3 Extreme Challenges – 1 Incredible Solution
Picture
Poverty Challenge
The Northern Cape is one of the poorest provinces of Southern Africa, therefore also the province with the highest unemployment rate of 39.8%. Informal rural communities grow year on year and people are living off government handouts, seasonal work and the occasional odd job. Because of poverty, a lack of education, healthcare and crime are major social issues.
Most of these poor people live in one room corrugated iron shacks with no electricity or running water.

​​Ecological Challenge
​​This arid and precious eco system of South Africa is invaded with more than 180 million acres of Mesquite trees, also known as Prosopis. These trees are spreading uncontrollably, inhabiting valuable farm land. The root system of the trees is very aggressive and taps into scares underground water supplies, causing valuable boreholes to dry up in certain areas.
As these trees are not indigenous to Southern Africa, it does not have a natural enemy and therefore became an obnoxious weed and need to be eradicated.

​However, despite all efforts of eradication, the trees grow stronger, producing more pods and spreading even faster throughout this arid land, making this huge problem even bigger.

Health Challenge
In 2014, the number of people living with diagnosed diabetes worldwide was 422 million and according to the World Health Organization, diabetes is the fastest growing health problem of all times and also causing the most deaths.
An estimated 42% of the western population might be struggling with uncontrolled blood sugar levels, referred to as pre-diabetes, and not even realizing it.

The Solution
The solution is a dietary supplement, made from the pods of the Mesquite trees and addresses all 3 of these challenges.
 
About 21 years ago, while doing research on the Mesquite trees, we discovered that a specific extraction from the Northern Cape Mesquite pods can help control blood sugar levels and curb cravings and appetite in a natural way.  
After 8 years of trials and laboratory research, 2 studies were published in international scientific journals. Other studies was done by the Glycemic Index Foundation as well as the GI Science Lab.
These studies show the effectiveness of this all-natural dietary supplement in supporting healthy blood sugar levels, lowering high insulin levels, curb food and sugar cravings and to lower high blood pressure. This raw material is high in natural dietary fiber, plant based calcium and natural potassium. The product also contains 6 of the same essential sugars mothers milk has.
 
“What about other Mesquite trees in the world?” you may ask. Repeated attempts to replicate these results elsewhere have proven unsuccessful, because it seems that the trees require unique nutrients from the Northern Cape soil as well as intense heat.
We have also found that most other areas, where Mesquite trees grow, have a problem with aflatoxin, which are highly toxic to humans.
​Our Mesquite pods are beyond organic, because it is wild harvested and therefore free from any toxins, herbicides or pesticides.
Impact
The
positive impact that this product has on poverty, nature, and health can be enormous and we need your help to spread the word.

Impact on Poverty
The poorest of the poor are harvesting the pods and we buy it from them at a price 6 times higher than the normal rate. This money is used for food, schooling, essentials and housing. 

Picture
Impact on Nature
By harvesting the Mesquite pods, we help to reduce the spreading of this obnoxious weed throughout this beautiful and arid land, preventing it from “stealing” more land and water which could have been used by the farmers in these rural areas.

Impact on Health
By using the Mesquite caplets, you can improve your blood sugar levels, lower high insulin levels, increase daily fiber intake to improve bowel movement and lower high cholesterol levels. The product can also help to lower high blood pressure. 
As dietary supplement, it can help to control blood glucose levels and therefore helps to curb food cravings. Also, as the product contains natural sugars, it can help to increase energy levels without spiking blood sugar levels.

By spreading the word, you can make an enormous contribution in the expansion of this project. You will not only make a difference in the lives of these poor people and the environment, but you can help yourself and your family to enhance your health and improve weight management.
