Pioneering the future of skin health
Pioneering the future of skin health - 20 Years of Advanced Nutrition Programme™
For decades, the Advanced Nutrition Programme has been redefining what skincare means thanks to our founders David Alpert and Tracy Tamaris of the iiaa. What began in London in 2006 as a pioneering vision for “beauty from within” has evolved into a globally respected brand at the forefront of skin and gut health innovation, trusted by skincare professionals, doctors, pharmacists, editors and consumers in more than 20 countries worldwide. As we celebrate this anniversary, we look back on two decades of scientific breakthroughs, transformative products and a relentless commitment to advancing skin health through cutting-edge nutritional science.
Where it all began
Advanced Nutrition Programme™ launched in 2006 with a small but ambitious range of supplements designed to support wellbeing from within. We conducted our first London roadshow at the Covent Garden Hotel, marking the beginning of a movement that would help shape the future of professional skincare supplementation.
From the outset, our mission was clear: to bridge the gap between nutrition, skin science and professional skincare expertise. Long before the gut-skin axis became a global wellness conversation, we were already investing in research that recognised the deep connection between internal health and visible skin results.
Innovations that changed the industry
Over the years, Advanced Nutrition Programme™ has introduced some of the industry’s most recognised and award-winning skin supplements.
The launch of Skin Accumax™ in 2012 marked a major turning point for the brand. Today, it remains one of our most iconic formulations, recommended by over 10,000 skincare professionals worldwide and supported by clinical research demonstrating 60% experienced a reduction in redness.
As skin science evolved, so did we. Here are more of our innovation highlights:
2017: elevated our approach to nutrient synergy with Skin Ultimate. This skin supplement system contains daily pods with five capsules to target and support the visible signs of skin ageing. Research highlights 19% improvement in skin elasticity in one box.
2019: pioneering Skin Youth Biome™ entered markets, bringing microbiome innovation into the spotlight with a gut-first approach to skincare. This formula was upgraded in 2022 with postbiotics.
2021: launched Skin Clear Biome™, a breakthrough supplement for stressed skin that would go on to win multiple international awards and secure a UK patent in 2023.
2023: introduction of Skin Blue Filter innovation one-a-day skincare supplement developed to help protect the skin from the visible effects of blue light exposure and environmental stressors from within.
2025: Skin Integrate 28 Biome Powder — our innovative prebiotic powder designed to support gut, skin and overall wellness. The product sold out within weeks across multiple markets, reinforcing growing consumer demand for advanced biome-focused solutions.
Brand built on science, skin and results
Science has always been at the heart of everything we do. From our in-house Skin Health Research Centre in London to our GMP-certified UK manufacturing facility with NSF accreditation, every product is developed with efficacy, quality and long-term skin health in mind. Over the last two decades, we have conducted more than 100 pre-clinical trials on our finished formulas, secured over 30 patents and received more than 60 international awards. These milestones reflect our unwavering dedication to creating clinically backed supplements that deliver real, visible results.
Perhaps our proudest achievement, however, is transforming the skin health and skin confidence of thousands of individuals worldwide. For decades, we have empowered people of all ages and skin journeys to feel more confident in their skin by supporting not only complexion goals, but overall wellbeing and longevity through progressive nutritional science.
Our progress has also been shaped by visionary experts including Lorraine Perretta, Head of Nutrition, Dr Gaby Prinsloo, our Medical Director, and Tanya Meyer, Research Manager, whose expertise continues to educate and guide the next generation of skin health innovation.

What started as a UK-based concept is now a thriving international brand with launches across Europe, North America, Australasia and beyond.
