FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE HEALTH BOOSTS AND WHY SHOULD I TAKE THEM?


The Health Boost products (Body & Brain Boost) are distributed by Hauora Health GmbH, based in Basel, Switzerland. 

With the exception of the plant-based Omega 3 in the Brain Boost, all ingredients are from New Zealand. The fruit and veggie powders are from clean, green New Zealand’s best organic farms.

With its Health Boost products, specifically the Body Boost and the Brain Boost, the company has, together with physicians and nutritionists, formulated two exceptional products that will help people enhance their health and lead more vibrant lives.

Both ‘Boosts’ contain some of the best, most natural and well-researched natural ingredients available on the market.

Of course it is important to eat healthy and plenty of fruit and vegetables, but one boost a day will give you the reassurance, that you definitely get your daily requirement of 7-10 servings!

Why not just try it and then you’ll feel why you should take a ‘Boost’ a day!

SHOULD I TAKE THE BODY BOOST OR THE BRAIN BOOST?

Both the Body Boost and Brain Boost contain ingredients, which are good for your body and brain. For example, the super-antioxidant Enzogenol® that supports, brain, heart, eye and skin health.

However, there is a difference.

The Body Boost is geared even more towards keeping your immune system strong, with a mix of greens (wheatgrass, barley grass and broccoli sprouts) and reds (NZ blackcurrant and beetroot) and all your important daily vitamins and minerals, whereas the Brain Boost contains a high dose of those ingredients (Omega 3, B-vitamins, iron, beetroot and NZ blackcurrants), which will help you to better concentrate, focus and perform in business, at school or at sports.

The ingredients in the Brain Boost have also shown to have a positive effect on the 'happiness' hormones dopamine and serotonin, so it should also be helpful in elevating mood and reducing anxiety.

WHERE CAN I BUY THE HEALTH BOOSTS PRODUCTS?

You can buy both the Body Boost and the Brain Boost through www.health-boosts.com.

After ordering, it generally takes 2-4 days (in Switzerland) and 4-7 days (outside of Switzerland) for the product to get to you.

Several naturopaths, nutritionists and sports nutritionists recommend and stock our products.

ALL HEALTH BOOSTS HAVE ENZOGENOL® IN THEM - WHY?

Enzogenol® is one of the world's premium natural health ingredients and is considered to be a super-antioxidant. It is a 100% natural extract from the bark of the New Zealand pine tree (Pinus Radiata).

Award winning and clinically tested Enzogenol® is an exceptionally rich & unique source of polyphenols, including the flavonoid compound OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), taxifolin, catechin, piceatannol and several other flavonoids which greatly promote long term health.

Enzogenol® has been consumed as a food supplement by many thousands of people over the last twenty-five years, both for general health purposes, but also therapeutically. Native Indians have used pine bark as a health booster and medicine since many centuries.

Enzogenol® is produced using pure water extraction only. The process was developed by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and engineers of the University of Canterbury.

ENZO Nutraceuticals Ltd (based in New Zealand) commercialised this discovery and patented the extraction method internationally. This patented process extracts a balanced unique blend of exceptionally potent polyphenols preserving the maximal antioxidant activity.

HOW ARE THE POWDER PRODUCTS MADE?

The blackcurrant, beetroot, wheat grass and barley grass in the body and brain boost have all been organically grown and picked in New Zealand.

Once picked at their perfect ripeness, they went through a gentle freeze drying process to preserve as much of the naturally occurring bioactive nutrients in the finished product as possible.

No additives or preservatives are added, so that you get 100% New Zealand grown blackcurrants, beetroot, wheat-, barley- and broccoli grass.

This means you get the best quality, organically grown and nutritious freeze-dried powders, conveniently packaged in the Body Boost and the Brain Boost.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE THAT THE PRODUCTS ARE BEST QUALITY?

We have gone through a selective process, choosing only the very best suppliers, who are all organic growers and have rigorous testing of their ingredients.

All our ingredients, and every single batch, has gone through detailed laboratory analyses confirming the powders are free from foreign flavours and aromas, that they are free of bacteria, are halal and kosher compliant and GMO free.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE POWDER INGREDIENTS?

Providing our customers with a freeze-dried powder product is of course much more convenient than in a juice or fresh form, but there are further reasons, why this may be the better option.

Especially the ‘green’ grass ingredients are, in their fresh form, prone to E. coli bacteria.

The freeze drying process for the powders means we pick at the optimal time and then remove the moisture, reducing the chance of any contamination. Then still, all batches in their powder form go through rigorous testing for bacteria.

In other words, the freeze dried ingredients in both the Body and Brain Boost are the most convenient and safe way for you to get the goodness and health benefits from nature’s most powerful antioxidants.

DO THESE INGREDIENTS HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT?

All ingredients have been approved as food or food supplements and are considered to be safe. If you are healthy, you should have no problems with any of our Health Boost ingredients.

For anybody taking prescription medication we always recommend to discuss the use of any food supplement with their doctor. Especially people taking anticoagulants (blood thinners) or requiring surgery, should consult their physician, because blackcurrants may slow blood clotting.

Allergic reactions to any of the ingredients in our products are in theory possible, but are rather rare.
