*** Supercharge with Superfoods ***
CHLORELLA: Chlorella is a green algae that grows in fresh water and aids in the detoxification of the body. It is a good source of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals. It supports healthy hormonal function, reduces blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It is also used to increase “good” bacteria in the intestine and protect the body against toxic metals.
MORINGA: Moringa contains proteins, vitamins, and minerals. As an antioxidant it also helps strengthen cell walls while preventing heart disease. Moringa leaves retain lots of vitamins and minerals when dried and are used to fight malnutrition. Moringa is praised for its capacity to purify water and make it potable. It is used for anemia, arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure and infection.
SPIRULINA: Spirulina is a blue-green microalgae, a superfood from the sea used to treat a range of metabolism and heart health issues including diabetes and high cholesterol. High in plant protein, Spirulina is also a good source of iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and B vitamins. The Aztecs first discovered this food in Central America, and they consumed it daily for energy and strength.
MINT: Mint plants contain an antioxidant known as rosmarinic acid. The anti-inflammatory properties are effective in relieving seasonal allergy symptoms. Mint has a refreshing taste. As a medicinal herb it is used to treat indigestion, nausea and irritable bowel syndrome. It is a natural decongestant that helps to break up phlegm and mucus.
BEETS: Beets are a nutritious heart healthy root vegetable. They are a good source of antioxidants, folate, potassium and fiber. Many people don’t care for the texture of raw beets, however - the isolated juice tastes great in the blend!
MATCHA GREEN TEA: A common refreshment in Japanese monasteries, Matcha is high in an antioxidant called EGCG which reduces stress, regulates hormones to within normal ranges, and reduces appetite. The tea contains a high level of easily-absorbable dietary fiber.
WHEATGRASS: The ancient Egyptians worshipped this food for its positive health benefits. Known as the “life-blood” of plant life, Wheatgrass contains up to 70% chlorophyll which is antibacterial. It cleanses and regenerates the blood, neutralizing toxins.
ASHWAGANDHA: Ashwagandha is an adaptogen (a combination of amino acids, vitamins, and herbs) that helps your body cope with its response to emotional & mental stress (i.e. anxiety, exhaustion) and external stress such as toxins in the environment. It enhances energy and stimulates s*x drive. It is a known mood boosting herb and can play an important role in fighting mood imbalance.
TURMERIC: Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma Longa plant which contains “curcumin” - a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Research has shown that turmeric reduces the pain caused by osteoarthritis.
LEMON: This yellow fruit has countless health benefits and adds refreshing citrus to the blend. Compounds such as ascorbic acid, citric acid and flavonoids help stabilize blood sugar. We’ve added just enough to give it a light flavor without overpowering any of the other ingredients.
COCONUT WATER: Not to be confused with high-fat coconut milk or oil, coconut water is a clear liquid in the fruit’s center. Nature’s super hydrating refreshment, coconut water is low in calories, fat & cholesterol free, high in potassium and electrolytes. Coconut water is also a natural appetite suppressant.
MONK FRUIT: The fruit was first mentioned in the records of the 13th-century Chinese monks who used it. Indigenous to China and Thailand, Monk fruit is used today in products as a natural sweetener. The powder is low glycemic, it has zero calories and is said to be up to 300 times sweeter than sugar. In traditional Chinese medicine the fruit itself is believed to help in treating cough, sore throat, diabetes and obesity. Also known as the “longevity fruit” it is believed to promote a long life.
