A super berry boost for busy bods

We all start out with the best of intentions, but too often our busy lifestyles get in the way of healthy eating. In fact, with almost 80% of Britons failing to eat their five-a-day, it’s no wonder we sometimes feel as though our energy levels and immune system are in need of an extra boost.

We know that eating a balanced, wholesome diet gives us that much needed kick start. But when it comes to the healthiest eating habits, research suggests that antioxidant berries should be a mainstay on our shopping list, packing a powerful, vitality-fuelled punch.

With this in mind, new Selenium-ACE plus Vitaberry has been designed to deliver the equivalent natural antioxidants of two portions of fruit in a single one-a-day tablet, safeguarding vitamin and mineral intake and so easing the way to a more balanced daily diet. This advanced combination of antioxidants is based on the existing and effective Selenium-ACE formulation, with a new and key ingredient, polyphenols, to help support the body’s natural defences.

Polyphenols are naturally present in fruits, where they add taste, flavour and colour – and they also have antioxidant properties. Research shows that an adequate intake of antioxidant nutrients from the diet may provide protection against excess free radicals, which have the potential to damage cells and interrupt many body processes, hindering the immune system.

Selenium-ACE Plus Vitaberry provides a quick and convenient way to boost vitality and continually safeguard everyday intake with antioxidants obtained from Grape seed extract Blueberries, Bilberries, Cranberries, Cherries, Raspberry seed extract and Strawberries.

Rita Stoffaneller, nutritionist from Wassen International, comments: “When plants use sunlight to grow, they produce many free radicals and so have to produce strong antioxidants to protect themselves. When we eat these plant compounds we achieve a similar protection, but as our lives become busier it is increasingly difficult to eat our ‘five a day’, and supplementation of these vital nutrients becomes more and more important to boost our intake”.

Each Selenium-ACE plus Vitaberry one-a-day tablet contains the organic essential trace mineral selenium, plus vitamins A, C and E with the added benefit of natural antioxidant polyphenols from fruit, to help maintain a healthy immune system and offer protection against free radicals.

Priced £5.95, Selenium-ACE Plus Vitaberry is available from Waitrose and Morrison's. From October, the product will be available in Boots, Tesco and Holland/Barrett. For more information and further stockist details log on to Wassen.com.
