#Cellcare ingredient health benefits

RED BELL PEPPER | IMMUNE-SUPPORTING VITAMIN C BOOST 

Red bell peppers are rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, two potent antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. They support collagen formation for healthy skin and strengthen the immune system, making them a longevity must-have.

PURPLE CABBAGE | GUT DIVERSITY + DETOX SUPPORT

Purple cabbage is loaded with anthocyanins and prebiotic fiber that feed beneficial gut bacteria. It supports detoxification through sulfur compounds and aids in reducing inflammation throughout the digestive tract.

KALE | CHLOROPHYLL-RICH CELLULAR CLEANSER

Kale is a powerful cruciferous green packed with chlorophyll, vitamins K, A, and C, and plant compounds that activate liver detox enzymes. It helps alkalize the body, support hormone balance, and promote glowing skin from within.

CARROTS | EYE & SKIN HEALTH HERO 

Carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A for eye, immune, and skin health. Their natural sweetness pairs beautifully with savory elements, adding a satisfying crunch and bright orange color.

TAHINI | OMEGA-3 & CALCIUM FOR LONGEVITY

Tahini, made from sesame seeds, is abundant in omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and plant sterols that support brain function, bone strength, and heart health. It also contains lignans that naturally help regulate inflammation and hormone balance.
