REDD Remedies MenoWise
The heavy lifting here is done by the branded ingredient known as EstroG-100, which is a combination of three Korean botanicals.

In fact, 10 of 11 symptoms were radically reduced with Estro-G 100: The Kupperman menopause index score dropped from 29.5 to 11.3 in the Estro-G 100 group, compared to 29.2 to 23.7 in the placebo group. The addition of the Ayurvedic adaptogen shatavari rounds out the formula.

Alec's Ice Cream Palm Springs Banana Chocolate Date Shake
Regenerative sourcing may be intuitive in concept and complex in certification, but this treat from Alec’s Ice Cream—made with gut-friendly A2 dairy—defies that complexity in its flavor and taste experience. The balance between the banana-and-date-sweetness against the touch of bitter in the chocolate chips made us forget about its Regenerative Organic Certified seal, but only for a few spoonfuls. Regenerative sourcing is too important to ignore, even when you’re reaching for the spoon. That an ROC claim can be delivered in something so indulgent is important because it washes away the expectations consumers may have that they need to give up something good to support something that is good for the supply chain. In the case of Alec’s Ice Cream and its meticulous regenerative sourcing—certified by Land to Market and the Regenerative Organic Alliance—there is no need to surrender taste in service of environmental responsibility.
