Well Well Well Inc superfood supplements

I've been interested in taking an Astaxanthin supplement since reading about its potential to help protect the skin from UV damage, as well as to support the health of the eye (particularly the macula). I'm always looking for ways to prevent sun damage, and I do a lot of computer work in my day job. I saw the Well Well Well Inc Krill Oil supplements on www.beingcontent.com and was going to buy some myself when I received a PR email from the brand offering two week trial packets of each of their three supplements.

The Krill supplement comes in small capsules and you take one or two a day. I like that they aren't huge, so they are easy to take. That red colour? It's from the krill oil itself, which is why wild salmon that eat krill turn pink. I know the colour is from the oil, because I poked a capsule with a needle just to see.

The Black Rice Bran and Acai supplements come as powder supplements that you mix with juice, smoothies, porridge or yoghurt. There are some recipes on the Well Well Well Inc website, but I usually chuck the Black Rice Bran in a yoghurt (the fibre helps you to feel full for longer) and the Acai in some juice (I like the way it turns apple juice bright purple.)

It's been a couple of weeks of taking all three daily, and I'll definitely purchase the Krill and Black Rice Bran (this has more anthocyanin antioxidants than the same amount of blueberries, but with less sugar and more vitamin E.)  I like the idea of the Acai, but it doesn't grab me as much as the other two, perhaps because I already regularly drink smoothies with it in.

I've been spending a lot of time staring at spreadsheets over the last couple of weeks with some very long days put in, and I haven't had sore, gritty eyes by the end of the day this week (which I would normally expect to.) I'm also looking, for want of a better phrase, quite well, and I would usually expect to look completely knackered at this time of year.

Supplements are a leap of faith when you begin taking them because you can't see an immediate difference, but I do generally like to take some kind of fish oil supplement and I will stick with this one. I love the idea of supplements that come from a single, traceable natural source.

The Krill Oil is £24 for 60 capsules, the Black Rice Bran is £22 for 125g and the Acai is £20 for 125g. Well Well Well Inc products are available from Content Wellbeing and from the website www.wellwellwellinc.com, which has more information on the products too.
