You’ve probably heard of the six essential nutrients in our daily diet:

Carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water.
These form the foundation of basic nutrition as we know it.

But did you know?
In recent years, nutrition science has been paying increasing attention to a group of plant-based compounds that, while not essential for survival, play a powerful behind-the-scenes role in supporting metabolism and overall health.

These are known as the “Seventh Nutrient” — Phytonutrients.

🌿 What Are Phytonutrients?

Also called phytochemicals or plant-based active compounds, phytonutrients are functional substances that plants naturally produce during their growth cycle.

Common examples include:

• Polyphenols
• Carotenoids
• Anthocyanins
• Flavonoids
• Organosulfur compounds

These beneficial compounds are found in vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, and nuts.
Though they don't provide calories like protein or fat, they offer potential health benefits such as:

• Antioxidant protection
• Anti-inflammatory support
• Blood sugar regulation
• Metabolism enhancement

While not classified as “essential” nutrients, phytonutrients play a critical role in chronic disease prevention, cellular repair, and immune defense.

As we embraced a whole-food, plant-based approach, we began to realize just how many of these functional nutrients could be thoughtfully integrated into our daily routines—without complexity, without pressure.

This philosophy lies at the heart of eimele, a brand born in Australia that champions clinically formulated functional nutrition. Each product isn’t built on trends or buzzwords, but on real science: on understanding how phytonutrients actually work in the body and designing solutions that are effective, sustainable, and seamlessly fit into real life.

• Green Coffee Bean: High in chlorogenic acid, retaining key plant actives

• Reducose® Mulberry Leaf Extract (1-DNJ): Helps regulate carbohydrate absorption

• Morosil® Moro Blood Orange Polyphenols: Naturally rich in anthocyanins and flavonoids to rebalance dietary intake
