#CELLCARE INGREDIENT HEALTH BENEFITS
GREEN LENTILS | PLANT-BASED PROTEIN & FIBER POWERHOUSE
Green lentils are packed with plant protein, iron, and folate—key nutrients for cellular repair and longevity. Their high fiber content supports gut health and sustained energy by stabilizing blood sugar levels. Lentils are also rich in polyphenols that fight inflammation and oxidative stress.
TAHINI | CREAMY CALCIUM-RICH SEED BUTTER
Tahini, made from ground sesame seeds, is an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It promotes strong bones, supports hormone balance, and provides antioxidant protection. The creamy texture and subtle nutty flavor make it the perfect base for nutrient-dense sauces.
HEMP SEEDS | COMPLETE PLANT PROTEIN WITH OMEGA-3
Hemp seeds are one of nature’s best sources of complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. They’re also rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, supporting heart, brain, and skin health. Hemp’s gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) helps reduce inflammation and boost cellular regeneration.
ROASTED VEGETABLES | COLORFUL PHYTONUTRIENT BOOST
Adding a rainbow of vegetables—such as beets, carrots, and broccoli—ensures a variety of antioxidants and plant compounds that protect against cellular aging. Each color offers a unique longevity benefit, from carotenoids for eye health to anthocyanins for brain protection.
