dose of biotin helps support strong nail health and support collagen synthesis in the body.*
Gotu Kola Whole Plant Extract
Gotu Kola is an Ayurvedic herb with a history of healing the skin, which contains collagen-synthesis enhancing triterpenes such as asiaticoside.* Copina Co. uses Gotu Kola in whole plant extract form. It was selected by our herbalist partners because of its historical use treating patients with skin ailments and surface wounds. Gotu Kola has been shown to enhance the cross-linking of collagen and support increased collagen production in the body.* Several studies have shown that skin thickness, elasticity, and collagen levels all increased with the addition of Gotu Kola to a patient’s regimen.*
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid, also referred to as a hyaluronan, is a molecule made up of sugars that our bodies naturally produce. Our cells produce hyaluronic acid to balance moisture levels in our bodies, but make less of it as we age.* Our food grade hyaluronic acid helps to boost collagen production in our bodies and help our skin attract and retain moisture, helping with aging*. It’s also been shown to help smooth wrinkles, boost elasticity, help with skin firmness and boost skin radiance.* Another amazing thing about hyaluronic acid is that it has been shown to help lubricate joints and promote joint health.*
Matcha
Matcha is a whole leaf green tea which has been revered for its purity and health benefits for centuries. Matcha green tea, unlike regular green tea, is grown in the shade rather than the sun, enabling it to develop higher chlorophyll levels which give it its vibrant color. Matcha is an excellent substitute for coffee. One cup contains about ¼ the caffeine of a cup of coffee and helps the person enjoying it get a steady energy boost without the crash.* Matcha is also rich in L-Theanine, an amino acid that works to promote a brain function, concentration, and sense of calmness without the nervous energy or jitters.* L-Theanine can also work to reduce anxiety because of the high and raw amounts that are found in matcha.*
Irish Sea Moss
Sea moss is a type of ocean algae, or a sea vegetable that’s been used for centuries in places like Ireland and the Caribbean for its amazing health benefits. It’s recently, though, become super popular in the US. Irish Sea moss is also called "chondrus crispus" and grows mainly near Ireland, Great Britain, Maine, and Canada. Sea Moss is incredibly high in minerals and contains 92 of the 102 minerals our bodies need and is also packed with iodine.
