Why it exists

It started in a kitchen, not a boardroom.

Nicola Scruby is a qualified nutritionist and mum of three. She didn't set out to build a supplement brand. She was trying to get some nourishment into a toddler who had gone right off his food, at a time when every mealtime had turned into a battle.

"I remember asking him… if you could eat or drink anything in the world right now, what would it be? He said a milkshake. And that sparked the idea."

Nicola Scruby, nutritionist & founder

So she made him one. She started with the nutrients she already knew well from her clinic work: vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C and probiotics. Then she added gentle, pasture-raised collagen protein so it would actually fill him up, and stirred it into his milk as a "chocolate milkshake".

Nicola with her children
Nicola with her three kids, the original taste testers.

Over the next few months the kitchen blend became something more refined. Natural vitamin C from camu camu. Active B vitamins from organic quinoa sprouts. Vitamin D from organic shiitake mushrooms. And zinc, with iron deliberately left out because the two compete for absorption, so iron can be given separately if it's needed.

He drank it and loved it. She shared it with a few mums from her clinic, then their friends asked about it, then strangers started sliding into her DMs asking where to buy it. "I genuinely did not see it coming," she says.

Made by Nicola, reviewed by MitchNicola created the formula. Her partner Dr Mitch Evans, a practising GP, reviewed every ingredient before it went to market.

Today more than 30,000 Aussie families have ordered from us, and the blend is still close to what Nicola made on her kitchen bench. No fillers. No artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners. Zero added sugar.

"Every ingredient is there for a reason. If it didn't earn its place, it didn't make the blend."

My daughters love their daily "milkshake"

My daughters love their daily "milkshake". I also purchased the whizzer that froths up the milk and it works so well too! My kids love making them themselves. I don't feel bad about them having these one bit… as they have so much goodness in them. Have bought 3 times now.
