Our certified organic B-Grade maple Syrup from Canada has been re-packaged in PET bottles. The new, lightweight bottle (see picture) has allowed us to provide a full 500ml of syrup.
Previously packaged in glass, the syrup which, like honey is incredibly heavy (500ml = 675g) - if you remember high school science, it’s called specific gravity - and was often damaged in transit . We were forced to reduce the amount in each bottle to 500g.
With the new bottle, that problem has been solved.
Did you know maple syrup is the least-processed – and therefore the most natural – of all sugars; Tapped from the maple tree, the sweet sap is boiled to remove excess moisture. That’s it!
Our mineral-rich B-Grade syrup is proving extremely popular because of the growing interest in the Mastercleanse diet/detox, a 10-day programme relying exclusively on a hot drink made from maple syrup, lemon and cayenne.
June 25: Since we introduced Brazilian Acai (ah-sigh-ee) powder into SA some years ago, there has been a steady growth in interest in the health benefits of this Amazon superfruit, which sits at the very pinnacle of the anti-oxidant rankings.
Acai is an expensive commodity; the cost of securing certified organic supplies was always prohibitive, so we were reluctantly forced to import non-organic product in order to establish a market for the superfruit.
Recently we were fortunate to make direct contact with an Eco-Cert approved supplier of organic acai in Brazil at a price point that made sense, and so we are now pleased to advise that we have switched to pure, organic acai.
The organic acai has been freeze-dried (the most effective way to preserve the nutrients and anti-oxidant properties of the fruit). It has a rich, deep purple in colour, reflecting its natural, minimally-processed pedigree. There are zero additives or preservatives.
We are also introducing new simplified packaging/labelling for our organic acai powder (still a 100g pack).
June 20: We’ve added McNab’s new raw-food Energy Bars to our catalogue. These innovative pressed-fruit bars are available in 3 flavours:
* African Cocoa & Limpopo Ginger
* Cape Orchard & Wild Baobab
* Red Apple & Zanzibar Spices
Ingredients include dates, pears, peanut butter, oats, inulin, fruit concentrates and spices. No added sugars/sweeteners.
McNab’s Energy Bars are packed in attractive counter-top display shippers (12 X 40g bars per shipper) and are excellent value at a recommended retail price of R10 per bar.
May 15: Imported from the UK, multiple award-winning Jackson Reece Herbal Wipes offer parents a natural, healthier alternative.
Jackson Reece’s unique organic/herbal formula soothes and protects against common skin irritations such as nappy rash and eczema, and contains none of the harsh ingredients that can potentially damage delicate skin. (We believe that delicate newborn skin should not be exposed to any new products until babies are one month old.)
Jackson Reece wipes are available in family packs (72 wipes) and also in travel packs (10 flushable wipes) from Absolute Organix.
Features of Jackson Reece wipes:
• Contains certified Organic Aloe Vera, naturally hydrating, healing & cooling
• Contains certified Organic Tea Tree Oil, naturally antibacterial
• Contains Certified Organic Lavender Essential Oil, soothing and calming (more…)

Capture the power of the sun with Garden of Life’s Perfect Food Raw, packed with 35 nutrient-dense, organically-grown greens, sprouts and vegetable juices.
Imported from the US, Perfect Food Raw is whole-food nutrition, providing naturally-occurring anti-oxidants, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and dozens of phytonutrients. It’s also bursting with prebiotics, probiotics and enzymes to support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption.
What Goes into Perfect Food Raw?
Young cereal grass juices (gluten-free) such as Barley, Alfalfa, Oat, Wheat, and Kamut are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. They are loaded with chlorophyll and trace minerals for energy and support for healthy blood sugar levels.
Each serving of Perfect Food Raw contains over 17 nutrient-dense cereal grass and veggie juices that are freeze-dried using a gentle process that maintains nutrient potency and freshness …
Excess acidity is a key underlying factor in many chronic ailments, from gout and kidney stones to obesity, arthritic and heart conditions, diabetes and even cancer.
Shifting one’s diet towards more alkaline foods such as green vegetables, increasing one’s intake of pure water and taking mineral supplements are all important strategies for reducing excess acidity and restoring the body’s pH balance.
Health Matrix now makes it even easier to counter excess acidity with our new pH-Plus alkalizing bath soak. pH-Plus combines two of Nature’s most powerful alkaline minerals – magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate – with pristine Kalahari crystal salt containing over 60 minerals and trace elements.
Just add 100g (5 scoops) of pH-Plus to a hot bath and soak in it for at least 20 minutes for maximum benefit. The result: a deeply relaxing, alkalizing experience.
Health Matrix pH Plus is exclusively distributed by Absolute Organix. The recommended retail price is R80 inc for a 600g tub, enough for 6 alkalizing baths.
The latest “superfood” buzz these days is around Chia seed, once a staple among the Aztecs of ancient Mexico.
Chia is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and is also an exceptional source of soluble fibre that can be of great help to people with digestive problems. In many ways it is comparable to flax seed and in fact the two are highly synergistic.
Garden of Life, America’s leading wholefood supplement company, brings together all the benefits of organic Chia and Flax seed in SuperSeed, a whole-food formula with ingredients chosen for their ability to support and maintain optimal bowel health and function
SuperSeed is a blend of organic Chia and Flax, sprouted grains and legumes containing both soluble and insoluble fiber plus a broad-spectrum of probiotics.
SuperSeed delivers naturally-occurring Omega-3 fatty acids from Chia and Flax.
It’s super-delicious too – sweetened with stevia and flavoured with organic cinnamon.
SuperSeed and other Garden of Life products are exclusively distributed in South Africa by Absolute Organix.
Purple Protein
NOTE: This product has been rebranded and is sold as Lifematrix Purple Protein Powder. Click here for more info
Introducing Health Matrix Purple Protein, a potent blend of bio-active hydrolysed collagen with anti-oxidant rich Amazon acai extract.
Collagen is a key protein in the body that ensures cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of skin, cartilage and bone and is thus an excellent supplement for people with osteoporosis and arthritic conditions.
In addition, hydrolysed collagen has powerful anti-ageing properties – it helps the skin to remain firm and youthful. It is a true “beauty from within” solution.
Purple Protein uses only the highest quality, clinically trialled Peptan™ collagen, manufactured in France. It is a high purity, natural bioactive product containing more than 90% (dry weight) protein that can be easily taken (simply stir into water or add to a smoothie) and digested by the human body.
The collagen in Purple Protein contains 20 amino-acids, mainly glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. The glycine and proline concentration is 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins. This very specific composition of amino-acids provides Purple Protein with-functional benefits especially for joint and bone health.
Purple Protein is available in 400g tubs (a month’s supply) exclusively from Absolute Organix. The recommended retail price is R210.00 (inc).
Our B Grade Certifie
d Organic Maple Syrup from Canada is more than just a deliciously pure, all-natural, silky-sweet treat. It’s also a source of minerals such as manganese, zinc, calcium (15 times that of honey) and potassium.
Harvested from red and black maple trees, our organic Maple Syrup also contains malic acid which boosts metabolism and aids with heavy metal removal.
Grade B Maple Syrup (which is richer in minerals because it is harvested later in the season) is a core ingredient of the popular Master Cleanse detox plan.
It’s available in 500g glass bottles.
New products from Holle, world leader in organic infant nutrition and exclusively distributed in SA by Absolute Organix:
Organic Baby Tea
This herbal infusion has been developed to provide a settling and soothing effect on baby’s tummy. The tea-bags contain a certified organic blend of fennel, aniseed, caraway and chamomile. Unsweetened.
Organic Baby Spelt Rusks
Holle’s spelt rusks are the perfect teething biscuit and snack for babies. Made from Demeter-certified (the highest organic standard) spelt, these unsweetened – but very yummy – rusks can be used by babies from 6 months (adults will love them too!)
Parents of lactose-intolerant infants, or infants with cow’s milk protein allergy, often wonder if their baby might benefit by switching to goat’s milk formula.
While goat’s milk is not lactose-free, it does contain less lactose than cow’s milk and its protein content is less allergenic and more easily digested in a baby’s tummy.
Goat’s milk also has a different fat make-up when compared to cow’s milk, which many babies are more easily able to digest.
Holle, Europe’s leading producer of certified organic infant formulas and baby foods, offers a superior quality organic goat’s milk formula (for infants from six months).
The Holle range is exclusively distributed in SA by Absolute Organix.

We’re often asked about the difference between the various green food powders on the market and how our own product, Garden of Life Perfect Food, stacks up against the competition.
Bottom line is there’s a huge nutritional difference between green foods made from cereal grasses and those made from the juice of these grasses, which might explain why Perfect Food has been the No 1 green food in the US for several years.
In this article, Garden of Life founder Jordan Rubin explores the benefits of green food nutrition and suggests what you should look for in a real green “superfood”.

We’re launching our Omega oils range in new “mini” 250ml bottles at the Natural and Organic Show at the Northgate Dome in Jo’burg this weekend.
Initial feedback from a group of trial customers is that the mini bottles (half the size of our standard 500ml bottles) will be welcomed by consumers.
All four of Absolute Organix’s liquid omegas – Organic Flax, Omega 3:6:9, Omega Sport and Omega Slim - are available in the new mini bottles, which offer a number of benefits:
Fresher: We believe the 250ml glass bottle is the optimum size for Omega oils because it keeps the oil fresher. Each time you open a bottle of Omega-3 oil, the delicate essential fats are exposed to oxygen which promotes rancidity. By packaging the oil in smaller bottles, we reduce the number of times the bottle is opened and closed. So the oil stays fresher, healthier.
No wastage: Although customers are encouraged to take Omega oils every day, many clients do not manage to finish the 500ml bottle within the 8 week use-after-opening date, and thus land up wasting the oil. These are expensive products to waste! With the 250ml bottle, clients are much more likely to finish the bottle well within the use-by period.
Affordable: In this tight economy, Omega oils in smaller bottles just makes more financial sense for cash-strapped consumers. At half the price of the 500ml bottles, the 250ml bottles reduce purchase resistance – and should also encourage sampling.
With so many vitamins made from synthetic chemicals that the body hardly recognises, that tired old criticism from the orthodox medical fraternity that vitamin supplements are nothing but expensive urine is a lot close
r to the bone than many would like to admit.
So what does it take to make a truly great multi-vitamin the really delivers on its promise of lifting micro-nutrient levels and strengthening immunity?
Click here to find out how Garden of Life does it with its Living Multi, which concentrates almost 80 organic wholefoods into a nutrient powerhouse that delivers:
* 200% of the Daily Value of Vitamin A
* 50% of the Daily Value of Vitamin D
* 150% of the Daily Value of Vitamin E
* 150% of the Daily Value of Vitamin C
* 800% of the Daily Value of Vitamin B12
… and a whole lot more.

We’re pleased to introduce a superb new range of imported, premium organic teas, Qi Tea, as well as a locally-produced organic rooibos/greenbosch range from Cedarlife.
The beautifully-packaged Qi (pronounced “chee”) range (25 individually sealed tea bags per box) are refreshing, healthy teas packed with real fruit and herbs.
Qi teas are bought direct from a co-operative of independent farmers, and are certified organic and Fairtrade. Only the very best spring-harvested, high-altitude Chinese teas are selected for the Qi range.
The Cedarlife range is blended from organic rooibos and greenbosch (green rooibos which is an even richer source of anti-oxidants). The range includes Greenbosch & Chamomile, Greenbosch and Peppermint, Greenbosch and Hoodia, Greenbosch and Buchu, to name a few. Cedarlife teas comes in two pack sizes (20 and 40 teabags).
We’ve just launched an organic Flax Oil of exceptional quality at an excellent price.
It follows the recent installation of a brand-new oil press at our plant in Jo’burg (We are a certified organic processor of nutritional oils by Germany’s BCS Oko).
The new oil complements our range of Omega blends (see image) and indeed forms the basis of these superior products.
We press our flax oil at no higher than 40 degrees Centigrade, the European standard for cold-pressing. To do this, our press turns at a leisurely 20-25 revolutions a minute; the oil drips (very) slowly out of the press, producing a “flaxtastic” health-giving nectar.
Our press is linked directly to a centrifuge which filters the oil by spinning it at high speed (zero heat), producing a golden, nutrient-rich oil of exceptional purity. This enables us to bottle our Fax Oil sooner, so it’s fresher and healthier (more…)
Absolute Organix is pleased to announce the re-introduction of SMARTFISH into SA.
Manufactured by Pharmalogica in Norway, SMARTFISH is a marine oil supplement made from high quality, fresh salmon oil rich in Omega-3s – but without any fishy taste, smell or those repeating fish burps that make youngsters dread taking this vital “brain food”.
The new SMARTFISH sachets contain a potent blend of Omega-3 fatty acids in a smoothe, creamy emulsion sweetened with Xylitol and natural lemon and apricot flavours – it really does taste good.
To prove the great taste of SMARTFISH, we’ll send you a free sample. Please email us: info@absoluteorganix.co.za
From taste to texture to packaging, SMARTFISH has been designed to make it easy for young people to take their daily Omega 3s.
One sachet of SMARTFISH provides a complete daily dose of Omega 3s, delivering 180mg of DHA and 160mg of EPA from molecular-distilled salmon oil. The sachets ensure freshness and potency of the delicate Omega 3 oils by excluding oxygen and light.
Smartfish is available in tubs of 30 sachets.
Ever wondered where krill and then fish get their Omega-3s from? Well, it all starts with micro-algae, the original source of these health-giving essential fatty acids.
Absolute Organix Omega Pure is the only Omega-3 supplement containing the long chain Omega-3s, DHA and EPA, derived from micro-algae – and a new enhanced formulation of Omega Pure is now available.
Improvements in the cold extraction process have enabled our UK partners to not only increase the concentration of Essential Fats but also to reduce the dosage from 3 to 2 capsules. The new formulation delivers 400mg of ultra-pure DHA (87.5%) and EPA.
Omega Pure is an excellent source of DHA for pregnant and breast-feeding mothers because the algae from which the oil is extracted have been grown under pristine conditions in ponds completely free of any ocean contaminants like mercury and dioxins.
The cold-extraction of the oil means that the nutrient quality and bio-availability of the Essential Fats in Omega Pure is of the highest order.
Omega Pure is also a perfect source of DHA/EPA for Vegans/vegetarians and is approved by the Vegan societies of the UK and SA.
Available in glass bottles of 60 vegecaps (a month’s supply).
Our Raw Vegan Protein powder has been approved by the Vegan Society of South Africa. Find out more about a Vegan lifestyle by visiting www.vegansociety.co.za
Meantime, demand for our protein powder has been growing fast and we’ve now in
troduced a 1kg tub in addition to the original 400g pack.
Made from organic, sprouted brown rice fermented using an all-natural enzyme process, the silky-smoothe powder contains all the essential amino acids in a high-potency 80% protein concentrate.
Soy-free, gluten-free and dairy-free, it’s an easy to digest hypoallergenic protein source for vegetarians/vegans as others with dietary restrictions. It’s also a great protein source for athletes, even those hard-core meat-eaters and whey addicts!
The new 1kg tub of Raw Vegan Protein is excellent value at a recommended retail price of R250 incl – the price per gram is approx 20% less than the 400g tub.

Used successfully by doctors for a century, Iodine is an effective and safe natural antibiotic, a powerful anti-cancer (especially breast and prostate) agent, and a potent heavy metal detox tool. There is growing evidence that Iodine deficiency is increasing and is linked to a number of chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity, as well as certain heart ailments. Despite this the medical establishment today fears Iodine and shuns it as downright dangerous. However, a small group of medical specialists believe that Iodine should return to its rightful place in the natural medicine chest.
Our Lugol’s Iodine solution is now available.
Click here to read Bruce Cohen’s blog on why Iodine deserves a fresh look.
NEW PRODUCT
Absolute Organix’s new Raw Vegan Protein (RVP) powder is a true Superfood for the 21st Century. It’s made from GMO-free organic sprouted brown rice, and what’s in the tub is 80% pure protein. It’s silky smooth with an amino acid profile close to mother’s milk and is ideal for vegetarians and those with dairy and gluten allergies or other dietary restrictions.
Our rice protein is made using an all-natural process of fermentation, filtration and enzymatic processing that consumes the fats and carbohydrates in the rice and leaves just the protein behind (plus a little fibre).
With over 12g of protein per 15g serving, Absolute Organix Raw Vegan Protein has a superior amino acid profile – it contains all nine essential amino acids – making it an excellent alternative to whey and soy proteins.
