Grass-fed Bovine Collagen
Bovine collagen provides a plethora of health and wellness benefits.
It promotes skin wellness and delays aging processes by increasing skin moisture and elasticity and reducing wrinkles. It also improves the condition of hair and nails.
Collagen supplementation increases collagen synthesis in the body, supporting wound healing and preventing injury.
Bovine collagen reduces joint discomfort and pain, improves ankle and knee strength and functionality, accelerates recovery from joint injuries and Achilles tendonitis, and reduces pain associated with osteoarthritis. It also reduces joint and muscle soreness and promotes post-exercise recovery in athletes. Furthermore, it helps increase lean muscle and decrease body fat percentage in the body, even in senior citizens.
Cocoa
Cocoa is bioactive-rich and contains many health giving vitamins and minerals.
It provides natural energy and endurance due to its moderate caffeine content and ability to improve oxygen delivery to muscles. It also supports muscle recovery and reduces muscle soreness after exercise.
Cocoa enhances immune function by boosting the production of antibodies and enhancing immune cell activity.
It supports skin health by protecting against UV damage, improving hydration and promoting collagen production.
It enhances mood and cognitive function and alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety by increasing neurotransmitter chemical levels in the brain. It also boosts brain health and may reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Cocoa supports gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and improving digestion. It supports weight management by increasing satiety, reducing appetite and promoting fat metabolism. It also Improves insulin sensitivity and may help regulate blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
It lowers the risk of heart disease, blood clots and stroke by improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
It Promotes dental health by reducing plaque formation and preventing decay.
It may improve respiratory function and reduce symptoms of asthma and bronchitis.
Manuka Honey
Manuka honey is bioactive-rich and contains many health giving vitamins and minerals. It is a quick source of energy and an ideal natural sweetener in pre- or post-workout snacks to enhance athletic performance replenish glycogen stores.
It contains antibacterial compounds methylglyoxal (MGO) and hydrogen peroxide, which inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the digestive tract, potentially reducing the risk of bacterial infections.
It promotes overall gut health, improves digestive function and helps alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as gastritis, acid reflux, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by reducing inflammation, supporting tissue repair and promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Antioxidant compounds in manuka honey such as phenolic acids and flavonoids help neutralize free radicals, supporting immune function, reducing the risk of infections and enhancing overall immune health. These antioxidants may help lower the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
