One of the best ways we can boost our energy levels is by fueling ourselves with nourishing nutrient-dense food. Cellular energy is key to health. Our body is constantly creating energy within our cells, allowing our body to function on a daily basis. The mitochondria are the part of the cell that is responsible for energy production, so it’s essential they are able to function properly. This is where nutrients are so important, as the rate at which energy is produced is nutrient-dependent.

The best fuel for your mitochondria is B-Vitamins, Vitamin C, and COQ10. BePure One contains over 50 different highly bioavailable ingredients to support your optimal health, including all of the B-Vitamins we need for optimal energy and Vitamin C, so this is the best place to start to support your energy.

BePure Super Boost C is our Vitamin C powder, and taking an additional dose of Vitamin C during the day can be another fantastic way to support your mitochondrial function and energy. With a powerful formulation of 2:1 ratio of bioflavonoids to Vitamin C, BePure Super Boost C provides your body with a top-quality, high-strength dose of Vitamin C. Bioflavonoids recycle the Vitamin C electron, so once in your body, it essentially provides you with double the Vitamin C, hence it's incredibly high strength. BePure Super Boost C is created in an easily absorbed, delicious powder form, keeping you energised and your immune system healthy and strong.

BePure CoQ10 provides the optimal daily dose of naturally fermented coenzyme Q10, sourced from Japan. CoQ10 is found within every cell in the body and is essential for energy production. The coenzyme Q10 increases the efficiency of the electron transport chain within our cells and in essence, supports you in creating 'free energy'.


Our understanding about gut health is continuously growing but it is clear that it plays a key role in our wellness and so over time we have expanded our gut health range to support everything from constipation, diarrhea, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), bloating, reflux and more.

BePure Two Probiotic is a great place to start in terms of nourishing good gut health. This broad spectrum, high dose probiotic works to build up the beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract which then supports extraction of nutrients from our food, a healthy digestive tract and of course great overall wellbeing.

If you are looking to support reflux, digestion or bloating, Digest Assist is the best option for you. It contains a powerful combination of digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and bile-supporting properties to help break down your food.

Nutrition can also play an important role in supporting good gut health and key nutrients we recommend include Zinc, Vitamin D and Collagen.


Micronutrients can be a wonderful way to support your mood and mental well-being. We need nutrients for our brain to produce neurotransmitters and function optimally.

When it comes to our mental wellness, Magnesium promotes calming of the mind and body and helps us relax. It does this by assisting with muscle relaxation and increasing melatonin production to enhance sleep. And we all know how getting a great night’s sleep can positively impact our mood. BePure Magnesium Restore is a powerful combination of Magnesium bis-glycinate and L-carnitine to support both optimal absorption in the body and support the likes of energy, mood, sleep, and muscle restoration.

When it comes to your mood, Zinc is a key player in making your neurotransmitters, otherwise known as your happy hormones – serotonin and dopamine. Zinc also maintains a healthy nervous system function by looking after the vagus nerve, which connects the brain to the body. The vagus nerve is the passage through which messages of ‘calm’ are transported. A healthy nervous system connection can support and ease anxiety.

When you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with stress or anxiety, your body uses up your Zinc stores faster in an attempt to keep the body functioning at its baseline, so it's important to ensure your Zinc stores are topped up. BePure Zinc Restore provides high strength, and highly bioavailable form of Zinc picolinate to help boost low levels of Zinc and support our overall health and wellbeing.

Vitamin D is a nutrient that is very supportive of mood and mental well-being. Particularly in the winter months when our exposure to sunlight is lower, supplementing this essential nutrient is a great way to nourish your mental health. With a good quality supplement such as BePure Vit D Restore you want to make sure you are getting Vitamin D3, as this is the most biologically active form of Vitamin D. BePure Vit D Restore is a high strength supplement designed to boost Vitamin D levels for optimal health and energy status. Formulated as a liquid with naturally sourced coconut MCT oil for free energy, BePure Vit D Restore is an eight-week supply of the daily recommended dose of Vitamin D, containing 1000IU of D3 in every drop. Think of it as 'liquid sunshine' in a bottle.

As our brains are made up of 60% fat, it makes sense that consuming good fats – particularly anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish – are essential for optimal brain health and can support mood and anxiety. BePure Three provides you with a high-strength, concentrated source of omega-3s; DHA, and EPA to support your brain and mood.

Other important nutrients to nourish your brain and mental well-being include Vitamin B7, antioxidants, and selenium. These three, plus many more, are found in our high-strength multi-vitamin; BePure One. This product is packed with over 50 bioavailable ingredients, making it one of the most complete multivitamins available on the market for men and women.


Sleep is a vital cornerstone of health and ensuring you are getting 8-10 hours of good quality sleep a night can be hugely beneficial.

Our top product for sleep support is BePure Deep Sleep. The herbal ingredients in this product are designed to support the calming and relaxation of our bodies and minds, allowing us to fall and stay asleep with ease. This product is specifically helpful for anyone who may be experiencing anxiety and/or have trouble sleeping at night. Particularly for those who are stressed, or have a racing mind, low mood, and brain fog.

Magnesium is a wonderful nutrient to support quality sleep. We recommend incorporating 2 x capsules of BePure Magnesium Restore into your bedtime routine. You can click here for more ideas around how to support yourself in falling asleep and staying asleep to ensure you are feeling well-rested and energized when you wake up.

Like all processes in our body, sleep quality also relies on micronutrients as the key building blocks to help our brain and nervous system from the cellular level up. BePure One is therefore highly recommended for sleep support, as it provides over 50 different ingredients to help support hormone and neurotransmitter function which is essential for quality sleep.

BePure Three is also highly recommended for sleep as our brain is made up mainly of fatty acids. Therefore, omega-3 fatty acids in BePure Three help to support a lot of our brain tissue and function, which is supportive of good sleep.


With immunity on the mind more than ever these days, what can we do to support our strong natural immunity year around? Micronutrients are a key way to support your immune system in functioning optimally and helping fight colds, viruses, and sickness. Supporting your immunity is important for reducing sickness and sickness duration.

BePure One is a high-strength, high-quality daily multivitamin packed with over 50 bioavailable ingredients, making it one of the most complete multivitamins available. It contains many immune-supporting nutrients including Vitamin C and Zinc. This is fantastic daily support to ensure that your immune system has everything it needs to function well.

BePure Super Boost C is another essential product for immune support. With a powerful formulation of 2:1 ratio of bioflavonoids to Vitamin C, BePure Super Boost C provides your body with a top-quality, high strength dose of Vitamin C. Bioflavonoids recycle the vitamin C electron, so once in your body, it essentially provides you with double the Vitamin C, making BePure Super Boost C incredibly high strength. BePure Super Boost C is created in an easily absorbed, delicious powder form, keeping you energised and your immune system healthy and strong.

Our immune system is also heavily dependent on Zinc which means if you are constantly feeling run down, you may need to top up your Zinc levels. You can check this with a Zinc Taste Test, and use BePure Zinc Restore to support your zinc levels. Our Zinc status can be lowered after periods of being sick, stressed, or lots of physical activity so we recommend checking your zinc status regularly with a zinc taste test to stay on top of this important immune-boosting nutrient.

Omega-3 fatty acids also support your immune system by helping to fight inflammation and support your immune molecules. Our BePure Three fish oil is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids as well as fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K helping to support inflammation and immune function.

BePure Vit D Restore is an excellent source of Vitamin D which is another nutrient that supports optimal immune function. It uses Vitamin D3 which is a highly bioavailable form to make sure you are absorbing as much as possible from every drop.


Supporting balanced hormones can be confusing but it is so helpful to have an understanding about how the major sex hormones like oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone can affect your cycle and other hormone related concerns.

EstroClear has been designed to support balanced levels of the key sex hormone oestrogen. Imbalances can be associated with:

- Menstrual cramping
- Heavy periods
- Water retention
- Premenstrual headaches
- Breast discomfort

CycleCalm is designed to support women who may have low progesterone levels and this can look like:

- Heavy, irregular periods and clots
- PMS – painful cramps, irritability, sore breasts, water retention, food cravings
- Fertility
- Mood, memory and cognition
- Perimenopause


Nutrition, diet and lifestyle play an important role when it comes to healthy conception. Ensuring your body has all the nutrients it needs is a great way to start.

Our Nutritionists recommend taking a high quality, specially designed multivitamin to help lift and maintain vital micro-nutrient levels. Mum's One has been designed with healthy conception and fertility top of mind with key nutrients such as Iodine, Iron, Folate and Choline. The Ministry of Health recommends 800ug of folate during pregnancy, we recommend taking Mum's One with additional folate. Mum’s One contains a total of 300µg of Folate, and Folate Restore contains 500µg of Folate. To check Folate Restore is right for you alongside Mum's One, please make sure you check with your health professional first.

Our Pregnancy & Motherhood Pack comes with Mum's One, Fish Oil and Probiotics. This combination gives your body the opportunity to get in tip top shape, and give your little one the best start in life. We recommend taking this combination for at least 3 months prior to trying to conceive.


For our pregnant and breastfeeding Mumma's, we recommended to take BePure Mum's One, BePure Two Probiotic, and BePure Three. These 3 products are available in our Pregnancy and Motherhood Pack.

We would recommend starting these products ideally three months prior to conception and continuing to take them post-natally to support nutrient depletion that can occur following pregnancy and birth.

BePure Mum's One is designed to be taken prior to, and during pregnancy to provide you with all of the specific nutrients you need during pregnancy, including folic acid, iodine, iron, and choline among others.

A quality probiotic, like BePure Two Probiotic, is also essential as it's important to have beneficial bacteria present at birth. This is the baby's first dose of probiotics and sets the immune system up for childhood.

BePure Three Fish Oil is recommended as an essential nutrient during pregnancy and breastfeeding as the DHA present in fish oil is super important for the development of babies' brains and nervous systems.

The Ministry of Health recommends 800ug of folate during pregnancy. Mum’s One contains a total of 300µg of Folate. To check whether BePure Folate Restore (which contains 500µg of Folate) is right for you alongside Mum's One, please check with your health professional first.

BePure EstroClear, BePure Digest Assist, BePure CycleCalm, BePure InnerCalm, BePure InnerStrength, BePure MenoCalm, BePure Immune Action, Perfect Protein, Good Gut Protein, B Vit Energy Restore and BePure Deep Sleep are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

BePure Super Boost C, BePure Zinc Restore, BePure Magnesium Restore, BePure CoQ10, BePure Vit D Restore, Iron Restore, Kid's Probiotic and Folate Restore are all safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding.


To support the transition through Perimenopause, our Nutritionists recommend CycleCalm. This powerful blend of nutrients and herbs helps the body adjust to the changes in hormone levels that occurs during this time. CycleCalm contains nutrients like Zinc and Vitamin B6 to help stimulate balanced levels of oestrogen and progesterone, as well as soothing herbs designed to support stress which is key for balanced hormone.

Common experiences during perimenopause that CycleCalm can support include:
- Irregular cycles
- PMS
- Changes in mood
- Heavy or painful periods

During peri-menopause, adrenal support is also super important as your ovaries are slowly reducing their production of hormones, making your adrenal glands the key hormone-producing centers. Therefore, to support your adrenal glands, it's important your body gets all the essential nutrients it needs. We recommend BePure Zinc Restore and Super Boost C for additional adrenal support.


For many women, menopause is not as harmonious as it could be, which is why we have designed BePure MenoCalm.

BePure MenoCalm is formulated with nutrients and herbs such as Sage Leaf and Black Cohosh to ease the unwanted experiences commonly associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and disrupted sleep.

This product is most effective when taken alongside BePure One and Three, to ensure that your body is receiving all of the micronutrients that it needs to function well.

Micronutrients are vital for healthy hormone production and metabolism, and also help our body remain sensitive to hormones to listen to them as well as possible. This helps your body make the most of the hormones that you are still producing.


Unfortunately, when it comes to weight loss we don't have a silver bullet or magic pill to help. Through the BePure Clinic, we see that weight management is best achieved through a holistic approach that takes into account not only food, but also lifestyle factors such as exercise and stress levels, as well as processes in the body such as gut health, hormone health, and blood sugar balance.

While no one product is specifically designed to guarantee weight loss, every major metabolic pathway in our body depends on micronutrients. The key to good nutrition, health, and energy is, therefore, ensuring you have enough of these micronutrients. If you’re struggling to lose weight despite making positive changes to your diet and lifestyle, it is critical to assess your nutrient status and boost your levels of certain key nutrients. We recommend everyone take the BePure Everyday Health Pack. This is the baseline nutritional support that everyone needs on top of a healthy diet to support overall health for optimum function.

Usage

We recommend following the recommended doses on the label of all BePure products. We would need to be seeing a client one-on-one through our Clinic Programme before we can provide any alternate recommendations that are greater than the recommended daily dosage. Therapeutic doses can only be recommended by a practitioner whilst a client is under our care.


We do not recommend taking our products after the best before date printed on your bottle or packet. All of our products have a long shelf-life and are sent out with plenty of time to consume. After the best before date, we cannot guarantee the efficacy or quality of the product.


Our products are only recommended for those aged 12+. Depending on the age and size of the child we may recommend a reduced dose. Additionally, our herbal products are only recommended for those aged 18+ due to limited research on the effects of herbal products on children. Please contact us at info@bepure.co.nz for more information about this.


In regards to our BePure products being suitable, this will largely depend on what products you are interested in and what medications you are on.

If you currently take warfarin, aspirin, or other blood-thinning medications and are interested in taking BePure One and Three, then we would advise close monitoring of your blood coagulation or INR through your GP. INR stands for International Normalised Ratio and is a measurement of how long it takes your blood to form a clot and determines the effect that any anticoagulants have on your clotting system.

There are specific contraindications for some BePure products so if you are on any medications it is important to check in with the Wellness Coordinator team at info@bepure.co.nz or 0800 52 54 52 so that we can check the specific contraindications for you. Depending on the medication, It may also be beneficial to check in with a medical practitioner for assurance to make sure the product you are taking does not cause any hazards or interferences.


When starting a new supplement, you may experience some initial adverse reactions or feel a little unwell. This is commonly known as a detox reaction or healing crisis, a necessary evil where you feel worse before you feel better.

BePure One, BePure Two, BePure Deep Sleep, and BePure EstroClear are the most common products to cause a detox-type reaction. If you are feeling unwell, sick, or have noticed an adverse reaction after taking a different BePure product to those listed above, please stop taking the product and contact our Wellness Coordinator team on 0800 52 54 52 or email info@bepure.co.nz.

Each and every one of us is unique on a biological level which means that our bodies all respond differently, and that includes nutritional support products or supplements. If you have just tried a new product of ours and have noticed an adverse response or feel sick, it may be that you are experiencing what is commonly known as a detox reaction or a short-term 'healing crisis' while the body works to remove excess toxins from your body. This can result in symptoms such as headaches, nausea, tiredness, and skin breakouts. It is fine to keep taking the supplement, but make sure you always take them with food and you are drinking plenty of water to give your body the best chance of eliminating the toxins.

We also recommend reducing your dose until you feel better. Any unpleasant responses should pass within one to three days, and if symptoms persist please contact us for support.

I think it might be more serious than a detox reaction:

It is also possible that an ingredient in one of our products may not agree with you, similar to common food allergies. A simple way to test this would be to break open a capsule and rub a small amount on the inside of your wrist to check for any instant allergic-type responses. If you do get a response by the skin patch test then please contact our Wellness Coordinator team on 0800 52 54 52 or info@bepure.co.nz.
