It fights oxidative stress by protecting cells from damage and may reduce cancer risk. Digestive:  Beet Root is high in fiber which promotes gut health, regularity, and supports a strong immune system and encourages healthy bacteria which is good for gut microbes, improving overall digestion. Detox:  Enhanced blood flow and reduced inflammation support clearer, healthier skin and the same betalains may aid liver function and detoxification processes. Spirulina was added because Spirulina is packed with essential nutrients, including protein, vitamins (A, B6, K), and antioxidants like beta carotene and phycocyanin, which help protect against oxidative stress. It can help reduce body fat percentage and appetite, potentially aiding in weight management. Spirulina contains antioxidants that may help fight free radicals and reduce inflammation, supporting overall health.

We also included Chlorella. Chlorella, a nutrient-dense green algae, is often hailed as a superfood for its wide-ranging health benefits  because it contains all nine essential amino acids, rich in vitamins especially B12, C, A, and K., High in iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids which support brain and heart health and has antioxidants to help combat oxidative stress and inflammation.  Chlorella offers detoxification support by binding to heavy metals and removes toxins like lead and mercury from the body and assists in cleansing and improving liver function. It also offers cardio health by improving cholesterol and lower blood pressure and grants blood sugar control. Chlorella also helps to boost the immune system. It stimulates natural killer cells and antibody production while reducing chronic inflammation. It may help with Cancer by  using apoptosis which encourages cancer cell death and inhibits tumor growth. Chlorella helps with weight and energy. With its rich nutrients of B vitamins and chlorophyll aid energy production and will help regulate fat metabolism and appetite. Moringa oleifera, often called the “miracle tree,” is a nutritional powerhouse because it boosts immunity by being rich in vitamin C, zinc, and other antioxidants that strengthen the immune system. It helps reduce inflammation because it contains anti-inflammatory compounds like isothiocyanates and flavonoids that help combat chronic inflammation. Moringa can enhance energy because it is packed with iron, vitamin A, and protein, which support sustained energy without the crash associated with caffeine. Moringa regulates blood sugar which helps to manage diabetes. It contains elevated levels of antioxidants and neuroprotective compounds may improve mood, memory, and cognitive function. It neutralizes free radicals, protecting cells from damage and slowing aging processes and it aids in digestion since moringa has a mild laxative effect and may help with constipation, ulcers, and gut inflammation. We also included Turmeric in this blend. Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that can help reduce inflammation in the body. This is particularly beneficial for chronic conditions such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Regular intake of turmeric may improve memory and cognitive function. Studies suggest that curcumin can help reduce inflammation in the brain and may lower the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Turmeric is rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. This can contribute to overall health and longevity. Turmeric has been traditionally used to aid digestion and may help alleviate symptoms of digestive disorders. It can stimulate bile production, which is important for fat digestion. It may help improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression. Curcumin has been shown to increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is linked to improved mood and cognitive function.  The curcumin may have anticancer properties, potentially inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and reduce the spread of tumors.

We also included Horseradish because it is packed with nutrients. It offers respiratory relief because it acts as a natural decongestant, helping clear mucus from sinuses and respiratory passages and contains allyl isothiocyanate, which can help fight respiratory infections.

It contains compounds that inhibit bacterial growth, supporting immune defense. Horseradish contains glucosinolates and isothiocyanates may inhibit cancer cell growth and promote apoptosis (cell death) and it acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from free radical damage. Finally, it supports the digestive system by stimulating digestion and bile production, aiding in nutrient absorption and its pungency can help increase appetite and metabolism. Coconut Milk was also added because it has a wide range of health benefits. It contains Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) which are healthy fats that are quickly metabolized for energy and may support weight management and body composition. It contains Lauric Acid with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It may help support immune function, cholesterol levels, and gut health. Coconut milk contains polyphenols, tocopherols (vitamin E), and carotenoids which are antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Besides the above health benefits, it contains essential vitamins and minerals including Iron (supports red blood cell production) ~ Magnesium (important for muscle and nerve function) ~ Potassium (helps regulate blood pressure) ~ Copper and manganese (support metabolism and bone health). Finally, we added Wheatgrass. Wheatgrass is rich in essential nutrients, High in vitamins A, C, and E, it contains iron, magnesium, calcium, and amino acids. Comprising about 70% of wheatgrass, chlorophyll is known for its antioxidant properties and is often referred to as “green blood” due to its structural similarity to hemoglobin.  Wheatgrass contains antioxidants like glutathione and vitamins C and E, which help combat oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The phytochemicals in wheatgrass can enhance immune function by stimulating immune cells, potentially helping the body fight infections. Wheatgrass is believed to aid in detoxifying the body by removing heavy metals and toxins, supporting liver health. Regular consumption may help reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for conditions like arthritis and ulcerative colitis. Wheatgrass can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, contributing to better heart health. Wheatgrass may help stabilize red blood cells and improve their lifespan, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with certain blood disorders. The B vitamins and carbohydrates in wheatgrass can help improve energy levels, making it a fantastic addition to smoothies or juices for a natural energy boost.
