If you want a to use a natural food source as part of your weight management diet and exercise program, then maybe it’s time you tried Nikki Lumsden’s Latin Secret – The LATIN SEED.
What is The Latin Seed?
The Latin Seed, also known as Aleurites moluccana is a natural product sourced from the Amazon basin of South America. It is unique in its properties of key nutrients due to the environmental conditions in which it is cultivated.
Why does The Latin Seed look different to locally sourced seeds?
The Latin Seed is imported from Brazil. It is different in appearance due to the vast differences in environmental conditions. This is what makes it unique.
What is in The Latin Seed?
The Latin Seed is a completely natural product and contains a unique combination of oils and trace elements such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid. A full analysis has been completed by Symbio Alliance QLD.
What makes The LATIN SEED Unique?
The Latin Seed has been made exclusively available in Australia through Lumsden Health Products. The Latin Seed is a natural food product uniquely sourced from our family plantation in the Amazon Basin of South America. It contains a unique combination of key nutrients which when combined with a weight management diet and exercise regime is great for achieving weight goals. Nikki Lumsden (Founder) lost just under 50kg using the product in combination with her well balanced diet and exercise regime.
The Latin Seed is a product of thorough quality control and is harvested, classified and carefully selected to guarantee the integrity and effectiveness. Quite simply, a portion of the tasteless Latin Seed is taken every night in a cup of boiling water. Provided you follow the recommendations, one packet should last between 48-52 days.

The LATIN SEED - Plant Growth and Environment – The “Unique” Story
From a scientific perspective, please see below as to why it is important as to where the Latin Seed is cultivated.
The Amazon rainforest is the world's largest rainforest and covers more than half of Brazil. It is vertically divided into 4 different layers with each layer exhibiting a unique ecosystem of plants and animals specific to each layer. Seed size and seed characteristics among plant populations vary greatly depending on the environmental conditions to which each plant is exposed. The Latin Seed is such that it is able to retain a specific combination of nutrients and key trace elements derived from the environment in which it is cultivated - the Amazon Basin.

Plant growth and development:
Plant growth and development as well as the nature and quantity of its chemical constituents (plant metabolites) depend on many factors including temperature, rainfall, aspect, quantity of light, altitude, soil and water. This all affects the qualities of the plant including its nutritional and medicinal value.
Temperature is a major factor in development of constituents. This includes highest and lowest temperature reached as well as the annual, monthly, and daily variations in temperature.
Annual rainfall and distribution of rainfall affect the humidity and the water-holding capacity of the soil. Continuous rainfall can lead to loss of water-soluble substances from leaves and roots of plants.
The amount of light determines the amount of alkaloids or glycosides present in plants. When growing Menth piperita (peppermint) for example, long day conditions increase the beneficial constituent menthol and short day conditions increase the amount of menthofuran, which is undesirable.
Altitude is also important, Tea is grown at 1000-2000m, cacao 100-200m and coffee at 800-1800m as the caffeine content in the leaves and fruits increases with altitude.
Soil condition is also an extremely important influence on the quality of some plant constituents. The soil type, pH, mineral content and microbial characteristics all affect plant growth and development.
Therefore, plants of the same species will exhibit different plant metabolites and different qualities depending on where they are grown.
