Maca root is a radish-like root that typically grows in Peru. It boosts energy and is known for its ability to increase mental clarity, improve energy levels and boost the immune system. Containing essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium, maca is a supplement that is growing in popularity. It is an adaptogen meaning that it adapts to what the body needs and can help to keep the body in balance.
We add maca to our delicious Kale, Reishi & Maca Juice. This superfood is a complete protein and rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, and other essential vitamins and minerals. It provides an energy boost, but it's not a stimulant (like caffeine), so it won't leave you jittery and anxious.
Cocoa. The bean from cocoa is very rich in flavonols which are antioxidants that fight free radicals. It is these flavonols that make chocolate good for you. According to the Cleveland Clinic, flavonoids have other health properties such as helping to lower blood pressure, improving blood flow to the brain and heart, and making blood platelets less sticky, helping to prevent clotting.
We all know that chocolate makes us feel good and this is likely related to cacao's high magnesium content, which plays a role in both relaxation and energy production. We add cacao to our mouth-watering beetroot and maqui juice which makes for a refreshing and energising drink.
Goji berries sometimes called ‘wolfberries’ have long been used in traditional medicines. Most dark blue, red and orange berries, contain high levels of antioxidants, which may help protect the body against damage from free radicals. Goji berries uniquely contain Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, which are thought to provide a variety of impressive health benefits.
In addition, goji berries provide 11 essential amino acids—more than other common berries . They're also a source of carbohydrates for energy and amino acids to help meet the body's protein needs. It has also been recently demonstrated that Goji berry can alleviate low-level anxiousness in animals.
We add Goji berry to our Elixir Vitality juice which is an incredible anti-oxidant and provides a natural energy boost. The high levels of vitamins and nutrients it contains also boosts the immune system, supports blood cell development and assist with healthy skin, nails and vision.
