Grass Fed Cream
Very Good

Benefits

Rich in beneficial fats and vitamins A, D, E, and K2, which support overall health and wellness. Contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that may have anti-inflammatory properties.

Sea Salt
Good

Sea salt is a natural source of sodium and trace minerals. It is minimally processed, retaining its natural mineral content, which can be beneficial for electrolyte balance. The use of sea salt instead of refined salt adds a subtle flavor and nutritional advantage.

Risks

Excessive consumption of sodium can lead to high blood pressure and cardiovascular issues.

Benefits

Provides essential minerals like magnesium and calcium, which are important for various bodily functions. Enhances flavor naturally without the need for artificial additives.
