Benefits

SUPERFOOD. Forget everything you think you know about that word and let us tell you OUR story of nutritional craftsmanship. We started with an ancient fruit seed that has almost completely disappeared from modern agriculture (but we’re bringing it back!): Himalayan Tartary buckwheat, or HTB. The HTB plant contains an extraordinary phytonutrient portfolio, and many of its constituents—quercetin and hesperidin, for example—are linked to immune function benefits. HTB flour is our base, and to it we added select ingredients, including 2-HOBA (2-hydroxybenzylamine) and the nutrient β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid (HMB). Lastly, we sought out—and found!—a delicious, high quality, and nutritionally complete protein base comprised of pea, rice, and amino acids. Overall, Big Bold Health’s HTB Rejuvenate™ Advanced Protein Shake Mix is a formula unlike any other. Use it as either as a meal replacement or as supplemental nutrition for your unique approach to resilience and healthy eating.

Ingredient Stories

  • A BIG BOLD HEALTH EXCLUSIVE!
    HIMALAYAN TARTARY BUCKWHEAT (FAGOPYRUM TATARICUM) BLEND

    Himalayan Tartary buckwheat is a food crop that has been grown for centuries. It has a unique nutrient profile that includes quercetin and hesperidin, which have been shown to have health-promoting effects on immunity, metabolism, and cellular rejuvenation.

  • 2-HOBA

    What is it? A plant chemical that is extremely rare in foods, but it just so happens that Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat is one of the best sources currently known. 2-HOBA’s full name is 2-hydroxybenzylamine, and its being studied for how well it stops the formation of some types of harmful molecules in the body.

  • myHMB® (Calcium-β-hydroxy β-methyl butyrate monohydrate)

    This nutrient, which is found in alfalfa and other foods, has been studied for immune support and rejuvenation, as well as the ways it helps build, maintain, and protect muscles and lean tissues throughout the body.

  • ADVANCED PROTEIN BLEND

    Our French vanilla protein base is a gluten-free, NON-GMO blend of pea and rice and amino acids. It is an optimal high protein/low carbohydrate balance that also contains 20+ essential vitamins and minerals as well as cocoa polyphenols, which are powerful natural antioxidants. The high prebiotic fiber content can support healthy microbiome composition.

Quality

Here at Big Bold Health, quality is very important to us. Our team is committed to environmental responsibility and regeneration, scientific innovation, and manufacturing methods that embody the spirit of craftsmanship.

How We Collect and Use Information

The Site only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the event that they have signed up to receive our messaging, attended one of our events, or have purchased one of our products.

For example, we may collect information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site. We also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes.
