Health

Superfoods are nutrient-dense and low in calories. They are crammed with essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, iron, magnesium, B vitamins and vitamin A. These nutrients help build proteins such as collagen and biotin - crucial for robust joints, heart health, thick hair and glowing skin. They can also reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. 

We have carefully selected the finest-quality superfoods to enhance your daily life. Five servings of superfoods a day will skyrocket your health and wellness.

Cacao 

Cacao products are made from unprocessed cacao beans. Cacao powder is lusciously rich, making it an excellent alternative to cocoa, which is heavily processed and often contains added sugar. We provide organic cacao powder, cacao nibs, cacao butter buttons and cacao liquor buttons to boost your energy and satisfy your chocolate cravings.

Turmeric

Tumeric is a potent superfood, traditionally used in Ayurveda, an ancient Indian practice which translates as ‘science of life.’ The tiny root has vivid orange flesh and is a health and beauty staple. It has scientifically proven anti-inflammatory properties to soothe the stomach, increase blood flow and enhance skin health. 

We provide turmeric as a raw powder and in tea bags. We also have turmeric capsules and turmeric-infused sauerkraut.

Protein powder

Getting enough protein for elasticated skin, supple tendons, stable arteries, and strong hair and nails is essential. Boost your protein intake by using a protein powder. Browse our range of chocolate, banana and strawberry-flavoured powders or opt for plant-based pumpkin, hemp or chia seed protein powder.

Maca powder

Maca powder is a light-coloured powder with an earthy caramel flavour and comes from the Peruvian plant Lepidium meyenii. It’s an aphrodisiac (which increases your libido) and fantastic for skin health and lowering blood pressure.

Manuka honey

Bees in New Zealand make Manuka honey using the nectar of a specific plant with a short flowering period (just four to six weeks). This makes the honey rare and sought after. Studies show Manuka honey’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties are far more potent than regular honey, earning its superfood label.

Superfood powders

It’s challenging to fit in all your superfoods. So, we’ve collated a variety of premium-quality superfood powders. These include kelp, marine collagen, pumpkin, hemp, cranberry, chia seed and pea protein. We also have wheatgrass, spirulina, baobab, inulin and chlorella. But that’s not all. 

Our superfood powders are so popular that we increased our range to include beetroot, Reishi mushroom, Acai Berry, psyllium and ashwagandha powder.

Superfood supplements

Whether it’s powders, oils or superfood juice, we have it all. Our superfood supplements include lecithin granules (fantastic for balancing cholesterol), cumin seed oil (perfect for muscle aches) and bee pollen (excellent during menopause).

We also have aloe vera juice, sour cherry and pomegranate for revitalising skin, strengthening nails and promoting hair shine.

Multivitamins

Sometimes, your body needs a top-up, and that’s when multivitamins come in handy. We have a strawberry and kiwi oral spray of fourteen essential vitamins and minerals. You can also choose our multivitamin capsules, containing vitamins C, E, A, D3, B1, B2 and Niacin.

Bees make Manuka honey in New Zealand using the nectar of the Manuka bush (leptospermum scoparium). It contains methylglyoxal (MGO) - a component in Manuka honey with potent anti-bacterial properties, making the honey a superfood. The flowers of the Manuka bush only bloom for four to six weeks, adding to the value of this beautiful, golden honey.

Manuka honey is great for gut health, skin, blood flow, regulating blood sugar and reducing joint pain. It is rich in B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc.

Nutritional benefits of manuka honey

Manuka honey is an incredible anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, abundant in crucial vitamins and minerals. Below are the advantages of regularly consuming or using Manuka honey:

Rich in B-vitamins - B vitamins increase moods by releasing the happy hormones serotonin and dopamine. This lowers the stress hormone cortisol, reducing stress, anxiety and depression.

High in iron - You need iron for brain function, regulated moods and balanced energy levels. Without enough, you may struggle with extreme fatigue and focus. Taking small amounts of Manuka honey will enhance your iron to reduce the chance of a deficiency.

Abundant in magnesium - The mineral magnesium releases melatonin to induce sleep. Stress and blue light from screens suppress melatonin. So, sip a warm oat milk drink with Manuka honey for a relaxing evening and peaceful slumber.

Contains potassium - Your body needs potassium to change protein into energy. Potassium also fortifies the immune system to fight harmful bacteria and reduce the effects of colds.

Source of zinc - Zinc is a mineral that boosts your immune system by helping white blood cells create pathogens, defending the body against illness. It also increases your metabolism for better energy, sleep and moods.

Easy ways to use manuka honey

Manuka honey is delicious raw, but there are many ways to use it for health and beauty purposes. Below are our top tips for using Manuka honey:

Drink lemon, ginger and Manuka honey tea - Chop up a handful of ginger and lemon slices, pour in boiling water and let steep for about three minutes. Add a teaspoon of Manuka honey for a tasty hot drink that aids digestion and eases coughs and colds. Don’t add the honey immediately, as boiling water can kill off its antibacterial properties.

Apply as a soothing face mask - The anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of Manuka honey make it a wonderful treatment for acne and redness. Smooth a tablespoon onto your skin and leave for fifteen minutes before gently removing with a warm cloth.

Drizzle over breakfast - A simple option to get a dose of Manuka honey is drizzling a small amount over porridge, granola, or Greek yoghurt.

Use as a natural sweetener - Instead of sugar or maple syrup, switch to Manuka honey for a delicious and natural sweetener.

Stir into your coffee - Swap the sugar in your coffee for half a teaspoon of Manuka honey. Ensure the coffee isn’t boiling, as this will destroy the honey's healing and health properties.

We have a delicious range of Manuka honey with 300+ methylglyoxal (the anti-bacterial component) and Pure Gold Manuka Honey. Browse our products today.

Tumeric is a vibrant orange root from the Asian plant Curcuma longa, related to ginger. It has an earthy kick and is classed as a spice. It’s an incredible anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory due to the chemical it contains called curcumin. The body absorbs curcumin up to 2,000% more when combined with black pepper. So, when you use the root, eat it alongside black pepper.

Regularly consuming turmeric is fantastic for digestion, heart health, blood flow, hair, skin and mental health. It’s a source of iron, fibre, magnesium, potassium and calcium.

Nutritional benefits of turmeric

Considering it’s such a small root, turmeric is rich in vitamins and minerals. In fact, the spice is so nutrient-dense that it falls under the superfood category. Check out the benefits of its top nutrients below:

High in iron - Iron aids the transportation of oxygen and nutrients to lift your energy and reduce fatigue. If you have an iron deficiency, which isn’t uncommon, you will always feel tired and irritable and find it difficult to focus. Add turmeric as one of your sources of iron.

Contains magnesium - You need magnesium for a healthy sleep cycle as it releases the sleep hormone melatonin. Therefore, having a warm turmeric-infused drink before bed can help you drift off for a peaceful slumber.

Abundant in potassium - Potassium converts protein into energy and balances blood pressure. This helps with studying, working, cleaning and enhancing sports performance. Potassium also reduces the risk of heart disease and developing type 2 diabetes.

Full of fibre - Turmeric is an excellent source of fibre, essential for a healthy digestive system. Your gut is responsible for communicating with your brain when to release certain hormones, so it must be well-cared for.

Source of calcium - Yes, surprisingly, turmeric contains calcium! Eating small amounts daily will increase calcium intake for strong bones and healthy teeth. 

Easy ways to eat turmeric

It’s easy to add turmeric to your diet in small amounts. Below are a few of our ideas to get you started:

Grate into porridge - Turmeric porridge? Yes! Make a warming porridge with turmeric, ginger and cinnamon. It goes well with citrus fruits such as orange to compliment the spicy zing.

Include in your veg shakes - Add turmeric to your morning veg shake for anti-inflammatory effects. It will give you consistent energy throughout the day while keeping your blood sugar levels steady.

Stir into curries - Give your curries a spice kick and grate turmeric into your meals for a natural, gold-yellow colour.

Make turmeric lattes - Whip up a turmeric latte with oat milk for a hot, frothy drink that gets your blood pumping. Leave out the espresso and add a teaspoon of vanilla essence for a soothing bedtime drink. Don’t forget to add a sprinkle of black pepper for those full benefits.

Mix into scrambled eggs - Take your scrambled eggs to the next level with a blend of cayenne pepper and turmeric. It’s a protein-fuelled breakfast with added iron and potassium.
