Product Description
Even with the best of intentions, few of us eat the recommended five to eight servings of fruits and vegetables everyday. Even the most sensible diet may still lack a number of vital nutrients important to good health. Also, the foods we eat have an impact on the delicate acid/alkaline balance of our bodies. Factors such as stress can increase the level of acidity within our bodies. By contrast, most fruits, land and sea vegetables, herbs and spices are alkalizing, which can help to bring our systems back into balance.
Your body needs essential fatty acids (EFAs) just as it needs other essential vitamins and minerals. Essential fatty acids play a role in everything from carbohydrate metabolism and proper immune function to brain and cardiovascular health and energy production. Essential fatty acids regulate a large number of mechanisms including increasing the fluidity of cell membranes and improving their "gate-keeping" abilities. These mechanisms help keep toxins out and bring nutrients into the cells. Essential fatty acids also influence the activation of cell genes, act as second messengers, and produce good eicosanoids; which help reduce inflammation in the body.
Studies have well established the health enhancing effect of green foods: elimination of toxins (such as heavy metals), boosting of levels of good bacteria (such as lactobacilli) and boosting of immunity. Green food concentrates such as barley greens, alfalfa, buckwheat, spinach, wheat grass and aloe vera help to balance the body's pH level, offsetting the acidity caused by many environmental factors. In addition to their nutritional value, green foods detoxify our bodies of unwanted metals and impurities. Ounce for ounce, sea vegetables are higher in vitamins and minerals than any other food group. They are particularly high in vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, and B12. Seaweed also contains ergesterol, which converts to vitamin D in the body. In addition to key nutrients, seaweed provides us with carotene, chlorophyll, enzymes, fiber and iodine. Seaweed’s saltiness comes from sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and a multitude of trace minerals found in the ocean. Spirulina also has phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant.
Land vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients and have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In the last few years, phytonutrients have been getting greater attention as more and more research uncovers just how powerful these nutrients are for our health. They are potent in antioxidants that can neutralize free radical damage, and clinical trials are now revealing that phytonutrients can enhance the strength of the immune system.
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale and watercress are rich in glucosinolates, compounds that break down into indoles and isothiocyanates (ITCs). Of these isothiocyanates, sulforaphane and sinigrin are most commonly known. The unique components of cruciferous vegetables assist the body in detoxification and preventing oxidative cell damage.
The standardized herbs in vegetable greens work collectively to strengthen the immune system, act as powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, and energize the body. The active ingredients in cranberry include chemical compounds called proanthocyanidins which are potent antioxidants. Dandelion root has properties that can detoxify the body and purify the blood. Polysaccharides from astragalus are used to enhance the immune system by the use of glyconutrients, known to be an immunostimulant and anti-inflammatory agent.
Fiber acts as a broom, sweeping the inside of the colon, taking with it all toxins and free radicals. Inulin, along with other dietary fiber, has been shown to promote regularity. Scientists have suggested that inulin and other fibers have potential health benefits that include improving or maintaining colon health as a prebiotic, that increases the absorption of minerals, particularly calcium, and promotes immune function. As a dietary fiber, apple pectin is helpful in maintaining good digestive health. Apple pectin also has been shown to help eliminate heavy metals from the body.
Probiotics have been used for many years to increase the proportion of protective microflora. Fructooligosaccharides, a prebiotic fiber, ferments in the lower digestive tract and acts as a food source to the beneficial microflora that reside there. Prebiotics are critical to colon health and the immune system. Besides improving digestion and preventing gas, bloating, and bad breath, probiotics are beneficial in many other situations. For example, acidophilus may help boost immunity by encouraging healthy bacteria growth.
Enzymes promote absorption and assimilation. Digestive enzymes are important because the human body cannot absorb nutrients in food unless digestive enzymes break them down. Black pepper extract enhances the absorption of nutrients through the intestine, ensuring that we get the greatest possible nutritional value from foods.
Ultimate Nutrition Vegetable Greens is a scientifically formulated combination of over 62 phytonutrients from herbal extracts, prebiotics, probiotics, plant enzymes, essential fatty acids (EFAs), super green foods, and land, sea and cruciferous vegetables. Vegetable Greens is dairy-free and is suitable for vegetarians. Vegetable Greens contains no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners, and has no hidden ingredients.
