HEALTH SUPPORTIVE GREENS

Barley & Wheat Grass Powders are multi nutrient supplements for humans providing vitamins minerals, chlorophyll and an array of nutrients. They have been shown to support immune function by stimulating activity of immune cells and protect cells from mutation. Barley leafs contain peroxidase, which decomposes the oxidizing compound hydrogen peroxide  produced by vital reactions in the body. It also contains constituents used in building blood and in supporting healthy cholesterol levels.*

Organic Kale Powder – Kale is one of the most nutritious vegetables, containing a full day’s supply of vitamin A and C in one serving and also a high amount of calcium.*

Japanese Chlorella is made with broken cell walls for 80% digestibility. Chlorella has been shown to support a healthy intestinal tract by assisting the proper movement of food throughout the system and by restoring stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers and chronic gastritis. Studies suggest that chlorella may assist healing of wounds and enhance resistance to infections by stimulating the immune system. Chlorella inhibits tumor growth in animals and reduces the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Chlorella may also support healthy cholesterol levels.*

Hi-Lutein Spinach Powder. Lutein is an antioxidant found in many plants, but kale, spinach, and collard greens are especially high in this carotenoid. Specifically concentrated in the macula in the center of the retina in the back of the eye, lutein protects the retina from free radical oxidation and light damage that contribute to cataracts and macular degeneration.*

Organic Alfalfa provides phytoestrogens that may protect against cancers, especially thyroid. In addition, the plant is a good source of vitamins A, B1, B6, C, E, and K, as well as calcium, potassium, iron and zinc. *

Green Tea and its constituents have shown antioxidant effects in various studies, even comparable to that of vitamin C and vitamin E, well-known antioxidants. Tea constituents have shown antibacterial effects, and may improve the balance of intestinal bacteria, selectively reducing disease-causing bacteria while enhancing the growth of friendly bacteria. In addition, they may decrease putrefactive products/toxins in the intestinal tract and improve the pH or acidity of the intestinal tract. An overall detoxifying and deodorizing effect was has been noted from their intake.*

IMMUNE BOOSTING HERBAL BLEND

Astragalus, historically used in China as a tonic for its energy- and immune-enhancing properties, has been shown to improve T-cell. It has been shown to prevent suppression of the immune system caused by an immuno-suppressant and by tumors, and various antitumor activity via immune enhancement.*

Olive Leaf contains constituents with antiviral and antibiotic activity. Oleuropein, one of its active constituents, enhances the activity of macrophages, as seen by increased production of nitric oxide used to destroy pathogens. As an antioxidant, it may prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, making it less likely to adhere to the veins.*

FOS, or fructooligosaccharides are selectively utilized by friendly bacteria, namely Bifidobacteria. Bifidobacterium have been shown to activate immune cells which also suppress harmful bacteria and thus protect the intestines.*

Licorice has shown various effects including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and immune supportive effects. *

Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) is a starchy legume rich in the anticancer isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, that may prevent the mutation of cells. Traditionally, kudzu has been used in Kampo for fevers, head and muscle aches due to infection.*

ANTIOXIDANT RICH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Acerola is naturally very high in vitamin C.Vitamin C is an antioxidant essential for proper immune cell function, immune responses, and wound healing.*

Apple Pectin supports healthy cardiovascular function by supporting healthy cholesterol levels and good fibrin clotting function. It may also slow absorption of food assisting management of healthy blood sugar.*

Artichoke contains numerous active substances with antioxidant properties, and may have a protective effect against oxidative stress induced by inflammatory reactions.  Artichoke may also be helpful for liver and gallbaldder complaints, and digestive woes.*

Cranberry may reduce bacteria in the urine, according to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 153 elderly women. Further, it may prevent the ability of bad bacteria to adhere.*

Grape Seed Extract has been shown to protect various organs from drug- and chemical-induced toxic assaults, likely due to its beneficial effect on enzymes in the liver (inhibit P450s and increase phase II enzyme) that assist the body in removing toxins. It may also induce compounds in the body (IFN-gamma) that contribute to healthy immune function.*

Hi-Beta-Carotene Carrot Powder. Beta-Carotene is the most nutritionally active carotenoid, and can be converted to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy immune function.  Beta-carotene acts as an antioxidant and prevents the mutation of cells by oxidants. It also enhances the immune response.*

Hi-Lycopene Tomato Powder. Tomato and tomato products are the major food sources of lycopene. Lycopene is stored in testes, adrenal glands and prostate where it functions as an antioxidant that prevents the mutation of cells. It is especially protective of the prostate.*
 

Prunes, well-known for their laxative action, are also high in potassium and boron, which plays a role in bone health.

·Pine bark is high in proanthocyanidin content, which are bioflavonoids that demonstrate antioxidant properties. Much evidence supports the fact that pine bark may stimulate the immune system, have anti-inflammatory effects and protect as well.  *

Red beet contains betalains, which have potent radical scavenging activity. , This puts them in a good class of dietary antioxidants, and when consumed regularly may provide protection against oxidative stress-related disorders.*

IMMUNE BOOSTING MUSHROOMS

Agaricus blazei has been shown augment the activity of Natural Killer cells and enhance the production of compounds (TNFa, NO, IL-8) by immune cells used to destroy foreign organisms or cells. It has also been shown to protect cells from mutation. It has been shown to reduce the ability of tumors to draw blood vessels to themselves to support their growth.*

Shiitake (Lentinus edodes), according to Kampo medicine, supports immune function and interferon production. It also contains anti-tumor polysaccharides which stimulate macrophages or immune cells.*

Shiitake Mycelia has shown antibacterial properties against Staph. and Strep. in test tubes. *

Reishi’s constituents have been shown to support immune function by enhancing the proliferation of T- and B-lymphocytes. Further, reishi has shown antiviral activity, especially against herpes simplex.*

Reishi Mycelia (Ganoderma lucidum) posseses antioxidant activity that protects DNA from damage caused by free radicals, and enhances the activity of catalase, an enzyme in living cells that breaks down the free radical hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. It has been shown to enhance physical endurance, increasing the swimming capacity of mice. It may support the health of the colon by preventing the damaging effects of cancer causing agents and the growth of colon cancer cells.*

Organic Maitake and its constituents have been shown to activate various immune cells (macrophages, natural killer cells, killer T cells, etc.) to attack tumor cells and to decrease suppression of immune function. Maitake may also support healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels.*

Poria cocos may support immune function by enhancing the proliferation of T cells, increasing antibody production  by B cells and secretion of nitric oxide by macrophages. Anti-inflammatory effects have been shown as well as antioxidant activity comparable to vitamin C.   *
