5 Superfoods for Supporting Energy
Do you ever feel tired the middle of a meeting? Even after your dose of caffeine? Coffee is a quick fix solution but does not always help improve general alertness and stamina throughout the day. What you might need is superfoods!
Superfoods have a high concentration of nutrients, giving you natural energy and improved health.* Here are some superfoods that are great for a daily energy boost.
1. Ginger
Start your day with ginger - one of the most versatile spices that can help keep you energized all day long.* You can simply add Ginger Powder to your morning tea or smoothie. You can also enjoy it on-the-go with our Extra Strength Ginger Capsules. This super spice is known for its digestive health benefits. Improved digestion means less energy is spent on breaking down food, and this energy is instead available to you.
2. Acai
Acai is a superfood loaded with polyphenols and it has excellent antioxidant capabilities. Polyphenols can help regulate cholesterol. Acai Powder can be added to your smoothie, breakfast bowl, yogurt or salad. This superfood can help prevent fatigue and make you feel more engaged.*
3. Maca Powder
Hailing from the Peruvian highlands, where it grows as a root, Maca powder has been used to support energy for centuries. It packs a range of nutrients from proteins, calcium, magnesium, and several vitamins.
The most beautiful thing about maca is that it is an adaptogen, meaning it adapts to the body’s needs and helps maintain balance. It is also an aphrodisiac that can help improve male fertility and also support bone health.* Adding maca powder to your smoothies can naturally enhance your brain function and boost endurance.*
4. Elderberry
Elderberry is a popular choice among athletes. It is packed with antioxidants that can support the immune system, enhance stamina and improve cardiovascular health*. Elderberry can also protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.* However, only a few species of elderberry are edible, and it is best to use in the form of powder.
Check out our recipe where we show you how to make your very own Elderberry Syrup with our Elderberry Powder.
5. Matcha Powder
Matcha is one of those superfoods that will really supercharge you. A cup of matcha tea in the morning will improve your focus because of its high concentration of flavonoids and natural caffeine. Matcha tea also has L-theanine which can support a positive mood.*
