8 Symptoms Of Magnesium Deficiency
Do any of these symptoms affect you? Are you under a lot of stress? If the answer is yes, chances are you’re depleted in magnesium. In fact, it’s estimated that 80% of the U.S. population is deficient in this incredibly important mineral.
Magnesium works in partnership with calcium. Calcium contracts muscles and magnesium (Mg) relaxes them – that’s why it’s known as nature’s tranquiliser and can help in the following ways:

- Relaxes muscles to reduce cramps and pain (e.g. leg cramps and headaches). In the heart, this...

The Effects of Coffee vs Matcha
Drinking coffee gives you an incredibly uplifting buzz. Buuut… is it worth the side effects? No way! Not when you can have Matcha instead.

We are in love with both of these powerful super-greens. If you want clearer skin and a happy tummy, they seriously work wonders. But let’s get down to which one would work best for you and why:
Detoxification
Chlorella is proven to grab toxins in the body and help eliminate them. It supports our own detoxification organs in dealing with alcohol, coffee, pesticides in food, pollution and even excess hormones.
#Tip: If you suffer from an oestrogen-dominant condition like endometriosis, helping the liver and bowel clear excess oestrogen is very helpful.

Not All Chlorella Is Made Equal
This is such an important myth to bust. Put simply, contaminated Chlorella would do more harm than good for your body, wasting your valuable time, energy and money.⠀
Chlorella is known to draw toxins from the body – grabbing them and helping your system eliminate them via the bowel. So, it makes sense that the same amazing algae absorbs all toxins, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides from the environment where it is grown!
This is why you have to be ultra-careful to choose a product that is grown in a pure environment, far from industry and non-organic farming....
