Exude contains 34 active ingredients. Every one of them serves a specific role in overnight skin repair, collagen synthesis, hormonal rebalancing or cellular antioxidant defence — formulated as a complete overnight biological support system, not a sleep supplement with skin ingredients added.
Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Powder (Fish)
Delivered overnight to align with the body's peak collagen synthesis window — the hours between 10pm and 2am when growth hormone release drives the most intensive skin repair cycle of the day. Hydrolysed for maximum bioavailability, ensuring peptides reach the dermal layer where collagen is produced.
DHA Powder
An omega-3 fatty acid that supports skin cell membrane integrity, reduces inflammatory skin responses and governs the fluidity of cellular membranes that control overnight nutrient uptake. DHA is the structural fat of brain and skin cell membranes — its presence determines how efficiently every other ingredient in Exude is absorbed and utilised during overnight repair.
Sodium Hyaluronate
The low-molecular-weight form of hyaluronic acid — clinically superior for oral supplementation. Its smaller molecular size enables intestinal absorption and systemic delivery to skin tissue, where it binds water at up to 1000 times its own weight, supporting overnight dermal hydration and plumpness that no topical hyaluronic acid can replicate from the outside.
Co Enzyme Q10
A mitochondrial energy cofactor that powers overnight cellular repair. CoQ10 declines significantly after 35, reducing the energy available for skin cell renewal during sleep. Taken in the evening, it replenishes cellular energy reserves precisely when overnight repair demands are highest — and acts as a lipid-soluble antioxidant protecting newly synthesised collagen from oxidative damage.
Quercetin
A flavonoid antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and senolytic properties — it helps clear senescent skin cells that produce inflammatory signals which accelerate skin ageing, and reduces the overnight inflammatory burden that degrades collagen. Quercetin also supports skin barrier gene expression.
Magnesium Citrate
Plays a dual role in Exude. As a sleep support: magnesium regulates GABA — the neurotransmitter that quiets the nervous system and enables deep sleep stages. As a skin support: magnesium is a cofactor in collagen hydroxylation, the modification step that stabilises collagen's triple helix structure. One mineral. Two critical overnight functions.
Chamomile Extract Powder
A natural anxiolytic and sleep quality enhancer. Chamomile's active compound apigenin binds to GABA-A receptors — reducing sleep onset time and increasing slow-wave sleep duration, the deep sleep stage where the majority of overnight skin repair occurs. More slow-wave sleep means a longer, more productive skin repair window.
Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3)
A skin cell differentiation regulator — it governs the rate at which basal skin cells mature and migrate to the surface, directly affecting skin texture, tone and renewal rate. D3 deficiency is extremely common in UK women and is associated with accelerated skin ageing and barrier dysfunction.
Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone)
Works synergistically with Vitamin D3 — directing calcium into bone and away from soft tissue, supporting skin elasticity and vascular wall health. K2 is absent from most beauty supplements and significantly underrepresented in standard multivitamins.
Vitamin E (DL-Alpha-Tocopherol Acetate)
A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes and newly synthesised collagen from overnight oxidative damage. Works synergistically with Vitamin C and CoQ10 in Exude's layered antioxidant defence system.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
An essential cofactor in collagen synthesis — without Vitamin C, the hydroxylation reactions that stabilise collagen fibres cannot proceed. Taken overnight, it supports the collagen synthesis that peaks during deep sleep and reinforces the antioxidant network alongside Vitamin E and CoQ10.
Full B-Vitamin Complex
All eight B vitamins at clinically relevant doses. Niacinamide (B3) supports DNA repair in skin cells and reduces pigmentation. Biotin (B7) is essential for keratin protein synthesis. B6 and B12 govern the methylation pathways that regulate skin cell gene expression. Folic Acid (B9) is required for cell division — the mechanism behind overnight skin renewal.
Full Mineral Complex
Copper Bisglycinate — activates lysyl oxidase, the enzyme that crosslinks collagen and elastin into structurally sound mature tissue. Without copper, collagen is synthesised but not properly assembled. Ferrous Bisglycinate — the most bioavailable iron form, supporting oxygen delivery to skin tissue during overnight repair. Manganese Bisglycinate — a cofactor in superoxide dismutase, the primary antioxidant enzyme in skin cells. Potassium Iodide — supports thyroid function and the metabolic rate governing skin cell turnover. L-Selenomethionine — the most bioavailable selenium form; a cofactor in glutathione peroxidase, neutralising lipid peroxides damaging to skin membranes. Chromium Picolinate — supports insulin sensitivity and reduces the glycation process that stiffens and ages collagen. Calcium Phosphate and Dicalcium Phosphate — structural mineral support for cell membrane integrity. Sodium Molybdate — a cofactor in sulphite oxidase, supporting detoxification pathways active during overnight cellular repair.
