Nutritional Facts
The superfoods industry is exploding! Our obligation and commitment is to continuously improve our unique process and systems to ensure that we are achieving maximum nutritional values.
To ensure this we engage specialist researchers and food scientists to trial, test and prove our nutrition and superfood facts.
Please see the posts and articles below. We will regularly add things that come to our attention from the Science Daily journal that searches for and compiles research that is relevant to superfoods, health and nutrition.
