The DIRTEA Pure Essentials range is a new lineup of dietary supplements from the functional mushroom brand that helps it to transition beyond fungi into new categories. The supplement range is launching with the Creatine and Collagen varieties, which are each focused on their singular active ingredients and have been independently tested by Eurofins and Light Labs to prioritize purity and safety.
DIRTEA Pure Essentials Creatine has 100% micronized creatine monohydrate, while the DIRTEA Pure Essentials Collagen has 5,000mg of Type I and Type III hydrolyzed collagen peptides.
CEO Jessica Salmanpour spoke on the DIRTEA Pure Essentials range saying, "At DIRTEA, we applied our standard of purity, potency and transparency to create cleaner, smarter formulas – using clinically respected Peptan® collagen, independently tested by Eurofins and Light Labs, and 100% high-quality creatine monohydrate with nothing unnecessary added. This is not about trends or cosmetic claims; it’s about resilience, everyday strength and supporting the body and mind properly, over time."
