Spirulina, your everyday health ally!

What are the origins of Performe?   

Performe was founded in 2020 and is a French brand of natural dietary supplements made from microalgae. Thanks to more than 25 years of family expertise, Performe offers you the best of spirulina in liquid supplements for better absorption and optimal effectiveness.

Our priority is to guarantee our customers the transparency and traceability of our products. Our supplements are manufactured from start to finish on our eco-farm in the heart of the Pyrénées-Orientales in the south of France.

Bertrand Lépine has been cultivating spirulina in France for 25 years. He invented and marketed the first liquid spirulina extracts titrated in phycocyanin (patent 1999). Still passionate about this cyanobacterium, he has a production greenhouse and a laboratory where he conducts R&D and extracts liquid extracts. Thanks to this expertise, Kévin and Antoine, the founders of Performe, have developed a fresh spirulina liquid extract concentrated in phycocyanin that is highly bioavailable and pleasant to consume.

 What is spirulina? 

Spirulina is one of the oldest living microorganisms on our planet. This microalgae is made up of two pigments: chlorophyll and phycocyanin. For nearly 50 years, spirulina has been considered a health food and dietary supplement, which is why Performe, with over 25 years of expertise, decided to cultivate this microalgae. 

 

Consuming our dry spirulina flakes, rich in protein, iron, and amino acids, will add that little extra nutritional boost to your salads, yogurts, or smoothies. Our liquid blue spirulina, rich in phycocyanin, will support your daily well-being. It will boost your immune system, help reduce inflammation, increase your energy levels, and improve your recovery.

 

 

 

Spiruline

What are its health benefits?

Beyond its rich nutritional value, spirulina has a significant impact on our body. It gives your microbiota a boost, as revealed in an article published in the journal Microbiology Open. This microalgae increases the number of bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are beneficial to our health.

Blue spirulina, thanks to its concentration of phycocyanin (the blue-red pigment in spirulina), has many benefits for the body:

    • Natural anti-inflammatory action that does not cause any digestive problems. It reduces pain by inhibiting inflammation.  
    • It helps increase hemoglobin levels in the blood, which improves muscle oxygenation and enhances recovery from fatigue.  
    • It strengthens immunity. An in vivo study published in the Journal of Applied Phycology revealed that it promotes the proliferation of immune cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow.  
    • Has an antioxidant effect. Oxidative stress is damage to cells caused by free radicals. It is the result of an imbalance between antioxidant and pro-oxidant free radicals, causing cellular aging. Several scientific studies have demonstrated the antioxidant power of phycocyanin, which traps these free radicals.

BRAINEFFECT, the vegan dietary supplement brand

Who is BRAINEFFECT?

BRAINEFFECT is a brand of high-quality vegan dietary supplements that support and improve the four pillars of a sharp, balanced, and strong mind: well-being, sleep, energy, and concentration.

The way you nourish your mind today affects the person you will be tomorrow. Fabian Foelsch, a former elite athlete, understood early on the importance of healthy nutrition for the body and mind in order to achieve better mental performance, better sleep, and combat stress.

Unable to find healthy, accessible, or suitable products, Fabian Foelsch launched the BRAINEFFECT brand in Germany in 2016.

Today, BRAINEFFECT enables millions of people to give their minds the attention and nutrients they deserve.

BRAINEFFECT dietary supplements

BRAINEFFECT offers a wide range of products tailored to individual needs, for better sleep, greater well-being, energy, and concentration, in the form of sprays, oils, capsules, powdered drinks, and even gummies.

In 2016, BRAINEFFECT created the first spray with melatonin in Europe: SLEEP SPRAY. SLEEP SPRAY is an oral spray that combines melatonin, the natural sleep hormone, with calming plant extracts such as ashwagandha and lavender, helping you fall asleep in less than 15 minutes and enjoy better quality sleep. Thanks to its easy dosage and quick and simple administration, SLEEP SPRAY also helps with nighttime awakenings.

The GUARD formula, a dietary supplement in capsule form for better digestion, has recently been improved. GUARD now contains more than 20 billion probiotics from 20 different cultures, calcium for digestion, dietary fiber, and niacin for the intestinal mucosa.

Take two capsules every morning to improve your digestion and help rebuild your intestinal flora.

A healthy microbiota plays a key role in improving mental and physical well-being. It's no coincidence that the gut is called our second brain. A healthy microbiota not only promotes good digestion, but also plays a role in our energy levels, strengthening the immune system and improving the synthesis of serotonin, the happiness hormone.

BrainEffect

What is their expertise?

BRAINEFFECT aims to promote change and transformation. With a team of experts in biochemistry, neurobiology, and specialized nutrition, BRAINEFFECT has acquired real expertise in the fields of sleep, microbiota, and mental well-being. All BRAINEFFECT products are developed and tested in Germany according to high quality standards, to provide you with innovative, scientifically based, and effective dietary supplements.

BRAINEFFECT is also a brand committed to enabling everyone to follow a healthy, active lifestyle and achieve better mental well-being. This is achieved in particular through the co-creation of podcasts and online events, inviting nutritionists and health experts to raise awareness around the topics of sleep, stress, and nutrition.

Taking care of your intestinal system to combat intestinal hyperpermeability

Laboratoire NG, experts in micro-nutrition

The laboratory was founded in 2012 when a doctor with a passion for nutrition and micro-nutrition met a farmer who was aware of the virtues of plants. 

Laboratoire NG is supported by a team of healthcare practitioners who are passionate about phytotherapy. They develop specific formulas and manufacture all of their products in France, working with prescribing therapists and certain physical points of sale (pharmacies, drugstores, herbalists, organic stores, etc.).

The role of our intestinal ecosystem

The intestine plays an essential role in our daily health and in maintaining it. It is the key organ for immunity in the digestive tract, but also for our overall immune defense. It is also thanks to the intestine that the nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of our body are absorbed and redistributed where our body needs them.

The intestinal mucosa is like a huge filter whose role is to allow the nutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) we need to live to pass through. It prevents the penetration of microorganisms, macromolecules, and toxic compounds that could create an imbalance in our metabolism. 

The intestinal wall is lined with a very thin epithelium, composed of villi and microvilli, which are very finely pleated. It consists mainly of a single layer of cells, called enterocytes, which act as a mechanical barrier to the contents of the intestine.

 

 

 

What is intestinal hyperpermeability?

The proper functioning of our intestinal system depends greatly on the quality of our diet and the type of food we eat. In the days of hunter-gatherers, our diet was low in carbohydrates and sodium and rich in potassium, protein, and fiber, whereas today we probably consume too many ultra-processed foods, modern wheat, and refined sugar, which our bodies have difficulty accepting.

In addition, chronic stress (which acidifies the body 300 to 400 times more than food) is also a source of intestinal barrier disruption, as is the continuous use of medications (antibiotics, antidepressants, etc.). 

The result is an alteration of the gut microbiota, which becomes scarce and of poor quality, favoring pathogenic bacteria at the expense of good bacteria: this is known as intestinal dysbiosis. The mucus that lines the intestinal wall diminishes and weakens it, the intestinal microvilli are altered, the tight junctions that hold the intestinal cells together open up, and our intestine becomes a real sieve: it becomes hyperpermeable.

 

 

 

How can you regenerate your gut and restore your intestinal ecosystem?

It is advisable to adopt a hypotoxic and anti-inflammatory diet (vegetables, fruit, small oily fish, legumes, etc.), and to work on your emotions, sleep, and lifestyle. 

It is useful to support intestinal function by consuming nutrients that will relieve gastrointestinal irritation, help restore the intestinal mucosa, and thus reduce intestinal hyperpermeability.

cicaflor

What are the benefits of Laboratoire NG products?

Their Cicaflor product is a combination of synergistic active ingredients that help combat intestinal hyperpermeability.

  • L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the blood and muscles. It plays a role in protein synthesis, immune protection, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal wall, and the body's acid-base balance.
  • Turmeric extract contributes to normal intestinal function and helps reduce the effects of oxidative stress.
  • Propolis has strong antimicrobial and antifungal properties and stimulates our immunity.
  • Chamomile, rich in polyphenols, is an excellent anti-inflammatory and has soothing properties.
  • Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Vitanutrics, access tomorrow's health today 

Who is Vitanutrics?   

Vitanutrics is a Belgian company founded in 2012 that specializes in the development and distribution of natural health products, such as dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and biocidal products. 

Their team works closely with healthcare professionals (doctors, pharmacists, micronutritionists, etc.) and research centers (Liège University Hospital) on a daily basis to offer natural and effective micronutrition solutions.

The founders of Vitanutrics (Christian De Moortel and Dr. Ludovic Rondini) share a common vision: to offer practical and targeted solutions for sustainable health.

vitanutrics

Why choose Vitanutrics products?

The Vitanutrics range currently consists of around thirty products.

Four core values have guided the development of this range: 

  • Innovation: This is reflected in the products' easy-to-use galenic forms (sublingual spray, drops, etc.), innovative active ingredients (phospholipids, partially hydrolyzed collagen, bisglycinates, etc.), and technologies that ensure better absorption or stability (microencapsulation, liposomal forms, double caps, etc.).

  • Effectiveness: Vitanutrics products contain carefully measured active ingredients, whose effectiveness has been verified by clinical studies. Our formulas are designed and developed to promote synergies. The goal is to guarantee maximum effectiveness for the greatest satisfaction of our customers and the healthcare professionals who recommend our products.

  • Bioavailability: All too often, nutritional intake is considered on the basis of quantitative rather than qualitative criteria. However, not all forms of nutrients are equal: some are better absorbed than others, while some are more easily eliminated. Taking these criteria into account ensures maximum efficacy of the formulas and optimal tolerance of our products.

  • Proximity: For Vitanutrics, proximity means attentive customer service. All our employees are trained in micronutrition and have a thorough knowledge of our products.

 

 

 

Vitanutrics

What is their expertise? 

Over the past twenty years, knowledge of nutrition and micronutrition has advanced significantly. Major advances have been made in understanding the microbiota, nutrigenomics, epigenetics, and the links between nutrients and cells.

Vitanutrics develops and distributes innovative natural health products based on all this scientific knowledge.

For the past 10 years, Vitanutrics has been putting this expertise at the service of healthcare professionals and patients to promote sustainable health.

In addition, the Vitanutrics team is committed to preserving our environment. Faced with climate and environmental issues, they have decided to take several concrete actions to contribute, at their level, to a more sustainable and responsible planet.

At Vitanutrics, they are committed to: 

  • Packaging their products in more eco-friendly packaging (plant-based plastic, FSC-certified cardboard)
  • Using the most natural excipients possible, such as acacia fiber
  • Funding organizations involved in reforestation (in 2021, they joined forces with the Belgian NGO Graine de Vie)
  • Minimizing their carbon footprint within the company

What are the health benefits?

Today, with our lifestyles and eating habits, it is very difficult to meet all our micronutrient needs. In fact, our diet is much less rich in vitamins and minerals than it was 100 years ago. This is due to changes in agricultural techniques and the (ultra) processing of our food…

Long-term deficiencies can contribute to the development of several diseases.

Compliment has therefore developed, in collaboration with Belgian laboratories, a range of essential supplements (vitamins C, D, magnesium, etc.) as well as more specific supplements, designed to meet your individual goals.

Whether you want to lose weight, boost your energy and vitality, improve your digestion, get better quality sleep or achieve more radiant skin, Compliment offers a personalized response to every health goal.

The supplements are designed by the scientific board to be easily absorbed with the right doses of each active ingredient to have a positive impact.

What is their expertise?

Compliment makes the customer experience easier with an algorithm that takes all your needs into account. You'll get your monthly supply of dietary supplements delivered right to your door. The treatment can be adjusted based on your needs.

The dietary supplements offered contain ingredients with scientifically proven health benefits. The formulas are effective and designed to avoid any side effects.

Finally, the startup works locally. All formulas are developed and manufactured in Belgium. The dietary supplements are then packaged in a sheltered workshop in Brussels by people with disabilities.

 

What are their labels?

All supplements are guaranteed GMO-free, nanoparticle-free, lactose-free, and gluten-free. In addition, most are vegan.
