Designed for every stage of life, from teens and fertility to menopause and grandparenting. Support your immune system, hormones, bones, brain, heart, and skin. Our problems are probably yours, too. Chances are, we've got something that will help.
Our range
We make hard-working omega-3 fish oils, algae oils, magnesium capsules, vitamin D sprays and collagen powder supplements for bodies that need a little extra support.
Your body is incredible, but the mineral quality of our food and access to natural sunlight? Not so much. That's why we make vitamins and minerals to supplement what our diets or lifestyles lack.
Our vitamin D sprays are the most powerful in the UK for good reason: we need sunlight to produce vitamin D, and Britain is a shady place. Our high-strength vitamin D spray and omega-3 with vitamin D capsules act like sunshine, supporting immunity, cell growth, bone health, and fertility.
Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral, but it’s hard to get enough from food. Stress, exercise, and sweating all deplete magnesium levels. Ready & Rested provides your daily dose (375mg) in three easy-to-absorb capsules using magnesium bisglycinate. A form that is proven to reach your nervous system and the brain to support psychological processes, helping you recover, switch off, and get ready for whatever comes next.
Omega-3 is a family of essential fats that support heart, brain, and joint health. We can't produce omega-3 ourselves, so we need to get it from food. There are three forms: EPA and DHA from fish and algae, and ALA from plants. While ALA is a type of omega-3, the body must convert it into EPA and DHA to use it, and it's not very efficient at doing so.
If eating a tin of sardines every day isn’t an option for you, we make potent, clinical-grade fish oil, powerful daily capsules, algae-based vegan omega-3 and formulations with higher ratios of DHA—perfect for kids, pregnancy, and anyone specifically looking to support brain health. You may have guessed that omega-3 is our thing. You’d be right.
Collagen is a protein our bodies produce—but naturally, we make less of it as we age (bummer). Collagen peptides are the amino acids the body uses to rebuild collagen, and they come in different types. Type I is the most abundant, found in skin, nails, hair, and joints. Our marine collagen is mainly made from Type I peptides, with an amino acid profile that closely matches human collagen—hence, we called it Skinful.
We can promise that our collagen is formulated for absorption using quality, sustainable ingredients. Skinful was the first to be MSC-certified, and our customers' reviews are pretty conclusive: lots of people found that they had stronger hair and nails and better-supported bones, joints, and muscles. In a market where all is not as it seems, there's our solid take on marine collagen: it's really rather good for your skin.
Life & Soul is the strongest, purest omega-3 you'll find. Two small, easy-to-swallow capsules provide 1,460mg of omega-3, 860mg EPA and 440mg DHA (the same as a tin of sardines). Omega-3 is foundational for all-round health because it supports the heart, brain, and joints. Our bodies can't produce essential fatty acids, so supplementing with fish oil is the best way to meet your needs. We've learned from our research and our customers' experiences that a powerful dose of omega-3 can be life-changing for women with hormonal acne, new mums, growing brains, and men with high cholesterol.
Ready & Rested is a magnesium supplement in a multitasking form called bisglycinate. Magnesium glycinate supports your nervous system and energy production, helping you to switch off and get some rest. Many of us are low in magnesium without realising it, as stress and busy lifestyles deplete our levels, and it takes real effort to get enough from your diet. Ready & Rested is designed to do just that. One daily dose (375mg) in three capsules, and you're set.
Skinful is a high-quality, flavourless marine collagen and the first to be MSC certified. Made for women who've done their homework. Our hydrolysed collagen peptides are tiny (under 3,000 Daltons), so your body absorbs them more efficiently, helping you feel the benefits faster. As always, no nasties and a fair price in a market that's often bonkers.
Beam & Balance is the UK's most powerful vitamin D3 and K2 spray. With just 3 small sprays, you get 4,000 IU (100 micrograms) of vitamin D3, perfectly balanced with 100 micrograms of K2. Our bodies produce vitamin D from sunlight, which we need for cell growth, bone health, immune support, and for fertility. K2 supports your immune system, bones, teeth, and muscles. We've formulated this combo for those living in places with less sunlight, as many of us are deficient (looking at you, UK). Available flavoured with natural peppermint oil or completely unflavoured. It's a 2-for-1 for your immunity.
We're a family-owned, female-founded supplement brand based in Brighton, UK. If you're a notorious label-checker and a proud sceptic, we see you. At Bare Biology, we make the best omega-3, magnesium, collagen, and vitamin D with sustainably sourced ingredients. We promise no surprises, just complete transparency. Now you know exactly what you're taking.
At every stage of our lives, the body needs omega-3; it supports brain health, our eyes, hearts, hormones, and blood pressure levels, and keeps our skin healthy. Mums growing babies especially need a good supply of omega-3 to help develop their brains and eyes. It's hard, though, to get enough omega-3 as we can only get it from food, and that food is oily fish. For many, eating an abundance of fish is difficult, which is why we make powerful fish oil supplements.
As you'd expect, our fish oils and collagen are not for everybody. We've worked hard to develop an equally powerful vegan omega-3 made from algae that is suitable for those who'd prefer not to consume fish: Vim & Vigour delivers all the benefits of an EPA and DHA combination omega-3, plus support from the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin.
Naturally, our high-strength vitamin D + K2 spray, Beam & Balance, and multitasking magnesium Ready & Rested are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
We're a British business based in Brighton, a seaside town just South of London. Our supply chain spans Norway and the UK where possible.
Transparency is a huge priority at Bare Biology. All our omega-3 supplements are IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) 5-Star Certified for purity, and we also carry out our own testing for oxidation and purity. We openly share our certificates on every product page, meaning we can guarantee the oil is pure, fresh, and safe. You can find out more about our testing and IFOS for yourself.
Our guarantee comes from consistent, thorough testing. We are transparent about our ingredients, our supply chain, and how we test our supplements. You can find test results on every product's shop page, and you can also find our omega-3 results published on the IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) website. We always welcome questions from the extra-cautious. Please get in touch at info@barebiology.com.
