A Peek Inside Bodē Strong

What do some of those added ingredients do for you? Let us start with maca. The maca root “looks like the love child of a potato and white radish. It grows wild in the frigid ground of the Andes mountains thousands of feet above sea level in Peru. And it has a nutty, slightly butterscotch-y taste. Maca root, which comes from the mustard plant family, is a nutritional powerhouse…People in the Andes have grown maca for thousands of years. They use the root as a food supplement as well as a traditional medicine” for a variety of medical issues. These days, maca is thought to do everything from alleviate stress to boost energy and possibly even boost libido.[1]*
Curcumin is “the main active ingredient in turmeric. Turmeric is native to Southeast Asia, but is popular all over the world. It is perhaps most popular in India, where it is one of the main spices in curry powders. Its flavor is warm and bitter, and it has a striking yellow color. Turmeric has been reported to have many health benefits. Its use as a medicine dates back nearly 4000 years. Over the past few decades, modern medicine has increased research into turmeric’s reputation for healing. Curcumin is at the heart of the research, as it’s the source of many of turmeric’s healthful properties. Curcumin is a discreet bioactive compound and is what gives turmeric its bright color. It was first isolated by scientists around the turn of the 20th century, and its antibacterial properties were first demonstrated in 1949. Subsequent research showed it to have anti-inflammatory properties, anti-oxidant properties, and several other marked benefits.” In Bodē Strong, we made sure to add curcumin to the recipe to support a healthy cardiovascular vascular system because strong comes from the inside.* Best of all, Strong comes in a convenient packet that you can toss in your bag on your way out the door—perfect for optimizing your nutrition on the go!
