New Baobab Superfood Supplement: powbab!

I started out as a blogger about healthy food and healthy relationships back in 2009, and can't believe that the years have flown by.  But, as I started out looking for my passions in life, I have discovered that healthy living and healthy eating are what I love and have become passions of mine.  Wholly mine.  I desire so much to be healthy.  Without good health, I cannot enjoy this life or the fruit of my labor.

So, with my past posts on Baobab and More About the Baobab Tree, I have become seriously convinced about eating superfood, and baobab is at the top of my list.  I have made it into a supplement - and my brand is called powbab.  The product is the baobab superfruit chew.

Many people have tried the chews - and really like it!  It has fruity and tangy.  Chewy and natural tasting.  Each chew delivers 100% of your antioxidant needs, Vitamins C, E & A, and is way better than other synthetic immunity brands out there.  The raw and unprocessed fruit make a difference.  I take them traveling, eat them when I am busy, and like how convenient they are.

powbab is more than just a product - it is an extension of how a person found her life in hopes of helping the world become a healthier, happier and a more whole place.  Pursue your dreams, don't give up when times get tough. You never know what might happen if you can just hang in there and don't stop believing.

More on the Baobab Tree and Fruit

The baobab tree is an unusual tree found in Africa.  Perhaps the next big touted superfood, which is why it has peaked my interest.  From a healthy food perspective, baobab is a mainstay in the local African's diet, and has interesting medicinal purposes that people use it for in that part of the world (discussed further in this post).


Over generations, many names have been given to this mystical, HUGE tree.  In the desert, people can even stay inside the tree for shelter, at the base of the tree.  Adansonias trees can reach heights of 5 to 30 meters (16 to 98 ft) and have trunk diameters of 7 to 11 meters (23 to 36 ft).  20+ feet diameter for a trunk?!  The typical common name for this tree is baobab.  However, it also possesses other names including boab, boaboa, bottle tree, tree of life, upside-down tree, and monkey bread tree.  The generic name honours Michel Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described A. digitata.

In terms of medicinal purposes, the ancient Egyptians used it for treating fevers, dysentery and bloody wounds. For generations in Africa, Baobab is often given as a calming agent for those with a fever, but is also used to combat diarrhea, dysentery, small pox, and measles.  My friend who is from Togo says that her mom uses it as part of the post pregnancy recovery diet.  The baobab, like many other cultural traditional medicines, have been 'tested' by humans for 1000s of years.  No current day 'clincial' study can match that kind of dataset!

When talking about baobab fruit's nutrition, it seriously beats out most fruits that we eat in the US.  Baobab has 5x more potassium than bananas.  3x more antioxidants than blueberries.  Baobab is high in antioxidants, which slows oxidative damage and helps decrease inflammation.  It also has 2.5x more calcium than milk.  Baobab is super high in dietary fiber, especially pectins.  Half of the fruit is fiber.
