It’s Healthy Stuff!

Kale also contains Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Iron and Phosphorus, etc, etc, etc … If I were to tell you all the health benefits of kale I would be writing for hours.

How We Make Kale Perfect!
Perfect Supplements understands the nutritional benefits of kale, and has developed a product that actually makes kale healthier and easier to consume! Fermented foods provide beneficial bacteria (probiotics) which can do wonders for gut health and may even improve mental health. Fermentation increases the nutrient density of healthy food by providing beneficial probiotics, enzymes, B vitamins, and a rare and important nutrient known as vitamin K2. Fermenting often improves digestion and nutrient absorption. Perfect Supplements took kale to the next level by fermenting it with organic black strap molasses and live vegan cultures. One Serving of Perfect Fermented Kale Contains:
- 9 Calories 1654 IU Vitamin A
- 22mg of Vitamin C
- 25mg of Calcium
- 83mg of Potassium
- 20% Protein by Weight
- 12% Fiber by Weight
- 46.14mcg Vitamin K
