| Barley Grass | Barley grass is rich in calcium, iron and many other minerals, all the essential amino acids, chlorophyll, flavonoids, vitamin B12, Vitamin C, plus enzymes. Green barley juice is said to contain 11 times the calcium in cows' milk, nearly 5 times the iron in spinach, 7 times the vitamin C in oranges, and 80 mg of vitamin B12 per hundred grams. Barley greens are also rich in beta-carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B6, folic acid, and pantothenic acid. As such, barley grass juice can be used to treat avitaminosis. Barley grass juice is also used medicinally to heal stomach and colon disorders, duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis and is an effective anti-inflammatory. A biologist named Yasuo Hotta from the University of California , La Jolla , found in barley grass a substance called P4D1. This substance not only has strong anti-inflammatory action but also was shown to repair the DNA in the cells of the body. This aided in the prevention of abnormal growths, aging, and cell death. He reported in a Japan Pharmacy Science Association meeting that P4D1 suppresses or cures pancreatitis, stomachitis, inflammation of the oral cavity, and dermatitis, and also lacerations of the stomach and duodenum. He found that barley juice is much stronger than steroid drugs but has fewer if any side effects. Barley grass is also extremely rich in antioxidants, including tocotrienols and one powerful antioxidant called tricin. Barley also has antiviral activity.. It's known to act as a body purifier and rejuvenator and is high in antioxidants Barley Grass stimulates the production of Interleukin 2 (Interleukin 2 enables the body's T-Lymphocytes to kill Cancer cells (T-Lymphocytes do not normally have this ability) - this effect is achieved through Interleukin-2 stimulating the production of endogenous Melatonin). |
| Beets | (Beta Vulgaris) has blood fat inhibiting and liver cell regeneration properties. Beets have high iron, potassium and magnesium content, soluble and insoluble fiber, sugar stabilizing effects, and essential for liver function and regeneration . The betalains were introduced as characteristic pigments of beetroot. Unlike other classes of plant pigments, the betalains have a restricted distribution. The prickly pear cactus ( Opuntia ficus-indica ) is practically the only other edible source of betalains. Recent research has identified the betalains as being dietary antioxidants. Folate (folic acid) occurs in higher levels in beetroot than in most other vegetables. It has a different chemical structure and is more widely distributed than the betalain pigments. Betaine, for example, is also found in broccoli, spinach, legumes, eggs, fish and liver. However, Beta vulgaris provides a particularly rich source of betaine in the diet. |

| Chlorella | Chlorella pyrenoidosa and other Chlorella spp. [Phylum: Cyanophyta], is a nutrient-dense unicellular fresh water green alga rich in proteins (60%), vitamins, and minerals that is used as a source of food and beneficial phytochemicals. Chlorella has been on the earth since the Precambrian period: over 2.5 billion years. The cells of Chlorella were first identified under a microscope in the 1890s but it wasn't until the 1950s that the Carnegie Institute concluded that chlorella could be grown commercially as a solution to help world hunger. In the 1960s, Japanese scientists turned their attention to chlorella as a promoter of good health. Research has shown that Chlorella has strong detoxification, immunostimulant and wound healing properties and prevents damage to the body from toxic chemicals. Chlorella gets its name from the high amount of chlorophyll it possesses. Chlorella contains more chlorophyl per gram than any other plant. Chlorophyl is one of the greatest food substances for cleansing the bowel and other elimination systems, such as the liver and the blood. Chlorella is alkaline and helps balance your body's pH. Chlorella is one of the most scientifically researched foods in history. |

Flax seed meal is an excellent source soluble fiber. It has also been found to help strengthen the Bones by retarding the rate of bone resorption.. Research Arjmandi, B.H., et al. Flaxseed supplementation positively influences bone metabolism in postmenopausal women. Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association. 1(2):27-32, 1998.This double-blind, crossover study was designed to evaluate the effects of flaxseed consumption on several markers of bone resorption and bone formation in the blood and urine of postmenopausal women. The study included 38 postmenopausal women, with an average age of 56, who were not on hormone replacement therapy. During two six-week periods, subjects were given three muffins and four slices of bread, which together provided 38 grams of either flaxseed or sunflower seed (the control agent). The first feeding period lasted six weeks, followed by a two-week washout period. Subjects were then assigned to the alternate regimens for another six weeks. Blood samples were collected at baseline, and again at 6, 8 and 14 weeks. Additionally, 24-hour urine samples were collected from five of the subjects in each treatment group, twice during the study. While flaxseed treatment significantly lowered a marker of bone resorption in the blood serum, it had no effect on serum bone-specific markers of bone formation, in comparison to the control group. The flaxseed diet also tended to decrease both urinary excretions of another marker of bone resorption, and calcium. The findings suggest that flaxseed retards the rate of bone resorption. |

| Milk Thistle | Milk thistle has been used as a medicine since early Greco-Roman times, particularly for supporting the liver in detoxifying the blood. Through its bitter properties, milk thistle increases the flow of gastric juices relieving dyspepsia, indigestion and headaches associated with detoxification organ congestion. The German Pharmacopoeia recognizes milk thistle crushed seeds for treating digestive disorders and standardized extracts for preventing and treating damage to the body from poisons and toxins, and as supportive treatment in chronic inflammation of the detoxification organs. Another controlled study following 106 people with alcoholic organ damage over a period of 4 weeks showed a significant decrease in elevated liver enzymes and improvements in cell health as evaluated by biopsy. No side effects have been reported during clinical trials with standardized milk thistle extracts. Milk thistle products may produce a mild laxative effect in some people due to stimulating effects on bile secretion. Use of milk thistle extract may also lower blood glucose levels. |
| Moringa Leaf Powder | Dozens of humanitarian organizations now promote the use of Moringa in poverty-stricken areas to combat malnutrition and its adverse effects on the body. Groups such as Church World Service, Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization, National Science Foundation, and others are reintroducing the different health benefits of this fast-growing, drought-resistant plant to malnourished people in various underdeveloped areas.
Where conventional treatments for malnutrition normally take months, healthcare professionals have discovered that people taking Moringa show improvement within days. Moringa was well known to the ancient world, but only recently has it been "rediscovered" as a multi-purpose tree with a tremendous variety of potential uses. The edible leaves of the tree are very nutritious and are consumed throughout West Africa as well as in some parts of Asia . The high concentrations of iron, protein, copper, various vitamins and essential amino acids present in Moringa leaves make them a virtually ideal nutritional supplement.

The active constituents are many and include 5-hydroxytryptamine, histamine, formic acid and gallic acid, plus much readily absorbable iron. Research by Drs Herrmann and Neumann established that an increased metabolic rate took place over a period which lasted from the sixth to the twenty-second hour after taking a glassful. They said that this was very helpful when used in conjunction with therapies for removing -toxins from the blood. One research conducted found that nettles could reduce blood sugar levels. |
| Nutmeg | In India, nutmeg has a long reputation as an aphrodisiac. Nutmeg is believed to increase sexual stamina. |
| Orange Peel | Stimulates the body to produce more digestive enzymes, contains bioflavonoid which are good for connective tissue |
| Oat Beta Gluten | Oat Beta Gluten, Many people are confused by the various references to oats. Oat straw refers to the whole plant, including the leaves and stems. These parts are dried and chopped after the grain is harvested in late summer. The seeds are milled to produce oat bran and oatmeal. Oat bran is produced from the coarse husks of the grain, and oatmeal is the ground grain. While the grain has similar properties to the whole plant, each part has its individual benefits. The common oat offers uncommon health benefits. Oat bran and, to a lesser extent, oatmeal, contains a specific type of fibre known as beta-gluten. Since the early 60s, clinical trials have shown their ability to reduce blood cholesterol levels, in particular the low-density lipoproteins. Studies show that individuals with high cholesterol levels can typically lower total cholesterol by eight to 23 per cent, when oats are taken over a period of time and included in an otherwise healthy diet. These are significant percentages since each one per cent drop in serum cholesterol translates to a two per cent decrease in the risk of developing heart disease. This same beta-gluten has also been proven to enhance the immune system's response to bacterial infection. It helps neutrophils (the most abundant type of non-specific immune cell) to get to the site of the infection more quickly, and also enhances there ability to eliminate the bacteria. This quickened response results in faster microbial clearance and healing. As our non-specific immune defenses are the body's first advance against pathogens, starting your day with a bowl of porridge may just offset further specific infection. |
| Parsley | Parsley herb is a superior food medicine containing high levels of fiber, provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, folate and other antioxidants. The dark green leaves and stocks are also generously endowed with calcium and boron for preventing osteoporosis.

Digestive Enzymes is a broad term for the many Enzymes that catalyze the splitting (hydrolysis) of large molecules ingested from Foods |
| Probiotic Culture | Probiotic culture, beneficial bacteria are a group of (primitive) microorganisms that lack a distinct nuclear membrane and have a cell wall of unique composition. Various species of beneficial bacteria (as well as various species of potentially detrimental bacteria) populate the colon. The total number of species of bacteria in the colon is approximately 400. It is estimated that bacteria account for 30% to 50% of the volume of the contents of the colon. Beneficial bacteria ferments insoluble fiber, starch and undigested carbohydrates in the colon ferment. The Short-Chain Saturated Fatty Acids produced by this fermentation are the principal source of energy for the epithelial cells of the colon. Beneficial Bacteria enhances the general health of the digestive system and is essential in boosting the immune system functions of the intestines. It's been found that beneficial bacteria help to reverse intestinal permeability. Beneficial Bacteria reside in the body's Intestines and can endogenously manufacture some vitamins including: Biotin,, Choline, Folic Acid, Inositol, Para Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA), Vitamin B2, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, andVitamin K |

| Rice Bran | Rice Bran is the outside hull of the rice (Oryza sativa) grain it has been found to help inhibit the absorption of dietary Cholesterol (due to the Gamma Oryzanol content of Rice Bran): research Gerhardt, A. L., et al. Full-fat rice bran and oat bran similarly reduce hypercholesterolemia in humans. Journal of Nutrition. 128(5):865-869, 1998. Scientific studies support recommendations to increase dietary soluble fiber as part of hyperlipidemia treatment. Rice bran contains minimal soluble fiber, but rice bran oil has a hypolipidemic effect. Full-fat rice bran was compared with oat bran and a rice starch placebo in hyperlipidemic humans to see if it might have a role in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. Moderately hypercholesterolemic (5.95-8.02 mmol/L), nonsmoking, nonobese adults were studied in a 6-wk, randomized, double-blind, noncross-over trial. Three groups added 84 g/d of a heat-stabilized, full-fat, medium-grain rice bran product (n = 14), oat bran product (n = 13) or rice starch placebo (n = 17) to their usual low-fat diet. Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), apoA1 and apoB were measured before and at the end of the supplementation period. Serum cholesterol decreased significantly (P </= 0.05) by 8.3 +/- 2.4% and 13.0 +/- 1.8% in the rice bran and oat bran groups, respectively, but there was no change in the rice starch group. This change was attributable to LDL-C, which decreased by 13.7 +/- 2.8% in the rice bran group and 17.1 +/- 2.4% in the oat bran group (P </= 0.05). Serum apoB decreased proportionately. There was no consistent effect on triglycerides within each group and HDL-C and apoA concentrations did not change. The LDL-C:HDL-C ratio decreased significantly in the rice bran and oat bran groups. Stabilized, full-fat rice bran or oat bran, added to the prudent diet of hyperlipidemic adults, similarly reduced cholesterol and LDL-C and improved lipid ratios in 78% of these individuals. Rice bran, as well as oat bran, should be included in the prudent diet of individuals with hyperlipidemia. |
