Kiwi fruit serve as a nutritional powerhouse. The fresh, tart flavor is balanced with the juicy, berry taste of blackberry leaf. This crisp flavor is an indulgent nourishment for holistic wellbeing. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
Kiwi
- found to prevent blood clotting and manage blood pressure by reducing the amount of fat in the blood (the antioxidant lutein regulates blood pressure)
- can help control symptoms of asthma
- loaded with fiber and enzymes that can effectively break down proteins in the gut (best to consume after a large meal to prevent bloating)
- one of the highest sources of vitamin C (important for cellular function and protecting cells from free radical damage in the body)
- contains antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and improve the ability of the DNA to repair itself (DNA damage is closely linked to long-term cancers such as colon cancer)
Blackberry Leaf
- rich in natural folate (the synthetic form is folic acid which can increase the risk of some types of cancers), vitamin K, A, C, and manganese
- balances hormone levels and reduces anxiety
- contains five essential amino acids and is a decent source of protein
- powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-aging capabilities
- has been shown to kill colon cancer cells
