Superfood powder
Açaí berry
Euterpe oleracea
A dark-purple fruit powder with a berry-like, gently earthy flavour.
Why customers choose it
- Adds concentrated colour and flavour to smoothies, yoghurt and breakfast bowls.
- Offers a shelf-stable, easy-to-measure alternative to frozen açaí pulp.
Good to know: Processing and added ingredients differ between products. VitaLuma’s product should be used according to its own label rather than assumptions about all açaí powders.
Botanical supplement ingredient
Ashwagandha (KSM-66)
Withania somnifera root extract
A standardised root extract used in VitaLuma’s daytime and evening formulations. Each labelled serving provides 600 mg KSM-66, standardised to 5% withanolides.
Guideline-aligned benefit
- Included in products formulated for everyday stress-support and emotional-wellbeing routines.
- The standardised extract provides a defined withanolide content, unlike an unspecified food powder.
Good to know: Botanical benefit claims require product-specific substantiation; they are not treated here as automatically permitted claims for every ashwagandha product. Follow the label and seek professional advice if pregnant, breastfeeding, using medicine or managing a condition.
Superfood powder
Barley grass
Hordeum vulgare
The young green leaves of the barley plant, harvested before the mature grain.
Why customers choose it
- A convenient single-ingredient green powder with a mild grassy taste.
- Can be mixed into cold water, smoothies or breakfast bowls, or used as part of the Super Greens blend.
Good to know: Composition varies with cultivar, growing conditions and processing. People who must avoid gluten should rely on product-specific allergen and cross-contact information.
Superfood powder
Beetroot
Beta vulgaris
A naturally earthy-sweet root powder whose red-purple colour comes mainly from betalain pigments.
Why customers choose it
- Adds colour and flavour to smoothies, yoghurt, oats, baking and savoury recipes.
- Provides a practical powdered format for measured everyday use.
Good to know: Naturally occurring nitrate and pigment levels vary. The ingredient’s general reputation should not be turned into a guaranteed athletic, blood-pressure or medical outcome without product-specific analysis and substantiation.
Superfood powder
Black maca
Lepidium meyenii
A dark colour type of maca root with a malty, nutty and earthy flavour.
Why customers choose it
- Adds distinctive flavour to smoothies, oats and warm drinks.
- A simple wholefood-style powder for customers who prefer maca as a culinary ingredient.
Good to know: Colour types, gelatinised powders and standardised extracts are not interchangeable. Research using a particular extract or dose does not prove the same outcome for a food powder.
Functional beverage
Blue matcha (butterfly pea)
Clitoria ternatea flower
Powdered butterfly pea flower. It is not made from the tea plant; “blue matcha” describes its powdered format and common preparation style.
Why customers choose it
- Creates naturally vivid blue drinks and baking without a tea-like bitterness.
- Its anthocyanin pigments shift towards purple or pink when acidity, such as lemon, is added.
- Pure butterfly pea powder does not naturally contain caffeine.
Good to know: Colour intensity varies naturally. This is presented as a beverage and culinary ingredient, not as a treatment or disease-prevention product.
Superfood powder
Goji berry
Lycium barbarum
A fruity, gently tart berry powder for drinks, breakfasts and baking.
Why customers choose it
- Adds goji flavour and colour without soaking or chopping dried berries.
- Easy to measure into smoothies, yoghurt, oats and recipes.
Good to know: A berry powder is not the same as a standardised extract. Goji can be relevant to medicine interactions; customers using medicine or managing a condition should ask a healthcare professional about suitability.
Functional beverage
Green matcha
Camellia sinensis
Finely milled green tea produced from shade-grown leaves that are steamed, dried and ground.
Why customers choose it
- The whole powdered tea leaf creates a fuller-bodied drink than an infusion.
- Works in water, milk-based lattes, smoothies and baking.
- Provides the characteristic vegetal, savoury matcha flavour.
Good to know: Green matcha naturally contains caffeine, and the amount varies by serving. “AA”, “ceremonial” and “culinary” are not universal regulatory grades, so compare origin, taste and intended use.
Health-supplement ingredient
L-Theanine
N-ethyl-L-glutamine
An amino-acid derivative naturally associated with tea. VitaLuma Calm Focus Day and Night Unwind each provide 200 mg per labelled serving.
Guideline-aligned benefit
- At 200 mg, the SAHPRA health-supplement guideline permits the wording “helps to support relaxation” or “helps to temporarily promote relaxation”.
- The library therefore uses relaxation support wording and does not extend the claim to treating anxiety or insomnia.
Good to know: The SAHPRA guideline lists maintenance of healthy sleep at a different level and with additional submission requirements; that claim is not applied here to VitaLuma’s 200 mg serving.
Functional beverage
Lion’s mane mushroom coffee
Coffee and lion’s mane mushroom blend
A coffee-style beverage that combines familiar café flavour with lion’s mane mushroom ingredients.
Why customers choose it
- Offers a convenient alternative to ordinary instant coffee for customers exploring functional-mushroom beverages.
- Can be served hot or iced with water or milk.
Good to know: Because it contains coffee, it contains caffeine. Research on isolated mushroom compounds is not proof that the finished beverage improves cognition or treats a medical condition.
Mineral supplement ingredient
Magnesium
Magnesium bisglycinate / chelate
A mineral supplied as magnesium bisglycinate/chelate. Rest & Recovery provides 200 mg elemental magnesium and Night Unwind provides 86 mg per labelled serving.
Guideline-aligned benefit
- At these labelled levels and forms, permitted low-risk wording includes contribution to normal nervous-system function, normal muscle function and normal electrolyte balance.
- Rest & Recovery may also state contribution to normal energy-yielding metabolism and reduction of tiredness and fatigue within the guideline framework.
Good to know: These are normal-function support claims, not claims to treat cramps, sleep disorders, deficiency or disease. Do not exceed the label dose.
Amino-acid supplement ingredient
NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine)
Source of L-cysteine
Each VitaLuma capsule contains 600 mg NAC and provides 436 mg L-cysteine. The label directs adults to take one to two capsules daily.
Guideline-aligned benefit
- Within the labelled one-to-two-capsule range, it provides a source of an amino acid involved in muscle protein synthesis—the low-risk role listed for L-cysteine sources in the SAHPRA guideline.
- The wording is deliberately narrower than common online claims about NAC.
Good to know: This page does not claim that NAC detoxifies, treats respiratory illness, protects the liver or prevents disease. Customers using medicine or managing a condition should seek professional advice.
Greens blend
Super Greens blend
12 plant ingredients
A blend of barley grass, wheatgrass, spirulina, moringa, kale, spinach, chlorella, broccoli, alfalfa, parsley, matcha and ginger.
Why customers choose it
- Brings grasses, leafy greens, algae and botanicals together in one measured scoop.
- A convenient smoothie, juice or water addition for customers wanting more plant-ingredient variety in their routine.
Good to know: A greens powder complements rather than replaces the variety, fibre and eating experience of vegetables, fruit, legumes and other whole foods. It contains matcha and is therefore not automatically caffeine-free.
Functional beverage
Turmeric latte blend
Turmeric-led golden beverage
A ready-to-mix blend of turmeric, coconut milk powder, cinnamon, ginger, MCT powder, black pepper and vanilla.
Why customers choose it
- Creates a smooth, warming golden latte without measuring several separate spices.
- A naturally caffeine-free alternative to coffee when prepared according to the label.
Good to know: This is described through its ingredients, taste and use. It is not presented as an anti-inflammatory treatment or as a remedy for pain or disease.
Superfood powder
Ube purple yam
Dioscorea alata
A purple yam powder with a gently earthy-sweet flavour. Ube is not the same plant as taro.
Why customers choose it
- Adds natural purple colour and ube flavour to lattes, oats, baking and desserts.
- A convenient pantry format for measured recipe use.
Good to know: Natural colour varies by crop and processing. Follow the product’s preparation directions because ube powders can differ in whether they are raw, cooked or otherwise formulated.
Vitamin supplement ingredient
Vitamin B6
Pyridoxine hydrochloride
Rest & Recovery provides 5 mg elemental pyridoxine per labelled serving.
Guideline-aligned benefit
- At the labelled level, permitted low-risk wording includes contribution to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal nervous-system function.
- It may also be described as contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal immune function within the SAHPRA framework.
Good to know: These are normal physiological support claims, not treatment claims. More is not necessarily better; follow the labelled serving.
Superfood powder
Wheatgrass
Triticum aestivum
The young green shoots of the wheat plant, harvested as grass rather than mature grain.
Why customers choose it
- A convenient single-ingredient powder with a fresh, grassy flavour.
- Can be mixed into cold water or smoothies, or used as part of the Super Greens blend.
Good to know: Cultivar, harvest and processing affect composition. Anyone who must avoid gluten should use product-specific allergen and testing information rather than relying only on the plant’s growth stage.
Mineral supplement ingredient
Zinc
Zinc glycinate
Rest & Recovery provides 15 mg elemental zinc from zinc glycinate per labelled serving.
Guideline-aligned benefit
- At the labelled level and form, permitted low-risk wording includes contribution to the maintenance of normal immune function.
- The SAHPRA framework also permits normal skin and connective-tissue support wording, but this library keeps the summary focused on the product’s primary role.
Good to know: This is an immune-function support claim, not a claim to prevent or cure infections. Follow the label and avoid combining multiple high-dose zinc products without professional advice.
