• Micro Nutrients & Health Benefits

  Hair Health:

  This meal is rich in Vitamin B3 (Niacin), B12, and Zinc, which are essential for strong and healthy hair. Vitamin B12 helps oxygen reach hair follicles, promoting growth, while Zinc supports keratin production and reduces hair shedding. The healthy fats from olive oil and poultry seasoning help maintain scalp hydration, preventing dryness and breakage.

  Skin Health:

  A combination of Vitamin A, B3, and Phosphorus contributes to glowing skin. Vitamin A aids in skin regeneration, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, while Vitamin B3 enhances moisture retention and protects against sun damage. Phosphorus, found in chicken, helps in cell repair, maintaining a youthful appearance.

  Good source of:

  • Vitamin B3 (Niacin): Supports energy production, circulation, and skin moisture (from chicken and cabbage).
  • Vitamin B12: Vital for red blood cell formation and nerve function (from chicken).

  • Vitamin C: Essential for collagen production, the immune system, and iron absorption.

  • Vitamin A: Promotes cell regeneration and supports immune function (from cabbage).
  • Zinc: Strengthens the immune system and aids in wound healing (from chicken).
  • Phosphorus: Supports bone and muscle health, aiding recovery from physical activity (from chicken and mustard).
