No, and it is worth correcting this, because some shops describe the brand as entirely vegan. Most of the range is plant-based and suitable for vegans, including the spirulina, chlorophyll, cacao and greens blends. But the marine collagen comes from wild fish skin, there is a bovine collagen peptide product, and the range includes beef liver and beef kidney capsules. Check each label. The vegicaps themselves are plant-based, which is why the fish collagen still sits in a vegetarian capsule.

From the skin of wild-caught fish landed off the coast of France by a certified sustainable fishery, with cod, Alaska pollock, saithe, haddock and plaice as the main species. It is type 1 collagen, hydrolysed, meaning the protein is broken into smaller peptides so the body absorbs it more easily. Fish skin is a practical source because it is naturally rich in type 1 collagen. Note the allergen: it is a fish product, and it is produced on premises that also handle crustaceans and molluscs.

It depends on the serving size you need and how sensitive you are to taste. Powders let you take grams at a time, capsules hide the flavour, liquids let you fine-tune, sprays skip swallowing altogether.

The usual adult serving is one tablespoon, 15 ml, stirred into water or juice, up to three servings a day. Shake the bottle first, because the alfalfa extract settles. Once opened, keep it in the fridge with the cap closed tightly, since there are no preservatives to protect it. The taste is grassy rather than sweet, which is what pure alfalfa extract tastes like. It will colour your drink deep green and can tint your mouth briefly.

Useful context when you compare labels, since several products in the range deliver vitamins and minerals with official reference amounts. These are UK reference intakes for adults aged 19 to 64, not personal advice.

Iodine deserves care: taking high doses for long periods can change how the thyroid gland works, so do not stack several iodine sources.

Plan on two to three weeks of consistent daily use before you form an opinion, and longer for anything aimed at skin, hair or nails, because nails grow only a few millimetres a month. Minerals with an approved function, such as magnesium contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, tend to be noticed sooner than beauty-oriented products. Reviewers who stop after a week rarely have enough time to judge. Take it at a fixed moment in the day so you do not skip days.

Yes. KIKI Health has each batch of ingredients and finished products checked by a third-party laboratory for heavy metals, micro-organisms and pesticides, against UK and EU limits and organic farming standards. The organic spirulina is grown in monitored ponds away from industry and agriculture, and the brand reports PAH levels well below EU regulatory limits. On our side, every product passes our compliance team before it goes live, we test products ourselves, and independent labs spot-check batches, which matters most for algae and clay-type ingredients.

Usually yes, since most are single ingredients, so you can see exactly what you are stacking. Two things to watch. First, do not double up on the same mineral: an ionic concentrate plus a spray plus a multivitamin can quietly push you past what you intended, which is worth checking with magnesium supplements and with iodine in particular. Second, if you take anticoagulant medication, speak to your GP before using anything with vitamin K, including the D3 and K2 oral spray.
