SPIRULINA
This microscopic blue green algae is found in the alkaline waters of shallow lakes.

Spirulina is known as a wonder food and was part of the staple diet of the ancient Aztec civilizations. It is higher in protein, Vitamin B12 and Iron than most other food sources. It also contains liberal quantities of Betacarotene, Chlorophyll, Vitamin E and the minerals, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc. Because Spirulina is particularly nutritious it is used as a slimming supplement. If taken 30 minutes before eating, it is believed the natural, concentrated amino acid content of this algae can trick the brain into believing that the appetite has been satisfied after only a little food has been consumed.

BARLEY GRASS

Barley grass provides chlorophyll and enzymes required by the body. The young shoots of the barley grass is rich with natural vitamins, minerals and amino acids, so necessary for normal functioning of the body. Barley green assists with elimination, it is rich in live enzymes, and is particularly valuable when we lack fresh, raw vegetables as the major component. When taking the alkaline nature of the green barley into account the effect is very beneficial.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in the barley shoots. It's considered essential to life. They contain the full range of amino acids, including the essential amino acids. This highly digestible form of protein is not accompanied by saturated fats.

CHLOROPHYLL
The natural cleanser

Chlorophyll is the amazing green substance in plants, which transforms the energy of the sun into food sugars. Chlorophyll is rich in trace minerals and has almost the same chemical components as human blood. As such it is useful as a blood tonic.

Rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals, this highly nutritious substance also contains useful deodorising and cleansing properties. Chlorophyll may also assist in the healing of wounds and tissues and as a liver tonic.

Most plant cells do not produce chlorophyll unless the plant is exposed to light. This process of photosynthesis is why plants kept away from light are white or yellow rather than green. By means of chlorophyll, living plant cells can charge light energy. Plant cells take carbon dioxide from the air, water and soil. The cells change carbon dioxide and water into sugars or other simple organic compounds.
