What triggered the founding of WelleCo?
I've always been fascinated by the idea of combining health and beauty through the use of pure natural and herbal ingredients. When I turned 50 in 2014, I gave myself the gift of founding WelleCo. I wanted to share my alkaline powder of green vitamins and minerals, which I had been taking for years and developed by a nutrition expert - by the way, this mixture is exactly the same in Super Elixir. At the same time I was training my knowledge in plant based nutrition and I learned a lot about the power of the body to heal itself when it gets what it needs. And this is also part of WelleCo's corporate credo: Strengthening people to positively influence their own health.
What makes WelleCo unique?
Our formulations are developed by nutrition experts who take great care to find the optimal blend of high-quality plant-based active ingredients that can be easily absorbed by the body and nourish the body's different systems from the inside out. If the body is nourished right down to the cells, new cells can form better and harmful substances can be bound and excreted.
What else can we do to support our body and its systems?
Sleep is essential for me and should play an important role for everyone. Drinking enough water is of course also part of this. I drink three litres throughout the day. In addition - even if it sounds clichéd - sun, fresh air, sport and laughter help.
How do you integrate WelleCo products into your daily diet?
I start my daily routine with two teaspoons of Super Elixir, which I put into filtered water. With the Sleep Wave Calming Tea I celebrate a little bedtime ritual to get to sleep easier.
Can we start the year with some kind of Super Elixir Detox program?
Yes, we even always call for a challenge. It's simple: Take two teaspoons of Super Elixir daily for 30 days and document what happens to your body and skin - that's it. Our customers keep telling us how great the challenge is to make it a habit. This also shows how much you can achieve with just a small change.
Do you still have a very personal WelleCo tip for us?
I love all products for what they are. But when I know that I'm out in the morning, I always make a smoothie out of the Nourishing Plant Protein, Peruvian chocolate, filtered water and half an avocado. The protein powder contains brown rice and pea protein. They give me a real energy boost, have a satiating effect until lunchtime and my stomach stays flat.
