5 Ingredients That are Good for Your Health and Skin

When it comes to the food we eat, the ingredients used are the key to a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Apart from the popular superfoods like acai berries, avocado and kale, there are many other ingredients packed with nutrients that are beneficial for you. 

Founded by a team of scientists and botanic health activists that discovered the healing properties of plants in the rainforest, Kinohimitsu focuses on using only natural ingredients, with no added flavouring, chemicals or preservatives. These natural plant-extracted ingredients are incorporated into their wide range of beauty, detox and health products to improve overall health and achieve a youthful, glowing skin.

From herbs and spices to exotic fruits, here are five ingredients that are used in Kinohimitsu’s products that can boost your well-being.

Native to South America, camu camu is a sour berry that is dark red in colour, similar to cherry. This small fruit contains potassium, iron, calcium and as much as 30 times more Vitamin C than an orange. It is powerful in combating pigmentation, supporting healthy liver and have healing properties while also providing immunity boosting functions.

Known as green caviar due to its resemblance to caviar, sea grapes are actually a type of edible seaweed that grow on the seabed. They are usually eaten raw and can be added to soups, rice and salads. Packed with calcium, potassium and essential fatty acids, green caviar is said to be able to promote skin health and delay skin ageing.

To experience the benefits of green caviar for yourself, try Kinohimitsu’s Green Caviar. Combining Japanese-sourced green caviar extract with marine collagen and the benefits of Vitamin C, this collagen drink provides an all-round glow to the skin by enhancing skin elasticity and plumpness while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Aside from its refreshing taste and aroma, peppermint has multiple health benefits. While it is more commonly known to help with indigestion and reduce bloating, peppermint can also help relieve tension headaches and migraines. So before you reach out to the medicine cupboard the next time you have a headache, try using natural remedies that include peppermint to ease your discomfort instead.

Peppermint leaves are often brewed as a tea and are one of the key ingredients in Kinohimitsu’s Detox Tea. Soothing and refreshing, this caffeine-free beverage can help to rejuvenate the body and reduce fatigue – perfect for those with a hectic lifestyle.

While perilla leaves are commonly used in Asian dishes, perilla seeds are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory in nature. An amazing thing about the perilla seed is the antioxidant property it contains and its ability to help reduce cell inflammation and increase cell repair. This in turn enhances the ability for cells to better absorb nutrients.

Specially formulated to restore youthfulness and radiance in mature skin, the Collagen Diamond drink uses perilla seeds extract and collagen peptide to boost collagen synthesis and absorption while repairing damaged collagen fibres. This helps to reduce signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and dryness while maintaining resilience of the skin.

Turmeric is no stranger to many and is the spice that gives curry its distinct yellow colour. It also contains an active ingredient called curcumin, which is known for its health benefits. Packed with anti-inflammatory properties, curcumin is a natural remedy that can be taken to reduce inflammation of the body. Turmeric extract also assists the liver in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins more efficiently. 

To keep your liver in tip-top condition, Be Liva uses turmeric extract with cordyceps and schisandra berry to optimise liver functions and aid in detoxification. It is also the perfect anti-hangover drink – simply take 2 sachets before your drinking session.
