BaoActive adds the next dimension to traditional multi-vitamin/nutrient sources and can replace most of the vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements you take. It can be used daily to maintain/improve your health, during convalescence or by smokers, anaemics, athletes and anorexics. Each scoopful is packed full of baobab, which has one of the highest natural concentrations of key vitamins and nutrients; the olive polyphenol, hydroxytyrosol, proven to be the world’s most potent natural free radical scavenger and the essential fatty acid (EFA), omega 3 that helps our bodies to function normally.
Each of the life-vital ingredients of BaoActive has been chosen to provide you with a superfood that can aid in maintaining and healing your body. The combination of baobab, hytolive and omega 3 means that BaoActive is unusually rich in vitamin C, vitamins B1, B2, B6 and A; minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium; the fatty acid, omega 3 and more protein than red meat, which makes it perfect for vegetarians and vegans. It also contains hydroxytyrosol, an olive-derived polyphenol, which is recognised as the world’s most potent free radical scavenging antioxidant and an impressive anti-inflammatory. Together, they contribute to heart health and preventing degenerative diseases. Hydroxytyrosol is so effective that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and European Commission have given their stamp of approval and stated that “olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids and LDL cholesterol from oxidative stress.”
More specifically, BaoActive offers the following:
- Hydroxytyrosol binds with LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in the blood stream and prevents oxidation and damage to the inner walls of the arteries, allows the blood to flow smoothly, raises the levels of HDL (good cholesterol) and replaces damaged cells. Diabetics can use hydroxytyrosol as it improves insulin sensitivity and regulates blood sugar levels. Because hydroxytyrosol can cross the blood-brain barrier, it can be beneficial for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as well as aiding older people who are at risk of strokes or starting to suffer memory loss.
- Calcium (double that of milk) and phosphorus, which are vital for healthy bones and teeth
- Vitamin C (ten times the antioxidant levels and six times more vitamin C than oranges) to build your immune system, ensure heart health and act as an antioxidant, reducing the signs of ageing
- Iron (higher than red meat), which carries oxygen throughout the body
- Vitamin B2 is required for growth and to maintain your nervous system, skin and eyes.
- Vitamins D, A and B, which are good for skin conditions such as psoriasis
- Potassium (six times more than bananas) that regulates and balances your blood pressure and is essential for brain, nerve and muscle function
- Magnesium (more than spinach), which is important for nerve and muscle function and for bone density and strength
- Zinc to aid in building your immune system
- Fibres, which are fundamental for digestive health and to reduce the risk of cancer in the digestive tract
