Grass-fed, Grass-finished Beef Liver
Liver is nature’s true multivitamin, being one of the best superfoods available to man (or in this case, woman!). Liver is a lovely source of choline, iron, zinc, folate, vitamin A, B12 and K2. An alternative food that matches or exceeds the nutrient content is yet to be discovered. Due to its nutrient density, a little goes a long way. This little daily serving will contribute to your overall intake of vital nutrients.Â
Kelp
Kelp is one of nature’s richest sources of iodine. Iodine is required by all individuals and is quite often forgotten about, making it a very common deficiency to have. This vital mineral is necessary for normal energy metabolism, as well as normal neurological and cognitive function. It is also required for normal production of thyroid hormones as when thyroid hormone levels are suboptimal, it is common to experience skin and hair changes such as hair loss, energy fluctuations, and changes in bowel habits (just to name a few). As iodine cannot be produced in the body, it must be obtained through the diet, with an increased supply in times of higher demand such as pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding.Â
Camu Camu
Camu camu is an incredible source of vitamin C. There are many camu camu products on the market, but Foraged For You has intentionally sourced the richest vitamin C content available. Vitamin C is vital for optimal immune system function, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Increasing vitamin C intake is recommended during times of higher demand, such as pregnancy and postpartum, when deep immune support and tissue healing is required. In times of highx stress, our adrenal glands become depleted of vitamin C, so repletion with rich food sources is crucial.Â
Fermented Chlorella
Chlorella is a rich source of chlorophyll, iodine, selenium, folate and magnesium, which are necessary for a variety of functions in the body. Selenium, for example, is necessary for the normal utilisation of iodine in the production of thyroid hormones and for the protection from some types of free radical damage, while iodine is necessary for normal energy metabolism. Chlorella is well-known for its immune support and protective capacity from environmental toxins.
Fermented Broccoli
Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable that has been added to enhance fibre, folate, vitamin C, and chlorophyll content. Broccoli is also rich in sulphur, which has substantial effects on supporting the body's natural liver pathways. The vitamin C in broccoli is typically destroyed during cooking due to its sensitivity to heat, however in this product it is kept raw and instead fermented, to enhance the bioavailability of nutrients and ensure the nutritional content is maintained.Â
Fermented Spinach
Spinach is high in nutrients such as folate, iron and magnesium. The spinach in the blend is fermented to ensure the oxalate content is lowered for those that are sensitive. Similarly to broccoli, the fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of the nutrients found in spinach.Â
Fermented Red Lentils
Lentils are not only one of the richest sources of folate, they also assist with the entire fermentation process of the blend. When they are fermented, they are pre-digested by beneficial bacteria which make them much easier to digest and metabolise. Some are surprised at the inclusion of red lentils, but they have proven to be a cherished ingredient due to their iron and folate content, as well as enhancing the ferment.Â
