Ingredient breakdown: KSM-66 Ashwagandha, Livaux and Actazin
As women it’s important we tune into the unique aspects of our health. With nutrition and hormones closely related, our nutritional needs are extremely unique in comparison to our male counterparts. Our physiological characteristics and hormones play a role in how our bodies process nutrients, store energy and more, but by adding the right ingredients into our diet, we can help give our bodies a boost. We’re breaking down three key ingredients that help to ease bloating and boost digestion.
As women we’re more prone to bloating and water retention than men due to hormonal fluctuations. Eating a diet that is high in fibre and drinking enough water can help to regulate digestion and reduce bloating. Certain foods, such as beans, cruciferous vegetables, and artificial sweeteners, are known to cause bloating and should be consumed in moderation.
Our energy levels are also influenced by hormones, particularly during the menstrual cycle. Which means consuming a diet that is balanced in carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats can help to regulate energy levels and support overall health and well-being.
KSM-66 Ashwagandha, Livaux® and Actazin® are three ingredients that can offer a range of benefits for women's health, all of which have been added into our female-formulated FS-Greens blend. Helping to banish bloating, ease digestion, and boost your brain power, through one convenient daily teaspoon, FS-Greens is your nutritional safety blanket, guaranteeing your body gets the greens it needs, every single day.
