Bone Health
Our rooibos tea is rich in minerals such as manganese, calcium and zinc which all work together to promote healthy bones and teeth.
Youthful Skin
Our teas are all rich in AHAs or Alpha hydroxy acids. Alpha hydroxy acids work mainly as an exfoliant. They cause the cells on the top layer of the skin to shed allowing the dead skin cells to fall off, making room for regrowth of new skin. AHAs may even stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which are both very important minerals that help keep your skin looking young. These acids may also aid in healing wounds and protecting you from UV rays and sunburns.
Controls & Prevents Diabetes
Rooibos contains a substance called aspalathin that suppresses vascular inflammation caused by high blood sugar levels allowing our tea to help control and prevent type 2 diabetes.
