Coconut oil or coconut fat is my most favorite natural product. It is a true miracle cure. Everyone should have a jar of coconut oil in their pantry and bathroom. It is an ideal fat for frying and it is also extremely healthy for body and limb.

Coconut oil or coconut fat is a saturated fat that is good for you because it consists largely of medium-chain fatty acids. This structure actually reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Most fats have long-chain fatty acids that are stored as fat depots. Medium-chain fatty acids produce energy.”

Coconut oil raises your inner thermostat, which speeds up metabolism and burns more fat and calories. In addition, coconut oil has a positive effect on your blood sugar level, on fungal infections and even on your thyroid gland, because it increases the release of thyroid hormones. Good new for people who – just like me – suffer from a slow thyroid. Consuming coconut oil balances the other hormones (and helps with menopause).

Coconut oil is a lot more expensive than a carton of butter, but I think it’s well worth the higher price given the long list of benefits.

We all know that refined sugar is not good for you. Your blood sugar will spike, which will only make you crave sweets. Your hormones get really upset after prolonged consumption and it is bad for your skin and teeth. And because refined sugar is an ’empty’ product (with no health value), it removes vitamins and minerals from your body.

Top 4 Natural Sweeteners from Nutrition Coach Amber Albarda.
Raw or cold-blown honey, coconut blossom sugar, maple syrup, and less recommended raw agave syrup.
Also fruit, medjool dates, lucuma powder and chocolate are among her sweet favorites.
“There are many alternatives to refined sugar. In fact, there are only a few natural sweeteners that are so close to nature that they are not only ‘not bad’ for you, but even have health benefits.”

Amanprana’s Gula Java is recommended for palm sugar. When purchasing, make sure that you buy 100% pure, organic coconut blossom sugar without additives. Some (cheaper) brands mix coconut blossom sugar with cane sugar and that is of course not desirable.

Did you know ? Coconut flour, in small quantities, is a tasty and healthy substitute for powdered sugar for decorating cakes. Smart.

I have been using Amanprana products for quite some time – I don’t want any other coconut oil anymore; they taste and smell completely different. For me, that difference is proof of quality.

Beautiful layout, tasty, nutritious ingredients! Thank you for bringing Amanprana to the market. My favourite? Gula Java Safran!

After a chin surgery many years ago (double fracture) I started having problems with my teeth at the bottom of the moved. After the discovery of the Amanprana mouth oil 4 to 7 months ago, there has been an incredible improvement. My teeth are firmer. The fact that the mouth oil has no fluorine is a big plus. I am very satisfied with the amanprana mouth oil and I wouldn’t go anywhere without it. The fennel works better for me personally than the mint. Congratulations and Thanks! Please, stay true to your principles!

At Christmas I baked a cake with coconut oil and coconut blossom sugar from Amanprana and walnuts for dessert. Delicious! Super simple too. My mother took three pieces…

Putting one or two drops of Schangri-la on your palms and massaging over your face is apparently more than enough. Your make-up will also stay on better. The serum smells wonderfully spicy and keeps its promises: smoother, well-perfused skin with a beautiful rosy hue. I did make an accidental discovery: the excess that was still on my hands, I squeezed into the ends of my hair. The result was soft hair, even after I washed it.

Normally I’m not into writing a review, but I’m so excited about using the Amanprana shaving oil that I want to let others know. I used to always use shaving soap. I have quite sensitive skin and was always critical of the shaving soap I used.
Because of Amanprana’s shaving oil, I actually never use the shaving soap I have anymore. Why? Because it is very pleasant to shave. I have never had a rash or irritation afterwards. And as a bonus, the scent is also very pleasant.
Also when traveling, taking shaving oil with you is much more convenient than shaving soap. In short, I recommend it to everyone.

The flavour is divine and gentle. You just need a little bit and all you have to do is stir until the tea is dissolved in the water. You can also add it to a smoothie or fruit juice or use it to enrich a dish. I love it best as a tea, as that allows me to truly enjoy its flavour.

The Kotobuki teas are a blessing to your body and I use all three. Matcha for focus, Earl Grey for enjoyment and Rooibos in the evening. They are of the very best quality, and I should know as I have spent years searching for the ultimate matcha. Kotobuki Matcha is greener, its taste more gentle, its fragrance more sublime and its nutritional value higher

Many believe that the benefits of omega-3 are much greater than those of omega-6. Nothing is less true. We need both but omega-6 at least twice as much.

Hermanos Catalán is irresistibly tasty and we use it as an olive oil dip with beautiful breads. A delicious extra virgin olive oil. Verde Salud olive oil is delicious with stir-frying and searing so that the flavor remains in the food.

Walnut oil is a delicious and easy to use oil. I mix walnut oil with balsamic vinegar to make a tasty vinaigrette for salads. Also tastes culinary over pasta with Grana Padano. My favorite is a cheese platter with baguettes drizzled with walnut oil from Amanprana. A dash of walnut oil enhances the flavors and also aids digestion.

Seaweed, herbs and sea salt are a rich source of minerals, in a natural and easily absorbable way. In balance and in the right proportion, as we need them.

I like Amanprana coconut flour. I use it in my smoothies as a fiber booster. My daughter is particularly happy because coconut flour is hypoallergenic. It contains no lactose, gluten and no known allergens.

Wheat germ is my favorite superfood because of its richness in betaine and alpha-lipoic acid. I prefer raw wheat germ from Amanprana.

I have been using Red Palm for my health for years. The thought of saving the rainforest’s biodiversity always makes me happy. I think of Gandhi’s wise words: ‘be the change you wish to see’.

I said goodbye to my organic margarine 5 years ago. Since then I spread extra virgin Cocos+Olive+Palm on my bread. So much tastier. So much healthier. I vary. And I combine all the goodness from coconut, olive and red palm oil. And… Amanprana is extra virgin, so not refined. I can’t say that about any margarine.

Every time I use Amanprana’s day oil, friends spontaneously say that I look so good and lively. The carotenes from the red palm oil clearly give a nice glow and complexion to my skin.

The twins are enthusiastic about Amanprana’s blue bottles. They visibly enjoy the massage and the subtle scent. I put a good splash of Babynero in their bath and don’t use soap. It provides extra protection and prevents dehydration. Happy babies, happy mama.

I shaved electrically, but that didn’t give a super smooth result. My skin was often red and irritated. A razor and Razoli was a huge improvement. Fast, smooth and no irritations

As a stage actress, I do a lot of makeup. I have tried several makeup cleansing products. They were either ineffective or too aggressive. They irritated my eyes and dried out my skin. Alana removes makeup without rubbing hard. This hypoallergenic formula is wonderfully soft. Thank you Amanprana. I don’t want anything else.

A better world starts with you. Glass is clean, reusable, hygienic, 100% recyclable, odorless and does not cause environmental damage. Glass is inert, ie it will not seep into your drink. So I use this ‘Eco Respekt’ drinking bottle. Thick glass, shock-absorbing and insulating cover made of recycled material, free from toxic metals.

The product I have chosen is ”Shangri-La”, because after a few drops on my hand I immediately got a feeling of well-being, it smells heavenly! The scent of the carefully selected ingredients is magical. I use it on my eye contour, in my neck, décolleté and hair. It has become an essential part of my morning and evening ritual. Cosmetics are like nourishment for your skin and Shangri-la is without a doubt the best, purest and most beautiful product on earth for those who are looking for it.

Rub as much Rudolf as needed on your chest, above your upper lip, on your neck and between your shoulder blades. I also sometimes dissolve it in my bath. A nice warm bath with some Rudolf in it! Another tip; don’t forget a line on the soles of your feet if you want a wonderful, relaxing night’s sleep. The pot itself is a black round pot with the cute Rudolf on it. I like it!

I use Babynero for a lot of different things. For starters, I smear my son with it when he gets out of the shower. I do this for 2 reasons; he has very sensitive skin and does not tolerate other products and he likes the oil because it absorbs quickly so he can put on his clothes faster.

I’ve been taking a cure for months with coconut oil from Amanprana (in a lubricant from Christian Opitz) – I think you can also only use about 3 tablespoons of coconut oil spread over the day – red palm oil and green smoothie (from Boutenko). I feel great about it and recommend it to everyone. I feel for the first time that something really works! My entire eating pattern has changed, the need for sweets, chips, etc. has completely disappeared. Fantastic!
