General

What is element3?


 element3 is a New Zealand range of science-led supplements for women, built around one idea: the right active, at the right time of day. It's a two-part daily ritual, with element3 Rise in the morning for energy and focus, and element3 Rest in the evening to help you wind down.  Our formulas bridge the gap between clinical active ingredients and clean daily energy, focusing on what women have told us they need. Made to be simple, effortless & make you feel your best.  That's the element3 difference.  

What is a Multi-Active?

A multi-active is a multivitamin built around active ingredients rather than vitamins and minerals alone. Where a standard multi delivers a broad sweep of nutrients at maintenance levels, a multi-active pairs those foundational nutrients with researched botanicals, amino acids, and bioactive compounds, each included at a dose the research supports rather than a token trace.
element3 formulates by time of day, because what the body needs in the morning is not what it needs at night. RISE supports energy and focus to start the day. REST supports the body's natural wind-down in the evening. Same principle, a different active blend, matched to when you take it.

Who is element3 Rise suitable for?


 element³ Rise is specifically formulated for women over 35 navigating demanding daily life whether that be career shifts, family activities, socialising, health or training for something. This advanced morning blend is made with specific dosages that are the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of her base vitamins and minerals, as well as clinically-proven doses of active ingredients.  It provides target support for sustained energy, brain function, mood stability, and enhanced brain function without the synthetic spikes or crashes of traditional stimulants. Engineered with premium, bioavailable daily active ingredients, Rise provides full-spectrum antioxidant defense and foundational immune support. For a comprehensive, science-backed breakdown of its exact active levels and clean energy mechanisms, explore our ingredients page.

What does element3 taste like?

element³ Rise has a smooth, refreshing taste with a naturally tart blackcurrant-apple profile, beautifully balanced between sweet and sour.


Hear what our customers have to say:


"I really enjoyed trying this. The taste was really pleasant. It wasn’t too sweet and didn’t taste artificial. It felt very smooth to drink and not gritty like some other health drinks I’ve tried before. It dissolved very well with only a little residue left. There wasn’t an unpleasant after taste and it didn’t feel difficult to finish, again like some other drinks I’ve had in the past where it feels like a bit of an effort to finish. Overall I really enjoyed this drink and I can’t wait to see where it takes me today!"


"It’s really lovely. Love that it isn’t too sweet or thick. I can drink this very easily."


"Smooth, tasty & easy to drink."


"Was a very smooth consistency just like water, very easy & pleasant to drink!"


"I was surprised by the sweet but sour taste. Generally I prefer salt over sweet things. Easy to drink."


"A lovely way to start the day."

Who is element3 Rest suitable for?


element³ Rest is designed for women seeking to support their overnight recovery, regulate their nervous system stress, and combat systemic fatigue. Designed to support managing hormonal shifts and restoring baseline vitality, this evening formula delivers the specific minerals and cofactors needed to ease into a deep, restorative sleep state. Rest works concurrently with your body’s natural evening repair cycle, supporting target hormone synthesis and soothing muscle tension.

Is element3 Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Allergen Friendly and Vegan?

Element3 Rise and element3 Rest are both free from gluten and dairy, animal products, egg, soy, sweeteners, preservatives, artificial flavours, colours, and gmos.

What scientific studies have been used to develop element³?

Our formulations draw on clinical studies across 29 active ingredients. For each active we look at the human research on what it does, the form that's best absorbed, and the dose shown to be useful, then include it at that level. Every ingredient has its own page setting out the research, including a study's limitations where relevant. Explore our ingredients and research here

What is the science behind your products?


 Every element3 formulation is anchored in chronobiology; providing the right active compounds at the time your body can best utilise them. Because a woman's biochemical needs shift from morning to night, our products work in tandem with your natural circadian rhythm.  element3 Rise supports daytime metabolic focus, while element3 Rest supports overnight biological restoration. Each of our 29 active ingredients is selected for its proven clinical synergy and included at evidence-based serving sizes. Our product development is directly linked to independent clinical studies, as well as established Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) levels to ensure complete transparency, which you can audit across our ingredient pages.   

Why does element3 use specific forms of vitamins and minerals?

The form of a nutrient decides how much of it your body can actually absorb and use. Two products can list the same vitamin or mineral and still deliver very different results, depending on the form. So we choose forms that are well absorbed and ready for the body to use, rather than the cheapest available. element3 Rise, for example, uses methylated B vitamins, the active form your body can use directly without having to convert it first. You can see the form we use for each ingredient, and the research behind it, on our ingredient pages.

Where can I find out more about your ingredients?

Every ingredient has its own page explaining what it is, how it works, and the research behind it. Explore the full range of our ingredients here

What is the element3 30 Day Money Back Satisfaction Promise?


We stand behind our blends and their effectiveness. If your first order isn't right for you, let us know within 30 days and we'll give you a full refund.
