Harness the Power of the World's Most Nutrient-Dense Foods and Roots

Organic Spirulina:

Organic Raw Spirulina is a type of live blue-green algae found in most lakes and ponds.  It is also a source of other nutrients including B complex vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, carotenoids, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium and gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid). Imagine a vegetable with more protein than soy, more Vitamin A than carrots, more iron than beef, profound source of protective phytochemicals, naturally low in fat, source of the essential fatty acid GLA and is easy to digest.

Spirulina likes to grow in hot and alkaline environments which helps ensure its hygienic status, as no other organisms can survive to pollute the waters in which this algae thrives. Spirulina is in fact one of the cleanest, most naturally sterile foods found in nature. Its adaptation to heat also assures that Spirulina retains its nutritional value when subjected to higher temperatures during processing and shelf storage, unlike many plant foods that rapidly deteriorate at high temperatures. Spirulina algae is also unusual among algae because it is a “nuclear plant” meaning it is on the developmental cusp between plants and animals. It is considered somewhat above plants because it does not have the hard cellulose membranes characteristic of plant cells, nor does it have a well-defined nucleus. This allows it to be highly digestible in comparison with other algae such as chlorella.

Nutritional statistics of raw organic Spirulina:

• Spirulina contains more nutrition gram per gram than any other product in the world!
• 3 grams of our organic Spirulina have the same amount of phytonutrients as 5 servings of fruits & vegetables
• Spirulina has 300% more calcium than whole milk (good for bones, osteoporosis, growth of children)
• Spirulina has 3900% more Beta Carotene than carrots (good for eyes, strong antioxidant, immunity)
• Spirulina has 375% more protein than tofu (building block for muscle tissue, necessary in diet)
• Over 200 scientific studies have been done showing potential health benefits of Spirulina

Some possible traditional uses of Raw Organic Spirulina Powder may include:

• May support a healthy immune system response

Chlorella: 

This specialized strain of raw Chlorella algae has a thin cell wall allowing it to be easily digested. It is aseptically grown in closed stainless steel tanks completely eliminating the possibility of contamination from outside sources including microbes, pollution, toxic substances, and heavy metals. The thin cell wall increases digestibility by 80-90%+ over that of normal chlorella. This naturally thin cell wall chlorella powder does not need to undergo a separate process to break the cell wall which, can potentially damage the nutritional content. A secondary advantage of the advanced pure tank cultivation is that the chlorella has a naturally improved taste and smell when compared to those grown in open ponds. This strain is especially rich in chlorella growth factor (CGF) as well as vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and other phytonutrients. Our raw thin cell wall chlorella contains absolutely no added binders, fillers, or flow agents.

Chlorella is an emerald green, single-celled freshwater microalgae widely recognized as one of the most potent nutritional whole foods on Earth. Each chlorella cell is a self-sufficient organism with all the plant’s life functions taking place inside the cell. The result – an unusually high concentration of important nutrients. This tiny plant contains the highest known quantity of chlorophyll within a natural source. Chlorophyll is the ‘green blood’ of all plant life and has a chemical structure very similar to our own red blood molecules. Chlorophyll supports the transportation of oxygen around the blood supply and builds the red blood cell count. It nourishes and purifies the blood stream, kidneys, liver and bowel. Scientists and medical professionals have long recognized the importance of chlorophyll in the diet as a possible bowel supporting agent and natural deodorant, and topically as a wound-healer. Many green foods are good sources of chlorophyll, but results of recent laboratory tests show that Chlorella has more than five times more milligrams of chlorophyll per serving than wheat grass, twelve times more than barley and nearly 10 times more than alfalfa.

Advantages of our advanced pure tank cultivation method:

• High Digestibility / Thin Cell Wall
• Aseptically cultivated
• Consistently superior quality
• High CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor)
• Improved taste, color & smell

A staple in the diet of the indigenous Andeans for centuries, Maca a relative of the turnip and grows at very high altitudes.

Athletes have found Maca to be a natural support for healthy endurance levels, due to its sterol and saponin content. Recent studies have identified four alkaloids present in Maca known to nourish the endocrine system, benefiting both women and men.

Peruvian folklore suggests that maca, also known as ‘Peruvian ginseng’ may be helpful for men with low stamina, and animal studies in the laboratory have supported this. The evidence suggests that maca’s contribution to performance comes about through its supportive qualities of the circulatory system. Studies show that oral supplementation with maca may repair the biochemical cascade of events that makes this situation occur. The result is measurable improvement over time, without the health risks associated with prescriptions.

The agonizing pain of monthly cycles is something that women can never get used to. Maca root naturally supports healthy cycles. Through this support may come great relief from the common symptoms of these cycles.

Organic Beet Root powder:

Organic, non-GMO, raw Beet Root Powder provides a wide range of nutrients, but its most significant phytochemical is betaine. This plant chemical may support liver and kidney health by recycling the amino acid methionine to maintain the body’s stores of s-adenosyl-methionine, more commonly known as SAM-e. Betaine may also support the livers ability to process fat. This may possibly prevent the accumulation of fatty tissues in the liver, especially in heavy drinkers, and it also may support healthy lipid levels. The American Heart Association, recommends beet juice to support healthy blood pressure levels.

Organic Beet Root Powder is a nourishing tonic that supports the building of blood, particularly improving the blood quality for women. It also may normalize the blood’s pH balance (reducing acidity) and may support healthy circulation. Further supporting its role as a possible blood nourisher, Beet Root has been used to support a healthy detoxification process of the hepatic system.

Beet roots are sources of potassium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and calcium as well as vitamin A, B and C. Beets are a source of phytonutrients called betalains which give beets their dark red color. Betanin and vulgaxanthin are the two best studied betalains from beets, and both have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support.

Some possible traditional uses of Raw Organic Beet Root Powder may include:

• Supports the renal system
• Supports the detoxification process
• Betaine – plays an important role in the health of the cardiovascular system
• Good natural source of folate (also known as vitamin B9 & natural folic acid)
• Source of pectin which may chelate certain heavy metals
• Zinc – helps protect against fatty deposits in the liver & boosts the immune system.
• Normalizing the blood’s pH balance
• Helping to support healthy blood pressure levels
• Dimethylglycine – (also known as DMG) may promote healthy heart & cardiovascular system

Tongkat Ali:

Tongkat Ali (non-GMO), also known as pasak bumi or long jack, is a root traditionally used in Southeast Asia to support healthy vitality. Tongkat Ali is thought to work by naturally increasing male stamina levels. Other reported effects may possibly include supporting healthy muscle mass, encouraging a healthy immune system response and supporting mental clarity. Both men and women can experience the remarkable nutritional benefits of this amazing herb. Our Tongkat Ali Extract Powder is a 100:1 ratio meaning each serving is 100 times more concentrated than the whole root. 

Also known as “Malaysian Ginseng” and Ali’s walking stick, Tongkat Ali has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years.  Indigenous to the Malaysian rainforest, shamans have used this root as a folk remedy for wounds, due to its ability to support healthy tissue growth.  This amazing root is one of the most labor-intensive roots to harvest due to its dense woody nature.

People of Malaysia, Indonesea, and Thailand have used Tongkat Ali (long jack) root to support healthy vitality levels; as the powder of this root is still widely used in these countries today.  This is a sought after root for athletes and bodybuilders due to its ability to possibly support healthy metabolic fuctions.

Tongkat Ali also supports healthy lipid levels in the blood, acting to support levels of high-density lipoproteins and good chlolesterol (HDL Cholesterol).  Tongkat Ali may also be useful for supporting healthy glandular function, which naturally declines as we age.  This could possibly assist with the healthy growth of hair, skin and nails.

Green Tea Extract Powder:

Our Green Tea Extract Powder is a 98% extract meaning each serving contains a 98% concentration of total tea polyphenols, including 75% total catechins and 45% EGCG, while containing less than 2% caffeine.

Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan to the Middle East. Recently it has become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed. Over the last few decades green tea has been subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits, with some evidence suggesting regular green tea drinkers may have lower chances of heart disease and developing certain other health problems. Researchers have found an apparent connection between green tea consumption and a reduced risk of developing type 1 diabetes. The key player in this new study is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) found in the tea. The tea has also been useful for weight loss management.

It may also help protect fatty livers after a liver transplant. Green tea may even have fat-burning properties, which are related to a class of polyphenols called catechins — naturally occurring antioxidants that have a number of physiological and pharmacological properties.

Some possible benefits of our Green Tea Extract Powder may include:

• Fighting against heart disease
• Fighting Dementia
• Reduces high blood lipids
• Combating Arteriosclerosis
• Helping keep bones strong
• Fighting Cerebral thrombus

• Supporting adrenal function
• Helping weight loss
• Inhibiting the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) enzyme, which contribute to age-related degradation of the skin matrix

YERBA MATE TEA GREEN – ORGANIC

Yerba Mate is PACKED with naturally occurring nutrients and antioxidants. There are 196 volatile (or active) chemical compounds found in the Yerba Mate plant. Of those, 144 are also found in green tea. Yerba Mate contains 11 polyphenols. Polyphenols are a group of phytochemicals.

Phytochemicals (phyto- meaning plant) are recently-discovered compounds that act as powerful antioxidants and are considered to exhibit natural defenses of cellular destruction (i.e. lycopene in tomatoes, flavonoids in blueberries, and isoflavones in soy). The polyphenol concentration of Mate has also shown a strong correlation to its overall antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, polyphenolic compounds found in Mate tea differ significantly from green tea because Mate tea contains a concentration of chlorogenic acid and no catechins. As a result, mate consumption complements green/black tea use quite well.

In addition to polyphenols, Yerba Mate leaves contain saponins. Saponins are phytochemicals that have been found to specifically nourish the immune system and support the body’s ability to protect against disease. They may also support the body’s ability to have a healthy inflammation response.

In 2005, researchers at the University of Illinois studied 25 different types of mate. They found the tea to contain “higher levels of antioxidants than green tea”… Other studies have shown yerba mate to possess up to 90% more metabolism nourishing nutrients than green tea!

Mate also contains concentrations of inorganic compounds. The minerals aluminum, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, potassium, and zinc are of particular interest due to their importance in human metabolism and development.

According to Dr. Mowrey, Director of Mountainwest Institute of Herbal Sciences, one group of investigators from the Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific Society concluded that Yerba Mate contains “practically all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life.” They focused especially on Pantothenic Acid, remarking that it is “rare to find a plant with so much of this significant and vital nutrient… It is indeed difficult to find a plant in any area of the world equal to Mate in nutritional value.”

Some of the possible traditional uses of Organic Yerba Mate Tea:

  • Strong anti-oxidant
  • Supports the body’s ability to support balance
  • May support a healthy inflammation response
  • May support healthy weight loss
  • May support a healthy metabolic response
  • May support healthy adrenals

Dunaliella Salina: 

Dunaliella Salina for its extraordinary mix of carotenoids.

Dunaliella Salina is a single celled, salt-water micro-algae that under appropriate growth conditions can accumulate large amounts of beta-carotene and other carotenoids. Dunaliella contains other carotenoids such as alpha carotene and xanthophylls like zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and lutein. It also accumulates very high concentrations of glycerol.

High concentrations of beta-carotene and glycerol offer Dunaliella protection from the saline conditions and osmotic pressure of the environment where it lives. Natural mixed carotenoids found in Dunaliella salina are among nature’s best antioxidants.

Haematococcus Pluvialis:

Haematococcus Pluvialis for its high astaxanthin content.

Haematococcus Pluvialis is the world’s greatest source of astaxanthin, a unique natural carotenoid pigment and an extremely powerful biological antioxidant. A growing body of scientific literature shows that natural astaxanthin surpasses by far the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C and vitamin E.

Astaxanthin holds superior antioxidant activity and has the ability to support and maintain natural inflammatory response. Additionally, scientific research has proven that astaxanthin is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and the central nervous system better than many other antioxidants.

It’s free radical scavenging capacities is about:

  • 6000 times more compared with vitamin C
  • 1000 times more compared with vitamin E

Organic Black Pepper & Piperine

Putting black pepper on your food may be one of the easiest, most economical ways to boost your overall wellbeing. Piperine, the main alkaloid from black pepper has been shown to substantially increase the bioavailability of the nutrients in foods and supplements. As the quality of food declines and the costs of food continue to skyrocket, it is increasingly important to your health that the nutrients you consume are able to be used to maximum efficiency by your body.

Piperine is a pungent compound found in the fruit of the plants in the Piperaceae family, the most famous member of which is Piper nigrum, black pepper. It has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine as a restorative food. Piperine may be able to increase bioavailability of many substances through a number of mechanisms. The results of these actions are that substances reach, enter and remain within their target cells for longer periods of time than would normally be the case. Therefore, piperine can turn a marginally effective therapeutic substance into a highly effective one by increasing its bioavailability and intracellular residency time.

Piperine works by supporting the digestive enzymes of the pancreas, thereby supporting digestive capacity and may significantly reduces gastrointestinal food transit time. Black pepper or piperine treatment has also been evidenced to support healthy lipid levels in vivo and beneficially influence the cellular status of organic sulfur compounds, antioxidant molecules, and antioxidant enzymes in a number of experimental situations of oxidative stress.

In a study reported in the September edition of the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology the effect of various doses of piperine was determined. Results showed that piperine at all dosage ranges used in the study possessed possible antidepressant like activity and cognitive enhancing effects at all treatment durations. Researchers determined that piperine is a functional food that may improve brain function.

Some possible traditional uses of Organic Black Pepper Powder may include:

  • May support brain health
  • May support a healthy mental outlook
  • May increase bioavailability of other nutrients and compounds
  • May support a healthy colon and bowel
  • May support a healthy inflammation response
  • May support the immune systems ability to prevent the formation of mutated cells

Organic Turmeric Root Powder

Turmeric (non-GMO) is one of nature’s most powerful healers with the active ingredient of curcumin. Acting as a strong antioxidant and well known for its ability to support a healthy inflammation response, turmeric supports a healthy digestive systembrain functioncardiovascular system, and joint health.

Turmeric has been used for over 2500 years in India, where it was most likely first used as a dye. Recent scientific findings show that turmeric may support a healthy inflammation response: Turmeric’s ability to support a healthy inflammation response been shown to be comparable to the potent drugs hydrocortisone and phenylbutazone as well as over-the-counter anti-inflammatory agents such as Motrin. And unlike lab-produced pharmaceutical drugs, Turmeric has been shown to produce no toxicity, nor the kinds of stomach problems that commonly occur with pharmaceuticals with this same purpose.

 Many clinical studies have shown that the antioxidant properties of Turmeric may support the body’s ability to fight the free radicals responsible for joint health issues. Turmeric’s combination of antioxidant and supporting a healthy inflammation response effect explains why many people with joint health issues possibly find relief when they use the spice regularly, and in a recent study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, Turmeric was compared to phenylbutazone and produced comparable improvements in shortened duration of a variety of issues.

 Turmeric’s antioxidant effects help protect the colon cells from free radicals that can damage cellular DNA — a significant benefit particularly in the colon where cell turnover is quite rapid. By improving liver function, it also helps the body to destroy mutated cells so that they cannot spread through the body and cause more harm.

Recent studies have shown that Turmeric increases the detoxification enzymes in the liver, so much so that one set of researchers commented, “Turmeric used widely as a spice would probably mitigate the effects of several dietary carcinogens”. In our polluted, often carcinogenic laden environment, diet, and lifestyles these days, this can be very beneficial.

From supporting a healthy cardiovascular system to serving as a great source of vitamin B6 to further overall anti-oxidization, detoxification and blood-brain benefits, the health benefits of Turmeric continue to be revealed and discovered by new scientific studies each year.

Some possible traditional uses of Raw Organic Turmeric Root Powder may include:

  • Yielding approximately 4.1% curcumin
  • Supporting a healthy immune systemresponse

Curcumin Extract Powder

Our Curcumin Extract Powder is a 95% extract (30:1 ratio) meaning it contains a 95% concentration of curcuminoids. 

Turmeric is a member of the curcuma botanical group which is a part of the ginger family of herbs known as zingiberaceae. On average 2-4% of curcumin is what you naturally find in turmeric in its whole root form. While turmeric has many powerful active constituents, curcumin, is the one that modern science has taken quite an interest in.  It is believed and well documented that turmeric in either its standardized form with a minimum of 95% of this active ingredient or whole form (usually added to either a fat or pepper extract) is a major key in supporting optimal wellness. Much of today’s science is focused on the ability for the body to have a healthy inflammation response and its relationship to disease.  This is where turmeric is believed to be of great value and the research clearly back this up 100%.

The research on curcumin shows it’s ability to support the body in multiple ways. First, it may support the body’s ability to modulate 700 different genes. As a part of that modulation process, it may support over 160 different physiological pathways. Next, by possibly supporting the body’s ability to make cell membranes more orderly, it may have a direct effect on signaling specific types of molecules. This signal reaction has shown to possibly interact directly with how cell survival proteins maintain integrity under extreme cellular distress. Curcumin’s ability to cross the blood-brain barrier has sparked much research into its ability to possibly support healthy neurological function. There are several characteristics that make this possible. It’s natural antioxidant compounds (ORAC score of 160,000) and its ability to support a healthy inflammation response, in and of itself, may support the function of a healthy brain.  

Additionally, curcumin may support the body’s ability to help prevent the production of beta-amyloids. This is accomplished in several ways. It may reduce levels of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules that promote beta-amyloids. It may limit oxidation of crucial fats and proteins which trigger enzymes involved in beta amyloid formation. It may support cleanup of existing beta amyloid deposits. Because curcumin is nontoxic and does not adversely affect healthy cells; it leaves this compound open for much more research on its potential uses.  

This is all just the tip of the iceberg! Curcumin has a very impressive track record for long term results and safety as well. Curcumin is a clear and simple choice whether being used as an extract or added to your food to possibly support optimal health.

Some possible traditional uses of 95% Curcumin Extract Powder may include:

  • May support a healthy immune system response
  • May support healthy brain functions

Catuaba Extract

Catuaba Extract is a medicinal extract that comes from the bark of several different trees found in Brazil. However, one study proves that many commercially available samples of catuaba containe bark from Trichilia catigua. For the most part, though, several plants and trees native to Brazil are used — both historically and today — to extract the substance known as catuaba.

It goes by many names, including Erythroxylum catuaba, Chuchuhuasha and Golden Trumpet. Of course, many just refer to it simply as ‘catuaba.’

Catuaba is commonly used in traditional medicine to help with a wide range of issues that include sexual health, memory and fatigue. It also helps to promote anti-aging (x). But due to the variety of sources used to create this extract, it can be confusing to know the exact conditions it can help with.

One can treat anxiety in numerous ways with different types of medication, exercises or therapies. Such treatments need to be taken seriously and handled by a doctor or other professionals. Catuaba serves as one of the possible treatments.

You may have seen warnings on medication about not driving or operating machinery when using. This is due, in part, to the impairment of your motor skills that can occur. However, studies done in 2018 by BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that catuaba does not affect the body in that way (x). In fact, there is partial support for the folk use of catuaba as a reliever of fatigue, which is a common symptom of anxiety (x).

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), 18 percent of the population suffers from anxiety (nearly one in every five people). Although this is a treatable condition, many do not get the help necessary (x). Panic attacks are usually a result of anxiety — a condition that includes a multitude of symptoms. People suffering from anxiety may experience changes in their heart rate and breathing, like during a panic attack (x).

Like anxiety, depression is a serious condition that needs to be treated by healthcare professionals. Medication, exercise, therapy or lifestyle changes may be suggested. In most cases, depression requires some form of intervention. Waiting it out may make it worse for some patients.

Studies have found catuaba extract can help to release serotonin (x). Serotonin is found naturally in our bodies and controls appetite, sleep and sexual desire (x). When we have ample stores of serotonin flowing through our body, mood is at an optimal state. Depression is commonly a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain, and this often includes serotonin levels.

If catuaba can help to raise serotonin levels, then there is the possibility that the patient’s depression could lift or lighten. Any treatment of depression should be under medical supervision or direction to ensure the patient’s safety.

A study in 2005 found that catuaba extract had some anti-depressant-like effects on rats and mice (x).

A study from 2008 found that catuaba had some effect on the cells involved in Parkinson’s disease and its symptoms (x).

Inflammation is a normal reaction within the body, but chronic inflammation can cause many serious illnesses. Reducing inflammation is a common goal amongst those who are wishing to improve their overall health, and a study in 2008 showed that there is evidence to suggest that catuaba has anti-inflammatory properties (x).

Some possible traditional uses of catuaba extract may include:

  • May relieve stress and anxiety
  • May help raise serotonin levels and fight depression
  • May help reduce inflammation

Green Coffee Bean Extract

Our Green Coffee Bean Extract Powder is made from organically grown ripe raw coffee beans/seeds and then low temperature extracted with alcohol and water to a 50% concentration of the chlorogenic acid.

Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol that is especially abundant in coffee, and may be credited with providing many of its beneficial effects.

Along with other polyphenols, chlorogenic acid may possibly help drive down the chronic inflammation that is associated with many common diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis. Interestingly enough most of the protective effect of coffee are evident whether caffeinated or decaffeinated.

Coffee cherries are the berries of the Coffea plant, which contain the coffee seeds (commonly referred to as coffee beans), and are produced by several species of evergreen shrubs which are cultivated in over 70 countries around the world. The most commonly grown and highest regarded species is Coffea arabica. Once ripe, the red or purple coffee berries are picked and dried. The seeds are then roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor, before being ground and brewed to create coffee.

Coffee consumption has been associated with lower risk of death. That risk reduction applied to what epidemiologists call “all-cause mortality,” that is, coffee drinking was associated with a markedly lower risk of dying for any reason at all. The survival association with coffee drinking and death applied to the risk of dying from specific diseases, including heart and lung disease, stroke, diabetes, and infections. It even applied to the risk of dying from injuries and accidents.

Rich in polyphenols, coffee contains over 1,000 different natural compounds that favorably interact within cells. Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants but polyphenols have other, more complex action, including the surprising ability to possibly modulate gene expression, regulating how much and how often a particular gene is “switched on”. That means that polyphenols regulate many of a cell’s most fundamental processes, including signaling that tells cells when to die, when to replicate, when to release or respond to other chemical signals, and so on. That means coffee may have the ability to turn on genes that promote youthful cellular functions.

The net effects of this impact on cellular signaling may include improvements in tissue repair, immunity, and the body’s ability to maintain itself in a steady state, called homeostasis. Impaired cellular signaling has been implicated in causing cancer, type 2 diabetes, and the risks for heart disease and stroke.

Coffee’s chlorogenic acid can cut the after-meal glucose surge that’s known to increase cardiovascular risks in people with diabetes. Other components in coffee may enhance this effect by reducing carbohydrate storage and maybe even improving insulin sensitivity.

The mechanisms by which coffee consumption may reduce cardiovascular problems are many and diverse. Polyphenols found in coffee may enhance cholesterol outflow from arterial wall cells, thereby possibly reducing the risk of plaque formation.

Raw, non-GMO Muira Puama Root is said to possibly support the psychological and physical aspects of vitality and a healthy female cycles. Muira Puama is one of the most active botanicals with a long history of traditional use as an energy tonic. It is known in some circles as “the Invigorator of the Amazon” and in fact, many people consider it the new Yohimbe but with considerably less possible side effects.

Muira Puama was the subject of a study conducted by the UCLA School of Medicine. The study showed a significant improvement in both endurance and impulses. The Amazon natives have known this for centuries, as this herb has been widely used as an excitatory plant by both men and women, and is commonly known as “potent wood”. The short term effects of Muira Puama may help support healthy circulation. Longer term use may support the production of jing.

Muira Puama has also been as a possible support of a healthy stress response and sensory response. It has been used to tonify the senses and to perhaps support the body in cases of mild exhaustion. It may also support a healthy digestive system.
