Tonic was recently lucky enough to have the opportunity to collaborate with Nutritional Coach & Superfoods Enthusiast, Christian Petersen, to create a superfood formulation packed with bio-available (highly digestible) nutrition that will cleanse and rebuild the body.
The Tonic Core has been carefully crafted, with hand picked ingredients to help re-mineralise nutrient deficient bodies. By consuming mineral rich foods, such as whole-foods, the body is able to make nutrients bio-available through our enzyme systems, and therefore utalise, breakdown and absorb only the minerals it requires. By giving the body what it needs, cravings for less savory nutrient dense foods will decrease, the body will be better equipped to deal with stress & you will notice increased mental function.
The detox concept has been developed and marketed as a way for people to remediate their grocery sins. This need for detox arises when people at foods that have been displaced from nature - processed foods. Processed foods are not compatible with our bodies. Looking around at civilized people, we can see people surviving on processed foods, however very few are thriving! The Tonic Core is about thriving! Conventional detox programs cause rapid unsustainable, uncomfortable detox reactions in many people; causing stress to our vital organs. The Tonic Core is a dietary upgrade, that naturally assists the body in cleansing the way it should be, minimizing organ stress.
With this nutritional philosophy in mind Tonic worked with Christian & chose three ingredients for the Tonic Core, creating a superfood formulation, that can be utalised on its own, incorporated into your current nutrition plan or used as a delivery system incorporated with other nutrient dense superfoods. The ingredients chosen carefully for the Tonic Core are Raw Cacao, Maca & Mesquite.
Raw Cacao
Cacao is a great source of phytonutrients including aminos, protein, omega-3, calcium, zinc, sulphur, copper, potassium, beta-carotene, chromium and magnesium.
Magnesium is critical for muscle relaxation, circulation, and heart health. It is the most abundant mineral found in the heart. Magnesium helps us to relax, and prevents us from getting overly stressed. Chromium is a mineral that is critical for helping us to regulate our blood sugar. It helps our cells to become more sensitive to insulin. Insulin resistance also known as pre-diabetes is a condition that affects many people living in western countries, whilst Chromium helps us bring insulin levels back into balance, re-sensitizing our cells to insulin. Our bodies can then utilise glucose (blood sugar) as fuel. Without balanced blood sugar, our brain function, muscle function and overall well being is affected. Iron is assists with mineral oxygenation of the blood, coupled with the magnesium and therobromine it acts as a vasodilator (vein relaxant). When veins are relaxed, the body better absorbs nutrients and transports oxygen throughout the body. Raw Cacao is a crucial ingredient of Tonic Core - as it acts as the delivery system & assists in nutrient absorption - assisting with energy production & recovery after training.
Maca
Maca is a key component of Tonic Core. It comes from the Peruvian Andes, and has been eaten as a staple food in this region for thousands of years. Maca is a rich source of protein, minerals, plant sterols and di-indol methane. The adaptogenic properties of Maca are one of the reasons it makes such a great addition to our diet. The various phyto nutrients and alkaloids present are said to help balance our master glands. It is through this balance that we are able to normalise our hormonal function. Having balanced hormones is critical to optimal health because it will help us to build lean muscle mass, maintain our mood, and feel our best. For more information about the individual benefits of Maca please read our earlier post on the benefits of Maca.
Mesquite
Mesquite is dense in Zinc, Calcium, Lystine & is also a source of fibre. By combining the calcium in mesquite with the magnesium in cacao, we are fuelling the body to create strong bones. The calcium is easily utalised by the body, as it is in wholefood form. The combination of calcium & magnesium will also give you a competative edge with strength training as the muscles ability to relax & contract is heightened. Zinc & Lystine assist with immune system function, ensuring the immune system is able to endure the stress placed upon it during strenuous cardiovascular or strength training. Zinc & Lystine also fuel enzymes/muscle building proteins within the body. Lystine also assists with calcium absorption.
The Tonic Core program has been designed to work as a foundation for any lifestyle, allowing you to easily incorporate nutrient dense wholefoods in an exciting and fun way. Start to feel great, increase your energy, mental & physical well-being with Tonic Core.
