Rich in antioxidant compounds, Bladderwrack contains a significant amount of fucoidan (a sulfated polysaccharide) and a wide range of bioactive compounds such as: phlorotannins, fucoxanthin (the pigment that gives Bladderwrack its brown color), fucophlorethol compounds, alginic acid and fucoidans (polysaccharides, classified as dietary fiber), fucitol, the carotenoids beta-carotene and zeaxanthin, mucilage (soluble fiber), and vitamins and minerals such as iodine, calcium, sulfur, potassium, magnesium, sodium, zinc and vitamin C.
Partially defatted chia seeds are low in fat, an excellent source of protein and insoluble fiber, and also contain omega-3 essential fatty acids in the form of ALA (alpha linolenic acid), calcium, manganese, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. The seeds contain phenolic compounds like caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and the flavonols quercetin, kaempferol and myricetin.
Chlorella contains an amazing amount of essential nutrients; vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids such as ALA, complete proteins, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), peptides, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, beta-glucans, chlorophyll and energy providing sugars, like mannose and rhamnose. It also contains a vast spectrum of phytochemicals including the carotenoids lutein, xanthophyll, beta-carotene and alpha-carotene.
Coconut milk is high in fat, containing myristic acid, palmitic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and noleic acid. It is a rich source of potassium and contains a variety of vitamins and minerals.

Green Balance Alkalizing Blend® (organic) is a synergistic “green” formula of concentrated alkalizing superfoods.
A valuable source of naturally occurring phytonutrients, chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, it helps boost energy, assist with mineral replenishment, provide optimal support for the body, and helps the body to maintain a healthy pH balance.
Alfalfa Grass, Barley Grass, Oat Grass, Wheatgrass: Rich sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fiber, and phytonutrients like chlorophyll, saponins, coumarins, alkaloids, phytosterols, phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids and carotenoids, and a good source of protein
Densely nutritious, hemp seeds are rich in omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids at a healthy ratio of 3:1. Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is an especially beneficial form of omega-6 found in the seeds. They also contain high-quality easily digestible protein, comprising 20 amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids and the nine essential amino acids. Hemp seeds are a good source of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and vitamins E, K and some B vitamins. Additionally, the seeds are a good source of phytosterols and a source of some phenolic and polyphenolic compounds.
Inulin is a soluble dietary fiber (carbohydrate), and because of the β–(2←1) configuration of the fructosyl-fructose glycosidic linkages, it is resistant to digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Once it reaches the colon it is fermented by the gut microflora and helps in the metabolism of compounds, mainly short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which promote health benefits.
One of the most nutrient-dense foods available, Kale is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, potassium, iron, copper and manganese. It is a good source of vitamin E, several B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, amino acids and dietary fiber, and also contains some alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 essential fatty acid. Kale is also a very good source of numerous plant compounds like chlorophyll, the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, flavonoids like kaempferol and quercetin, and glucosinolates, which are broken down into biologically active compounds such as indoles like indole-3- carbinol, and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane.
Aside from being a rich source of iodine, kelp is a good source of vitamins A, B complex, D, E, K, dietary fiber and essential fatty acids. It also contains calcium, sulfur, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and magnesium
The nopal cladodes are rich in dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber. They are also a very good source of potassium, manganese, calcium, polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, carotenoids, tannins and phytosterols, as well as containing beta-carotene, vitamin C and fatty acids.
Rich in protein (about 60% by weight), sacha inchi seeds are rich in essential and non-essential amino acids. They are also among the best plant sources of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, and a good source of fiber, calcium, potassium, iron and vitamin E.*
This red marine algae, wild-harvested from the intertidal regions of Peru, is a gelling and thickening agent due to its carrageenan content. It is nutrient-dense - rich in antioxidant phytonutrients, potassium, calcium, iron, sodium and prebiotic fiber, and a good source of an array of vitamins and minerals.
Spirulina contains over 60% complete protein, is a very good source of nucleic acids, lipids and essential fatty acids such as gamma linolenic acid (which is only otherwise found in mother’s milk), and contains complex carbohydrates like polysaccharides. It is rich in beneficial plant compounds like phycocyanin, chlorophyll and carotenoids (alpha, beta and gamma carotene, and xanthophylls like zeaxanthin). A rich source of iron and magnesium, spirulina is also a good source of zinc, manganese, calcium, potassium, phosphorous and choline, as well as vitamins E and K, B complex vitamins, and is one of the few plant sources of vitamin B12
