Miracle in a pouch

I didn't even know I needed a miracle - but going into menopause truly upended my life. Until I ordered Beet Powder on a whim - and started adding it to my morning beverage. My acupuncturist says the hot flashes, digestive struggles, moodiness and insomnia were a result of blood deficiency - which the Beet Powder resolved IN ONE DAY. So a year of suffering was completely unnecessary - I just needed Beet Powder. I'm eternally grateful to Z Natural Foods for giving me my life back - for such a small amount of money and bonus - the Beet Powder is DELICIOUS. It's a natural sweetener, organic, non-clumping, easy to use and digest - and weeks into using it, I've simply reordered - trusting that it will continue giving my body what it needs to gracefully transition through menopause.

Good variety of great, quality products and excellent customer service. Thank you!

Great Products!

The quality is wonderful!!

I love the Sun Dried Golden Berries!

I love the Sun Dried Golden Berries! I am trying to watch my sugar. These fit the bill when I need a little snack. They are tart and sweet enough to keep me going through the afternoon at work. Much better than candy! Thank you, Cathryn
