New range of pill-free supplements if you are thinking about having a baby

BetterYou, innovators in nutritional oral sprays, joins forces with Madeline Shaw to develop a new range of pill-free supplements with mums in mind

Award-winning natural health brand BetterYou, has teamed up with nutritional therapist, best-selling cookery writer, chef and mother, Madeline Shaw, to develop a range of nutritional oral sprays to support every stage of motherhood; from conception to pregnancy, children’s health, to getting your glow back, all pill-free.

Traditional tablets and capsules don’t suit everyone, some of us can find them difficult to swallow. Harnessing BetterYou’s unique oral spray delivery mechanism, the Madeleine Shaw range provides nutrients in micro-sized droplets, directly into the soft tissue of the mouth, which research shows is the most effective area of absorption. The spray delivers an active ingredient directly into the bloodstream, absorbing quickly and providing fast nutrient uptake – the next generation of vitamin supplementation.

Developed alongside the Pharmacy and Pharmacology Research Team at Cardiff University, BetterYou specialises in the supplementation of nutrients we tend to lack due to modern diets and lifestyles. Every product is formulated for maximum nutrient delivery and uptake in the body, understanding that traditional tablets and capsules rely upon a digestive process that has evolved exclusively for food intake, and absorption cannot be guaranteed for everyone. The dramatic increase in digestive malabsorption issues such as IBS, Crohn’s and coeliac disease has also meant that effective alternative delivery mechanism has become essential.

Housed in packaging derived from ethanol collected from sugarcane plants, the Madeleine Shaw range is contained in bottles made from a combination of carbon negative, plant-based plastic verified by the Carbon Trust, and post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR). In line with BetterYou and Madeleine’s green values, the entire range is vegetarian-friendly, palm oil and palm oil derivative free and is contained in fully recyclable packaging, that once clean and dry can be put into your household plastic recycling.
