It Contains…
Beta-Carotene: Firstly, it preserves digestive health, something which gets disturbed due to natural over-indulging in foods in winters. Plus, it also aids in the process of body detoxification by reducing the inflammation.
Antioxidants: This will be loved by the students and/or nerds. The antioxidants content reduces the oxidative stress which is linked with the decline of cognition. It also has brain anti-ageing properties. It even reverses the damage done to the brain’s cerebral cortex due to a stroke.
Magnesium: Most people have diets which lack in this nutrient. It significantly contributes towards cellular health.
