Our new drink mix is packed with natural source ingredients to provide efficient, balanced nutrition to help maintain health and energy while making the lifestyle changes needed for successful lifelong weight management.

Key Ingredients:

Natural CoQ10: CoQ10 assists in the production of energy by the cells, thereby playing an important role in energy metabolism within the body. It also contributes to the efficient functioning of the immune system and helps maintain heart health.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) plays a role in fat metabolism, acting as a co-factor for energy production. As both water-soluble and a fat-soluble antioxidant, it provides internal cell protection and cell membrane (external) protection against damage caused by harmful free radicals. ALA also impacts on glucose metabolism.

Siberian Ginseng: Siberian Ginseng is considered an ‘adaptogen’ because it helps the body adapt to changing circumstances. The use of this herb dates back about 2000 years and it has been used widely to help maintain optimal stamina, support physical and mental well-being and to maintain feelings of energy and vitality.

Organic Almonds: for many years almonds were considered ‘fattening’. However, studies indicate that those who include nuts, such as almonds, in their diet tend to have lower body mass indexes. Although almonds are high in fat and calories, the protein (about 18%) and fibre content may help you feel fuller for longer and so eating them in moderation when following a restricted diet may aid weight loss.

Almonds, when eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat, may also contribute to heart health by helping to maintain normal cholesterol levels.

Organic Quinoa: Quinoa is a high protein seed that is used as a grain. It is recognised widely as a good source of a complete protein. It also provides a range of other important nutrients such as fibre and slow-releasing carbohydrates that help to maintain blood sugar
