A diet lacking in fresh, whole foods, and consisting mainly of convenience foods with little nutritional value, is unbalanced. To help achieve a balanced diet, it is important to eat fresh, whole foods. Beyond Greens can help support that healthy balance aiding digestion and elimination, as well as the immune system. Beyond Greens comes in powder form and blends quickly and easily into food and drink, making it great for people on the run who need an instant, nutritious boost or a quick pick-me-up snack. What does Beyond Greens have to offer? Cleansing greens wth a little bit extra Beyond Greens gives you premium greens from barley, alfalfa, oat and rye grasses, plus spirulina and chlorella. These greens are rich in detoxifying chlorophyll and provide a spectrum of nutritional components, helping support optimum health. For example, barley grass contains many nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, B-vitamins, carotene and vitamins C and E. Fats that Heal What sets Beyond Greens apart from other greens products is its high content of essential fatty acids (EFAs). Each tablespoon provides more than 1000mg of high quality flax, sunflower and sesame seed oil, derived from the same seed mixture used to produce Udos Choice Ultimate Oil Blend. EFAs are required by every cell of the body for proper development, optimal function and structural renewal. Furthermore, EFAs are a source of energy and endurance. Deep Cleansing Fibre Beyond Greens supplies soluble fibre, which carries cholesterol out of the body and feeds friendly intestinal bacteria, and insoluble fibre which provides the necessary bulk for promoting regularity. The average person only consumes an average of fourteen grams of fibre a day, barely half the recommended daily amount. Without adequate fibre intake, food takes much longer to go through the digestive tract, and stagnates. The stagnating food builds up lsquo;sludge, or residue that clings to the microvilli, which are hair-like projections lining the entire intestinal tract. When the microvilli are covered with residue, nutrient absorption may be compromised. Ensuring an adequate level of fibre in the diet loosens this residue and gently scrubs the microvilli so they are able to absorb a significantly higher amount of vitamins and nutrients. This combination of fibre, detoxifying greens, and digestive enzymes makes Beyond Greens an effective, deep cleansing formula. The ingredients provide day-to-day digestive support to maintain optimal nutrient absorption. Antioxidant Protection Another distinctive aspect of Beyond Greens is its content of antioxidant-rich whole food concentrates and phytonutrients such as carrots, soy sprouts, kale, bilberry and standardized grape seed extract. Flaxseed is the richest known source of lignans, which are antioxidants found in plant fibre. Digestive Enzymes Digestive enzymes are only a few of the thousands of known enzymes. They are like scissors that cut up the foods we eat into basic building blocks that our body then absorbs and reassembles to build cells, tissues, organs, glands and entire body systems. They have been included in Beyond Greens to ensure the proper breakdown and therefore optimum absorption of the full-spectrum of essential compounds in this formula. The combination of fibre, detoxifying greens and digestive enzymes makes Beyond Greens an effective deep cleansing formula that rejuvenates the gastro-intestinal system, and provides day-to-day digestive support to maintain optimal nutrient absorption. 255g Blend of certified organic greens: fermented grasses, green vegetables, superfood algae and seaweeds Including nutritious and digestive herbs, fibre, and probiotics The equivalent of 33g of raw, fresh greens goes into the making of each 8g serving Each 8g tablespoon provides 3g (12% DV) of fibre, 10% DV vitamin C, 20% DV of iron, 2g of protein and is considered 2 servings of vegetables.
