The Low Down on Bioactive Ingredients

The Low Down on Bioactive Ingredients

Posted by Bio-First Team on

A bioactive substance is one that has a biological effect on a living organism.

For example, caffeine is bioactive because it stimulates a response in humans.


Bioactives can be good or bad for our health, depending on their nature, quantity and standard. They are present in small amounts throughout the food chain, in plants, the ocean, other organisms and micro-organisms. Some bioactives can also be produced synthetically.


At Bio-First, when developing new products, we focus on identifying beneficial bioactives from a range of sources that can be used in optimal amounts for supportive enhancement of skin health.


These bioactive ingredients come from flowers, seeds, plants, nuts, bees, foods, fermentation, natural resins, the ocean, organisms, gathered from many places on our planet.


We have a special interest in combining multiple natural bioactives synergistically for maximum positive effect in appropriate amounts. Like nature itself, it's all about balance and affinity, choosing the right bioactive in correct quantities and combinations for particular benefits.


Bio-First's bioactive ingredients are highly fit for purpose - they provide you with significantly more value than lifeless fillers and synthetic substitutes, making the investment completely worth it!
