Since established in 2014, we have strived to create the healthiest meals for you through extensive scientific processes. But, Perhaps you're curious: how do we acquire the nutritional gold in the sea of ingredients and what is healthy exactly? Lucky for us, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has been our north star in this quest. Back in 2006, EFSA came up with a regulation to control the claims made on food products in terms of the healthiness of the products. These claims serve as a bridge between our products and their various health benefits, all carefully backed up by scientific research.
Now, let's talk about our creations. Picture this: a nutritional solution meticulously developed with all 26 essential vitamins and minerals existing harmoniously in a bioavailable form, alongside a hearty dose of protein, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, probiotics to boost your gut health and a notable source of fibre, our products are a reflection of our dedication to crafting nutritious options. And the best part? We've counted – painstakingly, mind you – a grand total of 175 health benefits bestowed upon you by Jimmy Joy.
Within the forthcoming section, you'll encounter a comprehensive compilation of these health benefits, covering a spectrum of bodily functions.
- From optimizing metabolism, digestion, absorption, and synthesis to nurturing the intricacies of the nervous system, cells, thyroid, and blood, each benefit contributes to overall wellness.
- Enhance brain function, fortify mental health, and bolster the immune system while regulating hormones and enhancing fertility and reproduction.
- Bid farewell to fatigue and welcome robust bone, muscle, and connective tissue health.
- Safeguard mucous membranes, dental hygiene, eye, skin, and hair health, all while promoting optimal liver function.
This exhaustive list encapsulates the multifaceted dimensions of human physiology, underscoring the importance of holistic well-being.
You can take your time to explore the benefits or jump straight into the specific nutrient that interests you—it's up to you.
