Occasionally on this site, we recommend and profile brands from abroad. Sometimes it’s good to look beyond our own shores, to be inspired by unique aspects that others are creating in business.
Always check with GP before taking supplements if pregnant/nursing or if taking other medications or supplements. Keep away from young children and pets.
Future Kind is a supplement brand founded by two brothers, who are nutritionists from Australia. Like a growing number of UK brands, these are all vegan. So what’s different about this brand, in that it’s loved by thousands of customers worldwide?
Not only are all the supplements sold in recycled packaging, using carbon-offset deliveries. But it donates a portion of profits to animal sanctuaries worldwide.
And not only that, but you can use Kind Coins to redeem against future orders (or donate those Kind Coins to animal sanctuaries instead). Each customer also receives a ‘certificate of sponsorship’, showing the good their purchases are doing.
Comparison with Conventional Supplements
Many supplements are made with fish oil (problems with cruelty, by-catch and mercury) and vitamin D is often made from lanolin (often from factory-farmed sheep wool). Collagen typically is from the discarded parts of cows and fish, to eek more profit in the farming industry.
This company makes omega-3 from algae (the same place the fish get it), sustainably-sourced lichen (for vitamin D) and produces supplements containing super-berries and zinc, to naturally produce your own collage, for their beauty supplements.
The pouches can be home-composted and will break down in days.
And finally, although the supplements are made in the US, this company does not have ‘big offices’. Instead, it works as a remote team, with home workers around the world running the company.
Unlike our government which tried to force people back to offices after the pandemic to make rich landlords happy, FutureKind prefer people to have good life/work balance by working from home, and not have to leave family (including pets) for long commutes to offices in the city. This also reduces the number of cars on the road.
What Supplements Does FutureKind Make?
The Multivitamin covers your bases. It contains vitamin B12 (which 92% of vegans don’t get enough of – along with many other people) along with plant-based omega 3 and vitamin D. Importantly, it is not ‘filled up’ with other nutrients that aren’t needed in supplements. There’s also a special prenatal vitamin for expecting mums.
This company also makes vegan protein powders and vegan meal shakes (made with blueberries, kale, spinach and broccoli. You get a free steel shaker with your first order, then compostabe pouches after that.
