Clinically Proven Supplements from Wellgard – I often ask myself, why the need for supplements in a balanced diet?
Unfortunately, our diets have changed over time. There has been an increase in fast food, more processed food is readily available and many whole foods contain a lot fewer nutrients compared to the previous decades, this makes our diets altogether deficient in certain essential nutrients.
For food to be nutrient-dense, the soil in which it has grown needs to be rich in nutrients. Unfortunately, due to overfarming, the soil no longer contains the nutrients we need.
Pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and other chemicals used in farming have reduced the nutrient content of foods.
Processing and refining to extend the shelf life of foods has destroyed their key nutrients, which have been lost.
Dieting for several years, and certain drugs can also take their toll on your body. Either restricting food intake or trying different diets, diet drinks or pills, can create a deficiency in several important vitamins and minerals.
Stress depletes important nutrients, that are needed for energy purposes, among other functions for body health.
Therefore, there is every chance we will all need supplementation at some stage of our lives or for certain symptoms/conditions that we want to deal with. However, not all nutritional supplements are created equally. Many can contain unwanted fillers, binders, and additives.
Aim for “clean” brands or quality food-based supplements.
UK based company Wellgard was born and raised in Brighton in 2016. From day one, they have been on a mission to hunt down the best ingredients to create a range of clinically proven supplements for modern lifestyles. After gathering a team of health and nutrition experts from the UK, Europe and further afield, they set out together to challenge the industry.
Today, over 100,000+ customers use their supplements to boost their health, well-being, and performance goals.
They have embraced an unconventional path; in that, they will never have a large selection of products because we will never settle for an average product.
Women Talking had the opportunity to try the following:
Hyalacid 300mg Hyaluronic Acid capsules
Through extensive clinical trials, Wellgard has produced a product they feel is more effective than a regular Hyaluronic Acid Serum at boosting hydration, reducing wrinkle depth, and increasing the skin’s elasticity.
This is due to the high daily dose of 300mg and much small molecular size (50-3000 daltons in molecular weight compared to an average HA serum of 2000-300,000 daltons).
Containing 300mg HYALURONIC ACID PER CAPSULE the Carefully calibrated formula delivers an intensive moisture shot to skin and body, working from the inside out.
Hyaluronan (HA) is a natural protein and a key element of Synovial fluid, which acts as a lubricant for your joints. Hyaluronan (HA) is present in every connective tissue and organ, such as skin, blood vessels, cartilage, etc. In particular, the skin has the largest quantity of HA in the body, with 50% of total body HA present in the skin.
The capsules are rapid release, vegan and clean formulation. The formula is free from animal products or derivatives, gluten, wheat, yeast, milk, lactose, artificial flavours, artificial sweeteners, preservatives.

Lions Mane Extract – the smartest mushroom.
Wellgard use hand-picked organically cultivated Lion’s Mane fruiting bodies which are hot-water extracted to create our entirely natural, nutrient-dense powder mushroom extract.
Chaga Mushroom Extract – King of Mushrooms.
Known throughout Russia and Asia as the “King of Mushrooms”, the revered Chaga mushroom has been traditionally used to retain youthful vibrancy.
Reishi Mushroom Extract – The Mushroom of Imortality.
Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have a long, noteworthy history. Valued for their health support in China and Japan for over 4,000 years, the Reishi mushroom has always been rare and expensive. This is because of the difficulty of cultivating them and finding them in the areas of the world where they grow, such as in the wilds of China, Japan, Korea, and other parts of Asia.
Maitake Mushroom Extract – The Dancing Mushroom.
Obtained through water extraction of the mushrooms fruiting bodies, which are proved to be much richer inactive ingredients and more abundant in beta-D-glucans rich polysaccharides, than mushrooms extracted from mycelium.
Cordyceps Mushroom Extract – The Stimulating Mushroom.
Shiitake Mushroom Extract – Rich Source of Vitamin D.
The organic Shiitake extract used in Wellgard Vital Mushroom is obtained by hot-water extraction of the mushrooms fruiting bodies, which are proved to be much richer inactive ingredients and more abundant in beta-D-glucans rich polysaccharides, than mushrooms extracted from mycelium.
Supplements should also be used in moderation and for a specific timeframe. Consult with your physician, naturopath, or nutritional therapist to make the right choice.
