This year has seen a huge rise in the wellness trend. Consumers are no longer solely concerned with how their body appears on the outside, and focus has shifted towards taking active steps to ensure optimum health and nutrition is also achieved from within. We’ve seen super-foods replace refined sugars in our supermarkets, sportswear infusing itself into our day-to-day style in the form of athleisure, and now organic health brand KIKI Health is paving the way in providing dietary and beauty supplements of the highest purity to cleanse, detoxify, heal and nourish the body from the inside out. We sat down with Gina from KIKI Health HQ to really get to the bottom of all the hype and find out why natural supplements really are best...
Is KIKI Health suitable for everyone?
Yes, it is. All KIKI products (apart from Krill Oil) are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Children can also use the green fruit, vegetable, cacao and carobpowders as they are just pure plant derived ingredients in powder form.
What are KIKI Health products made from and why does this make them superior?
KIKI Health is a range of wholefood supplement decadence. KIKI believes in sourcing only the purest of ingredients with the highest potency available. All ingredients are meticulously chosen and ethically processed to preserve and maximise the beneficial and powerful elements, ensuring unsurpassed bioavailability. We do not compromise our products by adding inexpensive fillers, preservatives, colouring or sweeteners.
Do you believe that natural is the way forward for all our beauty and supplement needs?
Yes, we do! Clean supplements mean above all else natural inner beauty. Isolated vitamins cannot be used or recognised and absorbed by the body in the same way as the natural version. Certain studies on natural vs. synthetic vitamins have shown that synthetic vitamins are 50 – 70% less biologically active than natural vitamins. Consuming synthetic vitamins and minerals that are often loaded with other stabilising chemicals may lead to unwanted side effects and other health issues, which defeats the object of taking health supplements.
How do I use the KIKI Health supplements?
Most supplements are in powder form. We recommend mixing with homemade juices or creating smoothies with your favourite fruit or vegetables. The fruit, cacao and carobpowders are also great to add to homemade desserts. The capsules and tablets can easily be swallowed with water.

Your protein powders are Vegan – is animal welfare an important issue for KIKI Health?
Absolutely! We believe 100% in plant based protein powders. Vegan protein powders, such as hemp seedand pea protein are naturally rich in protein, fibre, Omega 3 and amino acids, they offer the complete protein package. As they contain no whey, soya or lactose they are highly soluble, easy to digest, have no bloating effects and are more friendly for your gut.
Plant‐based protein powders support the body’s muscular system and promote an alkaline environment, while animal‐based foods promote inflammation and lead to an acidic body.
Explain the benefits of using organic ingredients as opposed to non‐organic ingredients?
Our products are all certified organic or are wild‐crafted. This means that the ingredients are guaranteed not to contain toxic or synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs or chemical fertilisers in production or during farming, and require healthy management of healthy soil and biodiversity.
Organically grown foods retain more nutrients – vitamins, minerals and micronutrients than non‐organic because the soil is managed and nourished with sustainable practices using responsible standards. Supporting organically grown foods is not only beneficial to the individuals health, but is also beneficial to the planet’s health as it keeps farmland healthy and does not compromise the ecosystem, reduces pollution and protects water and soil.
How do I know which KIKI Health supplements are right for me?
Our products have a comprehensive range of benefits, encompassing beauty to heart health. We have identified which vitamins and minerals they contain that can also assist in deciding which is best for you. We also recommend Google to find out more about each ingredient and all the health benefits!
What KIKI Health products would you recommend for weak hair and brittle nails?
We would recommend Alkaline Infusion as it contains bamboo powder, which naturally contains a high level of naturally occurring silica. Silica helps promote hair and nail health and growth, and also adds elasticity to the skin by building collagen that encompasses the connective tissues, including hair follicles, and helps tighten skin and prevent ageing.
MSM Powder is a natural form of sulphur, which is an essential component in the formation of collagen, elastin, cartilage and keratin. It is vital to the creation and regeneration of the body tissues and cell function. So supplementing with MSM Powder strengthens and improves the health of hair, skin and nails.
Can KIKI Health supplements support high impact sport training as well as non‐natural supplements?
Yes, we offer a range of supplements that can support training. The Hemp and Pea Proteinare a perfect addition to your fitness regime and can help your muscles recover after a workout, develop lean muscle as well as support tendon, ligaments and other body tissue.
Our Organic Hemp Proteincontains naturally occurring plant‐based protein, essential fatty acids – Omega 3 and 6, amino acids and dietary fibre.
Our OrganicPea Protein Powder contains 80% plant‐based protein alone with a significant amount of essential minerals that help keep your body strong.
These alternative protein powders are perfect for anyone wishing to avoid animal, dairy or whey products, as well as genetically modified materials or other added fillers and synthetics. They also offer highly absorbable protein as well as an array of other natural nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
Our Organic Maca Powder may be used for strength and endurance. Maca root has amazing benefits, which are pretty much endless! Specifically known as a warrior food, the natives of the Andes used to prescribe to warriors in preparation for battles to increase strength and endurance. KIKI Health’s Organic Maca Powder is a blend of all 4 different colours of the maca roots, encompassing all the benefits of the maca powerhouse and offering a unique nutritional profile.
Magnesium Oil Spray is also an effective supplement for muscles. It is a high concentration of magnesium that can be sprayed directly to the area of concern and is highly absorbable through the skin and blood vessels. It supports natural muscle recovery, relieves cramping and stiffness.
Are KIKI Health products suitable for kids?
Absolutely! As our supplements are pure wholefoods, the majority of our products are suitable for children and are an excellent way to naturally increase their vitamin and mineral intake; which can greatly benefit their health and support their immune system. The fruit powders can easily be mixed into their cereals or added to homemade treats. Thecarob and cacaopowders make excellent substitutes for chocolate and sweeteners.
We also offer probiotics that are specifically formulated for children for ages 4 – 11. KIKI Health Body Biotics for Children come in berry flavoured chewable tablets and contain ‘live’ and ‘thriving’ soil based organisms (SBO’s) that help restore friendly bacteria ‐ ensuring a healthy gut, and thus supporting a healthy bowel, digestive and immune system.
How can I use the KIKI Health range to improve my digestion?
We have many products that assist, improve and maintain digestive health. Our top, most effective products are Body Biotics capsules, Body Biotics for Children Tablets, Organic Aloe Ferox Juice, Organic Nature’s Living Superfood Powder, Aloe Pure Capsules. They are also each a form of probiotics and digestive enzymes that adds good bacteria to the gut. All of which can help cleanse, detox and maintain a healthy gut by dislodging accumulated decay and toxic waste from the intestine walls and flush the waste out normally.
What are KIKI Health’s top tips for reducing stress?
