Store open 9-5pm Mon-Sat during lockdown www.eatsofeden.ie

1. MULTINUTRIENT COMPLEX

Cillín says: “I love Terra Nova Living Multinutrient Complex, not only for all the essential vitamins and minerals it contains but also for the excipients it doesn’t. I like my food free from nasty chemicals as much as possible so it makes sense to me that my supplements should be no different. The vitamins and minerals here are in a highly bioavailable form, which keeps me in tip top shape to run our busy little health food store and lift kettlebells.”

2. ENERGY AND IMMUNE BOOSTER

Marie says: “Both Cillín and I are busy running Eats of Eden and our other business, Functional Kettlebell Conditioning. We like to work hard and workout even harder, so I need a strong, energising multinutrient to keep my mental and physical energy going. I take Revive Active because it mixes easily, tastes great and is effective.”

3. SPORTS MULTIVITAMIN

Teresa says: “I’ve recently taken up TRX (total resistence suspension training) and running and felt like I needed a little extra nutritional support to maintain energy and motivation. So I started taking Terra Nova Living Multivitamin Sport. I really like the magnifood blend that is used in this multi. I find the combination of Siberian ginseng, reishi and cordyceps gives me a gentle uplift without being too over-stimulating.”

4. IRISH KIMCHI

Cillín says: “Life without kimchi would be a very sad life indeed. It’s crunchy, hot, sweet and delicious with just the right amount of sour. I love The Cultured Food Company Raw Sauerkraut Kimchi with fish, rice and nori seaweed sheets - yum! I love the fact that it’s made in Ireland.”

5. MOISTURISER

Marie says: “Lifting kettlebells keeps my body in good shape, but a girl has to look after her face too! Dr Maher’s Absolute 54 Moisturiser is a clean, chemical-free cream with omega 3 essential fatty acids. Since I began using it my skin is noticeably smoother and firmer with a visible reduction in fine lines. Made in Ireland.”

6. CHEWABLE VITAMIN B12

Teresa sys: “I’m not a big fan of eating red meat and never really gave it too much thought, until I noticed my hair starting to thin and become brittle. I began taking Solgar’s chewable Vitamin B12, 1000ug, and found that after 12 weeks my hair had improved dramatically and my energy levels also picked up.”
