Botancials
New Zealand’s botanicals have developed their own defensive mechanisms to survive and thrive in the harsh New Zealand environment. They do this by producing very high levels of antioxidants such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, and phytoestrogens. These act as ‘plant sunscreens’, providing protection for the plants against UV radiation.
