With a product assortment that might land me an episode on the next season of ‘Hoarders’ or ‘Intervention’, I have yet to address the beauty on the inside. My soul doesn’t need cleansing and my heart is in the right place. It’s everything else that needs some attention. When I heard about The Super Elixir by WelleCo, Elle Macpherson’s recent venture, this beauty crusader joined the New Year’s Resolution bandwagon in an attempt to show that beauty does in fact come from within.
Elle Macpherson has been known forever as ‘The Body’ in the industry and at fifty, she continues to live up to this iconic trademark. After focusing on her own internal health, she partnered with a wellness supplement insider and a nutritional advisor to create The Super Elixir. They launched the product exclusively at Selfridges in London just last year. This all-natural superfood offers some of the most beneficial vitamins, minerals, and Chinese herbs and supports the body on a cellular level fighting stress, fatigue, and premature aging.
What does it do?
With 45 ingredients that support 11 systems within the body, this highest quality powder blend includes acai, goji, kelp, milk thistle, ginseng, spirulina, wheatgrass and other beneficial extracts that would be –to put it mildly– challenging to include in your everyday diet. After a week of daily intake, this powerhouse supplement elevates energy levels, alertness, metabolism, and promotes an overall feeling of well-being. Simply mix two teaspoons of The Super Elixir with water or juice for a refreshing drink anytime but before bed. Its subtle taste works sprinkled over a salad, too.
Freeze leftover berries and bananas (peel and slice them first) and mix with some fresh spinach, coconut water, and a handful of ice cubes for a delicious smoothie.
Smart Swap
Very much on trend, The Super Elixir is vegan, gluten free, and contains no artificial sweeteners. By combining it with a balanced diet and exercise, you will experience even more radical results. So, swap that yogurt for an apple and take a yoga class a few times a week. Because caffeine blocks the body from absorbing powerful nutrients, it is crucial that you enjoy The Super Elixir an hour before or after your morning tea or coffee.
Alkaline
The concept of The Super Elixir is to balance the body’s alkaline levels against the acidity brought on by things we consume on a regular basis such as coffee, wheat, dairy, grains, and alcohol. According to some health experts, balancing the pH of our body results in boosted vitality, circulation, and digestion. Problems like hypertension or weight related issues subside. Worked for me.
Why do I love The Super Elixir?
It simplifies the concept of my daily diet yet adds so many great benefits to the overall effect. After a daily dose of this green greatness, I no longer feel guilty about some other choices I may make during the day. I’m happy with a salad for lunch but when drinks o’clock strikes, truffle fries always win over kale. Imagine that!
Finally available stateside, a one month supply (300 g) of The Super Elixir in its gorgeous ceramic Caddy retails for $135. A Refill option in a resealable bag is $80. Check out Sephora.com, net-a-porter.com, selfridges.com, and welleco.com for additional options, including travel friendly single-use sachets.
