How is this greens powder different to others?
Morlife Alkalising Greens Acai & Raspberry differs from other green powders in that is has been especially formulated to include alkalising minerals (calcium, magnesium & zinc) which assist in maintaining the acid – base balance within the body. In addition to these minerals and 21 super greens, fruits and vegetables, this product also contains L-glutamine, prebiotics and probiotics which all have a positive impact on health.
If I'm low on energy how can this product help?
Yes - this product can be beneficial if you have low energy levels, as it contains the mineral magnesium which is essential for energy production at a cellular level within the body.
I don't eat many fresh veggies in my daily diet, is this a good substitute?
This product is a supplement and will be beneficial if your diet is low in veggies. However, it should not be used as a sole source of nutrition and does not replace a healthy balanced diet.
There are pre- and probiotics in this product, what does this mean and how will this benefit my body?
Prebiotics are non-digestible fibres found in certain plant foods. They nourish & stimulate the growth of good gut bacteria (gut flora). Probiotics are live microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts) that improve and maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract. Research is showing that there are numerous benefits associated with incorporating both prebiotics and probiotics in our diets. These benefits include improved digestion, a stronger immune system, improved nutrient absorption, stress support, natural detoxification and sustainable weight loss.
