Health is a common concern in our society today, especially after emerging from the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic certainly did its part to create a renewed awareness on the importance of wellness and not taking one’s health for granted. While the WHO (World Health Organisation) has not declared the pandemic to be officially over, many countries around the world have already ushered in an endemic phase where living with new and old viruses have become part of our daily lives.
In light of the ever-growing concern for keeping well, I was thrilled to receive a gift basket of Seaforest’s supplements and tea in beautiful eco-friendly packaging. Their pamphlets which are printed with recycle-friendly soy-based ink, details their range of wellness products that consists of 100 per cent natural quality ingredients, sourced from all over the world and produced in Malaysia. Approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Health, the products have no excipients, no fillers, no synthetic chemicals, and are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). Sustainably sourced, gluten-free and vegan, I was glad to discover that they were made to be consumed by anyone keen on organic wellness supplements that could offer clinically proven benefits for everyday health.
The Seaforest range of health products combine science and traditional medicine to create premium, natural, plant-based supplements that have been shown by peer reviewed scientific journals to nourish the mind and body.
“Choosing the right supplement takes a lot of work and research. So we decided to cut through the noise to create a range that’s easy, environmentally-friendly and free from all the no-nos. Seaforest is our way of saying nature is the best medicine—from our 100% natural ingredients down to our sustainable packaging,” said Chua Gee Hou, Co-Founder of Seaforest.
The Seaforest Range consists of two bottled supplements namely the Organic Mushroom Complex and Organic Golden Turmeric which come in organic pullulan capsules that are certified vegan and non-GMO, while the Inner Bloom and Sweet Spot Herbal Tea Blends are made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper and printed with soy-based ink.
The Organic Mushroom Complex is a bottled supplement that contains medicinal mushrooms such as turkey tail, maitake, reishi, shiitake and chaga, as mushrooms play a pivotal role in Traditional Chinese Medicine to help strengthen the immune system. Other benefits include strengthening respiratory health, boosts circulation and support brain health. Seaforest utilises fruiting bodies over mycelium extract, as studies have shown that fruiting bodies offer higher concentration of beta-glucans that have anti-tumour and anti-osteoporotic properties.
The Organic Golden Turmeric is made with a highly bioavailable form of curcumin in a completely natural turmeric matrix, harnessing the effects of over 200 concentrated turmeric compounds. Turmeric is known in Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties and improves gastrointestinal, respiratory and skin health. It is also an antioxidant that supports joint health and promotes recovery from strenuous activity or exercise.
Inner Bloom Tea is a natural blend of chrysanthemum, senna and Garcinia Cambogia extract, a tropical fruit native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. These carefully selected herbs from both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, work together to support the body’s natural detoxification and digestive processes as well as promote healthy weight management. This floral tea blend has a mildly sweet taste, with notes of honey for a refreshing and comforting drink before bedtime.
Sweet Spot Tea is a herbal blend made with Yerba Mate leaves, chrysanthemum, and bitter melon extract. Mate is a traditional South American beverage that has been long consumed for providing greater energy and sharper mental focus, among others, while bitter melon has been shown to regulate blood sugar levels and increase the metabolism of glucose in the body. This is a strong, earthy blend that supports healthy blood sugar levels, improves metabolism and general well-being, perfect for after meals.
