SuperGreens

SuperGreens' food ingredients help to improve your health by alkalizing, energizing, and nourishing the cells in your body. Many health care professionals recommend taking Spirulina and Chlorella, both of which have significant health-enhancing properties. Our Super Greens contains both of these algae and one other called Kelp, Kelp is classified as algae and is a rich source of natural vitamins and minerals, including essential trace minerals. These super foods also contain an abundant amount of chlorophyll, chlorophyll provides the green color that is found in grasses and algae.

Cereal grasses like wheat grass and barley grass contain every known vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and enzyme necessary to sustain life. Grasses are a complete food. Grasses dissolve, and then absorb minerals from rock and soil, converting the minerals into a form easy for humans to absorb. These grasses also contain an abundant amount of the amino acids that are needed to increase the bioavailability (absorption) of these nutrients.

Spirulina

SuperGreens contains organically grown Spirulina. Spirulina is a fresh water algae that is composed of 60% protein, which blows away both red meat, at 27%, and soy, at 34% muscle-building potential. Spirulina is an abundant source of both vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and magnesium.

Spirulina is one of the few plant sources of vitamin B12, usually found only in animal tissues. A teaspoon of Spirulina supplies 2½ times the Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin B12 and contains over twice the amount of this vitamin found in an equivalent serving of liver. Spirulina also provides high concentrations of many other nutrients — amino acids, chelated minerals, pigmentations, rhamnose sugars (complex natural plant sugars), trace elements and enzymes that are in an easy to assimilate form.

Chlorella

Chlorella is a species of green algae that grows in fresh water. This life form emerged over 540 million years ago, and was the first form of plant with a well-defined nucleus.

Chlorella was discovered in the late 19th century. Due to its high protein concentration and rapid growth rate, chlorella was investigated after World War II as a possible commercial food source. In the 1950s, researchers first reported that chlorella prevented the development of liver disease in mice. A decade later, some investigators claimed that the algae decreased the side effects of chemotherapy and slowed the growth of some cancer cells. Most of the research has been conducted in Japan, where chlorella is a top-selling dietary supplement.

Kelp

Kelp is employed by herbalists as a mineral supplement. It is especially prized for its iodine content. Kelp abounds in calcium, chlorine, potassium, magnesium, and other mineral including trace minerals.

Alfalfa

Deep-rooted alfalfa is rich in vitamins and minerals and fiber.

Alfalfa herb versatility is due to its high nutritional content. It contains all known, vitamins and has a high chlorophyll content, and a balanced group of minerals including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. The leaves also contain eight essential amino acids. Its high protein content and abundant stores of vitamins make it a good nutritional source for humans, too.
