Additionally, the products are rich in fiber, which enriches the body with vitamins and minerals and helps lower blood cholesterol levels.

The products also contain flaxseed and coconut oils. Flaxseed oil has antioxidant properties and contains essential Omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and blood vessel health. Coconut oil, in turn, helps normalize digestion and strengthens immunity.
