Soy Protein
Soy protein is one of the most researched ingredients in the functional food marketplace with over 1000 studies supporting its safe and effective use for cholesterol reduction, weight loss, lean body mass gain, improved sports performance, reduced recovery time, reduced bone loss, reduced hot flashes during menopause, reduced risk of cancer and use in infants to reduce diarrhea.
Wheat Grass
Wheat Grass is an anti-inflammatory, a circulatory cleanser and a metabolism stimulator. While common in folk medicine, Wheat Grass’s modern benefits involve beta-thalassemia and ulcerative colitis due to its constituent chlorophyll, which promotes blood flow and overall blood health because of its molecular similarity to hemoglobin.
Spirulina
Research shows that Spirulina can strengthen the body’s immune system response and help fight off deadly disease. Studies show that Spirulina, a blue-green algae full of vitamins and other essential dietary nutrients, can boost the production of blood cells that kill off viruses and tumors.
Phytonutrients
Large-scale human studies show that phytonutrients can prevent the development of cancer, macular degeneration and heart disease. Phytonutrients are anti-oxidant compounds found in colorful fruits, vegetables and other foods. The most common classes of phytonutrients include carotenoids, polypenols, flavonoids and isoflavones.
Foods of Color
Large-scale human studies show that “foods of color,” like tomatoes, blueberries and spinach, can prevent the development of cancer, macular degeneration and heart disease. Scientists believe chemicals, known as phytonutrients, are responsible for color and flavor, which provide health benefits for adults and children due to their unique antioxidant abilities.
Flaxseed (Omega 3)
Flaxseed is an essential fatty acid found in vegetables that benefits heart health and treats inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and a variety of other conditions. An antioxidant that is rich in alpha-linolenic acid, a flaxseed diet tends to promote good heart health as well as HDL or “good” cholesterol levels.
