Britts, Raw Organic Wheatgrass Juice, £52.00 (30 × 1 fl oz/28 mL shots)
I’ve often heard people say that their hair looks glossier and their skin is clearer after taking wheatgrass juice. Wheatgrass juice is also excellent for the immune system, hair, skin, vision and red blood cell development.
It’s hard to grow, however, so try this 100% Raw Organic Wheatgrass Juice, which arrives frozen in handy pouches to pop straight into the blender. Britt’s also offers express shipping to the US via FedEx (minimum order of 90 shots for $231), with guaranteed frozen delivery in two to three days.
It helps to boost your immune system with its high nutritional content, containing vitamins A, B5, B12 and E, plus high levels of chlorophyll. It’s said to reduce tiredness and fatigue and to improve energy levels.
BOOSTOLOGY
Blue Lapis & Hamsa Diffuser Bracelet with Essential Oil, £32 (about $40)
Boostology offers a unique range of vegan and sustainable gift ideas, from candles, tealight holders and potpourri with essential oils to jewelry.
I love this unique bracelet made from natural lava and lapis lazuli stone. It has a 14- karat gold-plated hamsa charm with 14-karat gold-filled accent beads and includes a 2-mL bottle of pure essential oil blend with application wand.
Simply dab essential oil onto the lava stones to relax, and while you’re doing so, you can definitely check the sustainability box, too—Boostology plants a tree for every purchase.
They’ve teamed up with Ecologi to work on reforestation projects in the UK and around the world.
Honey Heaven, Organic Propolis Extract High Potency, £10 (1 fl oz/30 mL)
Honey Heaven’s propolis tincture is a high-potency organic product containing 50 percent propolis. Propolis is rich in the antioxidants known as flavonoids and has long been used to treat a variety of health problems naturally. It offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and regenerating effects that may help heal sore throats, gingivitis, colds, mouth ulcers, hay fever and allergies, besides boosting the immune system.
Recommended use: 10–15 drops during the day, dispersed in honey or water or taken directly by mouth.
Aduna, Super-Cacao Powder, $12.99/£9.99 (9.6 oz/275 g)
US: amazon.com UK: aduna.com
Health food brand Aduna’s high-flavanol cacao powder is sourced from Ghana and contains over 500 mg flavanols per 20-g serving—it‘s the only cacao powder in the UK to carry an EFSA-approved health claim for cardiovascular health, thanks to its high flavanol content. A study carried out at Harvard University looked at the impact of cacao flavanols and found that consuming 500 mg daily has a beneficial impact on cardiovascular health.1
You can blend Super-Cacao Powder into a milkshake or hot chocolate, stir it into yogurt or oats, and use it as an alternative to cocoa in baking recipes. You can even create your own healthy chocolates.
Rhythm of beauty , After Glow Body Lotion with blackseed oil, £45.00 (6.8 fl oz/200 mL)
If you have had a day of sunshine, try this gorgeous seasonal body lotion from Rhythm of Beauty. After Glow body lotion is handcrafted using organic extracts of shea butter, cocoa seed butter and blackseed oil for its anti-inflammatory purposes, great for the repair of sun damage and blemished skin. It’s easily absorbed and perfect for sun-exposed skin.
Sleep, Advanced Collagen Formula, £39.99 (about $49; 28 servings)
Sleep by Pura Collagen is a supplement to be taken in the evening that will calm and relax you so that the collagen can work through the night.
Combining bioactive collagen peptides with 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan, the chemical precursor to serotonin), magnesium and other amino acids and minerals, this is like beauty sleep in a mug. Sip luxurious triple chocolate and salted caramel while repairing your body from aches, pains and the demands of daily tasks.
Taking collagen at night allows for a number of natural restorative processes in the body to activate. While you unwind from your busy day, the collagen peptides are activating the body’s natural collagen production, promoting healthier hair, skin, nails and joints.
