Organic Burst Supplements

As some of you may know its not just skincare I have such strong enthusiasm for but also health and nutrition. I try to eat a well balanced diet and eat organically as possible. If you are looking for the best and most purest organic superfood supplements on the market then look no further than Organic Burst.

Organic Burst are a multi-award winning UK brand of ethical superfood supplements. Organic Burst tick all the boxes for me, they are 100% organic, raw and also affordable. Organic Burst supplements are organically certified by the Soil Association and are free from fillers, GMOs and pesticides.

Organic Burst ingredients are sourced from ethical sources. The ingredients are sourced from producers who reinvest into their local communities, changing the lives of local workers, helping them increase their income and improve their living standards.

Taking Organic Burst supplements offers a fantastic variety of benefits for your health. The supplements are vegan, good for your body and the planet. Organic Burst's philosophy is about being effective, organic, ethical and environment friendly.

Since January 2013 I have been taking all the Organic Burst supplements on almost a daily basis. I have really noticed a difference in the way I feel in the sense that I feel more energetic and more healthy in general. Raw organic superfoods are so important for our health especially if you want to lead a healthy lifestyle. We have all heard the saying 'You are what you eat' and I agree with that statement. Superfoods are extremely nutrient dense natural foods that contain most of the compounds your body needs to stay healthy. Many are renown for being great cancer fighters. I am also a great believer that some superfoods such as the acai berry help to slow down the ageing process as it helps the body to fight free radical damage and aids the immune system to function better.

Personally with such a busy lifestyle I find taking Organic Burst supplements so easy to incorporate into my daily diet whether it's making a quick smoothie or by adding the supplement to water, vegetable or fruit juice.

Below is some information of the supplements from Organic Burst and my thoughts and experience of incorporating them into my daily life.

Acai Berry

Organic Burst capsules contain only 100% organic freeze-dried Acai berry, the purest and most powerful form with no fillers or binders. Acai Berry is renown for having an extremely high antioxidant content. Acai has up to 8 times the amount of antioxidants than blueberries and 10 to 30 times that of red wine. Acai contains also vitamins and minerals such as Iron, Potassium, phosphorus, calcium, Omega 6 & 9, B1, B2, B3, Vitamin C and Vitamin E whilst also containing a high fibre content. It is a true anti ageing superfood. I love that Acai berry protects against premature ageing.

I love the convenience of Organic Burst acai supplements as they are in capsules making it easy to consume. I take 3 capsules daily, 2 in the morning with half a pint of cold bottled water. Sometimes with freshly squeezed lemon juice or Organic Burst's baobab powder. I have to travel to work via public transport and I feel that acai helps to protect my body against free radical damage caused by the pollution. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidants of a product or food. It is recommended that you have 3000 to 5000 ORAC per day. Knowing the ORAC value of certain foods is useful to ensure you are getting enough antioxidants in your diet. Just 3 capsules of Organic Burst acai gives you 1050 ORAC a day. I also take one capsule before bed to help repair any free radical damage that has occurred during the day.
Organic Burst capsules are £18.99 for 90 vegan capsules. If you take 3 a day like I do one tub will give you a months supply. So not bad considering these are raw, organic, anti ageing, highly potent and nutritious. I also think the price of these are very reasonable as compared other non raw and non organic acai capsules from other brands, Organic Burst capsules can be cheaper.

Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass is a very popular superfood. It is one of the most alkalising foods available. Organic Burst Wheatgrass comes in powdered form. Wheatgrass is highly nutrient dense and contains over 90 trace minerals. It is also high in protein, beta-carotene and one of the best sources of chlorophyll.

Wheatgrass is an excellent detox supplement as it helps to neutralise toxins within our cells. Organic Burst Wheatgrass is pure and organic.
I've tried Wheatgrass a few times before buying this and I also noticed just how bad the taste of Wheatgrass is. When I tried Organic Burst Wheatgrass I noticed it was more palatable than drinking Wheatgrass juice. Once you get used to the taste it is actually quite refreshing. If you do not like the taste of Wheatgrass one thing that helped me is to think of the goodness and benefits it is going to provide my body whilst drinking. Also thinking of Wheatgrass as being a medicine will also help. It may not taste nice but it will make you feel good in the long term.
Organic Burst Wheatgrass is gluten free and contains the whole young leaf being more nutritious and helping to cleanse the body. Wheatgrass is also high in dietary fibre, which helps cleanse your digestive tract. Personally two to three times a week I mix 3g of Organic Burst's Wheatgrass with water half an hour after an evening meal. Some powders are difficult to mix but I love the way the Organic Burst's Wheatgrass powder is ultra fine and is so easy to mix with water. Organic Burst Wheatgrass is £6.69 for 60g powder. I purchased mine from Naturisimo.com

Spirulina

Spirulina has been somewhat of a recent discovery for me. Before January, I had never tried Spirulina, I had only heard it being mentioned in the raw food world. Spirulina is actually a blue-green algae that has existed on our planet for 3.6 billion years.

Spirulina is excellent to balance sugar, cleanse the liver and strengthen the heart and nervous system. Spirulina has 60%-70% protein content that is 4 times more absorbable than beef. Organic Burst's Spirulina is grown in pure spring water and without Chilean Nitrate, a controversial mined fertiliser. Organic Burst only uses organic vegetarian fertilisers. This is possibly the reason why the taste of Organic Burst Spirulina is so pure and pleasant. I personally take Spirulina around three times a week. My favourite recipe for Spirulina was actually given to me as a tip from the founder Ekaterina Igumentseva, you will have to try it - simply blend the following in a high speed blender and serve:

• 1 peeled banana
• handful frozen mango pieces
• 1tbsp Organic Burst Spirulina 
• 100ml almond milk
• 100ml apple juice

Ekaterina's recipe is absolutely delicious, highly nutritious and great for any time of the day. This is great for when I am craving snacks it suppresses the cravings and makes me feel very satisfied. Spirulina is great for weight loss taking it 30min to 1 hour before meals helps to promote satiety and prevent overeating. So if you are craving snacks then take some Spirulina instead! Spirulina makes me feel more energised. I feel it works on a very deep level, being very healing and calming which is great to de-stress. It is a truly remarkable superfood and excellent for those on a raw, vegetarian or vegan diet as Spirulina benefits from high quantities of vitamin B12. Another easy way to take it is to is to mix 1 tsp into a glass of water and squeeze in some lemon.
This supplement has so many health benefits so I definitely will be getting some more of Organic Burst Spirulina when I run out.
Organic Burst Spirulina is £10.99 for 100g powder


Maca

Maca is a superfood that I've been taking for a few years now. Maca is a very popular superfood amongst health conscious raw foodists. Maca is a root vegetable which grows at very high altitudes in the Andes mountains of Peru. No other plant can thrive at such high altitudes. Maca tastes similar to horlicks.

Maca is adaptogenic and helps restore balance to the body. It helps to assist the body to adapt to increased or ambiguous stressors. It helps to regulate hormones and improve energy, strength and stamina. it is also known as natures viagra.

Maca is a superfood that contains a massive array of nutrients. It contains high amounts of minerals, enzymes and vitamins and also essential amino acids. Maca also contains vitamin B12 and high levels of calcium. Organic Burst is raw and unprocessed and without any exposure to heat it preserves the nutritional content such as the vitamins and enzymes that are heat sensitive. Unlike many other brands of Maca, Organic Burst's maca powder contains 4 types of Maca varieties that include white, red, black and purple maca. Organic Burst claim that by blending them together, the consumer gets a balance of all the benefits from each variety. This also makes the plants stronger and more nutrient dense. There are so many benefits of incorporating Maca into your diet. Whether you are a man wanting to increase your libido, a woman trying to balance her hormones or whether you are suffering from chronic fatigue, by eating Maca it gives your body strength and promotes self healing. I enjoy taking Maca and do so several times a week. My favourite recipe is one I created. Due to the strong taste of Maca I wanted to disguise the taste and since Maca goes so well with cacao (raw chocolate) I created my Chocolate and Maca Milkshake:

To 750ml of almond milk, add:

• 2 table spoons Organic Burst Maca
• 3 table spoons raw organic cacao (I use detoxyourworld)
• Honey to taste (around a teaspoon)

Blend all ingredients for just under a minute or so in a high speed blender. This recipe has recently featured on Organic Burst's Community page and I've received lots of positive feedback of my recipe.  Organic Burst Maca is £5.99 for 100g I highly recommend you try Maca and see if it works for you.  I purchased mine from Naturisimo.com

Baobab

The Baobab fruit is well known for its high content of vitamin C and comes from Africa. Baobab is an amazing superfood that contains an excellent source of minerals such as potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium. It also has a fantastic antioxidant content and has anti inflammatory properties.

The fruit also contains other essential vitamins, such as vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin B3 (niacin). In addition the above the fruit contributes to the supply of other important dietary nutrients.
Baobab to me when mixed with water tastes like orange juice but without the sweetness. The best way I've found to take it is first thing in the morning along with the acai capsules. 5g of baobab amazingly contents 1000 ORAC so it is amazing for it's antioxidant protection especially when taken with acai. Like the container suggests Baobab makes you feel more alive and gives you a natural energy boost. Baobab also contains lots of beneficial fibre which is great for the digestive system. Baobab is also high in digestive enzymes and prebiotics that enhance the growth of probiotic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Baobab is amazingly anti ageing for your body by helping to reduce the impact of the detrimental effects of the sun, pollution and chemical pollutants which are part of modern life. It also helps to protect cells from oxidative stress. Overall I am deeply impressed with Baobab and I absolutely love all the abundant health benefits it provides. Organic Burst Baobab is £8.29 for 70g powder. I purchased mine from Naturisimo.com
