Superfoods

Experts say dozens of easy-to-find ‘superfoods’ can help ward off heart disease, cancer, cholesterol, and more. Superfoods are a special category of foods found in nature. By definition they are calorie sparse and nutrient dense meaning they pack a lot of punch for their weight as far as goodness goes. They are superior sources of anti-oxidants and essential nutrients – nutrients we need but cannot make ourselves (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, trace minerals, and more!).

We carry a wide range of Super Foods from several different companies – here’s a few exciting new additions:

Cinnamon also induces satiety (the feeling of being full) which inhibits over-consumption.
Cinnamon polyphenols have been found to activate our cells’ glucose detection systems, enabling them to support healthy blood glucose.
