FAQ

Yes, it is! Pregnancy is a time where good nutrition from a balanced diet with a variety of foods is absolutely essential. The Double Shot contains folate which contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. We do advise taking an additional pregnancy specific supplement to support your baby's healthy development. The Double Shot also contains 127% RDI of vitamin C which assists with the reduction in tiredness and fatigue, and contributes to normal immune system function. It’s always a good idea to consult with your medical professional or healthcare provider when seeking medical advice, diagnoses or treatment. 

Unlike vitamin and mineral supplements our products are essentially concentrated food, so there should be no issues with nursing, however it's always a good idea to ask your doctor first. In our opinion due to the increased body requirements for nutrients during breastfeeding, nutrient-dense foods are always a good idea. We would recommend starting slowly as anything in your diet has the potential to change the taste of your breast milk. It’s always a good idea to consult with your medical professional or healthcare provider when seeking medical advice, diagnoses or treatment. 

While our products are gluten free, we would still recommend those with a wheat intolerance avoid the Green Shot and Double Shot. Our Red Shot will be fine to take.

In terms of keto, it’s all about total carbs per day and prioritising those in the most nutrient-dense foods possible. Usually, most Keto keeps net carbs to around 40-50g per day. Many nutritionists recommend this diet, and the key is to save the “sugar” for the good stuff! We would recommend trying not to consume sweet hybridised fruit but wild or nutrient-dense berries. Most people have a horrible Keto diet eating animal products and nuts and forget a true Keto diet is actually mostly green plant-based (with lots of coconuts, olive, avocado and other plant fats), some root veggies (beet, carrot, Kumara), and berries. The keto diet should be low/moderate protein ideally as too much protein will drive gluconeogenesis (making sugar). The key is avoiding all processed food, grains and (not sprouted) legumes. That being said, a Shot a day still leaves 40-50g carbs to use on pumpkin, sweet potato or other starchy vegs. Plus, anthocyanins improve insulin sensitivity! 

Antioxidants help protect our cells by fighting free radicals which can contribute to ageing. Leafy greens and berries are a great source of antioxidants. A daily Red Shot or Double Shot has the antioxidant power of six servings of fruits and vegetables.

Our products weren't designed specifically to aid weight loss; however, some people report feeling reduced sugar cravings as a result of including more bitter greens from ingredients like wheat and barley leaf into their diet.  It’s always a good idea to consult with your medical professional or healthcare provider when seeking medical advice, diagnoses or treatment. 

The shots are 100% natural and some of our customers have had impressive results with skin improvements, although not specifically dermatitis. The Double Shot and Green Shot contain folate which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. Vitamin C contributes to cell protection from free radical damage which helps with ageing.
