Turning 40 this year, I decided I better start taking care of myself. One of the goals is to try to eat better. Not by a bunch of supplements and vitamins to mimic what a good diet needs, but by getting the vitamins and minerals through real food. By researching all the things I need to take to help things like brain function, antioxidants, anti-aging, regularity, cardiovascular health, blood sugar stability, I found a “superfood” that met all my nutritional needs.
The product is called Natraburst and is brought to you by the creators of Herbalife. One serving contains more than 6 servings of fruits and vegetables. It is not a supplement as it is made from raw foods. Contains 50 calories per serving, only 3 grams of carbohydrates, and zero sugar. I was a bit skeptical at first, until I did my homework on its content. This is what it contains and what are the benefits of each ingredient.
Brown Rice Protein: Good source of B vitamins and fiber. For those who are lactose intolerant, this is a good whey protein replacement.
Flax – There are MANY benefits to consuming flax. Fiber, helps stabilize blood sugar due to the Omega 3 content, helps fight high cholesterol in triglycerides. Contains Lignans. Lignans are a cancer-fighting compound and flax has more than 800 times the amount of any other plant food tested. It is an anti-inflammatory and reduces inflammation by up to 30%.

I couldn’t believe all the great nutrients that are in this product. If you were to buy a 30-day supply of all of these items, it would far exceed the cost of Natraburst. I use it in a smoothie in the morning, and if I don’t get home from work until late, I have another smoothie for dinner. That way I know I’m getting what my body needs. The two things I’ve noticed since using Natraburst is that I have a lot more energy and the aches and pops I had in my joints have all but disappeared. My mom and dad started this too and have had the same results. Give it a try for yourself and see what Natraburst can do for you.
