Descriptions
Of Other Ingredients
Barley :
Barley seems to improve several cardiovascular
risk factors. For example, in a study of male
participants, researchers found increasing whole
grain foods in a healthy diet could reduce high
blood pressure.
Chlorella:
In Japan, interest in chlorella has focused
largely on its detoxifying properties -- its
ability to neutralize or remove poisonous
substances from the body. Numerous research
projects in the USA and Europe also indicate
that chlorella can aid the body in the breakdown
of persistent hydrocarbon and metallic toxins
such as DDT, PCB, mercury, cadmium and lead,
while strengthening the immune system response.
Spirulina
: This tiny aquatic plant offers 60%
all-vegetable protein, essential vitamins and
phyto-nutrients such as the antioxidant pigments
beta carotene, chlorophyll and phycocyanin, the
rare essential fatty acid GLA, sulfolipids,
glycolipids and polysaccharides.
Alfalfa
: Alfalfa may help reduce blood sugar and
cholesterol levels which can benefit heart
health. Alfalfa herbal supplements have laxative
and diuretic qualities as well as helping to
improve appetite. Alfalfa assists with the
treatment of urinary tract infections, and
kidney, bladder and prostrate disorders. Alfalfa
can relieve pain associated with arthritis and
bursitis due to its anti-inflammatory
properties. Alfalfa may be helpful with
menopausal side effects by reducing hot flashes.
In addition, alfalfa aids in increased energy
levels due to its high nutritive value.
Ionic Trace
Minerals : Your body needs
minerals found in large quantities, such as
magnesium. It also needs many trace minerals,
such as chromium, zinc and selenium. Medical
science has proven beyond any doubt that the
body can absorb essential minerals in the ionic
form far more rapidly than in colloidal, or even
chelated form.
Carrot juice
: Carrot juice has anti-carcinogen properties.
Thus, it may help prevent cancer. The Beta
carotene found in carrots is an anti-oxidant,
and thus it prevents cell degeneration, slowing
down the aging process.
Broccoli Juice
: Contains a chemical called sulforaphane that
kills helicobacter pylori. H. Pylori is the
bacteria responsible for peptic ulcers and many
gastric cancers, and the risk can be greatly
reduced by regular consumption of broccoli
juice.
Cauliflower Juice
: Investigating their protective effects of its
chemical makeup, scientists at the University of
Urbino claim to have discovered the mechanism of
action by which Brassica oleracea
(cauliflower) may offer protection against
breast cancer.
Spinach Juice
: A carotenoid found in spinach fights human
prostate cancer in two different ways, according
to research published in the Journal of
Nutrition. The carotenoid, called
neoxanthin, not only induces prostate cancer
cells to self-destruct, but is converted in the
intestines into additional compounds, called
neochromes, which put prostate cancer cells into
a state of stasis, thus preventing their
replication.
Parsley Juice
: Parsley's volatile oils—particularly
myristicin—have been shown to inhibit tumor
formation in animal studies, and particularly,
tumor formation in the lungs. Myristicin has
also been shown to activate the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase, which helps
attach the molecule glutathione to oxidized
molecules that would otherwise do damage in the
body.
Oat Beta-Glucan
: Oat Beta-Glucan is the active ingredient in
oat soluble fiber, recognized by the United
States FDA as an effective way to lower blood
cholesterol.
Apple Fiber Pectin
: As a dietary fiber, apple pectin is helpful in
maintaining good digestive health. Researchers
at the University of California, Davis, found
that apple pectin also acts as an antioxidant
against the damaging portion of cholesterol in
the blood stream.
Sprouted Barley
Malt : Malted barley has a high
complement of enzymes for converting its starch
supply into simple sugars; it also contains
protein, which is needed for yeast nutrition.
Barley malt is also used medicinally as a
bulking agent to promote bowel regularity.
Concord Grape
Powder : According to results
from a preliminary study presented at
Experimental Biology April 14, 2003 in San
Diego, CA “Men with elevated blood pressure who
drank Concord grape juice for twelve weeks
experienced a significant drop in both their
systolic and diastolic blood pressures”.
Acerola Cherry
: Acerola has been studied and found to be a
powerful antioxidant demonstrating anti-cancer
potential. Acerola contains polyphenols.
Milk Thistle (Silymarin)
: Milk Thistle (Silymarin) has antioxidant
properties. Milk Thistle also contains
anti-inflammatory effects, which keeps liver
cells from swelling in response to injury, and
it seems to encourage liver cell growth. By
changing the outside layer of liver cells, it
prevents certain toxins from getting into liver
cells.
Red Beet Root
: Red Beet Root has properties to clean
the kidneys and gall bladder. Being rich in
alkaline elements, potassium, calcium, magnesium
and iron, is useful in combating acidosis. Red
Beet Root is also beneficial in the treatment of
anemia, digestive problems, as well as
circulatory and skin disorders.
Aloe Vera
: Aloe Vera contains numerous vitamins and
minerals, enzymes, amino acids, natural sugars
and agents which may be anti-inflammatory and
anti-microbial.
Pomegranate:
Preliminary evidence suggests that pomegranate
may reduce cholesterol. Israeli researchers,
published a small clinical study in June 2004 in
Clinical Nutrition, suggested that drinking a
glass of pomegranate juice a day for one year
reduced blood pressure (particularly systolic
pressure) and slowed down LDL cholesterol (the
bad cholesterol) oxidation.
Turmeric Rhizome:
It purifies the blood, aids digestion
of protein, promotes proper metabolism in the
body, correcting both, excess and deficiencies.
It is used in treatment for fever, mild stomach
upset, infection, arthritis, dysentery, jaundice
and other liver problems.
Atlantic Kelp
: Kelp has a very high natural iodine
content, which has a normalizing effect on the
thyroid gland. Due to the vitamin and mineral
contents of Atlantic Kelp it may help scalp and
hair health. Poor digestion, flatulence and
obstinate constipation, have been helped with
Kelp supplementation.
Green Tea Extract:
In 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer
Institute published the results of an
epidemiological study indicating that drinking
green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer
in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty
percent. University of Purdue researchers
recently concluded that a compound in green tea
inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is
also research indicating that drinking green tea
lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as
improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to
bad (LDL) cholesterol.
Quercetin
: Quercetin is a powerful anti-oxidant. It is
also a natural anti-histamine, and
anti-inflammatory. Research shows that quercetin
may help to prevent cancer, especially prostate
cancer.
Trans Resveratrol:
It promotes cardiovascular
health through its antioxidant action and its
ability to promote healthy platelet function and
maintain healthy arachidonic acid metabolism.
Red Wine Extract
: A study by the Harvard Medical School and the
National Institute of Aging showed that heavy
doses of red-wine extract lowers the rate of
diabetes, liver problems and other fat-related
ill effects in obese mice. Fat-related deaths
dropped 31 percent for obese mice on the
supplement, compared with untreated obese mice,
and the treated mice also lived long after they
should have, the study said.
Grape seed Extract
: Grape seed has been suggested for many uses,
based on tradition or on scientific theories.
However, these uses have not been thoroughly
studied in humans, and there is limited
scientific evidence about safety or
effectiveness. Some of these suggested uses are
for conditions that are potentially serious and
even life-threatening.
Blueberry Extract
: Blueberries are a particularly rich source of
antioxidants called anthocyanins (also contained
in apples, grapes, blackberries, radishes, and
red cabbage). Several studies suggest
anthocyanins discourage blood clots from
forming, warding off heart attacks. They also
appear to improve night vision and to slow
macular degeneration by strengthening tiny blood
vessels in the back of the eye.
Digestive Enzymes:
A shortage of enzymes in the body will influence
the health of the entire body. Symptoms of
deficiency may include stomach gas, indigestion,
bloating, heartburn and flatulence. Enzymes
decrease or eliminate indigestion, gas, bloating
and reflux. They also increase the nutrients you
absorb from your diet to improve overall
nutrition.
With
supplemental enzymes you can address the
underlying cause of digestive complaints rather
than temporarily masking the symptoms. Enzymes
ease the stress on digestive organs, especially
the pancreas, by reducing their workload.
Enhance the body's digestive efficiency, reduce
fatigue and increase your energy with enzymes.
Taking enzymes provides more energy for the body
to focus on functions like strengthening the
immune system and regenerating cells and
tissues, improving general health and the
quality of life.
Lecithin: Phosphatidyl choline is a brain and nerve
nutrient. It acts to protect the insulating and
protective sheaths that surround the brain,
spine, and thousands of miles of nerves.
Phosphatidyl choline helps reduce high
cholesterol levels by enhancing the metabolism
of cholesterol in the digestive system and
aiding its transport through the circulatory
system. It acts as an emulsifier to break down
the fats and cholesterol into tiny particles and
holds them in suspension, preventing them from
sticking to blood platelets or arterial walls.
