The Top 5 Health Trends Set To Blow Up In 2019
Elderberries
Though elderberry has taken more of a back seat in the health industry in recent years, the super-berry has recently gained it’s status as the ultimate flu-fighter. Whilst many health conscious warriors are always on the lookout for natural alternatives to fight the flu, elderberry is packed with anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory and flu-fighting nutrients.

Bakuchiol
Good news for sensitive skin! Skin-care formulas are about to get a little kinder and a lot less irritating. Most skin-care products are formulated with the Vitamin A extract retinol, to help boost collagen and minimize wrinkles. However bakuchiol, which is extracted from the bakuchi seed, is fast taking its place as the natural, gentler and vegan alternative choice.
