Wonder herb powers healthy coffee The debate about the health pros and cons of coffee is a longstanding one – but Health Choice Coffee believes it has a genuinely healthy option. The secret ingredient in its Organo Gold Coffee drink is the ancient Chinese herb ganoderma. With more than 1,800 published articles about it in medical journals, the company says the herb is – among other benefits – proven to provide more energy, support the immune system, and promote health and longevity.
Sports nutritionist Dr Bob Rakowski, who worked with London 2012 Olympic Games athletes, says Organo Gold Coffee has an alkalinising effect on the body which boosts performance, whereas regular coffee is acidic.
