🍓 Impressive health benefits of berries
Berries are amongst the healthiest foods on Earth. They have many nutritional benefits that can help with many health conditions, such as regulating high blood pressure and urinary tract infections, promoting normal blood clotting, and healthy bones, thus preventing bone fractures.
These powerhouses are great since they have a low glycemic index, reduce inflammation, and have been found to help as blood thinners, aiding with heavy menstrual bleeding and colon cancer, boosting our immune system and digestive tract health since they add insoluble fiber to a healthy diet.

Benefits of berries for hair
Berries have many beneficial antioxidants and vitamins, such as vitamin C, promoting hair growth. Antioxidants can help nourish hair follicles and protect against damage from harmful free radicals, and Vitamin C is amongst the easier to find and most powerful!
Benefits of berries for skin
All the berries may help reduce skin wrinkling, as their antioxidants help control free radicals, which is a leading cause of skin damage.
Various studies suggest that berries may protect skin by blocking the production of enzymes that break down collagen in the skin that has been damaged by excessive sun exposure.
Collagen is a protein that constitutes an essential part of our skin’s structure. Collagen allows our skin to stretch. Conversely, our bodies develop wrinkles when collagen is damaged.

We are always looking for ways to improve our products and services. One of the things we've found is that some people find it difficult to get enough protein in their diet. We're currently exploring different options but if there's anything specific you'd like us to explore please let us know.
