She’s known as ‘The Body’, and to most she needs little more introduction than that. She began modelling back in the day as a side job, rather quaintly to pay for her law books, and she’s never looked back. The secrets behind her body, her skin, her hair, even her teeth, have been constantly in demand, and now she’s giving us a little insight into one of them.
Elle has created the Super Elixir. It will cost £98 and is due to launch on 22nd May in Selfridges. It is a powder made up of 45 carefully selected ingredients. The aim of the powder is to alkalise. It contains alkalising super greens, a blend of Chinese herbs and the miatake mushroom, the benefits of which include boosting the immune system, and controlling blood sugar levels. Elle recommends taking 10g of the powder per day, and claims that it contains all the vitamines, minerals and trace elements needed to assist general health.
The Super Elixir is the product of years of development by Elle and Dr Simone Laubscher PhD, who is the Harley Street nutritional doctor she has worked with, specialising in disease prevention. It’s totally adaptable, and can be sprinkled over suitable dishes or mixed into juices and smoothies.
A modern day life is said to make one’s body more acidic, meaning that pressure will be put on the liver and kidneys to rebalance the body. Alkalising your body by carefully selecting what you eat is said to alleviate that pressure so that the body may better absorb the essential nutrients from food and drink, reducing bloating, tiredness and boosting energy. Elle’s new Super Elixir is designed to aid this process and alkalise.
So what’s next for the model turned presenter? We can expect a range of products and tools to aid detoxification, as well as the perfect T-shirt bra. It’s all happening!
