Reducing Waste by Reusing Food: The Story Behind Upcycled Fibers

    September 27, 2023

    In recent years, sustainability and responsible sourcing have become essential considerations for consumers. With a growing emphasis on eco-friendly practices, companies are finding innovative ways to repurpose valuable byproducts to reduce waste.

     

    Sustainability is of utmost importance at Nature’s Sunshine. To share nature’s power, we have to preserve it. By caring for the planet we protect the mutually beneficial relationship between plants and people. At Nature’s Sunshine, our solar powered facilities and smarter packaging have greatly reduced our carbon footprint. Concurrently we are working with suppliers who share our love of nature; they are providing upcycled (repurposed) fruit fibers that have many nutritional benefits.

     

    Harnessing the Power of Fruit Fibers


    Power Greens incorporates upcycled fruit fibers derived from apples, carrots, blueberries, and cranberries. These fibers come from the remnants of these fruits after juicing and other food production methods, resulting in a versatile and sustainable resource. Rather than discarding these byproducts, we’ve found a way to give them new life, providing an eco-friendly source of fiber and nutrients.

     

    Nutrient-Dense Whole Food Fiber


    The fruit fibers used in Power Greens turn into a blend of soluble and insoluble fiber powder with high nutrient density. This powder retains the nutrients naturally present in the fruits and offers a concentrated source of whole food fiber. By incorporating this into your diet, you can enjoy the benefits of a range of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in the fruits.

    Polyphenols for Optimal Health


    One of the remarkable features of the upcycled fiber in Power Greens is the presence of over 90 polyphenols and other water insoluble nutrients within the leftover skin, seeds and pulp. Polyphenols are a type of phytonutrient that have been associated with numerous health benefits, including antioxidant protection.

     

    Promoting Gut Health and Microbial Diversity


    Our bodies cannot break down fiber directly, but our gut bacteria can. This unique characteristic of fiber allows the release of essential nutrients during digestion. Power Greens acts as an ideal food source for the friendly bacteria in the gut, nourishing them and increasing microbial diversity. In addition, insoluble fiber helps bulk stool, creating softer, more regular bowel movements. By promoting a healthy gut microbiome, Power Greens contributes to improved digestion, enhanced nutrient absorption, and overall gut health.

     

    A Holistic Approach to Weight Management


    Power Greens’ whole food fiber content and ability to support a healthy gut microbiome make it an excellent addition to a holistic weight management routine. The sustained release of nutrients and the promotion of a diverse microbial ecosystem can contribute to satiety, balanced blood sugar levels, and improved metabolism.

     

    With its nutrient density, polyphenol content, and positive impact on gut health and weight management, it’s no wonder Power Greens makes an ideal daily supplement. Add in the sustainability of it all, you get an all-in-one sidekick for a healthy and conscious lifestyle.
