Brazil Nut Products

Brazil Nut

Brazil Nuts are literally bursting with high quality nutrition. This rich and creamy nut boasts a complete amino acid profile, high levels of healthy fats, vitamins and important minerals. One of the most important minerals that is lacking in many Western diets is Selenium - Brazil Nuts are nature's number 1 food for this essential mineral. Just one nut provides a whopping 174% of the RDA for Selenium. Selenium is vital to the healthy functioning of the thyroid, which in turn controls metabolism, heart rate and body temperature. The thyroid gland has more Selenium content per gram of tissue than any other organ in the body.

At Indigo Herbs we are committed to empowering optimum health and nutrition and assisting you to take responsibility for your own health and wellbeing, by having access to many of natures healing botanicals.

Brazil nuts are one of the highest natural sources of a crucial nutrient to the body – Selenium. Just 1 nut provides you with a whopping 174% of the RDA of this important compound. Antioxidant, immune boosting and playing a key role in healthy metabolism, Selenium regulates thyroid function and is a powerful protector of this gland. It regulates the production of reactive oxygen which in turn protects it from the antibodies that can cause thyroid disease.

Brimming with minerals, brazil nuts pack a powerful antioxidant punch. Selenium, Copper and Manganese make a powerful combination to successfully seek out and eliminate free radicals, protecting the body from the oxidative stress which can lead to a whole host of problems.

A daily portion of brazil nuts will also provide you with heart healthy Magnesium, bone healthy Phosphorus, the essential mineral Zinc and a good dose of Vitamins E and B1. 

These Organic Brazil nuts can be eaten whole, crushed and added to muesli, a superfood flapjack or cake.

Manufacture Process

Indigo Herbs Organic Brazil Nuts come from plants that have been grown in certified organic land and adhere to the strictest organic standards. Once the nuts have reached peak maturity they are picked and graded into size. After the Brazil nuts have been shelled, they are inspected for rot and other damage before being passed under special lights that show any microbial content. After another stage of screening the nuts are dried on metal trays to release most of the moisture. After one more round of checks and tests the nuts are ready for packing. The Brazil nuts that get to the end of this process are guaranteed to be some the best that can be bought anywhere in the world.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an umbrella term for a group of eight fat soluble compounds (tocopherols) that are found in a wide variety of wholefoods.  These compounds, of which alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active, have a number of functions in the body. 

Vitamin E is an important antioxidant whose primary role in the body is to scavenge free radicals – these are rogue atoms or atomic groups that have lost at least one electron, forcing them to steal electrons from neighbouring molecules in the hope of stabilizing themselves.  Whilst unsurprisingly this can cause havoc in the body, vitamin E has the ability to neutralize these free radicals thus protecting the cells from oxidative stress.  Vitamin E deficiency is rare due to its ability, whilst working in concert with a number of other compounds (including vitamin C), to restore reduced levels of vitamin E in the body.  The richest source of vitamin E is wheat germ, other foods that contain significant amounts include eggs, nuts, sunflower seeds, cold-pressed vegetable oils and avocados.

Vitamin E contributes to:

·         the protection of cells from oxidative stress

·         the regeneration of the reduced form of Vitamin E

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1

Also known as thiamin, vitamin B1 is one of the eight water soluble vitamins in the vitamin B family.  It is a vital human nutrient playing an important role in how we convert our food into energy – when we consume our food it is broken down into simpler units such as carbohydrates, fats and amino acids, vitamin B1 plays a crucial role in utilising these units to produce energy.  This is especially true for cells in the brain where the energy demand is really high which is why it is also referred to as a “morale vitamin” for its positive effect on the nervous system and a healthy mental attitude! 

Promoting the health of the nervous system, vitamin B1 helps in the proper development of the myelin sheaths around nerves, improving the body’s ability to withstand stress, it is often called the “anti-stress” vitamin and is also reported to improve the memory and powers of concentration.  Thiamin is essential to the body’s cardiac heath, involved in blood formation and helping in the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which is used to relay messages between the nerves and muscles to ensure proper cardiac function.  Brewer’s yeast and liver are the richest sources of vitamin B1, however, spirulina, linseeds, rye, wheat germ and kidney beans are also important sources of this vitamin.

Vitamin B1 contributes to:

·         normal energy-yielding metabolism

·         the normal functioning of the nervous system

·         normal psychological function

·         the normal function of the heart

Iron

Iron

Iron is needed for a number of highly complex processes that continuously take place in the body on a molecular level and that are indispensable to human life.  Formation of haemoglobin is the chief function of this mineral – this is the primary protein found in red blood cells and represents about two thirds of the body’s iron.  Haemoglobin binds to the oxygen molecules that you breathe in from the air and releases them into your tissues.  The brain receives around 20% of the blood oxygen and a proper flow of blood to the brain can stimulate cognitive activity and help to create new neural pathways, it is especially important that children consume enough iron in their diet – iron deficiency in the first two years of a child’s life is associated with delayed cognitive and psychomotor development.  

Ribonucleic reductase is an iron dependant enzyme that is required for DNA synthesis (cell division), thus iron is required for a number of functions including healing and immune function - red blood cells are necessary for providing oxygen to damaged tissues, organs and cells.  Iron is also involved in food metabolism and is a cofactor and activator for some enzymes which play key roles in energy production and metabolism.  If iron stores are low symptoms can include tiredness, fatigue and dizziness.  Dietary iron has two forms, heme (animal based) and non-heme (plant based), important sources are; grass fed beef, oysters, spinach, lentils and beans.

Iron contributes to:

·         normal cognitive function

·         normal energy-yielding metabolism

·         normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin

·         normal oxygen transport in the body

·         normal function of the immune system

·         the reduction of tiredness and fatigue

·         normal cognitive development of children

·         Iron has a role in the process of cell division
