Just before I left on a long haul low energy hormone havoc wreaking flight to LA, I was given some Organic Burst Maca Powder (£5.99).
I had never really heard of maca powder but I was told that the Organic Burst range had many health, beauty and lifestyle benefits. Basically it was going to get me through my day.
With no expectation something incredible happened. I used the powder in my morning juice and forgot that it was supposed to give me energy, endurance and balance my hormones. Then I noticed I had no jet lag whatsoever. Was it a fluke or was it the powder? I carried on.
For the couple of days that I didn’t use it, I was falling asleep, drained, back to my usual stressed self. Today I woke up and before even checking my stress inducing in-box I powdered up. I dealt with life better. It’s a small teaspoon of powder every day but it can really change your life.
Now of course I notice that maca is a superhero ingredient often added to juice in juice bars. I love doing it myself. I have become quite addicted to the smell of it, which is part spice, part life, and I like to make sure I’m getting enough of it.
Organic Burst it turns out is an award winning UK super food supplement brand launched in 2012 by people who wanted to make a difference combing sustainable development and helping people feel better in their day to day lives.
They do a full range of life enhancing capsules and powders. I have yet to try baobab, a powder to help digestion and increase energy and immunity. Or the acai berry capsules which are great for the skin and anti-ageing. They also do wheatgrass powder which alkalises the body and cleanses the body of toxins. Alkalising the body is a big deal these days as an alkaline body is a healthy one.
Spirulina tablets and powder help balance sugar levels, nourish the heart and regulate mood and sleeping patterns.
I have not tried any of the others yet, but they are all pure and organic, therefore potent and goodness packed and are ethically sourced and produced with the environment in mind.
You can buy Organic Burst Maca Root Powder at organicbuirst.com or from Coad or Wholefoods priced from £5.99.
