Radiance brings the shine to dietary supplements

They say that wellness comes from within and Radiance couldn’t

“We’re passionate about providing Kiwis with the best natural health formulations, that are better for the environment,” says Head of Marketing Kylie McNulty.

“Radiance embraced sustainability over four years ago by transitioning to beautiful gold aluminium tins. Since then, we’ve proudly prevented the production of over 1.9 million plastic containers from entering the market. Aluminium shines as a great choice due to its endless recyclability, with approximately 70% still being recycled today. Our Radiance tins aren’t just eco-friendly; they’re also versatile. Crafted with labels designed for easy removal, they transform into storage solutions, or herb planters.

“Radiance helps you shine from within with our skin products: Radiance Collagen Gummies and Radiance Hair, Skin & Nail Gummies. We are excited to launch a new addition to the skin range - Collagen + Hyaluronic Acid capsules, which bring the dual benefit into an easy to consume capsule. Collagen helps to firm and smooth the skin, while Hyaluronic Acid provides hydration to the skin.

“Radiance help you rise and shine from a calm and natural sleep with our Dream Sleep gummies – L-theanine, Magnesium & Tart Cherry, which can help you to fall asleep, stay asleep and wake refreshed.

“We also want to help kids shine with our no added sugar Radiance Kids gummie range, including Calm & Focus, with L-theanine and magnesium for settled behaviour and restful sleep. We also offer Radiance Kids Multi Gummie for essential everyday nutrients; and Radiance Kids Vitamin C & Zinc for essential immune support,” says Kylie McNulty.
