Health Heiress – Gowan Gowan Capsules

Nourish. Fortify. Restore —Ancestral Antioxidant Superfruit. Contains one of the highest total antioxidant activities ever recorded in an Australian native fruit.

Gowan Gowan, is a deep purple native superfruit. Revered for generations by First Nations communities, the fruit was often buried in sand to ripen naturally before being consumed as a seasonal food and digestive tonic. Health Heiress is proud to be the first and only company in Australia to encapsulate Gowan Gowan, bringing this powerful native superfruit to the world in a convenient, pure, freeze-dried, nutrient-dense capsule form — no fillers, no additives, just nature at her most potent.

Traditional & Cultural Use

For thousands of years, First Nations peoples used Gowan Gowan to:

• Soothe sore throats and oral infections

• Aid digestion and liver function

• Support hydration, stamina, and resilience during hunting and ceremony

• Provide fibre-rich gut and immune support during seasonal change

It was commonly consumed fresh or prepared in earth-based fermentation to soften its intense tannins, enhancing its bioavailability and healing effects.

• Anthocyanins (potent plant pigments linked to cardiovascular, eye, and skin health)
