Welcome to essential 8 organics® ...

We all know we should be eating more fresh fruit and vegetables as part of a healthy diet. Modern lifestyles can sometimes make this a challenge. We also know that 'organic' is better for us. Cost and convenience can make this difficult, too. Since when did good nutrition become a 'luxury'?

To address these issues, the essential 8 organics® product range has been developed to help supplement a balanced diet & make good nutrition effective, convenient and affordable.

All ingredients are organic wherever possible and are certified by internationally recognised organic certifiers. We continue to research and independently test our ingredients to ensure you are receiving the highest quality and the best value available.

What's New?

We have received lots of positive comments and useful feedback from our customers, retailers and health practioners. As a result of listening to you, we are currently making some improvements to some of the products, to our packaging and to our website. We apologise for any inconvenience while we undergo these transitions but hope you will be as excited as we are about the end results. Watch this space!

Did you know...

All fruits & vegetables, including the 8 found in essential 8 organics®, contain vitamins & minerals that are 'essential' to good healthy and well being. There are approximately 13 'essential' vitamins and 13 'essential' minerals and most of the benefits of these are well known to us. Not so well known are the 'phyto nutrients', the compounds produced by plants to provide protection from disease at a cellular level. There is thought to be over 4000 phyto nutrients currently identified, though scientific research has only really examined around 150 of these to date. Different types of fruit & vegetables share a wide range of phyto nutrients that include the more commonly known 'antioxidants' as well as anthocyanins, carotenoids, flavanoids and sulfides. These phyto nutrients are easily recognisable by the distinct colours of the produce eg purple produce such as grapes contain high levels of anthocyanins while carrots & pumpkin both contain carotenoids in the form of beta carotene. To give you an idea of the range & variety, a carrot actual contains more than 100 different phyto nutrients...find a supplement that can do that!
