Description: Why Enriching Greens?

"Do you get the recommended five servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily?" asks Dr. Mark Stengler, author of The Natural Physician (alive books) and, co-author, with Vince Ziccarelli, of Drink Your Greens (Impakt Publishing).

"While intake of fruits and vegetables in the diet is most important, if you can’t get enough, the best substitute is to supplement with the super nutrition found in green food products - whole food concentrates."

Studies on Americans reveal that a large percentage of the population consumes a diet lacking in nutritional value (John Erdman, Jr. The physiologic chemistry of carotenes in man, Clinical Nutr. Vol. 7: no 3: 101-6 & 105, 1988).

A study of 11,658 adults, questioned on their diet over a 24 hour period, revealed:

• 41 percent did not eat any fruit
• 72 percent did not eat fruits or vegetables rich in Vitamin C
• 80 percent did not eat fruits or vegetables rich in Vitamin A
• 82 percent did not eat cruciferous vegetables, which contain health protecting phytochemicals.

Enriching Greens is an excellent way to get health-promoting nutrients, enzymes, and phytochemicals at levels not available in other supplements alone.

Are all green drinks the same?

No! Natural Factors Enriching Greens has more of the green superfoods that can optimize your nutrition intake. The formula was developed by Dr. Mark Stengler, ND and Vince Ziccarelli, a Food Science specialist. Their aim was to create a unique, healthful drink that could boost energy, help detoxify, help guard against disease and support the body’s system.

Although there are other good greens products out there, Natural Factors new Enriching Greens stands head and shoulders above the rest. Here’s why:

• the most concentrated organic super green foods available per serving
• delicious taste
• added phytosomes
• botanicals included are designed to support all major body systems

The ingredients in an excellent greens product should include herbs and foods that make a difference, not just a random assortment for a good looking ingredient list. Natural Factors Enriching Greens includes standardized extracts of dandelion root, beetroot, and artichoke for liver support and iodine-rich kelp for the thyroid. Lycopene, cranberry, rosehips, grapeseed, the phytosomes and soya add phytochemicals that optimize the antioxidants in the super greens. Lecithin is a good source of choline, helpful for nerves and facilitates essential fatty acid and fat soluble vitamin absorption.

Recent research suggests that the carotenoid lycopene is helpful for prostate problems, has anticancer properties, and is one for the most powerful antioxidants for the cardiovascular system. The antioxidant carotenoids found in carrot juice powder and beetroot extract, complement lycopene.

Natural Factors Enriching Greens contains the best strain of non-dairy probiotic culture (L. rhamnosus) in a base of FOS (fructooligosacchrides). FOS are naturally-occurring compounds that increase the amount of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract. Acidophilus, bromelain and apple pectin work with the chlorophyll, plant enzymes and fibre in the super green foods to aid digestion and gentle cleansing.

Enriching Greens Tastes Delicious! It is sweetened with the natural herb stevia and flavoured with organic mango and black currant, a gentle digestive cleanser.

The harmonizing effects of both Siberian Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba help improve mental health and physical adaptations to stress.

Often called ‘nature’s most perfect food’ - we also include bee pollen from northern Canada’s pristine Peace River region. Although some have been cured of their pollen allergies by taking bee pollen, caution may be in order for those who have severe reactions to pollen.
