The Quiet Fire Within, How Nectar 01. To Helps Calm Cellular Inflammation

Most people think of inflammation as something you can see - redness, swelling, a visible reaction when the body is healing. But there’s another kind: cellular inflammation. It’s invisible, persistent and far more influential on how we age, feel and function than most realise.

This “quiet fire” is the body’s internal stress signal. When triggered by poor diet, environmental toxins, stress or lack of rest, it tells your cells to defend themselves. Over time, if that switch never turns off, it can cause a slow, steady breakdown in the way your cells repair, renew and communicate. Scientists have even coined a term for it: inflammageing, the gradual ageing of the body driven by chronic, low-grade inflammation.

How Cellular Inflammation Accelerates Ageing

Healthy cells are constantly repairing microscopic damage, to DNA, mitochondria and cell membranes. But when inflammation persists, those repair systems become overwhelmed. The result?

Collagen breaks down faster, leading to dull, less elastic skin.

Energy production dips, leaving you tired even after rest.

Cell communication falters, affecting everything from mood to metabolism.

Oxidative stress builds, speeding up the visible and invisible signs of ageing.

It’s not dramatic, it’s gradual. You don’t wake up inflamed; you drift into it. And that’s where intelligent nourishment makes all the difference.

The NÆRE Approach: Cellular Nourishment

Nectar 01. was designed to target the root of this process, helping the body restore calm at a cellular level through a blend of bioavailable nutrients, botanicals and antioxidants. Every ingredient plays a distinct role in supporting the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response and protecting cells from stress.

Let’s look at how key actives in NÆRE work together to keep inflammation and ageing in check.

Astareal ® Astaxanthin

Often called the king of antioxidants, astaxanthin is a deep-red carotenoid derived from microalgae. It’s uniquely able to cross both the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers, meaning it protects cell membranes throughout the body.

It works on three fronts:

+ Neutralises free radicals before they can trigger inflammatory signalling.

+ Suppresses key inflammatory messengers like NF-κB, IL-6, and TNF-α.

+ Shields mitochondrial membranes, protecting the engines that power each cell.

In short, astaxanthin acts as a fire blanket for the body, calming oxidative stress and helping cells repair efficiently, a foundation of youthful, resilient skin and energy.

Gotu Kola

A revered Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine herb, Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) supports collagen synthesis and improves microcirculation. But beneath that lies a deeper benefit: it helps modulate inflammatory signalling at the cellular level.

Research shows it supports healthy mitochondrial function, reduces oxidative damage, and enhances skin’s structural proteins, making it a quiet hero for both inner and outer repair.

Maca Root

Sourced from the Peruvian Andes, Maca Root helps regulate hormonal balance and improve resilience to stress. Its bioactive compounds also exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, reducing nitric oxide production and protecting against oxidative damage.

By easing stress at the hormonal level, maca helps keep the body’s inflammatory response in balance, ensuring your internal “fight or flight” mode doesn’t stay switched on.

Peptan® Hydrolysed Marine Collagen

NÆRE’s Type I & III Marine Collagen (Peptan F2000 LD) provides structural amino acids essential for repairing and maintaining connective tissue. Studies show collagen peptides help reduce the release of inflammatory cytokines and support tissue regeneration, directly addressing one of the key processes behind inflammageing.

When cells are better supported, they repair faster, perform better, and communicate more effectively — the essence of true cellular nourishment.

Vitamins C, E & D3

Together, these vitamins form a powerful triad for protecting cells:

Vitamin C regenerates other antioxidants and supports collagen formation.

Vitamin E protects lipid membranes from oxidative damage.

Vitamin D3 helps regulate the immune system, keeping inflammatory responses balanced, not overactive.

These micronutrients act like your cells’ defence network, ensuring inflammation doesn’t become chronic and damaging.

The Synergy That Matters

Individually, these ingredients offer impressive benefits. But NÆRE’s real strength lies in synergy, the way antioxidants, collagen, adaptogens and micronutrients work together to reduce inflammatory stress and promote repair.

Each scoop delivers support across three key pillars of cellular health:

1. Protect - antioxidants and adaptogens defend against oxidative stress.

2. Repair - collagen and vitamins aid tissue renewal and structural integrity.

3. Balance - anti-inflammatory botanicals calm the body’s stress response.

The result? A system that doesn’t just survive but thrives for clearer skin, steadier energy and a visible sense of wellbeing that starts deep within.

From Inflammation to Radiance

Inflammation isn’t always the enemy, it’s part of how the body heals. The problem arises when it never stops. NÆRE’s formulation helps your body find its natural equilibrium again, easing that constant background stress so your cells can do what they’re meant to: repair, renew and glow.

Because when your cells are calm, everything else begins to flourish.
