Simple Reds Phenol Powder

This is something I put in my kefir smoothies every morning. I just started using it this year and what a difference it has made. My energy went through the roof and even my husband and kids started consuming it and they, too, notice a huge change in energy. Red phenol powder is a powdered mix of red berries. Your gut bacteria loves berries and those red pigments keep your skin and heart healthy and have a lot of other benefits too.

Berries have strong anti-inflammatory properties

New research in a nurse's health study (done by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Harvard School of Public Health) was done with 70-year-old women who were found to have reduced cognitive loss when they consumed 1-2 servings of strawberries or blueberries per week.^[1,2] Strawberries are also the fifth-best source of vitamin C and they also help regulate your blood sugar. So, many of my afternoons are filled with strawberries. They give me a lift and they taste delicious.

Berries and your blood sugar

Adding berries to your kefir means you're getting lots of antioxidants and polyphenols which help fight chronic disease, and they give me tons of energy! They're higher in fiber compared to other fruits and they're rich in vitamin C. Berries may also help regulate your blood sugar and insulin levels. Human studies suggest that eating berries may protect cells from high blood sugar levels, help increase insulin sensitivity, and reduce blood sugar and insulin response to high-carb meals.^[3,4]

Berries have huge anti-inflammatory properties

Inflammation is your body's response to infection or injury. However, certain lifestyle choices such as unhealthy food choices and lack of exercise can cause inflammation too. Inflammation is believed to be a contributing factor in diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Berries can help you reduce inflammation and give you sustained energy throughout the day. Inflammation also affects your blood pressure and heart health.

Blueberries contain antioxidant polyphenols called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins from berries may reduce oxidative stress and enhance the function of arteries which lowers the risk of heart disease.^[5,6]
Simple Reds is a robust blend of red fruit powders rich in antioxidants and polyphenols for a natural energy boost with no added sugar.

Berries Feed Your Bacteria

Berries are loaded with soluble fiber and they feed a very important bacteria, bifidobacterium. This is one of the first bacteria we get when we're born and it helps us digest mother's milk while it builds a strong foundation in the gut. Berries feed this important bacteria, and when you have a lot of bifidobacterium it helps to feed all the other strains too. If you have food allergies, chances are you are low in bifido and other bacteria in your gut. I see this all the time - once you add good bacteria back in with cultured foods, the food allergies disappear. Researchers are finding the same thing.
