What is Kynd? Everything you need to know about the new supplement brand at Coles.

Each winter, I dread the idea of falling sick. Trying to raise two boys, run a business and stay on top of a never-ending to-do list is the worst if you're coughing, sneezing or just feeling "meh".

So, I'm all for finding ways to help with my energy and get on top of the chillier months.

If you're like me, you might be spending a lot of time in the health food aisles right now. You might've seen a new product in the vitamin and supplement section at Coles called Kynd. Another supplement brand? Hang on, wait.

This brand has a "pay it forward" element to it. It's set up so when you buy, they will donate to an Australian in need, and it is kind to the planet, too.

Here's what you need to know about Kynd that sets it apart:

1. Kynd has ingredients based on science, and only science.

From their time volunteering in Tanzania, Kynd founder Matt Stenmark and his wife Jade saw the firsthand effects of poor nutrition and a planet struggling with environmental waste. Matt, who had worked in the health industry for almost 10 years, decided to develop a product range using ingredients based on scientific evidence that have been shown to support health and wellbeing. To enable Kynd to reach as many people as possible, Kynd is distributed by iNova Pharmaceuticals, which is known for trusted household brands like Demazin and Duro-Tuss.

2. Buying one product helps someone in need.

For every Kynd product you buy, a Kynd Immunity product will be donated to a person in need. You can feel good inside and out knowing you’re passing the kindness on while receiving a bit of self care too.

To top off those good feels, you can “Track your Kyndness” with the online tracker and find out where your donation will be going.

3. The packaging is sustainable. 

Your general vitamin or supplement usually comes in a plastic bottle with a plastic lid, right? But the majority of all plastic waste isn’t recycled, so having a more environmental solution is necessary so we can take better care of our planet.

The Kynd brand is all about sustainability and is taking a stand against plastic waste with a glass bottle, along with a cute cap made from bamboo. The glass bottles keep the supplements protected from moisture, and the best news is that the glass can be recycled over and over again.

The Kynd Fish Oil is sustainably sourced and is rigorously tested for any nasties, like heavy metals, that could be lurking. 

Look for the distinctive bamboo cap on the Kynd range in your local Coles.

As we age, the natural collagen in our skin starts to deplete. This becomes much more noticeable in our 30s as our once luscious skin becomes thinner and drier.

Collagen+ helps support your skin's elasticity and firmness with the benefit of a dual combination of bovine and marine collagen peptides, along with the skin health benefits of zinc.

For healthy hair, skin and nails, these sachets help increase your collagen levels and help protect your skin from cellular damage with marine collagen peptides and a range of other goodies, such as Vitamin C, Silica, Zinc, Biotin and the prebiotic Inulin.

The powder is mixed into a glass of water to drink, and has a very mild and pleasant berry flavour. They come in a pack of 10 and the convenience of the sachets is that you can stash them in your bag on your way to work or when you’re on the go so you never forget to take it! Too easy.
