Internals Overview
Our formulas never change, even as nature does. In over 20 years of creating products in synergy with nature, our formulas have never changed. Every year, the wisdom of nature brings us a new harvest with its own unique variations; an olive or apple harvest will taste a little different each year. And because we choose to work with bioactive raw materials instead of refined materials, these natural variations in taste, color, and scent are an authentic part of our products.
Please shake before every use. Taste and color may change after opening.
What is the amount of Hydroxytyrosol in the internals?
The study from EFSA (equivalent US Regulatory Agency FDA) indicates 5.2 mg of hydroxytyrosol a day provides perfect cell protection: https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.2903/j.efsa.2017.4728
• 6.2 mg of Hydroxytyrosol in each daily dose of I70
• 6.2 mg of Hydroxytyrosol in each daily dose of I66
• The I01 contains 14x MORE hydroxytyrosol than the other two internals
Is i01 considered to be a supplement?
Think of it as a food-sourced supplement. It‘s olive leaf and Camu Camu so you‘re not getting synthetic vitamins or even vitamins isolated from their food source. I01 has 21mg of Camu Camu per serving.
About our collagen peptides:
I66 Beauty Fountain is porcine collagen sourced from Pata Negras, an Iberico breed of pigs that live amongst trees on small family-owned farms and they feed on acorns. Pata Negras is like the Wagyu beef of pig. One of the best places to source porcine (pig) collagen is the EU. This is because of the strict rules that safeguard the welfare of pigs.
• Porcine collagen is derived from swine, particularly the bones and skin
• Supports Type 1 & 3

Apple Juice Concentrate in our internals:
The apple juice concentrate is made from apples that have been macerated and pressed to extract the juice. There are zero additives, nothing else is added to the concentrate, including no added or refined sugars.
Apple juice concentrate is not used as a carrier for Camu Camu in the Internals; it is used to dissolve the olive leaf extract and make it more palatable because it is naturally bitter.
The apple juice concentrate comes from an ecological source, meaning it is chemical and pesticide-free per EU regulations.
I01 = 3.4fl oz (or 96g) total, has approximately 2fl oz (56g) apple juice concentrate
005 = 3.4fl oz (or 96g) total, has approximately 2fl oz (or 56g) apple juice concentrate
Apple Juice Concentrate nutritional value per 1fl oz (or 31g):
Sugar: 2.98g
Carbohydrate: 3.50g
Preservatives in our internals:
OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT AS A NATURAL PRESERVATIVE
Olive leaf extract is a potent source of polyphenols that have antioxidant properties and are also capable of inhibiting pathogen growth which acts as a natural preservative.
NOTE: 80% of our products do not even have natural preservatives. The internals must contain a preservative to maintain shelf stability for a minimum of 30 days.
See below for more information on Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate as preservatives in our internals.

• Sodium Benzoate (Preservative): Sodium benzoate prevents bacteria and fungi from growing in products. The mechanism starts with the absorption of benzoic acid into the cell of a microorganism. If the pH inside the cell falls to 5 or lower, the anaerobic fermentation of glucose through an enzyme called phosphofructokinase decreases sharply. This inhibits the growth and survival of pathogens that can cause products to spoil.

The concern with sodium benzoate is when it is combined with vitamin C (ascorbic acid), a chemical reaction occurs that forms benzene. Benzene has been identified as a carcinogen or cancer-causing ingredient. However, benzene does not form at all if you use products with a very high concentration of vitamin C and a low concentration of sodium benzoate. This is because higher amounts of vitamin C cause it to act as a free radical inhibitor instead of reacting with sodium benzoate. In addition, products formulated with a pH of 3 or above are safer than those with a pH of 2 or less. And above a pH of 7, no benzene forms at all. Lastly, protecting products from light or heat exposure can limit the chances of benzene formation. Manufacturers that follow safe practices avoid benzene in their products.
We do not use ascorbic acid, our internals contain high concentrations of Camu Camu - ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a much different ingredient.

• Potassium Sorbate (Preservative): A natural compound found in a multitude of fruits and vegetables, typically a natural derivative sourced from Mountain Ash Berries, and not synthetically derived. However, it is worth mentioning that even the synthetic version is GRAS (official classification of Generally Recognized As Safe) A food grade designated by every government in the world, and has been subjected to any number of double-blind studies. Today it is considered one of the safest food preservatives and is found in almost every bit of commercially sold cheese, wine, etc. Even the organic versions.
