From Wearables to Wellness Drinks: A Sneak Peek at What’s Brewing

When we first launched ION Body Armour®, the mission was simple: support everyday wellness through natural, functional products. We began with wearable wellness tools — recovery wellness wristbands, ION Wellness Insoles, and ION Pet Armour Tags — created for people & animals who value performance without the hype.

But as life evolved, so did the mission.

Like many family-run businesses, our journey was shaped by real moments — tired mornings, run-down days, sick kids needing support — and the growing realisation that hydration plays a bigger role in wellness than most people realise.

Enter: ION Hydration™ and Hydration Kidz™

Our first hydration sachets have officially arrived for testing — with clean-label formulas designed to support energy, focus, immunity, and everyday hydration for both grown-ups and kids.

ION Hydration® will focus on functional wellness for adults — clean, science-led sachets that fit daily routines without compromise.

Hydration Kidz® brings a fun, family-first approach to kids’ hydration, making it easier for parents to feel confident in what they’re giving their little ones. Less sugar. More purpose. No nasties.

And yes — they’re Powered by ION Body Armour®.

Why This Matters Now

The wellness industry is moving fast. Big brands are trying to catch up with what families already know: health doesn’t start in a lab — it starts at home. That’s where this was born.

We didn’t chase trends. We built something for the real world. A better hydration range that reflects who we are and what we stand for.

What’s Next?

We’re testing flavours. Sampling sachets. Listening to feedback. And preparing to launch something special.

So if you’ve followed ION Body Armour® since the beginning — from wristbands to wellness drinks — now’s the time to stay close. This brand was built for the long game. And the next wave is coming.

Finding Balance Naturally: Real Stories from Women Navigating Menopause

ION Body Armour® Wellness News | Balance, Comfort & Everyday Wellbeing

With so much conversation in the news about menopause and HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), more women are openly discussing their experiences and looking for gentle, everyday ways to support their wellbeing.

At ION Body Armour®, we’re hearing from women across the UK who are discovering positive changes in their daily comfort, rest, and balance while wearing our wristbands and other ion-based accessories.

 

Debbie’s Experience — Feeling Herself Again

“I got a band for insomnia due to being peri-menopausal. Not only did it help me sleep better, but I also noticed my hot flushes reduced — which was a huge deal for me personally.

Within a day of wearing it, I realised how much calmer and more balanced I felt. My sleep, mood, and energy all seemed to settle.

I feel more like my old self again and so relieved to have found something that fits naturally into my routine.”

– Debbie Johnston, Verified Customer

 

Lucy’s Experience — Everyday Relief and Comfort

“It’s the best we’ve both felt in years with age-related aches and stiffness.

My husband thought I was crazy when I bought one for each of us, but within a few days we both felt noticeably better and more mobile.”

– Lucy Gladwell, Verified Customer

 

A Growing Focus on Natural Balance

As interest in natural wellbeing and non-medical menopause support continues to rise, many women are exploring lifestyle approaches that encourage relaxation, balance, and confidence through this transition.

ION Body Armour® products are designed to complement an active lifestyle — offering a simple, stylish way to support daily balance and wellbeing.

World Mental Health Day: Finding Balance in a Busy World

Taking Time to Rebalance

Every year, World Mental Health Day reminds us to slow down and focus on what really matters — our wellbeing.

With constant notifications, busy schedules, and rising stress, finding balance can feel harder than ever.

At ION Body Armour®, we believe small daily habits can have a huge impact on how you feel — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Whether it’s better sleep, staying hydrated, or feeling calm and focused during the day, balance starts from within.

⚡ Why Energy Affects Your Mindset

When your body feels drained, your mental state often follows.

Stress, anxiety, and lack of recovery can all reduce focus, motivation, and overall wellbeing.

That’s why many people today are turning to natural energy balance tools — like walking, breathing techniques, or ION Body Armour® bracelets — as daily reminders to stay centred and calm.

“Balance isn’t about being perfect. It’s about creating small habits that help your body recharge and your mind reset.”

72 Real Story: Kerry’s Experience with ION Body Armour®

“I noticed immediate results with my anxiety — I usually struggle with crowded places and felt very calm at the Dublin Horse Show despite the large crowds.

It also helped when preparing for a flight, another time when my anxiety usually goes through the roof.

Since starting to wear the band, I haven’t suffered from vertigo at all. The quality of my sleep is great too!”

Kerry S., Verified Customer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stories like Kerry’s remind us why mental balance matters — and how simple tools can help create calm in everyday life.

Why So Many People Search for Health Bracelets – and Find ION Body Armour® Instead

Across the UK, thousands of people search every month for health bracelets and healing wristbands — looking for something that fits their lifestyle, feels comfortable, and maybe even helps them feel a little more balanced.

At ION Body Armour®, we’ve spent over a decade creating wristbands that people genuinely love to wear every day — not because we make claims, but because our customers trust how they feel when they wear them.

Encouraging Independent Pilot Study Shows Positive Results for ION Body Armour® Wristbands At Stirling University

At ION Body Armour®, our journey started close to home. Our own family experience showed us how negative ions might support everyday wellbeing — from helping our mum with fewer migraines & arthritic hands to Kevin managing anxiety. This inspired us to design our own wristband, infused with carefully selected minerals, to naturally harness the power of negative ions.

To explore this further, we partnered with the University of Stirling, supported by the Sporting Chance Initiative, on an independent 2-week pilot study with older adults.

 

The Results

The study compared participants wearing an ION Body Armour® wristband with a control group. While everyone’s experience was different, the ION group showed encouraging improvements:

  • Strength & Grip: Some participants achieved up to 20% gains in grip strength; average gains were higher than the control group.
  • Balance: The ION group recorded greater improvements in balance and stability after one week.
  • Blood Pressure: Both groups improved, but the Ion group showed a greater average reduction in systolic blood pressure (–6.8 mmHg vs –4.3 mmHg).
  • Cognitive Performance: The ION group improved their reaction times by –5.5%, more than double the improvement of the control group.
  • Power & Performance: In vertical jump and Wingate peak power tests, the Ion group again showed stronger improvements compared to control.

 

Why It Matters

These results suggest that ION Body Armour® wristbands may support strength, balance, focus, and overall performance. While this was a small-scale pilot study (around 20 participants), the findings are promising and provide a strong foundation for future research.

 

What Participants Said

As part of the pilot study, participants also filled out short questionnaires about their experiences. While everyone’s feedback was different, some common themes emerged:

  • Several participants wearing the ION Body Armour® wristband said they felt steadier on their feet and more balanced.
  • Some reported feeling more focused and alert in everyday activities.
  • A few noticed a firmer grip or greater ease when carrying out simple tasks.
  • Others did not notice a major change — which shows that, just like any wellbeing product, individual results can vary.

This personal feedback adds another layer to the study’s findings, showing how participants themselves experienced the product alongside the measured test results.

 

Our Commitment

We know that results can vary between individuals, which is why we’ve kept our wristbands cost-effective so anyone can try them. We are committed to supporting larger studies in the future to build on these early findings.

 

Disclaimer: The University of Stirling pilot study was a small-scale project with around 20 participants. Results were described as “encouraging” but are not conclusive proof. Individual experiences may vary, and ION Body Armour® products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

ION Body Armour® at the First Ever Scone Horse Trials

Last weekend, the ION Body Armour® team proudly attended the first ever Scone Horse Trials at the historic Scone Palace in Scotland. The event was a celebration of equestrian sport, endurance, and performance, and we were excited to be part of its debut year.

The sun shone on in Scone Palace, welcoming 27,500 people to a thrilling four days of elite and grassroots sport.

Supporting Equestrian Performance and Wellbeing

The Scone Horse Trials brought together riders, trainers, and equestrian enthusiasts for a weekend of world-class competition. Horses and riders demonstrated the very qualities we value most at ION Body Armour® — stamina, recovery, and resilience.

As a brand committed to performance and wellness products, it was the perfect opportunity to share our vision with the equestrian community. We also introduced concepts from our upcoming ION Equine Armour™ range, designed to support horse health and recovery.

Powered by ION Body Armour®

This event was more than just a competition — it was a chance to show how our innovation extends beyond human performance into equine products, wearable technology, and hydration solutions. Every new product we launch is part of our wider mission, all Powered by ION Body Armour®.

Looking Ahead

Being part of the first Scone Horse Trials was a privilege, and we’re looking forward to seeing the event grow year on year. For ION Body Armour®, this is only the beginning. From equestrian innovation to hydration and recovery products for athletes and families, our focus remains the same: helping people (and animals) perform at their best.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to expand.
