“Whole Food” Nutrients
“NutraGreens™,” which we like to call “The Greatest Food on Earth,” is the newest NutraVine™ Nutraceutical for Life. NutraGreens™ is an almost perfect phytonutrient supplement, a “superfood” with a purpose. Our nourishing and energizing supplement combines the nutritional power of 4 organic cereal grass juice powders, 3 sea vegetable protein foods — chlorella, spirulina, & hydrilla verticillata — for a total of 42 concentrated whole foods and herbal extracts, providing ALL the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants you need in a daily multiple supplement!
Only a few years ago, scientists didn’t even know that phytochemicals existed, but today, they are the new frontier in disease and cancer-prevention research. These phytochemicals or phytonutrients (“phyto” means “plant” in Greek) are found in whole foods, especially fruits and vegetables, and go beyond ordinary vitamins and minerals in bringing about good health. Every slice of tomato, every bite of apricot, potato, strawberry, spinach, whole grain, or broccoli contains thousands of phytochemicals, which are developed by the action of sunlight on plants, and which are used by our bodies to promote health and well-being. Devra Lee Davis, senior science adviser at the U.S. Public Health Service states that “. . . these natural phytochemical products can take tumors and defuse them. . . They can turn off the proliferative process of cancer.” For instance, researchers have found a compound in broccoli called sulforaphane, which seems to keep lab animals from getting breast cancer. The National Academy of Sciences team reports that the broccoli compound protects living animals against cancer. Biologists have learned that cancer is a multi-step process, in which a cell has to jump through many biological hoops to become malignant. Phytochemicals seem to be able to throw a biochemical wrench into one or more of the mechanisms leading to tumors. Scientists at Cornell University reported in 1994 that 2 of tomatoes’ 10,000 phytochemicals, p-coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid, snuff out the formation of cancer-causing substances. “The whole tomato is more effective against [carcinogen] formation than just the vitamin C component,” says Cornell’s Joseph Hotchkiss. “You can’t have a lousy diet and take a few vitamins and get the same benefit.” Scientists in Germany isolated a phytochemical in soybeans, called genistein, that interrupts supply lines of tumors. This phytochemical seems to keep tiny tumors from getting connected to capillaries that carry oxygen and nutrition. Without these supply lines, the tumor never grows, metastasizes, or kills. Garlic and onions contain phytochemicals called allylic sulfides that seem to protect against stomach cancer. They work by waking up enzymes inside cells which detoxify cancer-causing chemicals. Almost every fruit and vegetable produces flavonoids, a phytochemical which races to the sites of cancer-causing hormones such as estrogen, stopping the attachment of the hormones to cells. The overall message in these new discoveries is to eat a diet full of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. But many Americans are constantly on the run, and take no time to prepare these simple foods from day to day.
Thus, the nutritional supplement industry began examining methods of flash-freeze drying these phytochemicals in the food, and putting them in pill, capsule or powder form. One advantage in the flash freeze drying process is that the toxins from the pesticides sprayed on our produce are removed in the dehydration process. The most exciting benefit of phytochemical supplementation is that these supplements provide the nutritive ingredients found in large quantities of fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, thereby improving health and providing useful anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic, and health-building properties in today’s compromised food industry.
Probably the most important factor in maintaining and restoring health is to develop a healthy digestive system. We are “home” to trillions of microorganisms that live on and inside us. Every person harbors more microorganisms in their gastrointestinal tract than there are people in the world! Although some of the microorganisms inside us may be harmful, the vast majority are not. In fact, they are necessary for good health. Without these beneficial microorganisms we could not survive — hence, the name “probiotics,” meaning “for life.” The 7 varieties of “probiotics,” or friendly intestinal bacteria, in NutraGreens™ focuses on improving the digestion of food and transportation of nutrients into the body from the gastrointestinal tract. Each serving provides over 15 billion probiotics, which help break down proteins for easy assimilation, transport minerals across the intestinal mucosa, synthesize several B vitamins in the intestines, and create an unfriendly environment for pathogenic bacteria and Candida yeasts, thereby reducing the level of disease-causing bacteria and shrinking yeast colonies in the gut.
The fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and chlorophyll from the “green foods” (cereal grasses) in NutraGreens™ support the action of the probiotics and nourish the entire body. Apple fiber, apple pectin and the highest quality patented lecithin help to remove heavy metals, cholesterol, and toxins from the intestinal tract before they can be absorbed. Some of the earth’s most nutrient dense foods are in the organic cereal grass juice powders (alfalfa, barley, oat, and wheat); these contain 33% complete protein, 37% complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, enzymes, and plenty of natural “whole food” vitamins, minerals, growth factors, phytochemicals, and antioxidants.
The Spirulina and Chlorella in NutraGreens™ deliver more than 60% protein, trace minerals, and other phytochemicals. The Hydrilla verticillata is a fresh water green food that is more than 13% calcium and is also a potent source of B vitamins. Its beta carotene content is 3 times greater than chlorella’s, and its protein is complete and balanced for superb utilization by the body for the production of energy. Some of hydrilla’s nutritional factors also include RNA, DNA, GLA magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, selenium, molybdenum, SOD, enzymes, and rich amounts of B-12. The Flax Seed Meal is organic and provides the essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, for cardiac and brain function, plus soluble and insoluble fiber to fight cholesterol and heavy metals.
The bioavailability of the nutrients in NutraGreens™ has been enhanced by the addition of ginger root and cayenne herbs, which also stimulate the digestive processes with live enzymes. Enzymes are the spark of life — you could not digest or absorb food, walk, talk, or even breathe without them. Vitamins aren’t activated until they join enzymes. You can swallow pounds of supplements, but without enzymes, nothing works, and you’re just wasting your money. NutraGreens™ is loaded with enzymes from almost all of the ingredients, because the foods are flash-freeze dried, never heated, as heat destroys the enzymes in our foods.
NutraGreens™ contains almost 300 mg. of herbal antioxidants to destroy free radicals and improve circulation. The foundation of human metabolism is built on oxidation, which both keeps us alive and slowly pushes us toward the end. Oxidative damage to cells defines aging and diseases, especially heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. NutraGreens™ is loaded with antioxidants such as natural soybean Vitamin E, acerola berry juice powder — the richest food source of Vitamin C — and wheat and soy sprout powders, which boost your body’s own natural production of cellular antioxidants such as SOD and catalase. The finest available grape seed and grape skin proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and green tea catechins are powerful phytochemical antioxidants that fight inflammation, repair connective tissue, and reduce free radicals. Silymarin is added to support the health of the liver, the body’s most vital organ. Without a sound liver, health is impossible, and, in fact, all of the phytochemicals in NutraGreens™ help to support and detoxify the liver.
Finally, NutraGreens™ contains herbal adaptogens which offer superior immune support, such as bee pollen, royal jelly, suma, Panax ginseng, astragalus, echinacea, dulse, and spinach octacosanols. These natural herbs help to normalize the function of the vascular, pulmonary, and neurological systems. Natural licorice root and the herbal stevia leaf extract make NutraGreens™ the best-tasting of all the green superfoods, and none can compare with our protein-fat-carbohydrate-balanced formula. The hypoallergenic formula supports the body’s endurance, brain and nerve activity, fertility, and help to set the immune system at a higher level of efficiency.
Concentrated phytochemical superfoods have proven to be able to restore and maintain a healthy digestive system, and NutraGreens™ provides a complete spectrum of whole food matrix vitamins, minerals, trace nutrients, phytochemicals, enzymes, amino acids, and probiotics for overall health support. The wonderful whole foods and phytochemicals contained in NutraGreens™ help us compensate for the immunosuppressive stress of our modern lifestyle. Although our formula was not intended as a therapeutic formula, many have responded as though it were. Since only the body can heal itself, and since it can only heal itself if the right nutrients are available and are actually assimilated by the cells, NutraGreens™ should be the choice for anyone who desires the finest whole food, phytochemical supplement. Instead of buying several different vitamin/mineral products, you will appreciate the bountiful formula and economic savings provided by NutraGreens™. The whole family will love the nutritional experience of NutraGreens™ — the “Greatest Food on Earth”! *
