Hydrolysed Collagen
Our supplements are designed to support a balanced, nutritious diet. Our hydrolysed collagen can be taken at any time throughout the day with meals or beverages.
Our collagen is predominantly sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine and contains natural, quality ingredients.
Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins found naturally in our body, making up about 35% of our body’s protein content. It is often referred to as the 'glue' holding our entire body together. Collagen synthesis declines as we age, which is why supplementing may be useful, not just for Mums!
Heavy metals and bacteria are found in foods and water we consume daily. We third party test our collagen to ensure microbiology and heavy metal levels ranges remain well below the accepted range as determined by food standards Australia and New Zealand.
While collagen is generally considered safe and extremely beneficial in pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is important to consult with your own health care professional prior to commencing any new supplement or medication.
We value your individualised health journey.
Unfortunately there are no commercially viable sourced certified organic collagen at the moment. This is a global issue and hopefully will change as the industry expands.
Our hydrolysed collagen is sourced from predominantly grass-fed and pasture-raised bovine. However, due to some of the cows being located in climates where it snows for a significant amount of the year and due to other severe environmental conditions, cattle are occasionally fed non GMO grains to ensure survival.
It is important to discuss the use of all medications, vitamins and supplements with your health professional.
Yes! Our collagen is certified Halal.
Our collagen protein is standardised to contain type 1 and type 3 collagen. These types of collagen are the most abundant types present in the connective tissue in our body and as found in our hair, skin, bones, nails, muscles and ligaments.
When our collagen products are being mixed and first filled into our containers, the powder becomes aerated and extremely fluffy and the container is filled to the top. The powder then settles a few days later, to the point in which you have received it. If we were to put it into smaller containers they would be overflowing and we would not be able to fill it with the weight of the product specified on the packaging. Please be assured that your full dose of collagen is in there as we sell by weight, not volume.
Myo-Inositol
Myo-Inositol has a high safety profile and is found in many prenatal vitamins (smaller doses). It is present in breast milk and is also found naturally in foods we consume such as fruit and grains.
Myo-Inositol has been found to be beneficial for gestational diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, egg quality, sleep quality during pregnancy + more.
Although this supplement has a high safety profile it is important to consult your health professional prior to commencing any new supplement or medication to ensure it is suitable for your individual requirements.
No, absolutely not!
Myo-Inositol is used for many other things including: Insulin resistance, fertility, egg quality, menstrual cycle regularity, mental health, metabolic disorders, sleep quality, gestational diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, optimal functioning of the nervous system, reducing androgen levels, improving hormone health + so much more.
Myo-Inositol can be taken at any time of the day. Most individuals take split doses morning and night time or as recommended by their health professional.
As a dietary supplement it is recommended to start with 1/2 - 1 level teaspoon which is equivalent to the recommended dose of 2-4g.
It is important to consult your health professional for individual dosing requirements and prior to supplementing.
Unlike metformin which comes with some nasty side effects, Myo-Inositol supplements are generally well tolerated.
With larger doses e.g. 12g some individuals may experience nausea, bloating, dizziness and tiredness. If this occurs, please stop supplementation and consult your health professional.
We pride ourselves on providing high quality supplements.
Our product is sourced from 100% pharmaceutical Myo-Inositol and contains no GMOs, nasties or additives.
Our Myo-Inositol is third party heavy metal and microbiological tested which most conventional brands are not.
If products aren’t third party tested, we are simply assuming that the ingredients used are high quality as determined by the supplier.
At MH we do not feel comfortable making those assumptions and want to ensure our products continue to remain high quality for our peace of mind, as well as our community.
Heavy metals are everywhere, from the water we drink, to the food we consume everyday. By testing for heavy metals, this ensures that the levels in our products are safe and comply with accepted values as determined by food standards Australia & New Zealand. All of our products are analysed and come back well below the accepted range.
The same principle applies for microbiology testing. We are testing to ensure no harmful levels of bacteria are identified in the ingredients sourced.
Generally speaking and from most research, 3 months is typically when most individuals start to experience benefits.
For some individuals, benefits can be seen much earlier and for some later, just like with any supplement, individual results may vary.
It is important to discuss the use of all medications, vitamins and supplements with your health provider.
Every woman is different and has individualised health requirements. Please always consult your health provider prior to taking any supplement, vitamin or medication.
