Female Superfood Blend Health Supplement
After personally struggling with anxiety, excessive bloating, bad PMS symptoms, low mood, stomach discomfort, brain fog, unbalanced hormones, and being around those going through both the perimenopause & menopause or fertility issues, I searched the market for something that would support our bodies and reduce these symptoms naturally. I noticed there was something missing and began the journey of creating a supplement that would make a real difference to women of all ages.
What is it?
A plant based powder blend female health supplement, supporting hormones & health. With all of the above issues in mind, it is made up of 7 ingredients each carefully chosen for various reasons. Coenzyme Q10 was added to support egg health and provide fertility benefits as well as its preventative properties around cancer and other diseases. Ashwagandha helps the body manage stress better, lowering cortisol levels and reducing anxiety. The Shatavari Root naturally balances out oestrogen levels helping imbalanced hormones, and also reducing anxiety. Baobab Powder was added to improve digestive health and for immune support, along with its skin health benefits. Hibiscus powder is full of antioxidant properties including the ability to lower neuroinflammation, promoting brain health. Cherry powder is another key ingredient added for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. And finally, the Maca Root Powder is important for hormone balance, lowering menopause and PMS symptoms and reducing fatigue.

The Benefits:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
A powerful antioxidant found in almost every cell in the body. It fights damaging particles in the body known as free radicals, which damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. The amount of CoQ10 found in food is much lower than that found in supplements. CoQ10 is a molecule produced in the body and aids mitochondria during energy production. Your cells use it for growth and maintenance. Studies have shown that it may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. It can also help support egg quality as you age and doesn’t just help older women. CoQ10 has also been shown to improve egg and embryo quality, improving pregnancy rates in younger women as well. A woman’s eggs are cells and the mitochondria are responsible for energy production within the cell. The human egg contains more mitochondria than any other cell.
Cherry Powder
Increased oxidative stress contributes to the development and progression of several human chronic inflammatory diseases. Cherries are a rich source of polyphenols and vitamin C, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Their antioxidants promote brain health, reducing susceptibility to degenerative conditions as we age. Being a natural source of melatonin, cherries have the potential to improve sleep efficiency. In addition to helping aid recovery, cherries can support athletic performance. Research shows that they may enhance exercise performance due to its low glycemic index, as well as having blood flow enhancing effects.

With many health benefits for women, not just for menopausal symptoms but other issues linked to hormones.
Ashwagandha Extract KSM-66
An adaptogen, (plant compound) that can help the body manage stress. They work by affecting certain body tissues and organs to reduce stress & fatigue. They restore the body’s natural balance, especially when under pressure. Research shows adaptogens can combat fatigue, enhance mental performance, ease depression, anxiety and support hormonal imbalances that affect the nervous system. When you face a physical or mental stressor, your body goes through a process known as general adaptation syndrome: alarm, resistance & exhaustion. Adaptogens help you stay in the resistance phase longer, via a stimulating effect that holds off the exhaustion. When stressed, your adrenal gland releases the stress hormone cortisol, which gives you the energy to tackle an emergency. Frequent releases of high levels of cortisol are not helpful, leading to cortisol dysfunction, which can trigger widespread inflammation and pain. The benefits of Ashwagandha include; stress reduction, fatigue, concentration, poor memory, trouble sleeping, frequent illness, anxiety, low endurance, joint pain and neurological conditions.
Hibiscus Powder
Hibiscus provides the body with many nutrients, such as calcium, iron, vitamin B2, and moderate amounts of antioxidants such as, vitamin C, and protection against damage from oxidation of free radicals. It is believed that antioxidants may reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by reducing oxidation of harmful cholesterol in the body. Hibiscus seeds and their extracts offer many benefits to the human body. Hibiscus is rich in protein, and some amino acids such as lysine, arginine, and leucine, phenylalanine and glutamic acid. The extracts of the seeds of the hibiscus plant have an antioxidant effect, and this effect increases when the antioxidants in the extracts are bound to other antioxidants.

It is believed to have anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties and medicinal benefits. Including improved digestive health, immune system, general hydration and skin health.

The pulp of the baobab fruit contains vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, carbohydrates, fibre, potassium, protein and lipids. The seeds contain phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, sodium, iron, manganese, lysine, thiamine and calcium. Vitamin C levels are said to be 10 times that of oranges.

Various minerals are present abundantly in Shatavari roots, they include; zinc, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and potassium. Shatavari also contains vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin C.
