Elizabeth Clarke from WelleCo tells us about the benefits of taking green powder and importance of staying alkaline
Why does the body need to stay alkaline?
Elizabeth Clarke (EC) When the body is nourished and maintains a healthy pH balance, it assists with lowering acidity in the body that can lead to inflammation, low energy, weight gain and accelerated ageing of the cells.
What are the benefits of taking a green powder like WelleCo's Super Elixir Greens?
EC When our nutritional doctors were formulating the Super Elixir Greens, they looked at the average imbalances of an adult and thought about what specific ingredients could be included to support and balance all 11 systems.
Some of the key ingredients are horsetail and omega-3 for hair, skin and nails, probiotics and prebiotics to support the entire digestive system, and shiitake and maitake mushrooms that when combined, are great for immune function. Our considered approach has made the Super Elixir the ultimate multivitamin.

How does the Super Elixir Greens standout?
EC Our elixirs use premium plant-based nutrients. When organs are nourished with absorbable bio-live nutrients, the body recognises them as food and absorbs them at a cellular level with a high efficacy. Our nutritional doctors worked to find the right blend of premium plant-based nutrients that could work together to address acidity in the body, maintain a healthy pH range, and nourish the body right down to the mitochondria.
What are the daily protein needs for the average adult?
EC Protein forms the building blocks of the human body and unlike fat, protein is not stored and must be consumed regularly for optimal body function—ideally, 10-20 per cent of our daily intake should come from protein. It benefits muscles, tissue repair and growth, supports a healthy metabolism and promotes feeling full for longer.
