For your health – and the planet’s

Our truly eco-friendly packaging system – designed to minimize the use of all materials. The ones we do use are plant-based, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of both production and transport.

  • Compostable jar
    Suplement diety nikalab – Baza na co dzień dla kobiet 18-49 lat, biodegradowalny słoiczek z jasną etykietą. 60 wegańskich kapsułek dla codziennego wsparcia kondycji organizmu, urody, samopoczucia.

    The jar – including the label – is both biodegradable and compostable (not all biodegradable materials are compostable). Learn more →

    It's made from a plant-based polymer derived from starch and fermented sugarcane. A material that’s not only 100% natural, but also endlessly renewable.

    The label is made of "tree-free" paper – composed of 95% sugarcane fibers and 5% hemp and flax.

    It contains a built-in UV filter that blocks ultraviolet rays, which can degrade certain active ingredients.

    The jar is produced under ISO6 conditions – among the most rigorous European standards for direct-contact packaging.

  • Compostable envelope

    The shipping envelope is also biodegradable and compostable. It's made from plant-based polymers and corn starch.

    Through our partnership with its manufacturer, we not only eliminate plastic – we also support the Seabin Project, an initiative working toward cleaner oceans. Thanks to this collaboration, 228 kg of plastic have already been removed from the ocean.

    Together, we also support Trace – a program that captures CO₂ directly from the atmosphere.

    The jar and the envelope are the only packaging we use. No unnecessary boxes. No filler.

    The shipping label, like the envelope, is "tree-free" and fully biodegradable and compostable – including the adhesive.

A broken healthcare industry.

If a company's mission is to care for our health, caring for the planet must go hand in hand.

Did you know that…

  • Compostable packaging has the lowest carbon footprint of all packaging types(1, 2)

    It uses fewer resources and less energy than the production of plastic, glass, or aluminum packaging – and eliminates the need for recycling altogether.

  • Glass packaging has the highest carbon footprint of all packaging types

    They’re inefficient to produce, require large amounts of raw materials and energy, and are heavier and more fragile during shipping(2).

  • We’re using up sand (needed to produce glass) faster than the planet can replenish it

    Its overuse contributes to soil erosion and increasingly frequent floods. Today, we use more sand than oil(3).

  • Estimates show that only 21% of glass is recycled globally(4)
    So while it sounds good in theory, the reality is different. The recycling process itself puts almost as much strain on the environment as producing new glass.
  • Glass takes over 1,000,000 years to fully decompose
    Unlike plastic, its decomposition isn’t toxic to the planet. But do we really have that much space – and that much time?
  • Only 9% of all plastic ever produced has been recycled
    In the past 15 years – despite growing awareness – companies have produced more than half of all the plastic in existence(2, 5).
  • Plastic is toxic for the environment – and takes over 500 years to decompose
    As it breaks down, it turns into microplastics – now found everywhere, even in the most intimate parts of our bodies(6).
  • The production of plant-based biopolymers is highly efficient
    It uses just 0.01% of the world’s agricultural land, doesn’t compete with food crops, and supports the development of rural areas(7).
  • Growing these plants absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere and helps combat global warming
    Sugarcane absorbs 11 times more CO₂ from the atmosphere than it needs to grow(8).
  • Animal agriculture is responsible for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions
    Compared to growing crops, it also consumes far more resources – including land, water, and feed(9).
  • Algae – the source of our Omega-3 and vitamin D – produce 50% of the world’s oxygen
    Compared to other cultivated plants, they require minimal resources – and grow more abundantly(10).
  • 1 gr of algae has the same nutritional value as 1 kg of fruits and vegetables
    Algae are among the oldest – and most important – plants on Earth. NASA added them to astronauts space menus(11, 12).

If all of the above facts are widely known – why do so many companies across industries still choose to ignore them?

At nikalab, we believe there’s a better way than the one taken by most supplement brands (yes, even the so-called "premium" ones) – a path that doesn’t cut corners on what’s inside just to pour money into marketing and layers of pretty, but unsustainable, packaging.
