Klear Labs

. A new section of the lab is opening soon, centred around our core selection of 12 patented adaptogens. In partnership with some of the most pioneering companies in the world, we source exceptionally potent extracts from both well-known and lesser-known botanicals and fungals. Some known to the world for centuries, and some have only just now begun showing their full potential. From Rhodiola to Pycnogenol, each adaptogen is selected for being leading in its realm. Each extract is standardised for consistency and with peer-reviewed studies. Each company we are working with is using sustainable cultivation practices, growing the plants of origin on organic substrates or wild-harvesting under local regulations to ensure that the plants are at their maximum potency when harvested, without disturbing the local micro climate. We use these compounds to make smoothies and waters like never seen before. Each is formulated to help regulate stress response, support homeostasis, and enhance cognitive function, energy metabolism and immune resilience. Each formulation is designed to deliver targeted benefits while maintaining low glycaemic load and high nutrient bioavailability.

. Functional Highlight: Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is an adaptogenic root rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, and cycloastragenol. Known as astragalosides, these compounds have been studied for measurable effects on immune modulation and cellular protection. Its polysaccharides enhance macrophage and natural killer (NK) cell activity, supporting both innate and adaptive immunity. Astragaloside IV has been investigated for its role in telomerase activation and telomere maintenance, pathways linked to cellular longevity. Research also suggests benefits for cardiovascular health through improved endothelial function, as well as renal and metabolic support via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. We use a standardized extract to deliver clinically relevant compounds for immune resilience, vascular integrity, and long-term cellular performance. #klearlabs #adaptogenic #molecular #astragalus

. Functional Waters : WHITE > Bergamot is much more than a citrus extract - it is one of the most studied natural compounds in cardio metabolic science. Standardized bergamot polyphenols have been shown to optimize LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and blood glucose while supporting vascular function, making it a clinically explored alternative to statins for cholesterol management. Research also highlights its role in activating autophagy, protecting liver tissue in NAFLD, and modulating the mevalonate pathway - a key regulator of cholesterol synthesis and cancer stem cell metabolism. Emerging data further suggests benefits for mitochondrial efficiency, kidney protection, weight regulation, and even cognitive pathways linked to metabolic dysfunction. This is why we use a patented bergamot extract: targeted, research-backed support for cardiovascular health, metabolic balance, and cellular longevity. #functionalwaters #adaptogenscience #bergamot #bestofnature #klearlabs

Why we created this line? Klear Labs was built on a simple principle - source the best, no matter the cost. From organic and biodynamic farms, to small producers in Japan who have spent generations refining their craft, be it a teapot or crafting some of the highest grade matcha and teas, everything we’ve used has been carefully and intentionally chosen. That standard has never changed. What did change was the reason behind going further. Over time, it became clear that most of what exists in the wellness space doesn’t translate. There is a gap between what is marketed, and what the body actually responds to - especially when it comes to stress, energy, and long-term health. That realisation came from experience. From seeing how chronic stress, fatigue, and imbalance show up physically - and how little of what’s widely available creates meaningful change. That question led to years of research, testing, and rethinking everything we thought we knew- focused not on adding more, but on understanding what works at a cellular level, and why. This adaptogenic line is the result of that process. A system built from ingredients that are not only sourced with the same care Klear Labs is known for, but selected for their ability to influence stress pathways, energy systems, and neurological function in a measurable way. We created this because the alternative wasn’t there. And because cellular health and longevity aren’t abstract ideas - they’re something you can feel, and something worth nurturing. Stay tuned, where we are going to go a lot deeper. #klearlabs #adaptogenicadvantage #klearwaters #nootropics #moleculardynamics

. Adaptogens are support systems, not drugs. They work in a synergy with you, not in isolation. When an adaptogen goes to work, they can be more powerful than any equivalent drug, but without the side effects. They are regulators of signals, not suppressors. Their cause and effect can be strong, but in an over saturated market you don’t always know what you are going to get. Many of these herbs and roots are rare and grow in wild and protected areas. They are regulated by local authorities and harvested by hand to protect the plants and their habitat. Their active compounds are potent due to the often harsh climate in which they grow. This cannot be replicated by commercial production. Most adaptogenic branded powders on the market are dried and ground plant material, but they lack identity identification and bioavailability. While all adaptogens originate in knowledge gained through centuries of traditional use, to gain a patent, an adaptogen will have been through optimal extraction testing, dose specific clinical trials and been tested against other similar compounds and placebos - all to gain the optimal ratio for the most powerful synergistic effect. That’s why we have done our research. #klearlabs #nootropics #adaptogens #healthoptimisation #naturesfinest

. Not all adaptogens are functionally equivalent. At Klear Labs, formulation is grounded in quantifiable cellular impact rather than ingredient trends. Selection is based on compounds with defined bioactive profiles and demonstrated effects on key regulatory systems. These are patented, standardised extracts with controlled concentrations of active plant compounds, developed to ensure consistency, bioavailability, and reproducible biological response. Their mechanisms extend beyond general “stress support,” –the most potent of adaptogens can influence pathways such as the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, mitochondrial function, neurochemical signalling, cortisol dynamics, ATP production, oxidative stress balance, and synaptic activity. Each ingredient is positioned within a broader adaptogenic framework - contributing to the optimisation of specific pathways involved in cognitive performance, recovery kinetics, metabolic efficiency, and resilience to physiological and psychological stressors. The outcome is not a blend, but a coordinated system designed to produce measurable effects at a cellular and systemic level. #KlearLabs #adaptogenic #cellularhealth #longevity #functionalnutrition

. What are patented adaptogens? Most people don’t need another explanation of what adaptogens are - they’ve already seen it, heard it, and been sold it a hundred times. What’s missing is trust. A patented adaptogen isn’t just a trendy blend or a label. It means the formulation has been developed, tested, and registered as something unique and protected - not copied, not generic, and not interchangeable with the dozens of powders on the market. It’s the difference between: - a formula anyone can mix - and a formula that has been engineered for consistency, absorption, and real effect. At Klear Labs, this isn’t about adding another product into an already saturated space. It’s about setting a new standard - where every ingredient, ratio, and interaction is intentional, measurable, and built to perform, designing systems the body can actually use. It is precision, not hype.

Nordic Plate, spring: Wild garlic emulsion, fresh dandelion leaves (first sign of spring), rhubarb chutney made with juniper berries and blackcurrants, star anise and a sprinkle of sansho pepper, pea shoots and chervil. As always - with a choice of Perroche goats cheese from @neals_yard_creamery or cheddar from @westcombe #klearlabs #modernfood #glutenfree #lowcarb #organic

In March already but just had too many pretty flowers to leave them behind without a little acknowledgement. Last of 2025- already a lot been happening this year. So much more to come 🙏🏻 thank you for helping us make this work #klearlabs #golborneroad #nottinghill #glutenfree #houseofmodernfood

Grateful that the rain has left us ☀️ Nearly full circle of the sun (and the sum), of what made our 2025. As we wait for the spruce tips and marigolds to return, we’re rounding of the highlights of last year, before we get way too excited about spring 💛🌱 A few highlights ~ black currant leaves, white currants, hawthorn branches (what to do with these 🤔), candied mashua root, cleaver tonics, tangerine daikon, coral kale, candied pine and calendulas…to name a few! #klearlabs #regen #playingwithfood #organiclondon

Never bored…bites from 2025 while we’re finalising all the new additions we’re cooking, straining, blending and occasionally burning. Spruce tip ice cream was definitely something we’re going to do more off soon! Thank you everyone for your support :) 🫶🏻🧡☀️ #klearlabs #golborneroad #playingwithfood #regen

Catching up here - more of what made up 2025, while we get ready for the new launch :) The juniper is staying with us and so are the pound cakes filled with strawberry jam, blue lavender ice cream, happy faces and fluffy donuts. And the cherry blossoms are just in bloom again :) #klearlabs
