Whether you eat out or in, fruits and vegetables are the most important staples in a healthy diet.  Today, supermarkets and natural stores feature an abundant harvest of nutrient-rich and exotic produce to please your palette with Mother Nature’s most delectable ingredients.

Star Fruit is one of nature’s most attractive fruits.  Grown in Thailand, Florida, southeast Asia, Australia, South America and Hawaii, you’ll find they are readily available throughout the winter months.  Star fruit has a mild sweetness and are an excellent source of Vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants and flavanoids. With only 30 calories per fruit, they are a healthy addition to salads, stir fry and fruit dishes and great for individuals who want to lose weight.

Black Currants possess a flavor all their own, uniquely sweet with a touch of sharpness, they are an exciting addition to many dishes and recipes.  Grown naturally in Europe and Asia, black currants are bursting with antioxidants and vitamins, particularly Vitamin C.  Their sweet surprise resides within several rare nutrients they hold including GLA  (Gamma Linoleic Acid) which is a very rare omega-6 essential fatty acid; and MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) which is considered therapeutic for the treatment of depression. 

There’s no wonder why the experts at e’co by elements have implemented black currants in vitaLIFT’s powerful formula featuring 39 vitamins, nutrients, immunity boosters and antioxidants.
