(Protease, Amylase, Lipase & Cellulase)
Enzymes anr delicate lifelike substances that can be found in all living cells. Every biochemical action that takes place in nature is caused by specific enzyme. Fruit ripening, seeds sprouting and trees growing are all examples of enzyme activity. Without enzymes life itself would be impossible. Neither vitamins, minerals or proteins can do any work without enzymes. Foods in their natural or raw uncooked state contain the very enzymes that we need to digest them. If you steam, bake, roast, broil, fry, stew, can, pasteurize or even microwave your food, ALL OF THE FOOD ENZYMES ARE DESTROYED IN JUST A FEW SHORT MINUTES. Dr. Howell states when we deplete our bank of enzymes by eating cooked, refined, processed, irradiated foods, drinking chlorinated water, we weaken our immune system, become vulnerable to disease, we age and when we completely run out of enzymes we die.

These beneficial lactobacilli restore a balance of necessary microflora for a healthy colon; improve immune function by implanting "friendly bacteria" along the entire lining of the gastrointestinal tract; digest sugars; help to properly assimilate vitamins and minerals; contribute to the manufacture of B vitamins; and reduce the number of harmful bacteria in the intestines.
Royal jelly, the "milk" from the queen bee is the food that brings the queen bee its extended life and reproductive capabilities. Royal jelly is well known to support immune functions. It is a super-nutrient containing vitamins A, C, D and E, as well as nine B complex vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), biotin, folic acid, and B12 (cyanocobalamin). Royal jelly contains 22 amino acids and significant quantities of the minerals calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, silicone and sulphur.
Bee pollen contains high amounts of SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), 16 vitamins and 16 minerals, 19 enzymes and coenzymes. It is used to promote energy and healing and helps some people desensitize their allergies to pollen.
Acerola and rosehip berries are one of the most potent natural sources of vitamin C and bioflavonoid available. The body doesn't store vitamin C, so it must be replenished on a daily basis. Vitamin C helps to elevate the beneficial HDL cholesterol, is antiviral, antibacterial, and enhances many immune functions. This natural vitamin C also favors the absorption of quercitin, an important bioflavonoid.
Japanese Green Tea is composed of 60% polyphenols. Polyphenols assist digestion and the proliferation of "friendly bacteria" in the intestines. They balance blood sugars, are strongly antiviral and antibacterial, and help reduce plaque-causing bacteria in the mouth.
Silymarin, the crucial ingredient in the milk thistle plant, strengthens the liver and stimulates new cell growth. It is a powerful liver detoxifier and antioxidant, protecting the liver from poisons and pollutants. Liver health is essential for optimal enzyme production and youthful energy. Milk Thistle contains bioflavonoids that encourage liver cells to increase their rate of regeneration (or self-repair) by 400-500% in animal studies.
This common weed growing prolifically in millions of lawns, backyards and pastures is an excellent liver cleanser (root); and diuretic (leaf); lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. In the spring dandelion leaves and roots produce mannitol, a substance used in the treatment of hypertension and weak heart throughout Europe. Dr. David Patterton, a practicing medical herbalist in Great Britain, once wrote that the high insulin content of the root may be regarded as "a sugar substitute for people with diabetes mellitus". Dandelions the most useful and widely applicable medicinal roots are nature's way of giving dignity to weeds!
Siberian Ginseng - not to be confused with common red ginseng which is a stimulant. Siberian Ginseng is immune-supportive, is noted for its ability to improve oxygen utilization, athletic stamina, detoxify the body of poisons and waste materials and one's ability to adapt to stress. Siberian Ginseng has been used for centuries as an anti-fatigue, anti-stress, adaptogenic herb, with macrophage enhancing effects (specialized cells that filter specific tissues such as the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes).
Chinese medica states Astagalus as the legendary tonic of protective energy or (Wei Chi) which circulates just under the skin. Astragalus contains valuable, high molecular weight polysaccharides. Modern day research shows Astragalus to be a potent response-modifier of the human immune system. Astragalus has been used for thousands of years in every Chinese formulation of any importance. A tonic herb ranking with ginseng in demand by those "in the know".
Olegomeric proanthocyanidins, form the extract of grape seeds, are powerful natural free radical scavengers and antioxidants. This extract is a highly bioavailable, bioflavonoid complex which is rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the body within minutes of ingestion. Its antioxidant properties in vitro are 50 times greater than vitamin E, 20 times greater than vitamin C. It helps to increase the effectiveness of vitamin C by acting as a carrier for it. It also works with glutathione in the body to restore oxidized vitamin C back to ascorbic acid. It reportedly crosses the blood-brain barrier to provide antioxidant protection to central nervous system tissues, and binds to collagen fibres, helping to restore elasticity and flexible strength to connective tissue.
The dried berries and the pigments derived from the berries have great benefits to the body, improving the ability of cells and fluids to pass through the capillaries and reduce capillary fragility. Bilberry may also reduce the risk of blood clots. Recent research also indicates that the bilberry might effect visual function, possibly helping people who have normal myopia or nearsightedness.
Nova Scotia Dulse's rich source of rare minerals such as boron, titanium, lithium, ubium, iodine, etc. Altogether, almost a hundred different nutrients have been found in sea vegetation.
Apple fibre containing high levels of soluble fiber can lower serum cholesterol levels as well reduce or eliminate insulin dependency for diabetes, while insoluble fiber promotes "regularity", helps to maintain intestinal balance, it cleans the intestinal tract with its soluble and insoluble fibres, and helps to block the absorption of toxic heavy metals that get into our food and eventually our systems.
(24% Ginkgo-flavonglycosides & 6% Terpene Lactones)
This ancient wonder herb for brain and body circulation has powerful antioxidants which protect its genetic material and allow it to remain reproductive for thousands of years. One living Ginkgo tree in China is over 3,000 years old. German scientists are studying Ginkgo's stamina boosting effects on mountain climbers. A top "brain food" in mental sharpness well into old age.
Foo-Ti-Teng is China's most renowned "longevity herb". It has acquired a broad reputation as a youth preserver, rejuvenator and energy tonic. The Orientals call it the "elixir of life". It promotes warm energy and is a powerful liver and kidney detoxifier. Foo-Ti-Teng contains tannins, phenolic and flavin glycosides and dicoumarols. The vitamins and trace elements from this root strongly influence glandular secretions. Foo-Ti-Teng through stimulation of the kidneys, acts as a diuretic, eliminating excess water from the body. It is used for liver and heart function, the lowering of cholesterol and when alternated with Ginseng tea it helps lower the blood sugar level in diabetics.
Licorice root has certain constituents similar to ones found in human saliva effective in healing peptic and duodenal ulcers. Licorice has tranquilizing influence on the nervous system, is a demulcent and expectorant for coughs and respiratory congestion, stimulant, promotes estrogen, improves adrenal function and is an excellent herbal transport.
Artichoke powder is a food substance derived from the whole tuber of the Jerusalem Artichoke plant. It is mildly sweet and pleasant tasting with a nutty maple flavor. It is rich in potassium and iron, high in dietary fibre but low in calories. Most importantly it is the richest natural source of low molecular weight fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS) which exist naturally in many kinds of plants such as onions, asparagus roots, tubers of Jerusalem artichoke and dahlia flower. These plant sugars are non-digestible to humans, therefore pass through the digestive system unchanged until they reach the large intestine. There they are selectively and intensively utilized by the anaerobic bifidobacterium more so than any other type of bacteria. FOS is a top rate blood sugar regulator and a super growth factor for Bifidobacterium.
Spirulina is the most nutrient-rich of any blue-green algae. It's known as a "whole" food, since each cell is a complete organism, containing most of the nutrients necessary to sustain more evolved life forms. Spirulina contains significant amounts of all the nine essential amino acids, essential because a diet lacking even one of these particular amino acids can lead to serious health problems: All of them are needed together to build and maintain the body's proteins.
Spirulina absorbs and naturally chelates many trace elements while growing. Some of these elements are calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iodine, sodium, potassium, chromium, and selenium. It contains many enzymes, catalysts for chemical changes in the body. Naturally the use of Spirulina is invaluable in modified fasting. It is so readily and completely digested that there is essentially no residue to Spirulina. This list goes on, and we've only mentioned a few of its benefits!
Nettles are an alkalizing diuretic with superb nutritive, high chlorophyll and mineral content. Nettle increases the excretion of uric acid which may explain why Nettles are a remedy for arthritis and gout. Excellent for colon and urinary disorders, arthritis, cystitis, eczema, worms and asthma. Nettles improve mucous conditions of the lungs, goiter, and inflammatory conditions. A diuretic, expectorant, pain reliever with blood sugar lowering and blood invigorating properties. They are also good astringent, effective in stopping bleeding and finally a nettle rinse can eliminate dandruff.
Each of the two grasses contain chlorophyll, which is very effective in all chronic disorders. Chlorophyll purifies the liver, lungs and colon. It helps sores to heal faster and counteracts toxins in the body. Chlorophyll is one of the finest blood builders and blood rejuvenators around.
Alfalfa has a very high chlorophyll content. It is an extremely well documented colon cleanser, deodorizer and detoxifier, not only of cells, but of the colon. Alfalfa contains octacosanol, an energy extender, and is very alkaline. Both alfalfa and the pectin in apples have been found to be beneficial in cholesterol reduction. They do their work in the intestinal tract, apparently binding up cholesterol and carrying it right through the system so it cannot be absorbed.
Organic barley is highly alkaline and is rich in enzymes, especially Superoxide Dismutase (SOD). According to recent research, the life span of humans and many mammals is directly proportional to the SOD content in the heart, brain and liver. Barley contains potassium, calcium and magnesium in large amounts and has abundant beta-carotene and chlorophyll. It is seven times richer in vitamin C than the equivalent weight of oranges, and five times richer in iron than spinach. It also has a purifying effect that enables the body to eliminate many toxins that would otherwise accumulate.
This is a freshwater, single-celled, green micro-algae that has been on the earth for over 2.5 billion years. Scientists say that chlorella has survived into modern times due to its inherent ability to repair its own DNA. It's composed of 60% easily digested protein - nearly twice the protein of soy and 8 times that of rice, and an immense amount of chlorophyll. It contains over 20 different vitamins and minerals including vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, beta-carotene, vitamins E and K, iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, copper, cobalt, iodine, calcium, magnesium and manganese. Studies have found that chlorella helps detoxify the body of pollutants such as heavy metals and pesticides.
Superoxide Dismutase is nature's first line of defense against the hydoxyl free radical, which causes cell damage and aging. SOD sprout concentrate is superior to "vegetable" or animal sources of Superoxide Dismutase. Also is rich in Glutathione Peroxidase, Methione Reductase, Catalases and Coenzyme Q10. Unique sprout source of SOD/CAT have a higher percentage of protein than eggs, the sprouts are a treasury of vitamins, especially vitamins A, C and K, and contain many minerals, such as manganese, chromium, selenium as well as stimulate the body's own production of antioxidant enzymes. Enthusiasts note increased energy, stamina & flab loss. Athletes like the speedy recovery from workout or strenuous training, pilots and travelers not decreased jet-lag and optimum energy.
Lecithin is found in every living cell in the body; Ambassador that gets fats and other liquids to mix for vital biological processes. Highest amounts in brain, nerves, sexual systems, semen, liver and gall bladder. Research has found it important to memory, creativity, positive attitude, vocabulary, coordination, sex function, hair loss and sheen, vital immune system and much more. In the brain, lecithin choline is transformed into acetylcholine, a compound essential for the transmission of messages from one nerve ending to another. This has a proven effect on memory, thinking ability and muscle control. In the liver, lecithin metabolizes clogging fat, lessens the chance of liver degeneration and helps remove fatty liver deposits. In the intestinal tract, it helps with the absorption of vitamin A and D and influences the utilization of other fat soluble nutrients such as vitamins E and K. In the bloodstream, lecithin helps prevent cholesterol and helps dissolve deposits that may already be there.
After years of research, came the discovery of GAMMA ORYZANOL,
the secret power performance nutrient hidden within rice bran.
In addition to the benefits of this natural super food whole rice
bran contains soluble and insoluble fibers, naturally occurring
vitamin E, silicon, the full vitamin B complex, and balanced amino
acids. The combined fibres of rice, alfalfa, barley and high pectin
apple fibre combine to gently "sweep" the lining of
the intestinal tract, helping to eliminate both dietary toxins
and carcinogens.
