CURBS FOOD CRAVINGS
Food cravings are often linked to imbalances within our bodies, such as a dip in blood sugar levels, shifting hormone levels, stress, and poor diet. We have all been there, craving chocolate or sweet foods the week before your period is a normal monthly occurrence for most women.
Our main hero ingredient in our Superblend is Glucomannan, a natural plant fibre that slowly expands in your stomach and has been shown in scientific studies to reduce food cravings. By taking the Superblend twice per day you will over time see a reduction in cravings which in turn means you are more likely to stick to a healthy diet and not reach for sugary, unhealthy foods.
Ingredients: Glucomannan (Konjac Root).

SUPPORTS HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS
Healthy blood sugar levels are incredibly important in the maintenance of a healthy body weight and sustained energy levels throughout the day. Many women report suffering the 3pm afternoon slump, reaching for that sugary muffin or strong cup of coffee to get us through the rest of the day. That afternoon dip in energy levels is usually caused by a drop in blood sugars. Swings in blood sugars can sabotage any weight loss attempts because the body cannot burn fat efficiently.
We have included 5 scientifically reviewed ingredients in our Superblend, these ingredients are known to support healthy blood sugar levels.
Ingredients: Glucomannan, Chromium, Cinnamon, Green Tea Extract, Hibiscus sabdariffa.

INCREASED ENERGY LEVELS
We don’t need to tell you that women today are pulled in so many different directions in any given day and just how exhausting that is for most women. Whether it is performing at work, caring for children and family members, looking after a home, maintaining healthy relationships with partners, family, and friends and then maybe if we are lucky trying to juggle a social life as well, as women we seem to be taking on more and more. All this can leave us feeling constantly exhausted and lacking in energy to make it through our busy days.
While we all know how important a healthy diet, exercise regime and getting out into nature is, sometimes this is just not quite enough to really support our required energy levels. Therefore, we have included 6 ingredients in our Superblend to really boost your energy levels so that you can perform at your very best.

INCREASED VITALITY
“It's not the age that counts but the vitality” — Dr. Lucas D Shallua.
As we age many women feel that they lose their ‘vitality’, life stages such as childbirth, hormonal imbalance, peri-menopause and menopause all impact women in so many ways, weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, PMT and stress are just a few reasons why women can feel off kilter and not themselves. We associate vitality with youth, we all felt vitality at some point in our lives and we have all mourned its loss at other times in our life.
Just because we age should not mean we should lose our vitality, a few tweaks to lifestyle such as exercise and healthy diet can really help and so can adding in supplementation to support your lifestyle. We gave so much thought and care into which ingredients we included in our Superblend that would help enhance vitality, and we chose 8 evidence based amazing ingredients to ensure that women who use our Superblend really benefit from it and regain their lost sense of vitality and zest for life.
