What This Product Is
Simple Reds is a powder blend of five organic whole-fruit and vegetable ingredients selected for their colour and naturally-occurring plant compounds. Each ingredient is processed as a whole-fruit (or whole-peel, in the case of apple) powder rather than as a juice concentrate or extract — preserving the natural fibre content of the source fruit.
The product is intended as a convenient way to add red fruit and vegetable powders to drinks or food. It does not contain probiotics, prebiotics (HMOs), or added vitamins. It is a simple whole-fruit blend.
The Five Ingredients
Organic Beetroot Powder (Whole)
Made from the whole beetroot. A common ingredient in fruit and vegetable powder blends, providing the deep red colour and a mild earthy flavour.
Organic Cranberry Powder (Whole)
Made from the whole cranberry, including skin and seeds. Cranberries are a source of dietary fibre and natural plant compounds (including proanthocyanidins, which give cranberries their characteristic colour).
Organic Goji Berry Powder (Whole)
Made from whole goji berries (also known as wolfberries). A traditional food in East Asian cuisine; commonly used in fruit powder blends for its colour and naturally-occurring carotenoids.
Organic Strawberry Powder (Whole)
Made from whole strawberries. Provides natural sweetness and contributes to the blend’s fruity flavour profile. A common food source of Vitamin C.
Organic Apple Peel Powder
Made from the peel of organic apples specifically. Apple peel contains a higher concentration of plant compounds and fibre than apple flesh, which is why this product uses peel rather than whole apple.
About Polyphenols
Polyphenols are a broad class of naturally-occurring plant compounds characterised by multiple phenol structural units. They are found across the plant kingdom and give many fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices their characteristic colours — red, purple, blue, and dark hues are often associated with the presence of polyphenols such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, and tannins.
Polyphenols are part of the normal diet for anyone consuming a varied intake of fruits and vegetables. They are present in foods like berries, dark grapes, tea, coffee, cocoa, citrus fruits, herbs and spices.
Simple Reds is a powder format that aggregates polyphenols from five plant sources in a single product. It is intended as a convenient addition to drinks or food for people wanting to add fruit and vegetable powders to their diet.
Where Simple Reds Fits in the Layer Origin Range
Simple Reds is a different category from the rest of the Layer Origin range at OptimOZ. The other Layer Origin products are prebiotic or synbiotic powders focused on gut bacteria substrates (HMOs, GOS, FOS, probiotics). Simple Reds is a whole-fruit powder blend — a different kind of product entirely.
| Product | Category |
|---|---|
| Simple Reds (this product) | Whole-fruit powder blend |
| PureHMO, SuperHMO, 6′-SL, Triblend HMO, SuperHMO Junior | Prebiotic powders |
| Dual HMO + Acidophilus | Synbiotic |
If you take a Layer Origin prebiotic product, Simple Reds is a separate fruit powder option you can take alongside it if you wish — they don’t replace each other.

Good to Know
What does it taste like?
Mildly fruity with an earthy note from the beetroot. Not overly sweet — there are no added sweeteners. Most people add it to smoothies, juice, or sweeter beverages rather than plain water for taste.
Does it stain?
Yes — the powder is deep red and will stain clothing, light-coloured countertops, or porous surfaces if spilled. Mix carefully and clean up promptly.
Is this product vegan?
Yes — all ingredients are plant-based.
Can I take this alongside HMO products?
Yes — Simple Reds is a fruit powder, not a prebiotic or probiotic. It can be taken alongside any of the Layer Origin HMO or synbiotic products. They serve different purposes and don’t conflict.
Is this product suitable for infants or children?
No. This product is formulated as an adult dietary supplement. It is not intended for use in infants, toddlers, or children.
Does it contain caffeine?
No. None of the ingredients (beetroot, cranberry, goji berry, strawberry, apple peel) naturally contain caffeine.

Beetroot note: Beetroot can cause harmless red or pink discolouration of urine (beeturia) in some people. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
Kidney stones: Beetroot is high in oxalates. People with a history of oxalate kidney stones should consult a healthcare practitioner before regular use.
Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use if you take prescription medication (particularly blood thinners — cranberry and goji can interact with warfarin), have any pre-existing medical condition, or are recovering from surgery.
