Tomato: These berries (yes really) are known for the high content of the carotenoid lycopene. There is strong clinical evidence suggesting that lycopene helps protect against cellular damage specifically for heart tissue. They are also high in Vitamins C, A and B’s. Brussels sprout: This member of the cabbage family is high in isothiocyanates and sulforaphane which are compounds known to prohibit cellular proliferation and combat carcinogens.

Preservation & Longevity

Fruits provide antioxidants for a healthy brain and protection for the cardiovascular system.

Lemon: Lemons are a major source of Vitamin C and phytochemicals called limonoids, specifically, limonene and limonin. Getting adequate Vitamin C in our diets is crucial for collagen formation, and for the manufacturing of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen through the bloodstream. Apple: Apples provides an extensive list of powerful phytochemicals, including the flavonoid quercetin, known to have cardiovascular protective qualities as well as boosting immune response and lowering inflammation. This fruit is loaded with antioxidants, making it a vital tool in protecting against oxidative stress. Tart Cherry: Tart and sour cherry varieties are filled with antioxidant compounds such as ellagic acid which has shown to be both anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic. Cherries also have high concentrations of anthocyanins; this is what gives the fruit its bright color. These anthocyanins are natural COX-2 inhibitors which fight against pain and inflammation. Raspberry: Raspberries are best known for their considerable amounts of ellagic acid, which has shown to promote apoptosis of irregular cells. They also contain anthocyanins, which inhibit COX-2 and help fight inflammation and pain. Pomegranate: Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants and polyphenolic compounds that offer protection against free radicals and oxidative stress. Beloved for their juice, this ancient fruit provides nutrients such as iron, magnesium, manganese, and Vitamins C and K making this a heart-healthy and cardiovascular super fruit. Blueberry: Blueberries are touted as the memory superfood, packed with polyphenols, they have the highest ORAC value of any food in the world. Which simply means they are antioxidant heroes that offer brain health benefits and protection for the cardiovascular system.

Purification & Restoration

Designed to purify and protect the liver with powerful phytochemicals that bind to pollutants and provide our bodies with detoxification support.

Spirulina: This nutrient dense super food is high in protein, iron, and calcium as well as containing gamma-linolenic acid an essential fatty acid that offers anti-inflammatory properties. Other nutrients found are beta-carotene, copper, selenium, and B vitamins. Milk Thistle: The key flavonoid found in Milk Thistle is silymarin, which has been used historically for over 2,000 years to support the liver. This compound has been shown to support both liver and kidney cells, aid in digestion, and plays a role in phase II detoxification. Chlorella: A member of the microalgae family, chlorella is abundant with chlorophyll and nucleic acid, a rich nutrient factor that facilitates our own bodies cellular repair and renewal. The outer cell wall also binds to toxins, heavy metals, and carcinogens, making it a major detoxifier. Turmeric: One of the most revered plants in Ayurveda, the Indian traditional medicinal system, Turmeric is commonly used to help lower inflammation and supports detoxification. This powerful root extract is also known as a potent antioxidant, offering cellular protection against free radicals. Dandelion: The root of the beneficial plant, holds a potent compound called taraxacin, which has shown to promote the release of bile from the liver and gall bladder, stimulating digestion. It is commonly used to help support liver detoxification. Cilantro: High in both Vitamin A and Quercetin, this herb ranks high as antioxidant. There is evidence that it can help remove heavy metals. Cilantro also has antibacterial compounds that studies have shown to help keep the urinary tract healthy. Broccoli: Sulforaphane, found in Broccoli, is a potent Nrf-2 promoter, which is considered the master switch for over 1000 genes throughout the body. This powerful compound provides cellular protection and is responsible for phase II detoxification enzymes. Bilberry: Filled with anthocyanins, Bilberry has shown to support vision and eye tissue, improve eye disorders, and may improve liver function.

Protection & Focus

Mushrooms are long valued for their many functional benefits, including; immune, energy, vitality, stress response, memory and focus

Lion’s Mane: Hericium erinaceus, clinically, has been used for thousands of years in Asia and in N. America to support digestion and cognitive enhancement. Studies indicate that this mushroom may stimulate the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which is a specialized protein responsible for the growth of new sensory neurons. It has also shown to help promote the growth of myelin sheath, which is crucial for healthy nerve transmissions. Cordyceps: C. sinensis has several important applications, including improving fatigue, adrenal health, respiratory support, kidney health, and cardiovascular benefits. But this list goes on even further, making it a well-studied and widely used mushroom throughout Asia. Reishi: One of the most revered mushrooms in Asia, Ganoderma lucidum is mostly used for its immune enhancement support. Several studies show anti-tumor activity as well as increased T cell production. Reishi is also known to be a liver protector, have anti-inflammatory properties and help balance blood sugar levels. Shiitake: Lentinula Edodes is the second most common edible mushroom in the world and has been used for thousands of years by both Chinese and Japanese royalty as the preferred treatment to combat immune disfunctions. Shiitake yields high amounts of polysaccharides known as 1-3 beta-D-glucan, which are powerful immune boosting compounds. Maitake: Grifola frondose has been used as an immu
