Super greens range

Green superfoods

Green, the dominant colour found in nature, provides the life-giving nutrients and powerful detoxification properties found in green super foods. Eastern philosophies instruct us that green foods nourish our liver; the hardest working organ in our body, and the ancient Egyptians robed themselves in this colour as a symbol of hope and the joy of spring.

Here in the new millennium, despite a progressive green culture evolving in politics, environmental issues and our individual personal awareness, it is the colour green that is often missing from our daily dietary regimes. Hectic work schedules or social occasions, fussy children or time limitations mean it is sometimes a struggle to adhere to the 5+ a day rule.

The delicately balanced range of nutrients provided by the Super greens range supports our body's needs from birth to old age and includes complete proteins, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants - all essential for optimum health amid today's diet of processed and refined foods.

The vitality of each human being is dependent upon the combined strength of our individual body cells. When nutrients provided by complete, natural foods are consumed regularly, each cell functions at its peak and is able to regenerate and effectively fight off invaders. The results speak for themselves; with a person feeling more energised, having a glowing appearance and experiencing overall improved health.

Professionals know that today good health is not always determined by our actual nutritional intake, but the amount of nutrients we are absorbing. One of the benefits of  the Super greens range is that the nutrients it provides are in a highly bio available formˆ meaning they are well absorbed.

Who can benefit from the Super greens range?

Young and old - Green super foods are suitable for people of all ages, including infants and the elderly. Because of the high nutrient value of these foods they are ideal for people who have poor absorption of nutrients due to compromised digestive system because of inflammatory bowel conditions, certain medications or diseases and advanced age.

Sports people - Athletes and body builders can benefit from supplementation with Green super foods as intense and prolonged training can deplete nutrients from the body. When taken regularly these greens can assist with muscle building, recovery time, energy and stamina.

Weight management - Those people who are wanting lose some extra kilos can supplement morning and afternoon tea with a delicious, low fat fruit or soy milk green smoothie, or use greens as part of their meal plans ˆ confident they are not short cutting on their nutritional requirements.

Pregnancy or lactation - It is often unpredictable how we are going to feel during or immediately pregnancy. Some women endure ongoing nausea and sickness, while ideally others just blossom. Whatever the case, it is a sure thing that the growing baby is going to take the nutrients it needs from its mothers body, and unless she has an adequate intake daily it is easy for deficiencies to occur. Green super foods are a fantastic way to top up on a healthy and balanced diet during pregnancy and while breastfeeding ensuring both mother and baby‚s requirements are meet.

Cleansing and detoxifying - correct elimination of waste products from our daily metabolic processes is essential to optimum health. Green super foods assist the body and its eliminative organs with day-to-day functioning. Taken regularly green foods help normalise digestion, dispel excess digestive gases, the removal of toxins and heavy metals and the growth of beneficial bowel flora.

Hesperidin bioflavonoids - to enhance Vitamin C absorption, strengthen capillaries and veins, and offer some protection against cataracts.

Chlorella

·   Chlorophyll rich

·   Potent detoxifier

·   Helps build strong red blood cells

·   Improves digestion

·   Supports chronic digestive tract problems

A Single-cell, freshwater algae that has been around for approximately 2.5 billion years. A close relative of Spirulina, Chlorella, contains the highest known chlorophyll concentrations of any plant. This potent internal deodoriser is beneficial in cases of sluggish digestion, incorrect bowel flora balance and halitosis (bad breath). Chlorella is also known to stimulate the activity of our body‚s immune system by enhancing the action of T-cells and macrophages via an increase in interferon levels. This enables our immunity to effectively fight off foreign invaders such as viruses, bacteria, chemicals or foreign proteins. Supplementation with green foods can also decrease the side effects of chemotherapy upon the immune system, encourage cell repair due to high amounts of nucleic acids, and works effectively in eliminating old toxic material while purifying the liver.

Super greens range delivers the goodies!

Chlorophyll - is the consistent element in all green foods as it is the substance that naturally makes food green. Often described as the “blood of plants”, chlorophyll bears a close molecular resemblance to the oxygen carrying part of our own blood cells, the hemoglobin. There is considerable research showing the effectiveness of chlorophyll in assisting with the rebuilding and cleansing of blood through certain metabolic processes. The benefits do not however, end there. Chlorophyll also has the ability to stimulate the regeneration of damaged tissue in cases of injury or cellular damage and helps keep the entire digestive tract deodorised and functioning optimally.

Complete protein - all the essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein) needed for our body to replace and maintain tissues, enzymes, immune cells and red blood cells are provided by green super foods. This is of particular importance for vegans and vegetarians.

Iron - this mineral is one of the most commonly encountered nutrient deficiencies seen by health professionals. Super greens provide a highly absorbable form of iron, with the quantity surpassing that of beef and spinach by at least 5 times.

Beta-carotene - a powerful, fat-soluble antioxidant that is used by our body to make vitamin A. Beta carotene is a pigment that provides the colour orange in fruits and vegetables.

B complex vitamins - are easily destroyed by the processing and cooking of our foods, yet they are absolutely vital for the correct functioning of many of our body‚s daily metabolic processes. Intricate enzyme systems, major organ tasks, nervous system and hormonal working are all dependent on a steady supply of B vitamins.

This group of vitamins works together and a deficiency of one will prevent the others from being used by our body. Chlorella and Supreme greens provide the entire B complex, including B12, a vitamin often deficient in vegetarians and vegans.
