About CAYO Nutra

The tanning gummy brand that refuses beta carotene.

CAYO Nutra builds supplements around what the clinical literature actually supports, then packages them in a way you'd actually want to take.

Our first product, ChUV, is the only tanning gummy we'd give to a friend. It's the one we couldn't find on the market, so we made it.

Christian Absher

I started CAYO because the supplement aisle treats its customers like they can't read a label. Tanning gummies were the worst example: almost every product on the shelf was built on beta carotene, the same ingredient that turns your palms orange at supplement doses and has documented safety concerns for smokers.

The ingredients that actually produce a natural warm tone, astaxanthin and lycopene, have real human clinical evidence behind them. They cost more. They're harder to source. So nobody was using them. That was the gap we wanted to fill.

ChUV uses 11 mg of astaxanthin and 5.5 mg of lycopene per gummy, both at the doses used in the studies. It's more expensive to manufacture than the competition, it takes 4-8 weeks to work instead of 2, and it doesn't turn anyone orange. Those are all features, not bugs.

We built a brand around honesty about what these ingredients can and can't do, and a product designed for people who want a real result, not a loud one.

How we build

Four principles we don't compromise on.

Clinical dose, not label dose

Every ingredient hits the dose used in the human study it cites. No dusted labels.

Clean formulation

Vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free. No artificial dyes. No beta carotene, ever.

Honest about limits

We tell you what ChUV does and what it does not. It is not sunscreen. It is not instant.

Real customer support

We answer every email personally. Ask about dosing, stacking, or timing and you get a real answer.
