Functionalab's fresh take on the often quacky nutritional supplement market involves slick, science lab-style packaging; doses and drops created with quality ingredients; and a bespoke programme offering one-to-one consultations with wellness experts. The company's colourful range of supplements includes concoctions such as Nutrient Tonics, a selection of test tube-packaged liquid health shots available in an array of rainbow colours. From the antioxidant ‘Prophyto' to the anti-aging 'Beauty', the tonics offer a pick-me-up for the design-conscious constitution. The range of 'Health Drops', meanwhile – promising a wellbeing boost in a very portable pipette bottle – had us rushing to the apothecary cabinet.
