Welcome to essential 8 organics® …

We all know we should be eating more fresh fruit and vegetables as part of a healthy diet. Modern lifestyles can sometimes make this a challenge. We also know that ‘organic’ is better for us. Cost and convenience can make this difficult, too. Since when did good nutrition become a ‘luxury’?

To address these issues, the essential 8 organics® product range has been developed to help supplement a balanced diet & make good nutrition effective, convenient and affordable.

All ingredients are organic wherever possible and are certified by internationally recognised organic certifiers.  We continue to research and independently test our ingredients to ensure you are receiving the highest quality and the best value available.

What’s New?

The first two products in the range, essential 8 organics® super concentrate & essential 8 organics® with prebiotic inulin will be launched at this years Organic Expo ’09 being held at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne. The expo is being held over three days, 24th - 26th of July, 2009. (please note that Friday is ‘trade only’ day, while Saturday & Sunday are open to the general public). We can be found at Stall 51, come and say hello!
