A taste from the tropics! Organic mango is paired with unsweetened shredded coconut for an exotic vacation. I envision majestic ocean waves cascading against a warm, inviting beach while the bright, cheerful sun warms my face. My smile grows bigger with each sip, and my mood naturally becomes happier from the healthy fats. I welcome this daily opportunity to elevate my potential. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
Mango
- often referred to as the “king of fruits”
- impressive nutritional profile improves immunity and digestive health
- packed with polyphenols (antioxidants to protect cells against free radical damage)
- digestive enzymes amylases break down large food molecules for easier absorption (relieves constipation)
- supports a healthy heart by relaxing blood vessels, promoting lower blood pressure levels, and maintaining a healthy pulse
- effective against inflammation and oxidative stress
- antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin support healthy eyes by absorbing excess light in the retina and protecting eyes from harmful blue light
- excellent source of vitamin A
- high in vitamin C, which promotes healthy hair and skin by increasing collagen production (collagen is a protein that gives structure to your skin and hair; collagen gives your skin its bounce and combats sagging and wrinkles)
- mangiferin (a major polyphenol in mango) was found to stop the growth of or destroy various cancer cells, including leukemia and cancer of the colon, lung, prostate, and breast
Coconut
- provides healthy fats to nourish skin and hair
- trains the body to burn fat for energy (medium-chain triglycerides, MCTs, are metabolized differently than other types of fats; the body absorbs MCTs directly from your small intestine and rapidly uses them for energy)
- supports weight loss and helps to reduce belly fat
- stabilizes blood sugar (amino acid arginine aids the function of pancreatic cells, which release the hormone insulin to regulate blood sugar levels)
- contains phenolic compounds (gallic acid, caffeic acid, salicylic acid, and p-coumaric acid) which are antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative damage
- prevents the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, making it less likely to form plaques in arteries that can increase the risk of heart disease
- rich in copper, iron, selenium, protein, and B vitamins
- high in manganese which is essential for bone health and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol
