9 in 1 Power Coffee with Yacon

An Herbal Energy Drink: Your Coffee Alternative


We combine natural herbs into a rich coffee taste with a hint of natural sweetness. First Vita Plus blends together a first of its kind: pure coffee, with creamer, yacon roots (polymnia sonchifolia), and sugar-free substitutes called polyols.

The Yacon root is an excellent natural product that provides natural treatment for diabetes and liver problems. It is the ideal product for diabetics as the fructose in the yacon root consists of 35% free and 25% bonded fructose. That prevents diabetics from hyperglycaemia. Yacon is also beneficial for those with hypertension. By thinning the blood, yacon can lower blood pressure by 5-10%. It can also lower cholesterol and discourage clot formation. And even as yacon is popularly associated with diabetes, other benefits such as its laxative quality and ability to help prevent colon cancer and osteoporosis are less well known.

Polyols, or sugar alcohols, like lactitol, sorbitol, xylitol, have been used for many years to replace sugars in a wide variety of products such as gums, candies, ice cream, baked goods, and fruit spreads. They have also been widely used in products such as toothpastes, mouthwashes, cough syrups, and cough drops. In addition to their good clean taste, polyols provide some important health benefits. Polyols have fewer calories than sugars. Foods that are sweetened with polyols have been of interest to people with diabetes for many years since they do not cause sudden increases in blood sugar levels.

Also blended with selected leaves of moringa, corchorus, capsicum, amaranthus and ipomoea, packed to meet your daily requirements of vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, anti-oxidants andimmunity enhancing phytochemicals. Guranteed to provide the extra energy boost, protection from stress, and maintenance of wellness, wholeness and well-being.
