WHERE ANCIENT WISDOM
meets brave innovation
We believe science is more than data, it’s a dialogue between ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science.
True wellness isn’t built on trends or empty promises. That’s why we invest in leading scientific research, partnering with expert scientists and healthcare professionals. We also tap into the lived experience of our ‘Inner Circle’ citizen science community. All to ensure our products are as effective as they are innovative.
We don’t just follow the science. We challenge it, contribute to it, and share it openly.
Our Brave Standard
Our commitment to doing things differently, with purpose, integrity, and proof.
The Brave Standard is how we hold ourselves accountable. It’s a clear benchmark for sourcing, testing, formulating and validating the effectiveness of every product we make.
SOURCING AND FORMULATING WITH INTEGRITY
We take great care in sourcing the best and most sustainable ingredients from around the world, as close to the origin as possible, and only working with suppliers aligned to our values and sustainability principles.
TESTING THAT GOES FURTHER
From raw ingredients to finished products, every product undergoes our independent Brave Standard testing to verify purity, potency and safety. With full traceability from source to shelf, so you can trust exactly what you are putting into your body.
VALIDATED BY SCIENCE
Our products are validated by credible scientific research, including independent clinical trials. But we don’t stop at the lab. Through our Inner Circle, our pioneering citizen science community, we listen to lived experience, test in real-life contexts, and refine based on what truly works.
“We're committed to scientific integrity, and this is just the beginning- we continue to invest in high-quality research to push the boundaries of nutritional science

Brave Research
At Ancient + Brave, we believe real innovation happens when rigorous research meets real life. That’s why Brave Research is built on three essential pillars:
Together, these three layers ensure our products aren’t just effective in theory — they’re meaningful in practice.
- Clinical Trials – Controlled, independent studies using validated tools and biomarkers to show how our products perform under scientific conditions.
- Consumer Studies – Real-world feedback from our community that shows how people feel, notice change, and bring our rituals into their daily lives.
- Citizen Science – Our Inner Circle of pioneering customers who help shape product development by contributing insights from lived experience.
