Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub found in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Its roots have been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years, and it has been used in Herbal Medicine as a rejuvenation tonic.

KSM-66 Ashwagandha® is the most concentrated and extensively studied full-spectrum root extract on the market. Numerous research and clinical studies have been completed on this ingredient, demonstrating its effectiveness for a range of uses. A daily dose of 600 mg has been shown to have clinical benefits including stress reduction, improved sleep quality, and sexual wellness. Additionally, it supports workout performance and aerobic endurance.

Oxyjun® is an extract made from the bark of the Terminalia arjuna, commonly called arjuna, tree which is native to India. The bark is rich in bioactives, including polyphenols.

GUT GLOW is a gut health supplement designed to work with your body to support your individual needs. It delivers clinically studied soluble fibers, Sunfiber® (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) and inavea™ (acacia gum), as well as tremella (also known as, silver ear) (Tremella fuciformis) mushroom extract to support healthy gastrointestinal function, improve regularity, and aid in immune system regulation.  

GUT GLOW delivers clinically studied soluble fibers, Sunfiber® (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) and inavea™ (acacia gum), as well as tremella (also known as, silver ear) (Tremella fuciformis) mushroom extract to support healthy gastrointestinal function, and improve regularity, and aid in immune system regulation. The unique addition of tremella mushroom extract is formulated with ingredients that help support your overall health while reducing the impact on the planet.

Simply, the gut-skin axis is the connection, or inter-relationship, between the gastrointestinal system and the skin, and how this relationship impacts the health and functioning of each.  
At first glance, the gut and skin appear to be separate, however, they are connected via bi-directional communication through the circulation of signaling molecules (such as metabolites, nutrients, hormones, and neurotransmitters) throughout the body by the blood and lymph – through the circulatory and lymphatic systems (O’Neill 2016; De Pessemier 2021). These signaling molecules are produced by the gut, and its microbiota, and the skin and its residing microbiota (O’Neill 2016) – therefore, the gut microbiota is a key aspect of the gut-skin axis. On a broader scale, the body’s microbiome (all of the microorganisms that live in and on the body) is a pivotal regulator of the immune system (De Pessemier 2021). Its goal is to maintain a normal, and healthy balance, known as homeostasis, within the body through communication via signaling molecules, as mentioned earlier. In turn, the tissues and organs communicate with the body’s microbiome. The impact of the gut and skin’s microbiome on the body’s immune response is a particularly interesting aspect of the gut-skin axis since both the skin and gut are integral parts of the body’s immune system. This is why it is we specifically formulated GUT GLOW with well-tolerated, clinically studied soluble fibers to support GI function and the maintenance of good health, along with tremella mushroom extract, to provide immune system regulation, through immunomodulation.   
See our Gut-Skin-Axis blog for more details!

GUT GLOW contains partially hydrolyzed guar gum, acacia gum and tremella (Tremella fuciformis) mushroom extract (also known as silver ear mushroom)

No, all of the ingredients in GUT GLOW have an active purpose.

The two serving options allow GUT GLOW to be customized according to your personal needs or desired outcome. Individuals with specific gastrointestinal concerns related to symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – including bloating, or bowel regulation, may choose to take 3 scoops daily, while others looking to increase their fiber intake as part of their wellness routine may choose to take 2 scoops daily.  
Both serving sizes provide the immune regulating benefits of tremella (silver ear) mushroom.  

Gut GLOW contains 45 x 2 scoop servings or 30 x 3 scoop servings.   

GUT GLOW can be added to both hot and cold beverages, making it very versatile. 

Partially hydrolysed guar gum and acacia, provide a blend of soluble fibers to maintain healthy gastrointestinal function, which includes improving bowel regularity (including constipation and/or diarrhea), helps bring stool consistency to normal conditions, and regulate bowel movement frequency – all of which support overall all wellbeing. Additionally, when Gut Glow is taken with food/meal, these fibers help reduce the glycemic response and glycemic index associated with the food/meal; this means the raise in blood sugar will be slower and lower, which provides a more sustained source of energy, leaving you feeling fuller longer.  

Tremella (silver ear) mushroom extract provides fungal polysaccharides which have immunomodulating properties – simply, these polysaccharides help adjust and regulate the immune system. 

Partially hydrolysed guar gum is a soluble, galactomannan-based, fiber made from guar beans. Hydrolyzed means the guar gum is broken in to smaller units through an enzymatic process. This decreases the viscosity and improves guar gum’s solubility while maintaining the fiber content.  

Soluble fibers are water soluble, olysaccharides (long chain carbohydrate molecules) that can be fermented in the colon. While some fibers may cause gastrointestinal upset or discomfort, partially hydrolyzed guar gum is gentle
on the gut and is well tolerated at the dose included in GUT GLOW.  

Acacia, also called acacia gum, is a complex, highly branched polysaccharide, soluble fiber derived from the gum (sap) of acacia trees.  

Soluble fibers are water soluble, olysaccharides (long chain carbohydrate molecules) that can be fermented in the colon. While some fibers may cause gastrointestinal upset or discomfort, acacia is gentle on the gut and is well tolerated at the dose included in GUT GLOW.  

Immunomodulating properties means the ability of a substance to help adjust and regulate the body’s immune system in response to its particular needs.  

As with all supplements, we recommend you consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding to make sure the product is right for you.  

No, GUT GLOW isn’t a laxative.
However, at a 3 scoop dose, GUT GLOW helps regulate the frequency of bowel
movements and provides a gentle relief of constipation.  
Please consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen or if a
laxative effect does not occur within seven days.

Yes, GUT GLOW is vegan friendly. It does not contain any materials derived from animals.

RESET aids your body’s detoxification process by supporting liver function and providing antioxidants to protect your cells from oxidative damage caused by exposure to free radicals. In addition to supporting your body’s natural cleansing system, RESET helps relieve digestive disturbances. The liver is an essential organ responsible for processing most everything you consume, inhaled and absorbed by your skin – it’s your body’s main defense against toxins and aids in digestion.

RESET aids your body’s detoxification process by supporting liver function and providing antioxidants to protect your cells from oxidative dOur bodies have natural detoxification pathways, but with the increased toxic exposure we face in today’s world, those pathways can become overburdened. Therefore, RESET was formulated for adults, who could all benefit from including RESET, which provides 2 medicinal ingredients to protect and support your liver, in your supplement routine. 

RESET aids your body’s detoxification process by supporting liver function and providing antioxidants to protect your cells from oxidative damage. Our bodies have natural detoxification pathways, but with the increased toxic exposure we face in today’s world, those pathways can become overburdened. Therefore, RESET was formulated for adults, who could all benefit from including RESET, which provides 2 medicinal ingredients to protect and support your liver. Milk thistle extract is a well established ingredient that supports liver function and has liver protectant activities. We stand behind its use for these purposes. In addition, RESET contains broccoli sprout powder which contains antioxidants that help protect cells from free radical damage. Exposure to the toxins can increase your body’s free radical load. Therefore, supporting liver function while reducing oxidative damage caused by free radicals is how RESET uniquely supports your body’s natural detoxification.  

Yes, RESET is our first vegan product!

Our finished products are not tested for the presence of gluten. However, the input ingredients used in RESET do not contain any known sources of gluten.

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a healthcare practitioner prior to taking RESET to ensure it’s right for you.

Yes, RESET is a great addition to Bend Beauty’s family of products. In addition, It optimizes Skin Climate through mechanisms different than the RENEW + PROTECT and MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS – through the liver-skin-axis. The liver is a multifunctional organ that is involved in maintaining your body’s nutrient and hormonal balance, and detoxification. Poor liver function can lead to imbalances in your body’s physiology, including a build up of toxins and reduced ability to metabolize nutrients. Since your skin obtains its nutrients from the bloodstream, reduced liver function often first appears in the skin. Therefore, providing your body with nutrients proven to support healthy skin, protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals as well as aid liver function act together to optimize your Skin Climate.   

RENEW + PROTECT contains ingredients derived from animals, and therefore, it is not vegan. The formulation contains fish oil and vitamin D derived from sheep wool. The soft gels contain beeswax, and their capsule shell is made of bovine gelatin.

No. We do not conduct animal testing, or engage any third parties to do so.

RENEW + PROTECT does not have any known contraindications. However, as with any dietary supplement, we recommend that you consult with a healthcare practitioner prior to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, to make sure the product is right for you. You can find more info on this question on our blog here.

Typically, people first notice some results after two weeks, and full benefits after three to four months of supplementation. This is based on the amount of time the active ingredients tend to take to saturate your cells.

RENEW + PROTECT contains tocopherols derived from refined soybean oil. These tocopherols are highly refined, which puts them at low risk of causing a reaction. You may see “tocopherols (derived from non-GMO soy)” in the ingredient list; this is disclosed in case of extreme allergies.

It is unlikely that RENEW + PROTECT will interact with medications. However, as with any dietary supplement, we recommend that you consult with a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are taking any medications, or if you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition.

We encourage individuals with allergies to read our product labels prior to use to make sure they are right for their individual needs. Ingredients found in RENEW + PROTECT do not contain the major allergens: milk, eggs, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, or wheat. It does contain fish oil and tocopherols derived from highly refined soybean oil. Highly refined oils, such as soybean, are exempt from allergen labeling due to their low allergen risk. We do disclose the source material of tocopherols in case of extreme soy allergies. Our fish oil input is free from shellfish (which encompasses both mollusks and crustaceans), however, it may pose an allergen risk for those with fish allergies.

Since RENEW + PROTECT is an oil-based product, some people may experience mild gastrointestinal disturbances. Our MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS may also cause these symptoms.

Fish oil by itself is a great supplement for overall health. It would not, however, provide the skin related benefits associated with RENEW + PROTECT.

RENEW + PROTECT differs from fish oil supplements in a few ways. Firstly, it combines several synergistic ingredients into one supplement. The fish oil in RENEW + PROTECT provides a 3:1 ratio of EPA: DHA. Borage oil is a powerful skin health ingredient that supports skin barrier properties, and is very effective (along with EPA) in treating skin inflammation. Zeaxanthin (from paprika) and lutein (from marigold flowers) are powerful skin antioxidants that also work alongside EPA to protect against UV related skin damage and aging. It also contains vitamin D, which offers a myriad of skin health and longevity benefits.

The active ingredients in RENEW + PROTECT, particularly the fatty acids GLA, EPA, and DHA, have been shown to help improve symptoms such as roughness and redness associated with atopic dermatitis (the most common type of eczema).

We cannot guarantee the quality of our products beyond the expiry date.

Yes, RENEW + PROTECT contains fish oil, which is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It contains. 1050 mg of EPA and 350 mg DHA. In addition to these omega-3 fatty acids, RENEW + PROTECT contains the omega-6 fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA), antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, and vitamin D3. Together these ingredients work synergistically to produce clinically proven skin health and longevity benefits.

Our finished products are not tested for the presence of gluten. However, the input ingredients used in all our products do not contain any known sources of gluten.

This product is not intended for children. Please consult with a healthcare practitioner if you would like to pursue using RENEW + PROTECT outside of our label recommendations, including use by children.

Our products can be taken anytime. Some people prefer to take RENEW + PROTECT with food.

This product is not intended for children. Please consult with a healthcare practitioner if you would like to pursue using MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS outside of our label recommendations, including use by children.

The various sources differ in how they are processed. The thick hides of cows and pigs require 2-3 weeks of soaking in an acid or alkaline chemical to break down the tissue. Fish sources require minimal pretreatment and take approximately 36 hours to process into refined collagen peptide powder. 

Cow (bovine) and pig-sourced peptides may not be suitable for certain populations of people due to cultural or religious beliefs. Fish sources are typically consumed without such restrictions. 

Lastly, bovine-sourced peptides can have a significantly higher environmental footprint compared to marine-sourced peptides from wild fisheries, particularly those sourced from fisheries with a third-party sustainability certification, such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).

RENEW + PROTECT and MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS work well together, since they target different areas of skin health. ReENEW + PROTECT is the foundational product for delivering the overall greatest benefit to your skin. It targets skin inflammation, hydration, firmness, and elasticity, helping to optimize your internal skin climate. It also helps in reducing your skin’s sensitivity to UV- induced sunburn. Our MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORSis an ideal add-on. It is specially formulated with synergistic ingredients to help build and maintain collagen levels, supporting healthy skin, hair, and nails. This product provides a boost to your skincare regime.

The products can be taken together or alone, depending on your personal needs. However, the most benefit is seen when they are taken together.

We encourage individuals with allergies to read our product labels prior to use to make sure they are right for their individual needs. Ingredients found in Bend Beauty’s MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS (Strawberry, Coconut and Unflavoured) do not contain the major allergens: milk, eggs, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat or soybean. The hydrolyzed collagen is derived from fish skin (cod, haddock, and/or pollock), and therefore, it is not recommended for individuals with fish allergies, however, it is free from shellfish including mollusks and crustaceans.

Certain medications and over-the-counter supplements can interfere with the absorption or the actions of other products. Therefore, you should consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are taking any medications, other supplements, or are undergoing treatment for a medical condition.

Yes, this product can be added to tea or other hot beverages. We recommend that you add the MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS just before consuming the tea because vitamin C can degrade with long exposure to heat. However, heat exposure for the time it takes to consume a cup of tea or coffee is fine!

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a global nonprofit organization that works to protect oceans and seafood for the future. It sets standards for sustainable fishing and certifies fisheries that meet these standards. When you see the blue MSC label on seafood, it means the product comes from a fishery that is well-managed, minimizes environmental impact, and helps keep fish populations healthy.  

The MSC helps consumers make responsible choices and ensures that oceans remain full of life for generations to come. 

Our hydrolyzed marine collagen is derived from the skin of  MSC certified, sustainable wild-caught pollock (Theragra
chalcogramma) from the Bering Sea or Gulf of Alaska. Our hydrolyzed collagen is manufactured in Unalaska, Alaska, USA.
