Vege Greens is a comprehensive combination of over 60 land, sea and cruciferous
vegetables, as well as super green foods, EFAs, pre and probiotics, enzymes
and herbal extracts. One small scoop is equivalent to six to eight servings
of vegetables, and offers a full spectrum of nutrient-rich and highly
alkaline foods.Professionally formulated and energetically tested, Vege
Greens contains no artificial flavours, colours, or sweeteners, and no
hidden ingredients.
With nine distinctive blends of green foods and plant extracts, Vege Greens
supplies an extraordinary spectrum of nutrients ranging from the rare
trace minerals found in sea vegetables to the health-enhancing compounds
exclusive to cruciferous vegetables. The power of Vege Greens is due not
only to the numerous individual nutrients that each blend contains, but
also to the synergy between these blends. The collective action of all
the nutritionally complex ingredients in Vege Greens creates a much more
potent effect than the sum of its individual components.
GREEN FOOD CONCENTRATES
(barley
greens, alfalfa, buckwheat, spinach, wheat grass, aloe vera, parsley)
- These minerals assist in the absorption of calcium, regulate the transfer
of minerals through the cell membrane, aid in the formation of bone, stimulate
enzyme production and increase the biochemical activity of vitamin D.
SEA VEGETABLES
(spirulina,
kelp, chlorella, dulse, green algae) - Contained within the cells of sea
vegetables is a vast array of vitamins, essential fatty acids and rare
trace minerals that are a result of the ocean's unique environment and
conditions. Spirulina, the most abundant ingredient in this blend, is
known for having extraordinary concentrations of vegetable protein, carotenes,
chlorophyll, and vitamin B12, as well as phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant
found in the blue pigment of algae.3 This blend is also an excellent source
of iodine, which normalizes thyroid function and balances our metabolic
rate.
LAND VEGETABLES
(fermented soy,
brown rice powder, carrot, beet root, olive leaf, celery) - In addition
to being naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, phytoestrogens and
antioxidants, the land vegetable blend is designed to work in harmony
with the other blends. Each specific ingredient has an array of unique
nutritional properties that offer advantages above and beyond the other
vegetable components. Carrots and beets are a source of carotenoids, nutrients
with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Fermented
soy contains isoflavones, a family of phytonutrients with positive effects
on hormonal balancing. Olive leaf has antiviral and antibacterial properties,
while celery provides pthalides, an active compound that aids in the regulation
of blood pressure.
CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES
(broccoli,
cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, watercress) - Cruciferous vegetables
contain a number of powerful agents including sulforaphane, glucosilonates,
and indole-3, which stimulate the natural detoxifying enzymes in our bodies.
Research has shown that sulforaphane releases proteins that hunt down
carcinogenic molecules in the bloodstream.5 Indole-3, because of its role
in estrogen utilization, may help in the prevention of female-specific
illnesses.
ESSENTIAL FATTY
ACIDS
(lecithin,
flax seed oil, borage oil, pumpkin seed oil, evening primrose oil, CLA)
- Every living cell in our bodies requires essential fatty acids. They
cannot be produced or synthesized internally, so their availability is
completely dependent on the foods and supplements that we consume. EFAs
play a role in everything from carbohydrate metabolism to proper immune
system function, to brain and cardiovascular health as well as energy
production. Evening primrose oil and pumpkin seed oil also have gender
specific hormonal balancing properties.
PHYTONUTRIENTS
(acerola,
quercetin, blueberry fruit powder, green tea extract, grape seed extract,
bilberry, resveratrol, lycopene, lutein) - When exposed to free radicals,
our bodies undergo a slow and deadly cellular degeneration. Exposure to
them is unavoidable; free radicals are a byproduct of energy production
and are found in sources as varied as sunlight, exhaust fumes, tobacco
smoke and pesticides. Antioxidants are our primary line of defense as
they neutralize the effects of free radicals. Vege Greens contains a potent
combination of botanical extracts designed specifically to reduce the
free radical damage associated with a contemporary lifestyle.
STANDARDIZED HERBAL
EXTRACTS
(astragalus,
cranberry, milk thistle, Siberian ginseng, ginkgo biloba, hawthorn, dandelion,
nettle leaf) - This blend of standardized herbs is comprised of adaptogenic
plant extracts, which help the body to adapt to the various environmental,
physiological and psychological stresses that we encounter daily. In addition,
each carefully selected herb works synergistically with the other ingredients
to enhance the overall effect of Vege Greens. For example, astragalus
and nettle leaf, along with the cruciferous vegetables, provide additional
immune system support. Ginkgo and hawthorn work with the land vegetables
and EFAs to improve circulation, cardiovascular health and mental acuity.
Milk thistle and dandelion, in combination with the super green foods,
detoxify and cleanse our blood stream and liver.
DIGESTIVE SUPPORT
(Probiotic
blend, FOS, protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase, bioperine {patented
piperine extract}) - For our bodies to reap the full benefit of the nutrients
contained in the foods that we consume, those foods must first be digested
and broken down into more easily absorbable forms. The digestive support
blend in Vege Greens will do just that. Not only does it contain a specialized
matrix of natural plant enzymes that break down the proteins, fats and
carbohydrates that we consume, it also contains both pre and probiotics
to help establish and maintain healthy intestinal flora. As well, bioperine,
a patented piperine extract, has been included to enhance the passage
and absorption of nutrients through the intestinal wall.
FIBRE BLEND
(apple pectin,
oat bran powder, inulin) - Plant source fibre has a long-standing reputation
for promoting regularity and relieving constipation, but it also helps
to moderate appetite and stabilize blood sugar levels. In addition, dietary
fibre accelerates the rate at which waste material passes through the
digestive system, reducing the chance of putrefaction and the build-up
of toxins. While many of the ingredients in Vege Greens are excellent
sources of soluble fibre; apple pectin, oat bran powder and inulin have
been specifically included to further enhance the elimination of unwanted
materials including cholesterol and heavy metals.
This Vege Greens powder
is available in a 60-day supply (510g).
