If there's one thing you should take the time to read, it's this!Nourished3 was born from personal struggles and triumphs, and today marks a major milestone—we are closing our crowdfunding campaign.Nourished3 wasn’t built for us. We built it for the 70% of people who struggle with skin issues.Both Annie and I have experienced firsthand how acne, stress, and gut health impact not just the skin but also confidence and overall well-being.In November 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, we took a leap of faith, self-funding Nourished3 with $250K. We started with a single face mask, uncertain if we could make an impact in an oversaturated market.The “3” in Nourished3 represents skin, gut, and brain health. But in the beginning, we didn’t have the resources to develop products across all three areas. So, we started small—one skincare product—and grew from there.From day one, we set out to do things differently. We refused to cut corners, even when people told us:“It’s too expensive.”“No one does this.”“Just use ‘marketing levels’ of ingredients.”“Source from cheaper suppliers to cut costs.”That didn’t align with our vision. Instead, we committed to using the highest-quality ingredients at clinically effective levels—formulating with up to 80% active ingredients while minimizing water content in favor of nutrient-rich alternatives.Beyond that, we upheld the strictest safety standards, adhering to EU regulations that ban over 1,700 harmful ingredients. We went even further, eliminating any carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic-to-reproduction substances—because safety should never be optional.Fast forward four years and $1M in sales later, we’re taking the next step. We launched this crowdfunding campaign to bring our full 3-step skin-gut-brain system to life—backed by clinical research to validate its long-term benefits.Our mission is simple: to shift skincare from treatment to prevention. Because real skincare isn’t just topical—it starts from within.The Gut-Skin-Brain Axis ExplainedGut → Skin Connection: An imbalanced gut can lead to systemic inflammation, triggering skin issues like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. A nourished gut microbiome supports skin health by strengthening the protective barrier and reducing inflammation.Gut → Brain Connection: The vagus nerve acts as a communication highway between the gut and brain. Beneficial gut bacteria influence neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—impacting mood, stress, and cognitive function. A balanced gut microbiome helps regulate stress responses and inflammation.Skin & Brain Connection (via the gut): Stress alters gut balance, triggering inflammation that can show up as breakouts, skin irritation, and accelerated aging. Chronic inflammation disrupts hormone levels and skin homeostasis, affecting everything from collagen production to hydration.Our Science-Backed Trifecta SolutionOur triple-biotic approach delivers:✔️ Probiotics – Clinically studied strains that support digestive health, immune function, and microbiome balance.✔️ Prebiotics – Specialized fibers that selectively feed beneficial bacteria, enhancing SCFA production and gut health.✔️ Postbiotics – Bioactive metabolites that regulate inflammation, reinforce the skin barrier, and support cognitive function.This holistic approach nurtures existing gut microbes, introduces beneficial strains, and delivers potent microbial metabolites—creating a foundation for long-term skin health.To make this vision a reality, we’ve expanded our science team with top experts, including:👨‍🔬 Mark JS Miller, PhD, MBA – Professor at three U.S. universities🦠 Dr. Amine Zorgani – Renowned microbiologist and gut health specialist🥑 Nicole Barnett, ND – Clinical nutritionist and holistic health expertRead what Dr Mark Miller has to say:We’ve also strengthened our leadership with industry veterans like Kathryn Paves, Caroline Rothwell Gerstein, and Michelle Lee, who are guiding our launch and go-to-market strategy.Where We’re Headed NextThanks to our incredible community, we’ve raised $550K through crowdfunding alone! Now, we’re in the final stages of developing our long-awaited skin-gut-brain product line (3 years in the making), launching this August alongside a brand-new website and refreshed brand design.But today is the last chance to be part of this journey.🚀 We are closing today—if you want to invest or increase your investment, this is your final opportunity.Already Invested?
