They contain more citric acid, calcium, iron and phosphorus and twice as much proteins any other fruit. Ume is also rich in other organic acids and minerals, which help to maintain good health. Plum is also known for its anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects. Japanese Ume is bigger, rounder and richer in nutrients compared to the Chinese and Taiwanese varieties.
Nature’s Glory Plum Balls come from the concentrated juice of Japanese Ume, harvested when the acid content is at its highest. The plums are boiled to form thick syrup that yields a concentrated extract 30 times stronger than the fruit itself. It is combined with Wild Japanese Mountain Yam (Jinenjo), a digestive aid to increase potency of plum balls. One fresh plum of 25g makes two plum balls.

Because plum is known as the “king of alkaline food”, I usually suck NG's plum balls before and after my workout to boost my energy level and to break down the lactic acid produced during the workout.

Honey Lemon Aloe Vera Juice
1. freshly squeezed lemon as desired
2. 2 teaspoons of aloe vera juice
3. 1 teaspoon of manuka honey
4. half cup of cool water
5. half cup of hot water
2. 2 teaspoons of aloe vera juice
3. 1 teaspoon of manuka honey
4. half cup of cool water
5. half cup of hot water
This is our daily morning dose, before we start our body engine to consume anything else. Lemon is rich in vitamin C and has lots of health benefits. I can stomach up to 15 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice with a cup of warm water without the need of adding any honey. The boys, however, can't. So for them, they will only have 2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice with 1 teaspoon of honey. Since now I have superfood Aloe Vera Juice from NG, I added 2 teaspoons for each of them.
There are indeed many goodness you can find in Nature's Glory. It is a company we trust when it comes to organic produce/products. You can buy their products in their retail shop or online.
