HEALTH BENEFITS

Cauliflower is a great source of fibre and micronutrients like phosphorus, potassium, vitamin C, folate and vitamin K1. In addition, like other cruciferous vegetables, they contain compounds called glucosinolates, which can convert to the valuable anti-cancer phytonutrient – sulforaphane. Chickpeas are an excellent source of soluble fibre and plant-based protein. They also contain zinc and copper, which are key minerals to support the functioning of immune cells that support a stronger immunity. Taken daily, BOOSTING AMBERS dietary supplement is a natural immunity booster.
