As we get closer to winter, noses may be getting a little bit stuffy, and throats a little bit tickly. Luckily, we have Matakana SuperFoods right here in Rodney, and their products contain the vitamins and minerals you need to stay well this winter. 

Matakana SuperFoods is a world leader in the research and marketing of new foods from New Zealand and around the globe that contain unique qualities and super-nutrients to support health and wellbeing.

They have a huge range of different products, all with properties to help your body heal and be its best. You can support your immune system by incorporating one of their nutrient-dense super powders to your daily smoothie, breakfast bowl or baking. Or try their super capsules, for a quick way to support your health on a daily basis.

Nutrients from a range of healthy foods are needed as your body fights an infection. The important things to get into your body are vitamins A, B, C, D and E and the minerals iron, zinc and selenium. These micronutrients play important roles in the immune system. 

Vitamin A and zinc help to maintain the integrity of the skin and lining of vital organs and the respiratory system, vitamin B12 and iron are also essential for the production of haemoglobin which carries oxygen in the blood. Vitamin C, E and selenium help to control inflammation. 

Their website (https://www.matakanasuperfoods.com/) also has heaps of recipes to make it easy to get some goodness by incorporating more superfoods into your diet.
