Carrots are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, K and C, potassium and antioxidants. Vitamin C and other antioxidants strengthen the immune system and protect the body from infection. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A, essential for maintaining healthy vision.
Ginger, turmeric and black pepper contain compounds such as gingerol, curcumin and piperine, known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
Black pepper improves curcumin absorption by 2,000%, boosting turmeric's benefits.
Hemp hearts are an excellent plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 that supports cardiovascular health by reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure and improving lipid profile.
