Our Journey
Manapura began with a simple belief — staying active was the key to wellness. But over time, we realised that true vitality runs deeper. Beyond movement, our bodies needed restoration, focus, and lasting energy.
In 2020, our exploration led us to NMN and the science of cellular health. We discovered its role in boosting NAD+ levels, supporting energy production, and enhancing longevity. This sparked a broader pursuit — combining cutting-edge research with nature's purest ingredients to optimise well-being from within.
Functional mushrooms soon became part of our journey, deepening our understanding of cognition, circadian rhythms, and resilience. What started as personal discovery evolved into a mission: to empower others with scientifically backed, nature-sourced solutions for lasting vitality.
What started as personal curiosity became something bigger. Today, through Manapura, we’re creating lifestyles that support long-term vitality, whilst helping others do the same.
Why Choose Manapura?
Manapura empowers individuals to enhance their well-being and longevity with the purest ingredients on the market. Committed to transparency and quality, we offer science-backed, nature-sourced supplements at fair value to support the body’s natural cycles of restoration and vitality.
By combining cutting-edge research with clinically proven ingredients, we redefine longevity and nootropics with holistic, earth-inspired solutions. Through expert-led education and personalized wellness support, Manapura promotes a refined, health-focused lifestyle.
Every ingredient undergoes rigorous third-party testing, ensuring unmatched purity and integrity. Our mission is to extend health span, improve sleep, and optimise cognitive function — empowering men and women to embrace longevity through premium, research-backed nutrition.
Our Production Process
Manapura products are formulated from only the highest quality raw ingredients, sourced from across the globe. We prioritise ingredients that are extracted from botanical sources, and our production processes focus on natural and organic methods in order to preserve potency, with zero fillers or additives.
Extensive efforts by the Manapura team have ensured our longevity supplements are the purest available on the market, and are produced to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in order to ensure consistent quality. Each batch of our longevity products then undergoes further third-party testing to ensure authenticity and purity.
In our nootropics range, unlike many low-grade functional mushrooms on the market today, our liquid-extract tinctures are produced locally in the UK. Manapura’s certified organic tinctures are made exclusively from the fruiting body of British mushrooms, with zero mycelium, fillers, or artificially enhanced components. This stands Manapura apart in an industry where shortcuts often compromise quality, and means we know exactly what is going into our functional mushroom product range.
Manapura is committed to delivering premium, naturally derived produce, with no unnecessary ingredients added at any stage of our production processes. Our product range are as clean and authentic as they come, setting a standard we believe every supplement company should follow.
Our Sustainability Promise
At Manapura, sustainability isn’t just a principle — it’s a responsibility. From the way we formulate our products to the way we package them, we’re committed to creating supplements that are not only pure and effective, but also gentle on the planet.
Our mushroom cultivation process is entirely single-use plastic-free, and we repurpose all spent substrate into nutrient-rich compost to support regenerative agriculture. As a crop, mushrooms are inherently sustainable — requiring minimal water, energy, and space — and we’re proud to produce our certified organic tinctures here in the UK using only the fruiting body, with zero fillers or mycelium.
We’ve also taken a deliberate approach to packaging. Every element is 100% sustainable and kerbside recyclable, made using compostable materials from managed forests and printed with water-based inks. Designed to break down and regenerate within our lifetime, our packaging reflects our long-term view of wellness — one that includes the health of the earth.
