The Newest Super Powders Have Super Powers

The newest craze for adults? Mother’s milk. Colostrum, the high fat, creamy prequel to breast milk from mammals, is beloved for its dense nutrient content and immunity powers (which is why pediatricians urge mothers to breastfeed). This new wellness brand harvest’s colostrum from grass-fed dairy cows (after the baby calves get their share, of course), that’s meant to be frothed into smoothies or coffee. Sweetened with organic monk fruit and vanilla, this delicious powder will support immunity, gut health, and hair and skin.

Wellness experts agree that everything starts in the gut, so taking care of it is crucial to one’s overall health. Prebiotic fiber, digestive enzymes and magnesium make this new super powder the easiest way to clean up gut health (which science shows is connected to everything from mental health to skin vitality). Backed by a gastroenterologist, this powder is meant to be an end-of-day, earthy but citrus-y drink that will keep you moving right along.

Most of us think that water is enough to quench our thirst – but it’s not. Studies show that 75% of the US is chronically dehydrated which can show up as brain fog and fatigue (in fact, being just 1% percent dehydrated can feel like the flu). This new electrolyte powder from a megawatt wellness brand uses microplastic-free pink salt, Ionic trace minerals, and chelated essential minerals to energize the body and enhance cognition. Drink it first thing in the morning to set yourself up for daily success.

Most people don’t get enough fiber in the day which can cause issues in the gut, creating bloat and indigestion – things that can really disrupt our lives. But gone are the days of cramp-inducing laxative drinks. This fiber powder has a blend of ten prebiotic fruits and vegetables (think: baobab, pomegranate and green banana) along with ten digestive enzymes to help things run more smoothly. But don’t expect the gritty, chalky texture of yore – a touch of pineapple flavor makes it easy to simply mix into water and sip with ease.

While this isn’t a supplement per se, it will certainly boost your health. Because if you’re not checking the carton at the grocery store, your beloved oat milk may be filled with inflammatory ingredients like seed oils, sugar and emulsifiers. But you need not give up that morning latte – this powdered milk is made with organic oats, bioavailable plant protein and healthy fats that can be turned into liquid milk or directly blended into smoothies and matcha (you can even bake with it!) Be sure to stock up on travel sized packs so you can clean up your coffee just about anywhere you go.

If there has been anything pounded into the heads of women-of-a-certain-age as of late, it’s that it’s all about protein. But this is not your typical protein powder that you’d hide in a smoothie, rather one you’ll mix into nut milk for a punch of nutrients (like folates, magnesium and potassium), while tasting like a delicious milkshake. Customize your Moroccan Chocolate or Vanilla Spice blend with “boosters” for metabolism, immunity, vascular health or recovery.

We need to treat our brains the way we treat our bodies. Period. This company made the mission easy to accomplish with this yummy orange powder that gets added to water in the AM (think: non-pulp-y orange juice). Spiked with MCTs, omegas and curcumin, it kicks brain fog’s butt, while helping with focus, energy and mood, making it the ultimate morning ritual.

If you haven’t yet been introduced to Saffron – little golden strands with immense restorative properties - now’s the time. The super spice helps do everything from calm inflammation and anxiety, to improving mood and mental clarity. Mix this potent powder into some nut milk for a creamy morning beverage or some hot water at night to replace tea time. And since you won’t want to go one day without it, on-the-go sachets make it easy to indulge everywhere.
