It’s almost impossible to ingest all the superfoods we’ve been instructed to eat on a daily basis. There aren’t enough meals in the day—and even if there were, not all of the listed produce are readily available. ); return…

Pep up your pup’s health with a daily dose of powdered vitamins
Though new to the market as a clever way of thinking about canine supplements, K-10+ seems like a product that should already exist. The line of dog-friendly vitamins is the brainchild of NYC-based photographer Ryan Singer, who developed the range after realizing how difficult it is to get a dog to eat a pill. The single-serving powder formulas are “basically like Emergen-C for dogs”, he tells us.
Depending on the dog’s weight, you simply drop the contents of one packet into its water bowl or mix it into its food for a quick and seamless immunity boost. Currently K-10+ makes calcium, glucosamine, omega 3 and multi-vitamin formulas, and each are concocted with human-grade ingredients and designed to be odorless and tasteless.
Each box—designed by Paul Darragh of Manhattan Born—contains 28 packets for a month’s worth of daily nutrition doses for your pup. Pick them up online for $35 a box.
Borrowing their name from the Latin word for energy, Navitas Naturals makes the best in exotic organic and raw superfoods packaged in equally refreshing zip-top bags. The Marin County, CA-based company’s 24 functional foods have seemingly unlimited possibilities for use. From simple snacking to flour substitutes, they all work as both a tasty ingredients and valuable sources of nutrition.
Navitas founder Zach Adelman was introduced to maca, a nutrient-dense root vegetable grown and consumed by the indigenous people of the Andes, while traveling through South America. Maca increases stamina and energy; Incan warriors used it in preparation for war. He brought it back to the U.S. and started selling it in powder and capsule forms. (It’s also used in some specialty chocolates.) Since then Adelman’s goal has been to search the world for “functional foods that have been used by traditional cultures for both medicine and nourishment.”
Bountiful information can be found on the Navitas website, which reads like an encyclopedic guide, filled with recipes, random facts, health benefits, and info on where Adelman sources the products. Available at Whole Foods stores and online, prices and quantities vary.
