Look inside the box.
Contents: 30 Nutrakos Drinkable sachets, 15 ml each.
Nutrakos contains amino acids rather than collagen. Its liquid format makes the sachet easy to take directly or with a little water. The Dalton measurement describes molecular mass; it does not mean amino acids can only be absorbed in liquid form.
THE SCIENCE, BROUGHT INTO VIEWFrom the sachet
to the body
to the body
01 / In the liquid
Small building blocks.
Already free.
Nutrakos contains six free amino acids in a liquid sachet. “Free” means the amino acids are not joined together in protein or peptide chains.
02 / During digestion
From chains
to building blocks.
Dietary proteins and longer peptides are broken down during digestion. Free amino acids do not need peptide bonds to be split before absorption.
03 / Across the intestine
A remarkable
living surface.
Folds and microscopic projections give the small intestine a large absorptive surface. Transport proteins help amino acids and small peptides cross the intestinal lining.
04 / Into the body
Part of a much
bigger picture.
After absorption, amino acids join the body’s wider nutrient pool. The body uses them in many processes, including making proteins.

Your daily routine.
One sachet daily means a box lasts 30 days.
One in the morning and one in the evening means a box lasts 15 days.
Drink directly or mix with a small amount of water. Avoid hot beverages. Follow the directions on your current pack; research protocols differ.
The existing Labraix routine recommends consistent use for at least three months. Timing and degree of any visible change vary between people.
Questions about the formula.
What are the quantities and ratios?
The existing product page lists 3 g total amino acids per 15 ml sachet. The ratios published in the laboratory paper are shown separately as the studied mixture, rather than represented as a new assay of the retail pack.
Does it contain collagen?
No. It contains six amino acids that the body can use as building blocks for proteins.
Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
The existing Labraix information describes the amino acids as not animal-derived and the product as suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Check the current label for confirmation.
What about allergens?
The existing product information lists no common allergens, including milk, soy, gluten, nuts, eggs, fish or shellfish. If you have an allergy, check the full label and ask Labraix about your specific needs before ordering.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Suitability depends on your other supplements, medicines and health circumstances. Check with your pharmacist or clinician if you are unsure, and follow the current product directions.
