It’s easy for the daily grind to beat us right down to a pulp. The stress, which was once negligible, now takes over your body. But, you can’t afford for that to happen which is why you seek different ways to cope. Some throw themselves into stress eating and other unhealthy eating habits, while others seek more positive pursuits. For Xtend-Life, this means supplementing your diet with Zupafood ELITE, one of their top-of-the-line products. To know if this deserves a spot in your budget, read and see the points we raised.
What is Zupafood Elite all about?
This product is a culmination of 15 months of work which stemmed out of the desire to be proven that it is of great quality should it come under scrutiny. It is marketed to be able to improve health, boost energy levels, support mental clarity, and improve skin and hair health. It also provides a general alkalizing effect on your entire body. An alkaline environment prevents diseases from manifesting.
Just a look at Zupafood ELITE’s list of ingredients shows an atypical lineup which are carefully chosen to deliver what they claim is a general overall health tonic. They went as far as saying that instead of grabbing a cup of coffee or energy drink, Zupafood ELITE is a healthier alternative. It not only perks up the system, it also gives extra nutrients.
What’s in it?
I don’t like the term “superfood” because instead of giving you an accurate picture of what you are getting, it sounds more like a hype or a marketing ploy. However, they call Zupafood ELITE a concentrated superfood in a packet. Looking at the list of ingredients, there are several items which have been touted as superfoods. But I suggest that you take them into more scrutiny instead of just letting strong adjectives easily sway your decision.
One sachet comes with the following:
- Kiwifruit
- Grape Seed Extract
- Red Grape Skin Extract
- Organic Wheat Grass
- Organic Barley Grass
- Organic Chlorella
- Organic Spirulina
- Green Tea Extract
- Aquamin TG Marine Calcium
- Collagen and elastin polypeptides
- Organic medicinal mushrooms
There is a rich amount of information on Xtend-Life’s website about each of these ingredients. With all that superfood label aside, most that are included in the list have been proven by studies for its nutritional benefits. However, what stands out is their use of organic mushrooms. It shows how the brand strives to go beyond the usual in order to deliver a healthier lifestyle.
Much ado about mushrooms
Organic mushrooms are teeming with health benefits due to their high concentration of an antioxidant called L-ergothioneine. It is celebrated for its ability to deeply penetrate into the nucleus of the cells to support a healthy cellular function and maintain energy levels within the cell.
It is commendable that Zupafood ELITE incorporates different kinds of mushrooms in their formula, each with their own nutritional contribution. The company sought the help of organic medicinal mushroom growers in California in an effort to develop a special unique blend of mushrooms for Xtend-Life. This reveals how the company wants to make an effort in developing a product that is unique and versatile. You can find a list of the mushrooms included in their formula on their website.
Collagen
Another ingredient that is also worth highlighting in this product is Collactive. It is a low molecular weight marine collagen and elastin peptide which has the same ratio as the dermis (second layer of the skin). Collactive is known to reinforce skin hydration, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, support lifting and firming in mature skin, and create a protective shield against harsh weather.
Collactive is no synthetic ingredient, rather it stems from the recovery of natural raw materials. It was extracted from the by-products that are generated by activities that are linked to the marine world. This already ticks several boxes on our list because it addresses several points like the ability to provide quality skin care and a manufacturing process that is not harmful to the environment.
Packets vs capsule
Instead of going for the typical capsule form, the company decided to create a health drink in a packet. This is done to accommodate all the necessary nutrients that they intended to include in this particular supplement.
Fortunately, Xtend-Life thinks of the little details. They may reel you in with the string of benefits that the product contains, but they also formulate it so that it is enjoyable to drink. The drink comes in an apple flavor, so you don’t have to hold your breath to get your daily dose of nutrients. If you enjoy it enough, you can have as much as 2-3 packets a day.
Is the price right?
The package that you will get contains 30 packets at US$64.35. This is a reasonable price considering that one glass is much cheaper than your expensive coffees. You not only push caffeine into your system, but a healthy dose of nutrients instead. It not only hits two birds with one stone but several points at a very good price.
If you apply for a membership on their website, you get to enjoy a member’s discount. So, the price for one package of Zupafood ELITE will now be at US$57.92.
Any guarantee?
Yes, Xtend-Life offers a one-year, unconditional money-back guarantee on all of its products. This is actually commendable because most brands only give a 30 or 90-day money back guarantee. A full year does take that offer to a whole new level; it also gives consumers a sense of security when purchasing. However, I should warn everyone to always read the fine print.
Why should you give them your money?
The product holds a lot of promise and they came from a reputable company in the world of supplements. It would not be so bad to try one package to see how it does perk your entire system up. With so many substandard supplements in the market today that focuses more on promises instead of delivering them, Xtend-Life has earned its mark in the industry. Their mark of excellence is enough to encourage any buyer to try.
Is Zupafood ELITE worth a try? I would say yes. Knowing the amount of work that went into research and development on top of the level of quality that the company continuously strive for; you can get your money’s worth. It also doesn’t hurt that the shake itself is enjoyable!
