Ageing is a natural part of life, and at Sally-Ann Creed we believe it is something worth celebrating. While we cannot stop this process, we can help our body age in the best possible way – we like to think of it as ageing with grace. Sally-Ann Creed has always...

Candida albicans is a yeast/fungus that is found in all of our digestive systems. When kept in balance with our good bacteria, Candida doesn’t cause any problems. But Candida is “opportunistic” – which means, given the opportunity, it can, and will, grow out of control. When we have an overabundance...

If you really want to follow a proper Paleo, Keto, or low-carb lifestyle, you shouldn’t be buying ANYTHING that is not real food (meat, veg, fats etc) – in fact nothing you don’t make and/or cook yourself. You won’t buy “keto-friendly” rusks, “keto-friendly” drinks or processed products, because you’ll be...

To celebrate Mothers Day 2022, we partnered with Fenn Collective to spoil one lucky mom with a wonderful red Fenn bag, and R1500 worth of Sally-Ann Creed products. After receiving countless entries from children nominating their moms, we randomly chose our winner – Eldoray Sickle from Cape Town. Eldoray is...

Unfortunately, this is a very real condition, but one that you can conquer. Most of us eat a bit more than we should now and then, but I’m referring here to people who develop an addiction to food – addiction is not only about drugs and alcohol. Food addiction is...

Protein is the main ingredient your body uses to build immune antibodies as well as heal inflamed structural tissues and muscles. Protein hence helps speed up your healing. These functions...

We’re all learning the unintended consequences of Covid-19. The butterfly effect of a global pandemic on Whey Protein is quite profound. Firstly, let’s talk about how our Whey Protein is made. It’s the byproduct of the cheesemaking process. Milk is broken down into the curds and whey, with the curds...

After all these years, we still get asked whether it’s ok to put collagen into coffee – due to some rather hilariously blatant articles telling you that it will breakdown, or won’t work. They say it “falls apart” under heat – but um, hang on, hydrolysed collagen is HEAT TREATED!...

Have you ever opened a chocolate bar and noticed a white layer over the surface of your chocolate or little, granular white specks? This is a common phenomenon, and is known as Chocolate Blooming. The good news is that it has little to no effect on your chocolate bar, other...

Bovine and chicken collagen are the 2 superior forms of collagen to use. Type 1 collagen is the most abundant ‘type’ found in the body which is also found in bovine collagen – we are seldom short of this kind.  The chicken ‘type’ (type 2) is usually depleted in the...
