]]> 2020-04-16T04:21:00-04:00 2020-04-16T04:21:24-04:00 Q&A with Frida Hallqvist Alberte Hall Frida Hallqvist is a best-selling author of three books, hailing from Denmark, who currently runs an online personal training platform. From her background in professional ballet to being a mother to two wonderful children, we knew that Frida shared the same ethos as us here at Puori. We sat down with her and asked her some questions to get a better insight into her busy life.  What do you do to stay healthy? And what does being healthy mean to you?
I love the wholeness of what health can be. Health for me is when training, healthy eating, sleep, presence in the moment and reduced stress meet and become something bigger than the sum of their parts. For me, health is the most important cornerstone of a well-functioning life, focusing on both the physical and the mental form. Because when you feel healthy you can continue to find the drive to live a healthy life.
How do you keep yourself in shape?
I love to train, and I train with plenty of variety. My body feels best when I combine everything from yoga, barre or dance with running and strength training. I listen to my body and that determines what my needs are at that moment. I take care during stressful periods and prioritize mindfulness during stressful and busy periods. I have a background as a ballet dancer and so I have always trained a lot in one form or another. Training for me is a lifestyle and always something I look forward to. I vary the pace and intensity, but never stop and always exercise several times each week.
How do you fit training into a busy day?
I will always prioritize a quick walk or workout before throwing myself onto the couch in the evening. Otherwise, I get up early and get the training done before the kids wake up. I do several quick workouts on the living room floor at home, so I save time back and forth from the gym. I mostly use my own fitness app “BODYbyFRIDA” and work out at home. The app has over 100 different training programs to create variety and get you motivated, and thus leads to more successful results. It's like having a personal trainer at home, even if it is having myself as a trainer! Additionally, each week I teach Pulsing Barre and yoga classes, so there is plenty of training for me during the week. 
What do you think is the biggest challenge in terms of achieving a healthy lifestyle?
When life challenges us with more work than normal, sick children or bad weather it’s always hard to keep the motivation and actually just get it done. Keep in mind that training should not be something you have to force yourself to do. Even when the time is short, you should always try to find the time, because you want to. This is why I am a big fan of fast workouts and easy cooking solutions in the kitchen when what you planned doesn’t go quite right. I don't give up - you just have to find another solution so that being healthy can be your focus even when life doesn’t go your way. 
What do supplements mean to you in your daily life?
Supplements ensure that my body is constantly optimized from the inside out. It makes my body stronger and better able to handle the workouts that I do as well as my busy everyday life. My body is more resilient when it comes to illness since I started taking Puori supplements several years ago. I have not been sick as much as I used to be, or been hit as badly if I have a virus. It's crazy to see and feel the difference. I can also feel a big difference in my energy levels. The supplements mean that I have more to give each day. 
What do 'clean' products mean to you?
I often get check in detail what is contained in everything I eat. Clean products are a must for me as I can feel exactly what food ingredients do to my body, my skin, my digestion, and my mood. Of course, I think about how it affects my body for future illnesses but also how it affects the here and now. A clean product positively affects my body in every aspect and helps me achieve my goals as opposed to constantly giving your body something that is working against you.
Are 'pure' products important to you when it comes to supplements? If so, why?
Yes, very much so. As I said, I look into what all products contain, from everything from food, vitamins, creams to shampoo. It affects me tremendously if I get too many additives or chemicals. I have had a problem with both hormonal balance and skin problems in the past, and these have all gone away by finding the right products for me. 
How did you first encounter Puori?
It was over 6 years ago! I first found the fish oil, that was the first Puori product I started with. At that time, it was the only product that Puori made. It has been incredibly fun to be on the journey alongside the company since then. 
Which are your favorite products from Puori? And why?
Firstly, SB3. I know it is super good for my body, my gut, and my digestion. And it also tastes really good. It’s my "afternoon treat" every day. It almost like a sweet caramel if you have it straight from the stick, without any water. 
Puori C3 effervescent vitamin C tablet also ranks very high on my list. I have a glass of this several times a week, if not every day. It’s a great combination of something which I can feel the benefits of, as well as great ingredients and a wonderful taste. 
How do you create balance in your life?
A little of everything is okay. It’s okay to be a little unhealthy sometimes. Yes, I love health, exercise, and all the clean and healthy ingredients and products I use every day. But I also love champagne, being up late and eating a burger the morning after. Remember that that is ok too. When you do that, make sure you enjoy it, do not feel guilty – you can enjoy these foods with a clean conscience because that is what gives you balance. That way, I choose to have unhealthy food very infrequently, because I had the chance to enjoy them when I do, without feeling guilty. 
What do most people not know about you?
That I've bungee jumped twice. And that I'm terrified of sharks and deep water. Oh and that I love eating licorice.
Positive, loving, determined
Which book would you recommend to everyone to read?
The best book I've read lately is "Crushed" by Anne Mette Kirk. An incredibly exciting novel and Anne Mette keeps you enthralled from side to side. Her language is vibrant and sincere, and you are engrossed in the story. ]]> 2020-03-22T04:49:00-04:00 2020-04-15T02:16:17-04:00 Everything You Need to Know About Vitamin C Alberte Hall Most energy products on the market are packed full of caffeine, sugar or excessive B vitamins. We challenged the status quo with a product that combines natural plant extracts for mental focus, along with sources of vitamin C to aid the immune system, the nervous system and to reduce tiredness and fatigue. Here’s what you need to know about our unique vitamin C product

Clean label and natural ingredients

Puori C3 is made from natural ingredients. In the body, vitamin C is in the form of ascorbic acid. Whilst there are limited differences in bio-availability of different vitamin C forms it is known that ascorbic acid can cause gastrointestinal problems in some people (1). For that reason, we chose vitamin C from natural sources, in the form of acerola, goji and rosehip, as well as mineral-bound ascorbates to make Puori C3. In addition, we use natural fillers such as inulin and starch rather than any synthetic fillers. We use natural stevia as a sweetener, with no sugar added, too.

Benefits from taking C3

Immune function

Vitamin C contributes to the inner workings of the immune system (2). It is found in particularly high concentrations in immune cells suggesting an important role in protecting the body. Vitamin C deficiency leads to death of immune cells(3) Additionally, the proven antioxidant properties of vitamin C are essential for immune cells to destroy invaders and is important for the regulation and movement of immune cells. In human trials, for individuals undergoing high levels of physical stress — for example, marathon runners or soldiers — vitamin C supplementation halved the incidence of colds. What this means for you is if you’re training regularly or putting your body under stress, then taking a vitamin C supplement may reduce the frequency of illness (4).

Oxidative stress

The main function of vitamin C in the body is as an antioxidant. Molecules known as free radicals are created by the body from normal body functions as well as from outside the body, for example exposure to pollution. An antioxidant such as vitamin C prevents free radicals from causing harm to our body’s tissues. This is also particularly important after exercise. When we exercise, our tissues are damaged and become inflamed. A small amount of inflammation is beneficial and helps us grow stronger and recover faster, However, the balance is delicate - too much and recovery and progress may not be optimal (5)

Nerve function

Nerves, like immune cells, have a high concentration of vitamin C. Vitamin C protects the cells from oxidative stress and is also needed for the nerves to ensure smooth signaling. Thus, vitamin C can help keep your nerve cells in your brain healthy and working correctly (6).

Reduction of tiredness and fatigue

Weakness and fatigue are common symptoms for vitamin C deficiency. A supplement with vitamin C can prevent deficiency reducing symptoms of fatigue. Additionally, Ascorbic acid or vitamin C is one of the main regulators of iron balance. The role of vitamin C is to enhance the absorption of non-heme iron (7) from plant sources in the gastrointestinal tract. Iron contributes to haemoglobin formation which is the part of blood that transports oxygen throughout the body, thus playing an incredibly important role in providing adequate oxygen to your tissues and keeping you energized. This is why Puori C3 is the perfect product to start the day, instead of coffee or tea. Alternatively, try them as a mid-morning or afternoon pick-me-up. Alternatively, consider using Puori C3 as a pre-workout drink.

]]> 2020-03-22T04:47:00-04:00 2020-03-22T04:47:25-04:00 Why You Need to Care About Vitamin D Alberte Hall Vitamin D is essential for good health. It facilitates calcium and phosphorus absorption, promotes strong bones and helps strengthen the immune system. Vitamin D is produced by the skin when it is exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Unfortunately, there are many people in the US and Northern Europe who are vitamin D deficient.

This is due to today’s high-paced life which revolves around gadgets, computers and other types of technology that limit our interaction with mother nature. Our lifestyle choices reduce the time we spend outdoors and restrict our exposure to the sun’s UVB rays. In addition, widespread pollution prevents the healthy UVB rays from reaching the ground and diminishes our body’s potential production of the sunshine vitamin whenever we decide to go outside to bask in the warmth of the sun. This is a big concern because a deficiency in vitamin D poses several health problems.

Fragile Bones

Vitamin D facilitates bone growth and is an important factor in keeping our bones strong and healthy. A lack of this vitamin will prevent our bones from absorbing calcium and phosphorus and will weaken them considerably, which may result in bone pain, or osteoporosis. This deficiency also makes our bodies vulnerable to fragility fractures (1). To help prevent bone injury, sufficient measures must be taken to ensure we get enough of vitamin D.

Higher Risk of Respiratory Infection

Multiple studies confirm a deficiency in vitamin D increases the risk of getting respiratory infections, in both adults and children (2). Most kids with low vitamin D levels have a higher risk of developing asthma (3).

Higher Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease

One research team found people who were deficient in vitamin D were more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and dementia (4). The study reported that vitamin D helps protect lymphocytes – a type of white blood cell that is created by the body’s immune system to fight against cancerous cells and pathogens – which help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Higher Risk of Cancer

Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of cancer. A study conducted in December of 2017 noted a significant association between vitamin D deficiency and differentiated thyroid cancer diagnosis (5). This probability urged some to study and document the potential of vitamin D to improve the outcome for cancer patients (6).

There are different ways to ensure we are getting enough vitamin D. Increasing the time you spend outdoors will greatly improve your vitamin D levels. Taking walks while the sun is up is a good start and can help your skin absorb the healthy UVB rays while giving your body some exercise. It is also important to take vitamin D supplements. Lifestyle matters. Keeping your body fit and strong and maintaining good health all boil down to how we decide to spend our days. Human beings are not meant to stay cooped up inside for long hours. Stand up and enjoy the outdoors! Take good care of yourself, and your body will thank you for it.

While your summer tan may last into October and November, the vitamin D synthesized throughout the summer is often not sufficient to compensate. It is no coincidence that cold and flu rates surge dramatically during the winter months.

The "flu season" occurs during the cold half of the year of each hemisphere, and it has been regularly hypothesized that this is the result of vitamin D seasonal deficiency (4). Of course, the best source of vitamin D is still sunlight, in the correct dosages. However, not all of us are fortunate enough to have daily sun exposure all year round — sometimes not even during the summer months! And yet vitamin D is essential for normal function of numerous physiological functions. At least 1,000 different genes, governing virtually every tissue in the body, are thought to be regulated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, the active form of the vitamin. Unfortunately, a large percentage of the population is deficient. Here are some steps you can take to keep your vitamin D levels high this winter.

How to Boost Your Vitamin D Levels


If you live in an area with year-round sunshine, then natural sunlight provides the best source of vitamin D. "20 to 25 minutes of exposure is helpful," according to Stephen Honig, MD, director of the Osteoporosis Center at the Hospital for Joint Diseases. Photochemical vitamin D synthesis varies greatly with age, skin color and the amount of skin coverage during sun exposure. Make sure to take these into account when calculating how much natural sunlight you may need. However, natural sunlight does come with risks. The disadvantage of sun exposure is the risk of skin cancer from prolonged exposure, due to DNA damage caused by UV radiation. However, the majority of people tend to be deficient in vitamin D because of limited sun exposure — so getting some sun exposure, but not too much, is key.


With limited sunlight during the winter months, one of the safest and cost-effective methods of boosting your vitamin D levels is through supplementation. A large systematic review and meta-analysis looking at the optimal supplementation dosage around the globe (Indsæt link) suggest a intake of 2000-3000IU a day is appropriate to maintain adequate healthy levels of vitamin D. It is important to note that sometimes with a good amount of sun exposure less supplementation is necessary, but sun exposure should not be excessive. The best and most accurate way to tell if you are supplementing correctly is with a blood test.


Certain foods are relatively high in vitamin D. However, this can be a very costly source. As you can see from the levels below, you would need to eat a large volume of these food sources in order to achieve the recommended daily allowance. But, it is certainly a great way to help boost your levels:

  • Fresh fish: 100g of a fatty fish such as salmon may contain around 240IU per serving.
  • Mushrooms: Depending on the variety, mushrooms can contain around 450IU per 100g serving.
  • Eggs: One egg contains approximately 36IU of vitamin D.
  • Liver: 100g of lamb's liver may contain approximately 36IU of vitamin D.


UV Lights

On a doctor's recommendation, some severely vitamin D deficient patients can utilize UV emitting indoor lighting to synthesize vitamin D. However, these pose the same risks of skin cancer as long-term sun exposure and should be used carefully.

Collagen is a crucial protein that is found all over the human body. It is mainly found in connective tissue – that means that it’s in our bones and our joints. But it’s also a major component of our skin and our hair, too.  

The word collagen comes from the ancient Greek word κόλλα (kolla), which translates to “glue”. This name is a perfect description of its role in the body - namely, to hold our body together, providing firmness and strength. Interestingly, collagen is so strong, that type 1 collagen fibrils are gram-for-gram stronger than steel (1) – pretty impressive!

In your body, collagen proteins form what is known as fibrils. These are long tubes of fibrous tissue which are arranged into a regular pattern. It’s these fibrils that contribute to the health of your connective tissue, bones, joints, hair, and nails. However, over time as we age, your collagen production decreases, resulting in weaker connections and less strong arrangements. This is why over time your joints become less stable and your tendons and ligaments become more prone to injury.

Puori CP1

CP1 from Puori is a clean, high-quality hydrolyzed collagen powder, which only contains pure collagen peptides that ensure optimal absorption and function in the body. It’s made of hydrolyzed collagen from bovine and contains primarily collagen types 1 and 3.

 Collagen has a complex amino acid profile including a mix of both essential and non-essential types. It’s particularly high in conditional amino acids, like arginine, glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are great for support the structure of our skin, nails, hair, as well as the health of our gut and tendons.

The best part is that CP1is an unflavored powder that easily dissolves and mixes into any cold or hot beverage, without adding any flavor. Each scoop of CP1provides you with over 90% pure protein, that enriches the nutritional profile of any drink, smoothie or other beverage and Puori Pure Collagen Peptides provides 10g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides per serving.

Why is collagen so important?

Muscle Maintenance and Growth 

After a vigorous workout, your muscle tissue develops microscopic tears, which rapidly repair and become stronger. This is what leads to muscle growth, also known as hypertrophy. While muscle growth responds to exercise relatively quickly, however, the building of connective tissue and, in particular, collagen is relatively slow, which means that your muscles may be getting stronger, but the connective tissue around your joints may not have caught up.

Bone Health 

As the world’s population is transitioning gradually into an aging population, the incidence of fragile bones of old age, also known as osteoporosis, increases annually. This is particularly true in women who have gone through menopause.

A recently published study in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrients, that supplementing with collagen peptides improved the bone density of postmenopausal women and was associated with a favorable shift in bone markers, indicating increased bone formation and reduced bone degradation overall (2). 

Skin & Hair 

As we age, you may notice that your hair becomes less shiny, has less volume and your skin develops wrinkles. This is, of course, part of the natural aging progress and can’t be halted forever. But, the aging of the skin which, as already noted, is seen in the form of wrinkles that occur due to the breakdown of collagen. This happens naturally with age but is also caused by exposure to intense sunlight (3) or disease (4).

The obvious question, then: how can we build collagen and keep our joints strong and our skin and hair healthy?


Collagen, as with all protein structures in the body, is composed of building blocks known as amino acids. To create amino acids to build proteins, we must ingest protein through our diet. Once ingested, dietary protein is broken down into its constituent amino acids before it is rebuilt into other proteins, for example, to repair your muscle tissue or, indeed, to build collagen. So, we need a healthy supply of dietary protein, be it from animal sources such as beef or salmon or a high-quality protein supplement like Puori CP1. The advantage of a supplement such as Puori CP1is that the collagen protein available provides the perfect balance of amino acids for collagen synthesis in your body, and the ease of adding a scoop of CP1to any beverage without any added flavor.

Vitamin C

Scurvy, most famous for affecting malnourished sailors in the 18th century is caused by a deficiency in vitamin C. Unlike most animals, we humans are unable to synthesize vitamin C in our bodies and so it must be obtained through diet. Vitamin C is found in many fruits, including citrus fruits, strawberries, and kiwis, as well as vegetables such as broccoli, green and red peppers, and spinach. Another great source of vitamin C is Puori C3, which contains natural vitamin C alongside botanical extracts to help give you a boost.

Vitamin C is particularly important as it is required to form collagen proteins (5). Without it, tissues begin to break down leading to bleeding gums, muscle, and joint pain, as well as a type of tiredness associated with scurvy. On the less severe end of the scale, if you don’t have enough Vitamin C to synthesize collagen, your joints, hair, and nails will all suffer. Thus, getting enough vitamin C through your diet can help to keep the collagen in your skin, bones, and joints as healthy as possible. 

Forgotten protein

The way we eat in the developed world has changed a lot over the last couple of hundred years. We typically choose to buy perfectly trimmed cuts of meat and fish, without any of the connective tissue or sinew that would traditionally have been found on animal produce. Eating less of this gelatin and collagen-rich food, for example, traditional bone broth, or pigs’ trotters, and offal and more plant-based protein sources has created a significant shift in our amino acid intake.

We know that our hunter-gatherer ancestors cooked animals from nose-to-tail providing them with an abundance of connective tissue and cartilage.

For that reason, eating more connective tissue or gelatin can help boost your collagen production by providing the right amino acids, but we know that connective tissue or gelatin is not to everyone’s taste. That’s why Puori CP1was born – to help supplement the food sources of collagen which are not eaten so frequently. It’s an unflavoured powder than mixes with any hot or cold beverage, importantly without any flavor! 

Give Puori CP1 a try

So now you know why collagen is so important and what you can do to help your bones and joints stay healthy and keep your hair and nails strong. Try Puori CP1 today.

    We all wish we had unlimited time and resources we could dedicate to designing perfect meal plans, but if that’s not feasible, supplements can help you make sure you’re not missing out on important nutrients. 

    Do I really need to take supplements?

    Magnesium is an example of a mineral many people are deficient in, even though the RDA is attainable through food like almonds, spinach and beans. Other people struggle to fit in adequate amounts of fatty fish on a weekly basis, and decide to supplement with fish oil instead to make sure they’re not missing out on the important omega-3 fatty acids..


    Certain nutrients can be hard to come by in the foods you eat, no matter how varied your diet is. Getting your needs covered are also important to keep in mind if you decide to go for a more plant based diet. Let’s take closer a look at examples of need-to-have nutrients where supplementation is extra important to consider:

    Vitamin D


    Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in your body. This mechanism is necessary to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy.  Apart from that, Vitamin D is a key regulator in our immune system and helps support it and make sure it functions optimally. It also regulates absorption of minerals like magnesium, and having adequate amounts of vitamin D in the blood is therefore highly important. 

    Unfortunately, an estimated 1 billion people worldwide are deficient, which isn’t surprising considering that our lives are becoming increasingly indoor and sedentary, and Vitamin D deficiency is much more prevalent in areas with less sunny climates. This makes sense, as most of our vitamin D is produced in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. 


    So how do we make sure we’re getting enough vitamin D? Firstly, we should try to spend some more time outdoors, but sunscreen reduces production of Vitamin D with almost 90%, and even without sunscreen, sunlight in the northern hemisphere is not strong enough for our body to produce adequate amounts of vitamin D most of the year (September-May).

    Since it’s only naturally present in a limited number of food sources, for most people vitamin D is a nutrient where it makes sense to consider supplementation.

    If your multivitamin contains under 400 IU of vitamin D and you live in higher latitudes or don’t spend much time in the sun, consider supplementing with a seperate vitamin D supplement. Large studies show that a dosage between 2000-3000 IU per day is beneficial to keep your vitamin D levels optimal.

    Plant-based nutrition

    We’ve covered the health benefits and the climate friendliness of adopting a more plant based diet in previous tips, but this comes with a few nutritional challenges - studies indicate that up to 80-90% percent of vegans may be deficient in vitamin B12 , a nutrient that helps keep the body's nerve- and blood cells healthy, so you feel energized.  Because vitamin B12 is found predominantly in animal sources, if you're a vegan you might consider taking a supplement.

    There are other important nutrients that while not impossible, are harder to get enough of on a plant based diet . These include protein, the minerals calcium, , zinc, iodine, iron and vitamin A plus B3. Luckily, there are vegan multivitamins and protein powders that can help you get all the nutrients you need while reaping the climate and health benefits of making your diet staples plant based.

    Supplement regulation

    It is important to keep in mind that the supplement industry is largely unregulated. Poor manufacturing processes and intentional contamination with many banned substances continue to occur, and it defeats the point of supplementing if you’re ingesting harmful contaminants on a daily basis - so try to keep this in mind when supplement shopping, and only go for supplements from brands you trust or that are tested for contamination by independent 3rd party labs that publish data for each batch.

    Supplements and the environment

    The supplement industry can potentially play a vital role in mitigating climate change, as it opens up the possibility of eating less foods that have a detrimental impact on the environment and getting the vitamins you lose when reducing intake of  meat, dairy and eggs from supplements instead.

    One thing you can do right now to lower your environmental footprint is to go for certified sustainable fish oil - overfishing can have serious consequences for surrounding ecosystems and can lead to unrecoverable loss of marine species.

    Bottom line

    For many of us, large parts of our lives are spent indoors, in cars, on the go, and that can get in the way of the focus it requires to get all of the nutrients we need through our diets, and some vitamins are hard to get enough of no matter how hard we try. Supplements make it possible for us to safely adopt diets that have a positive impact on our environment, especially when we make sure we are buying products that are  3rd party tested and sustainably sourced. Summed up: Though not a replacement for a healthy diet, supplements open a door to a healthier life for us, when external limitations get in the way.

    We’ve gone pretty deep into different aspects of nutrition and sustainability, so in this article, we’ll sum up some takeaways from previous tips, and look into how we can design our meals to benefit ourselves while taking care of the planet:

    Go crazy with vegetables and fruits - aim for 1/2 of your plate

    Vegetables are packed with essential nutrients and fiber, at a very low caloric cost. Aim for color and variety. 

    Stay sustainable: Try to go for in-season, locally grown produce, but keep in mind that you may have to do some research on a case by case basis to find the most sustainable source possible in your area.

    Carb up - aim for 1/4 plate of healthy carbohydrates

    Whole grains and starchy root vegetables such as potatoes and plantains provide important fibres while having a smaller impact on your blood sugar than their refined counterparts.

    You can adjust these guidelines according to whatever dietary limitations you have; if you’re celiac or are struggling with low insulin sensitivity, you should tailor your carb consumption around it.

    Stay sustainable: Since they are so energy-dense and require comparatively few resources to grow, most grains are very environmentally friendly. But do keep in mind that unlimited consumption of certain grains, like rice and quinoa, does have an environmental and social impact.

    Pile on some protein - aim for 1/4 plate of high-quality protein

    Protein plays a vital role in the function of your body, and lentils, beans, fish and nuts are all great sources. Many proteins, like nuts, fish, and seeds will also provide you with healthy fats. Keep in mind that different protein sources contain different compositions of essential amino acids, so try to keep your proteins varied to make sure you’re covered, especially if you focus on plant-based proteins.

    Stay Sustainable: Meat agriculture is one of the biggest climate sinners today, so try to replace animal-based proteins with plant-based alternatives when possible. Nuts, seeds, and legumes are healthy and sustainable alternatives.

    Don’t be scared of fats - only trans fats (a little)

    The right kinds of fats, mostly those from plants (nuts, seeds, plant oil) and marine sources, are essential for our survival. Trans fats, the processed fats found in fast food and other processed treats, should be minimized. Fish and roe contain high amounts of easily absorbable Omega 3 acids, but you can also get a less absorbable version from plants.

    Stay Sustainable: If you want to incorporate fish into your diet because of the health benefits, try to make sure you’re buying from certified sources that don’t deplete seas and damage ecosystems.

    Bottom line

    Following this model (50% vegetables, 25% proteins, and 25% carbohydrates) you’ll have an easier time getting the variety of nutrients you need to function properly. Due to the high amounts of fiber and volume in vegetables, you’ll be less likely to overeat, and since nothing is off bounds, you can follow this on a day to day basis and indulge in treats when a meaningful occasion arises.

    When we know what impact the food we eat has on our bodies, it’s interesting to see that many of the nutritional habits that are good for us seem to be symbiotic with the health of the planet. With this symbiosis in mind, we have an opportunity to feel a broader sense of well being when we eat healthy foods that nourish us knowing we’re not putting a needless strain on the world around us.

For example, do you know whether the product you last picked up off the shelf or ordered online actually contained what it claimed on the label? Probably not.

    Here at Puori, we know exactly how hard it is to navigate the complex world of supplements. We also know that if you care about your body, and your health and well-being, you will want to purchase supplements that are of the very highest quality – which means, of course, without any unnecessary additives or contaminants. So we aim to make the choice of our products easier and more transparent than any other supplement company in the world.

    Overall, we recommend that you keep in mind two factors when buying supplements. The first is to insist on independent, third-party testing. The second is to demand transparency - simply put, this means that every ingredient in the supplement is listed on the label. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Why are 3rd party testing programs and transparency important?

    As consumers, we would like to believe that the products we can buy off the shelf or online contain exactly what the labels say they do. You know very well that supplements are often wrapped in beautiful packaging, claim many health benefits, and declare only “natural" ingredients. But, in reality, this is not always the case. What’s written on the label is not always an accurate description of what the product contains. For instance, it's all too common that supplements contain too little of the active ingredient, or contain contaminants not listed on the labels.

    This is exactly why unbiased, third-party testing is so important in helping you make an informed decision when purchasing a supplement. At Puori, we are pioneers in the field of third-party testing across our entire supplement portfolio – that way, you know as a customer you're getting a clean and optimum product.

    But what exactly is third-party testing? Third party testing means that an independent laboratory has tested a batch of a given product to determine whether first, there are any additional ingredients not declared on the label and second, that the supplement meets normal stringent safety and quality standards. In fact, by law, all supplements in both the US and EU supplements must not contain excess heavy metals, pesticide residues, or other contaminants. Of course, without appropriate third-party testing, there is no guarantee that the products you purchase are safe to consume.

    So, by publishing the results of independent, third-party laboratory results, you are guaranteed full transparency about the range of Puori’s products – that is, not only what our products contain but very importantly what impurities they don’t contain.

    Make an informed choice with Puori

    In sum, at Puori we believe that you have the right to know exactly what’s in the products you consume on a daily or occasional basis. That’s why we have partnered with the Clean Label Project (CLP) – the leading US-based certification program – and together we have started the initiative 'Puori Transparency Project'.

    This new collaboration between Puori and CLP means that every new batch of Puori products are tested to CLP's high standards and through The Transparency Project, the results are communicated directly to you, the consumer. You can find the results by searching for the batch number readily found on your Puori packaging.

    Giving power back to the consumer

    “We want our customers to get the very best products, and in addition to making natural and effective products, we guarantee that all our products are responsibly manufactured and of the highest quality. We warmly welcome all supplement brands that make efforts to be more transparent and provide customers with more information about what is in their product and where it comes from. We are pleased that the work of CLP and their efforts in the supplement space make it easier for the consumer to navigate the wide range of products available on the market”– Oliver Amdrup, founder and CEO of Puori

    “Puori's goal of creating products that are not only of the highest quality but that also put the safety of the consumer and the transparency of the products as a priority appeals to me a lot. As a healthy, physically active person who chooses my supplements with great care, I know how difficult it can be to find new products on the market”– Helena Christensen, brand ambassador for Puori.

    Like Puori, Helena Christensen believes that there is no miracle cure when it comes to good health, but that making informed choices make it much easier to achieve a balanced active life, with a focus on physical, mental and emotional well-being.

    “When an independent third-party lab tests Puori's products, it means you can be sure that what's on the label, whether it's their protein powder or any other supplement, is exactly what it says – it’s guaranteed to be 100 percent natural and high quality. This clarity is refreshing and gives me the security that I need.  I am really looking forward to following Puori on their journey to continue to create more great products and at the same time encourage the rest of the whole supplement industry to use only pure and natural ingredients, and prove it to their customers” – Helena Christensen, brand ambassador in Puori.

    Puori's products are based on pure, natural ingredients and guaranteed not to contain any harmful additives. The products are designed to offer exactly the helping hand your body needs – based on the best scientific evidence.

    The only juice recipe you will ever need!
    Let us look at making the perfect juice, both in terms of flavor and making a drink, that is beyond healthy. Juicing is obviously a very simple, straightforward and effective way of raising one’s intake of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidants, and phytochemicals. My experience is, that many get stuck with a few basic recipes – carrots + ginger, carrots, apples + ginger, beets + apples, beets + apples + ginger and a few other classics. People hesitate going beyond those classic ingredients and combinations, out of fear that the result will not be tasty however healthy it may be.

    You can take juicing way beyond that…and you can do it without being a classically trained chef or professional gourmet. You just have to know a few basic tips about how to essentially “sculpt” or “build flavor” with juice. Having spent the last few months creating a whole range of juices and smoothies for a new cookbook, I have come across a generic formula for juices, that seems to work every single time regardless of what ingredients I use.


    The recipe makes 3-4 glasses of delicious juice.

    Preparation time

    10 minutes or so.


    In case you are not able to drink all of it at once, the juice does actually keep quite well in the refrigerator until later the same day. The combination of vitamin C, bioflavonoids and essential oils from the peel and juice of the citrus fruit seems to preserve the juice.


    Kitchen gear needed

    A powerful centrifugal juicer.



    1 (whole/portion/serving) of a white, yellow, orange, red or purple vegetable (beetroot, carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, red onion, parsley root, parsnip, red bell pepper, yellow/orange bell pepper or the like)

    A bit (or a lot) of fresh ginger


    optionally a bit of fresh chili


    1 apple or pear or a few slices of melon

    1 tsp of cold-pressed unrefined omega-3 rich vegetable oil (flaxseed, hempseed, walnut or chia seed oil)

    How to prepare

    Push every single ingredient through your juicer in the above order. The citrus fruits and apple or pear will carry along the remaining juices and flavors from the previous ingredients. You might also consider pouring ¼ a glass of water through your juicer whilst still running to get the last bits of juice and flavor out.

    Mix the juice with the vegetable oil.

    Most of us have probably tried eyeing our empty bread basket at a restaurant, thinking: Should I feel bad for eating this entire thing before the first appetizers have been served? 

    And it’s not surprising; grains and starches have been out of fashion in the health world for quite some time now, even though they have been a nutritional staple of many civilizations for thousands of years. In this article, we’ll be taking a closer look at what the pro’s and con’s of grains are, both for our own health and for the environment.

    So, why aren’t grains evil?

    We risk losing a lot of nuances when we pigeonhole entire food groups as being either good or bad - there are just too many different types of grains and ways of processing them. So let’s start by breaking down the anatomy of grains, the seeds taken from grain crops such as wheat, barley, rye and rice.

    A whole, unprocessed grain kernel consists of three parts:

  1. Bran - The grains hard outer layer, which contains antioxidants, minerals, and fibre
  2. Germ - The core of the grain which, along with the nutrients found in bran, contains proteins and small amounts of plant fats as well as vitamin B and E
  3. Endosperm - This is the largest part of the grain, and it consists mostly of carbohydrates proteins

  4. Refined grains have the bran and germ removed making them nutrient-poor but high in calories, which is why they are sometimes referred to ‘’empty calories’’.  Since refined grains aren’t accompanied by the same amount of fibre found whole grains, they cause rapid spikes in your blood sugar which can lead to hunger pangs and hard-to-control cravings. Examples of refined grains are white flour and white rice, and you can find refined grains in most of the baked goods and other processed treats most of us like to indulge in from time to time.

    Whole grains, on the other hand, retain 100% per cent of the original kernel. The bran and germ considerably boost the nutritional profile of grain, providing about 25% more protein and 50-75% more nutrients than their refined counterparts. Carbohydrates, one of the three main macronutrients, can be found in abundance in whole (and refined) grains. Though you can safely choose to eat very few carbohydrates and get your energy from other macronutrients, healthy carbohydrates are a valuable source of energy for those who don’t react badly to them.

    What makes the carbohydrate content interesting in whole grains, is that they are far richer in fibre than their refined counterparts. Due to the fibre content, they contain less digestible carbohydrate, making digestion less rapid. This contributes to a lower and more gradual rise in blood sugar, keeping you full for longer and potentially reducing your chances of developing diabetes and cardiac disease. 

     Here are some example of whole grains and some ideas on how to incorporate them into your diet:

    • Buckwheat, Barley, Spelt, Amaranth, Bulgur: These grains are great as a carbohydrate side dish or a filler in salads, and can also be used in porridges
    • Rolled Oats: An easy breakfast food that can be used in muesli, oatmeal and baked goods
    • Whole grain/wheat  flours: You can use flours made from many different types of whole grains to make bread or other baked goods packed with lots of nutrients and fibre

    Based on their respective nutritional profiles it can seem like a no brainer to ditch all refined grains and only eat barley and oats forever, but a less drastic approach can be easier to sustain.  Thinking of whole grains as your staple, everyday foods and choosing to indulge refined grains when meaningful occasions arise ensures that you get all the benefits of whole grains while maintaining your sanity and not over restricting in a way that has a negative impact on your social life and happiness.


    Gluten, a protein found in many grains has been in the spotlight in the last decade. If you are among the 1% of people who suffer from celiac disease, gluten causes an immune reaction that triggers inflammation and damages your intestines and other parts of the body. The only way to avoid the immune reaction is to completely cut out gluten.

    Some people are not quite celiac, but ‘’gluten-sensitive’’, which means their tests come back negative for celiac disease, but they experience many of the same symptoms. If you don’t fall under the categories celiac or gluten sensitive, there is no solid evidence indicating that gluten-free diets are better for you, and you risk missing out on some tasty and nutritious types of grains. Luckily, for those who find they don't feel quite right when they consume gluten, there are plenty of naturally gluten-free grains, such as rice, oats, quinoa, maize and buckwheat.

    Fermented Grains

    Before we get into the environmental impact of grains,  let’s talk about the benefits of eating fermented grains. Sourdough bread is leavened with lactobacillus bacteria and naturally occurring yeasts. During fermentation the bacteria and yeast digest starches in the dough, producing lactic acid and carbon dioxide. The lactic acid serves as a probiotic in your digestive system, helping ‘’good bacteria’’ thrive: these good bacteria need all the support they can get, as they help your immune system fend off inflammation and infections. Basically,  if you ferment your grains before you eat them, you further boost the nutritional profile of whole grains; and sourdough bread tastes pretty fantastic too!

    Sounds good, but what about the earth though?

    Meat-centric diets such as paleo and keto have many dedicated fans, but letting more grains into your diet affords our farming land and water supply some much-needed breathing room. A 2012 dutch study found that a single calorie of beef required almost 20 more gallons of water to produce than a single grain calorie. Apart from that, most grains have a host of other qualities that make them a seriously good staple food if you want to eat with the environment in mind:

    • Grains are more resilient to weather conditions than most other crops
    • Most grains are quite nutritionally dense compared to the resources need to grow them
    • After they are harvested, grains can be stored for long periods of time, leading to less food waste

    But like almost everything else, the environmental viability of grain consumption isn’t black and white. 

    Rice is a good example of this; it provides more calories to the global population than any other food, but the production, unfortunately, isn't great for the environment.  Apart from requiring massive amounts of water to grow, rice production emits significant amounts of methane and nitrous oxide, both not only greenhouse gases but ozone layer destroyers. On a hopeful note, since it is such a staple food in many parts of the world, rice-producing nations in Asia are investing in finding ways to mitigate water use and climate pollution.

    Quinoa is another crop that illustrates of the complexity of sustainable eating, because though it is supremely nutritious and it would be great if we could eat it ad libitum, it is a crop that relies on a non-colonial type of farming: grown in the Andean region of Bolivia, the best fertilizer for it comes from grazing llama’s. Because western demand has skyrocketed, the fertilizer from llamas is slowly being replaced by less effective commercial fertilizers in an attempt to free more land for quinoa production, leaving soil continuously more depleted. The extreme demand from the outside world has made quinoa, a staple of the Andean diet, a commodity that local farmers no longer feel they can afford to indulge into the same degree. 

    This situation is not decidedly bad, as it has a positive effect on the Bolivian economy, but it is a reminder that everything we eat is woven into a complicated tapestry of social and environmental factors, and we should calibrate our consumption of the foods we eat with the consequences that follow.
