Key Ingredients Found In Complete Greens®: Apple Fiber: 353 mg Apple fiber contributes to a wide array of functions. It can be used to support normal cholesterol levels, maintain healthy blood sugar levels and support healthy blood pressure levels. Apple fiber is most beneficial in supporting normal bowel function. It also cleanses toxic substances from the colon and supports healthy colon function. Fiber is generally found in the seeds, stems and leaves of plants. Fiber found in foods is usually a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is dissolvable in water and can be broken down by bacteria enzymes in the digestive tract and insoluble fiber cannot. The fibers found in foods such as apples contain both types of fiber. Apple fiber helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It hinders the absorption of glucose in the bloodstream and may help normalize blood glucose levels by slowing the absorption of dietary sugar. The fiber aids in binding certain antioxidant causing compounds in the colon, and helps to speed the removal of toxins from the body. By doing so, apple fiber helps ensure that toxic metals are eliminated from the body system without being absorbed. This cleanses and protects the colon from serious problems. Fiber aids in maintaining normal cholesterol levels. Soy Lecithin: 549 mg Soy Lecithin, or phosphatidylcholine, is a phospholipid that supplies an exceptional source of choline that is a major component of cell membranes and is important for cellular repair. It is important because without it, the cell membranes would harden, which would prohibit essential nutrients from entering and leaving the cell. It also acts as an emulsifier to sustain healthy heart function. It is a mixture of neutral and polar lipids that are mainly produced from vegetable sources. Soybean, sunflower and rapeseed are the major plant sources, with soybean being the most common source. Soy lecithin's role in the maintenance of cell membranes is essential to all the basic biological processes. These processes consist of information flow that occurs within cells from DNA to RNA proteins, formation of cellular energy, intracellular communication or signal transduction and fluidizing effects on cellular membranes. Soy lecithin is absorbed into the mucosal cells of the small intestine following the digestion by the pancreatic enzyme phospholipase.

Barley also contains a glucan, which is a fiber that has been found to support healthy cholesterol levels. The root of barley grass contains the alkaloid hordenine, which excites peripheral blood circulation. When digested, the proteins, lipids and carbohydrates in the barley grass are absorbed and metabolized by normal physiological processes. Barley Malt: 78 mg Barley malt is made from sprouted barley and is a thick, dark, slow-digesting sweetener. Malting is a process that is applied to barley, as well as other cereal grains, where the grains are made to germinate and then are quickly dried before the plant develops. Barley is the most common malt because of its high enzymes, which convert its starch supply into simple sugars. Barley malt helps to normalize proper bacterial colonization of the colon, which helps to reduce toxin build up. It supports normal digestion and is used for maintaining normal bowel movement. It also promotes a soothing effect on the digestive tract. Hawaiian Spirulina Spirulina is a genus of the phylum Cyanobacteria. It is classified as a blue-green algae or blue-green bacteria. Spirulina is a rich source of protein that also contains chlorophyll, carotenoids, minerals and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The spirulina plants are aquatic and grow naturally in lakes that are rich in salt, mainly in Central and South America and in HSP naturally contains fatty acids, vitamin B12, iron, protein, and essential amino acids that the body cannot produce. It also contains chlorophyll and carotenoids, both of which are known for their antioxidant properties. Spirulina contains high levels of protein and low levels of fat, therefore, the powder made from this alga is often mixed with juice as a supplement to low calorie diets. HSP can also aid in the maintenance of the immune system, mineral absorption improving energy and mood, supporting weight loss and maintaining normal cholesterol levels.

Acerola The acerola berry is the fruit of the small tree or bush known as Malphighia glabra. It is native to the Antilles and northern One of the richest sources of vitamin C in the world is the acerola. The vitamin C content of the fruit depends on the season, ripeness, location and climate. The fruit contains the highest amount of vitamin C when the fruit is still green, and contains the lowest amount when it is ripe. In the unripe fruit, the vitamin C content can be up to 4.7 grams per 100 grams of fruit and about two grams per 100 grams in ripe fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions Found In Complete Greens®: What are phytonutrients and where are they found? The term phyto originated from a Greek word meaning plant. Phytonutrients are certain organic components of plants that are thought to promote human health. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and teas are rich sources of phytonutrients. What are the recommended daily amounts of fruits and vegetables? It is recommended that an individual consuming 2,000 calories per day to include 1 cup (or 2 pieces) of fruit and 1½ cups of vegetables. A diet should include a variety of fruit and vegetables. For example, choose different vegetables several times a week from the vegetable subgroups, which include dark green, orange, legumes and starchy vegetables. How is taking fiber beneficial to your health? Fiber is beneficial because it increases dietary bulk and it makes you feel full faster. In the digestive tract it provides bulk because it holds water, which improves intestinal functions by making it easier to move foods and waste products. Fiber is important for a number of things, including supporting normal bowel movement, normal cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels. What is the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber? The fibers found in most foods are generally a mixture of both. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can be broken down by bacterial enzymes in the body. Soluble fibers bind with fatty acids, and prolong the stomach from emptying so that sugar is released and absorbed slowly. Therefore, soluble fiber supports normal blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber passes through the intestines mostly intact because it does not dissolve in water and is not digested by human produced enzymes. Insoluble fiber moves bulk through the intestines and also helps to balance the pH in the intestines. Consequently, it helps to promote regular bowel movement, remove wastes from the colon in less time and helps to balance pH levels. What are enzymes needed for? Our bodies use enzymes for processes such as digestion and regulating hormone production. Enzymes are the catalysts for all metabolic activities in the body, and without them life would not be possible. Our bodies contain thousands of different types of enzymes, but most foods we eat are processed and cooked, which causes them to lose their enzymes. We can obtain natural enzymes from fresh, raw foods like fruits and vegetables like those included in Complete Greens. What are probiotics? Probiotics are dietary supplements that most commonly contain lactic acid bacteria or LAB. Probiotics help to form beneficial temporary colonies, which may assist the body in the same functions as the natural flora in the gut, while allowing the natural flora time to recover from depletion. The probiotic strains are then progressively replaced by a naturally developed gut flora.
How many people do not get the suggested daily amount of fruits and vegetables? Only one in 10 individuals get the suggested servings of fruits and vegetables each day. This means that about 90 percent of us are not meeting the established vegetable and fruit dietary standards that are suggested for optimal health. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. ↓ More ↓

Frequently Asked Questions Found In Complete Greens®: What are phytonutrients and where are they found? The term phyto originated from a Greek word meaning plant. Phytonutrients are certain organic components of plants that are thought to promote human health. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and teas are rich sources of phytonutrients. What are the recommended daily amounts of fruits and vegetables? It is recommended that an individual consuming 2,000 calories per day to include 1 cup (or 2 pieces) of fruit and 1½ cups of vegetables. A diet should include a variety of fruit and vegetables. For example, choose different vegetables several times a week from the vegetable subgroups, which include dark green, orange, legumes and starchy vegetables. How is taking fiber beneficial to your health? Fiber is beneficial because it increases dietary bulk and it makes you feel full faster. In the digestive tract it provides bulk because it holds water, which improves intestinal functions by making it easier to move foods and waste products. Fiber is important for a number of things, including supporting normal bowel movement, normal cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels. What is the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber? The fibers found in most foods are generally a mixture of both. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can be broken down by bacterial enzymes in the body. Soluble fibers bind with fatty acids, and prolong the stomach from emptying so that sugar is released and absorbed slowly. Therefore, soluble fiber supports normal blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber passes through the intestines mostly intact because it does not dissolve in water and is not digested by human produced enzymes. Insoluble fiber moves bulk through the intestines and also helps to balance the pH in the intestines. Consequently, it helps to promote regular bowel movement, remove wastes from the colon in less time and helps to balance pH levels. What are enzymes needed for? Our bodies use enzymes for processes such as digestion and regulating hormone production. Enzymes are the catalysts for all metabolic activities in the body, and without them life would not be possible. Our bodies contain thousands of different types of enzymes, but most foods we eat are processed and cooked, which causes them to lose their enzymes. We can obtain natural enzymes from fresh, raw foods like fruits and vegetables like those included in Complete Greens. What are probiotics? Probiotics are dietary supplements that most commonly contain lactic acid bacteria or LAB. Probiotics help to form beneficial temporary colonies, which may assist the body in the same functions as the natural flora in the gut, while allowing the natural flora time to recover from depletion. The probiotic strains are then progressively replaced by a naturally developed gut flora.
How many people do not get the suggested daily amount of fruits and vegetables? Only one in 10 individuals get the suggested servings of fruits and vegetables each day. This means that about 90 percent of us are not meeting the established vegetable and fruit dietary standards that are suggested for optimal health. |
