PREMIUM GRADE INGREDIENTS

PREMIUM GRADE INGREDIENTS our latest range of products in the Hellenia catalogue are a variety of single ingredient powders, packed in a handy resealable pouch. Raw ingredients in their natural state, no additions, no fuss!

Initially launching with 3 powders NMN, Resveratrol and Spirulina we have now expanded the range to include L-Lysine, L-Glycine, L-Proline and Vitamin C Ascorbic acid powder.

Our Ascorbic acid powder is a convenient way to get higher doses of vitamin C into your diet daily and support the immune system over the winter. 


If you are looking for a health and energy boost then you might be particularly interested in trying our Spirulina powder.

First used by the Aztecs as an endurance-booster, it is a true superfood! Spirulina is often described as a type of blue-green algae that grows in both fresh and salt water. It is extremely nutrient dense and is known for containing a powerful plant-based protein called phycocyanin. As well as being a potent source of nutrients, spirulina is a fantastic antioxidant, hailed for its ability to protect against free radical damage from oxidative stress. It has also been studied for its anti-inflammatory effects.

An excellent source of vegan protein containing essential amino acids, it also contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium; and because it is a low-calorie food, containing a lot of nutrition in a small amount of powder, introducing spirulina to the diet may help people to lose weight without sacrificing good nutrition.

With a slightly bitter taste people often mix spirulina with yogurts, juices and smoothies. 3g is generally the daily recommended minimum amount.

Need some inspiration? Try some of the quick recipes below:

 

Fruit smoothie:

Quick and easy.

Combine 1 frozen banana, 1 frozen mango, 1 peeled orange, 200ml plant milk (e.g. almond, or oat), 5g spirulina powder. Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth, then enjoy!

Combine spirulina with sea salt and cayenne pepper or smoked paprika. Dust over your air-popped popcorn. Shake well to evenly coat the popcorn and enjoy.
