Vegetables
& Green Drink Ultimate GreenZone is a convenient whole food supplement you
can use as a quick meal replacement to maximize your overall nutrition. It provides whole food nutrients that are
easily absorbed and is gluten-free and pH balancing. It also contains a proper balance of fats,
proteins and carbohydrates for stabilizing blood sugar and promoting weight
loss.
Unlike
protein powders and diet drinks, the nutrients in Ultimate GreenZone are
derived almost exclusively from foods and herbs, many of which are considered
superfoods. These whole foods help to support the body’s immune functions,
strengthen connective tissues, enhance detoxification and increase energy and
overall well-being. Ultimate GreenZone is a great food supplement for a healthy
pregnancy, athletic training and recovery from chronic illness. It has a low glycemic index, making it a great
whole food supplement for people with blood sugar problems as well.
Here are the
ingredients in this green superfood supplement.
Seeds (chia,
flax, quinoa, amaranth, millet and brown rice)
These seeds
are a great source of proteins, carbohdyrates and healthy fats. Seeds are
loaded with nutrition because they have to support a growing plant when they
sprout. Many of these seeds are considered superfoods because of their
nutritional density. They are also good sources of fiber, vitamin E and
monounsaturated fats that help keep our heart healthy and our body disease
free.
Vegetables
(kale, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, artichoke, beet, carrot)
Most
Americans don’t eat enough vegetables, so GreenZone supplements vegetable
intake with these vegetable powders. Broccoli and kale are cruciferous
vegetables, which means they contain sulfur compounds that aid liver
detoxification and reduce the risk of cancer. Kale and spinach are dark, green
vegetables, which contain chlorophyll, a great source of magnesium which is
missing in most American diets. Beets have historically been used to build the
blood and nourish the liver. Artichoke is also beneficial for the liver, while
asparagus supports kidney function. Carrots are rich in carotenoids, precursors
to vitamin A that promote the health of the eyes and immune system. These are just a few of the many benefits
these vegetables provide.
Spirulina
and chlorella
These algae
are a great source of amino acids. They help to stabilize brain and nerve
function, balance blood sugar levels and increase energy.
Papaya and
Acerola Cherry extract
Papaya fruit
is a source of the protein digesting enzyme, papain. It is also a source of
antioxidants like vitamin C, carotenoids and lycopene. Acerola cherries are a
natural source of vitamin C and bioflavonoids.
Herbs
(alfalfa, licorice root, lemon grass, chicory, horsetail, pau d’arco bark,
parsley)
These herbs
provide both nutritional and medicinal benefits to Ultimate GreenZone. Alfalfa
is rich in trace minerals and other nutrients which have earned it the reputation
of being the “king” of herbs. Horsetail is also a good source of minerals for
building healthy bones, skin, hair and fingernails. Licorice root helps to
stabilize blood sugar levels and increase stamina. Pau d’arco helps fight
intestinal yeast and bacteria. Parsley supports kidney function and chicory
helps feed the friendly bacteria in the colon.
Sodium
Copper Chlorophyllin
This is a
stabilized form of chlorophyll, the green “blood” of plants. Chlorophyll helps
oxygenate the blood and has powerful deodorizing and antioxidant properties.
Fructooligosaccharides
This is a
form of fiber that is indigestible by the human body, but helps to feed the
friendly bacteria in the digestive tract, promoting intestinal health. These friendly bacteria or probiotics, play a
role in the immune system by inhibiting yeast and unfriendly bacteria in the
colon.
Other
ingredients include lemon bioflavonoids, soy lecithin and bromelain from
pineapple.
Recommended
Use
Mix 2 scoops
(21g) in 8 to 12 ounces of water or juice once daily. It combines well with
pineapple or apple juice. You can also add it to smoothies. You may want to
start with 1/2 scoop and work up to 2 scoops, as this product can be very
detoxifying if you’re not used to eating whole foods.
