SunnRooibos isn't actually a tea - it's a legume. Served as an infusion produced drink, only recently has rooibos been investigated by medical science and confirmed to be a beverage with a mounting list of health benefits. It is a natural product, free of caffeine (unlike all teas), additives, preservatives and colorants, is very low in tannic acid, and has absolutely no oxalic acid (detrimental to healthy kidney function). SunnRoobos boasts a long list medical and scientific evidence which points to heath and wellbeing bonuses for those that use it regularly. In its literature, the South African supplier for SunnRooibos, Rooibos Limited, lists the following "benefits" of this amazing beverage:

SunnRooibos Tea Benefits

• Naturally caffeine free
• Alternative beverage for people with sensitive central nervous system
• Anti-spasmodic properties relieve stomach and digestive discomfort
• Contains no additives, preservatives or colorants, nor any oxalic acid
• Relieves allergies
• Promotes healthy skin, teeth and bones
• High in antioxidants
• Increases iron absorption
• Contains essential minerals for several metabolic functions
• Very low in tannins, which have a negative impact on iron absorption

Because of its positive iron absorption qualities and its lack of caffeine, it is also a potential drink of choice for pregnant and breast feeding mothers. SunnRooibos can be enjoyed throughout the day by everyone without any negative drawbacks. It is also known for relieving common infant ailments such as colic and cramps, "and as a supplement to babies' normal feeding, increases the daily intake of calcium, manganese and fluoride, essential for the development of strong teeth and bones." Additionally, direct application during diaper changes can relieve potential skin irritation.

Research into the causes of cancer and aging points to the increased presence of free radicals, toxic compounds produced by the body as a natural by-product of cell function. Free radicals attack healthy cells and the resultant "accumulated damage contributes to...the decline of the immune system." The high antioxidant level of SunnRooibos combats free radical accumulation, much as is the case with green tea, yet with none of its negative attributes and side effects. SunnRooibos can be enjoyed all day without adding a single calorie, making it perfect for those with a calorie restricted diet. Its low tannic acid content gives it a pleasant, non-bitter taste, without the addition of any sugar or artificial sweetener. SunnRooibos actively takes into account all the emerging information referenced above, placing rooibos in a category of drink and food (classified as such by the Food and Drug Administration) whose pluses make it the beverage of choice for a nation of increasingly health conscious consumers.
