LIVING NUTRITION

Brand's website: LIVING NUTRITION

Living Nutrition is a British company founded in 2014 by nutritional therapist Graham Botfield. The basis of all their products is a specially developed kefir-combucha fermentation process that they apply to organic herbs and foods to create "living" dietary supplements. Everything is handcrafted in their custom-built laboratory and they personally oversee their plant products to ensure they develop to their optimum vitality.

The mission of Living Nutrition

History of Living Nutrition

2014

LN's beginnings were very humble. Back then, everything was run from a single room in Graham's house in Sussex with some help from daughter Ella. The product line was initially launched with only one product, Your Flora, and the Signature herbal line.

2016

With the growing popularity and enthusiastic feedback reaching all over Europe, Graham began to develop and add more products. To manage the logistics, Living Nutrition moved under Living Planet Distribution so Graham could focus more on formulations and research.

2019

This has been a pivotal year for Living Nutrition. Their popularity has grown significantly due to customer feedback and interest in our fermentation. LN has won several awards, including the Natural and Organic award for best new herbal product for their fermented ashwagandha. They decided to take the big step and take fermentation into their own hands.

This has allowed them to introduce some innovations, including the use of the Flask system to "restructure" the input water and some new methods to increase the efficiency and diversity of the microbes in their fermentation process. In collaboration with research institutions, they have now been able to study the effects of our fermentation for different conditions.

2021

In April, LN introduced a second generation of products with new eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging and an even more effective line of fermented products.

Founder of Living Nutrition

Founder Graham Botfield is a nutritional therapist and researcher who specialises in the digestive microbiome and the traditional use of herbs. He has worked with respected dietary supplement brands including New Chapter, whose founder and master botanist Paul Schulick was a major influence on Graham's approach to developing nature-inspired supplements. Together with an expert microbiologist, Graham is constantly developing new fermented products and researching their benefits.

"If we change our approach to medicine from fighting disease to creating health, we will move from mega-dosing inert nutrients to the more subtle healing elements found in nature. Then we will value plants for their natural intelligence that feeds information to our many cellular senses to promote healing. Fermentation is nature's alchemy that evolves plants to a higher level of vitality and nutrition, creating compounds that communicate balance and harmony to our bodies on all levels."

Living Nutrition's unique fermentation process

Step #1

At the beginning of this process is the careful selection of the freshest organic ingredients (biodynamic if possible). The water used is also double filtered and restructured using a specialised Flaska system.

Step #2

A highly concentrated and active inoculum is created by a hybrid of organic kefir grains and organic kombucha.

Step #3

An inoculum is added to the organic herbs and foods, the whole mixture is then fermented in small 10 litre batches under optimal conditions.

Step #4

After many weeks of care, including daily stirring and testing, fermentation is finally complete.

Step #5

The ferments are then carefully freeze-dried to remove all water and preserve all the delicate nutrients, enzymes and microbes.

Step #6

The finished product is finally sealed in an organic vegetable capsule wrapped in an amber glass bottle and 100% plastic-free packaging.
