This is thought to be due to the natural antioxidants found in ashwagandha, which scavenge free radicals to prevent cell damage.If you need a healthy boost that won’t leave you bankrupt (as many of these healthy foods often do), then I would definitely recommend Rheal. I was introduced to Rheal Clean Greens by my sister on a 100mile walk on the SW Coast Path. She made me drink a glass - first thing - every morning before we started getting ready for that day’s walk. I’ve never been greatly overweight, but menopause has made me soft and squidgy all over and caused a very sludgy digestive system. Now, I was humouring my sister by taking the powder initially, but by day two - that stuff started working its magic. Agreed that walking 15-20 miles a day would help with the digestive system also, but that powder cleared me right out (to the point my sister would only walk ahead of me and not behind - if you get my meaning 🤭). We had a good B&B breakfast every morning, then a Rheal Energy bar every lunchtime (with some Haribo) - then a proper B&B dinner every evening. By the end of 8 days, I had lost 7lbs and my digestive system was working like it hadn’t in a long time. Now a total convert, I’ve continued to take the Clean Greens every morning - in a glass of water and it keeps me regular - it just feels like I’m helping things along. One other thing I really like about Rheal, is that they allow you to ‘manage’ your delivery dates - delay a bit if needed, or bring it forward if required. This has helped keep me as a customer without doubt. A combination of all of the hormonal changes above is usually the underlying root cause of most menopausal symptoms, which includes: We’re so sorry to hear about your experience and hope you are feeling better now.

Supporting your nutritional and emotional wellbeing during this process can provide a better bodily environment, so that this hormonal ebb and flow can be experienced as a positive transition. Magnesium: Getting enough magnesium helps to increase bone mineral density, which reduces the risk of fractures and also osteoporosis.

The positive mindset part is certainly true; as I mixed this powder with water I felt like I was doing my body the world of good. Like with any product, you’d need to use Rheal Superfoods for a good while to really notice any results. The Rheal Energy Bars however, which contain 68mg of natural caffeine, from the Brazilian superfood, Guarana, definitely gave me an instant boost. At the end of the eight-week study, participants taking ashwagandha had increased their muscle strength in bench press and leg extension routines, compared to those taking a placebo (10). A little more on Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, and the 'adaptogenic' properties of the ingredient mean just that - they adapt to the needs of each person to promote hormonal balance. As everyone's hormone status is so different, some people will respond differently to the ingredients compared to others. We choose to include Ashwagandha in some of our Blends due to it's incredible benefits, and of course, after extensive scientific research alongside a Doctor in Functional Medicine.

Rheal Superfoods review

I tried a range of products to see what the fuss was about, and to give you the inside scoop on exactly what Rheal is about… Simply mix together all of your ingredients, pop into the fridge and you're done - no fuss and no mess. I would avoid having these in the late afternoon or evening, as the caffeine may keep you awake. They’re called Energy Bars after all, and it’s unlikely you’d want this in the evening unless you have a training session, or if you work late into the night. Like every variety of ashwagandha and all other adaptogens, KSM-66 should be avoided during pregnancy.
