glutathione, potent detoxifier of alcohol, tobacco smoke, and
environmental pollutants, all of which suppress the immune
system. It boosts protective enzymes that protect the body
from aging.
 Alpha Lipoic Acid: Also a recycler of Vitamin C in the body and

well with CoQ10. It also is part of glutathione production. It
controls blood sugar and helps with nerve regeneration and
reduces cholesterol levels. Found in spinach and broccoli.

with healthy blood clotting, nerve conduction, muscle
contraction, lowers cholesterol, essential for bone growth,
provides energy; prevents muscle weakness.
Chlorophyll, phytonutrients and optimal use of vitamins:
Chlorophyll is the blood of the plant. It is strikingly similar to the molecular structure of human hemoglobin, the main part of human blood. The byproduct of plant metabolism is oxygen, and our cells need oxygen in order to survive. It also contains enzymes, which are the catalysts of life and play a role as anti-inflammatory agents, free radical scavengers and blood tonifiers in the body. It also contains high amounts of trace minerals, which help the body to maintain high levels of overall health. It also helps to alkalize the body, which helps to strengthen the immune system. Amazingly chlorophyll rich vegetables contain several amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. Even once juiced, green vegetables provide beta glucan, which is a water soluble fiber.
Red chlorophyll from red fruits provides potent anti-oxidants needed to fight free radical damage and help to repair damaged cells in the body, as well as enzymes and minerals. It is as important to get red chlorophyll into the body as it is to get green chlorophyll. Red fruit juices:
Dehydrated juices of nutrient dense foods that are rich in vegetarian sources of the carotenoid lycopene as well as other phytonutrients. Cranberries, apple pectin, strawberries, cherries, red raspberries, peaches, pears, papayas, mango, watermelon, red currants, nectarines, Pink grapefruits, blood oranges, pomegranates are good examples.
Advanced red fruit juices:
Green juices:
Green chlorophyll-rich foods that are also sources of phytonutrients, essential fatty acids, amino acids, anti-oxidants and trace minerals. For example, Green Kamut® juice, wheat grass juice, barley green juice, alfalfa leaf, oat grass juice, broccoli, parsley, kale, soluble rice bran, pineapple, carrot juice, spirulina, yucca root, black licorice root extract.
Juiced greens and sprouted grains:
Probiotics, Essential Fatty Acids, pH balancers, enzymes, carotenoids and naturally occurring trace minerals are found in a powdered base of powerful chlorophyll-rich green vegetable juices. Some examples include: Sprouted Quinoa Fennel Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) Vitamin E Sprouted Green Algae Oat Grass Whole Leaf Pumpkin Carrot Juice Powder Sea Vegetables Cauliflower Broccoli Kale Ginseng Carotenoid Complex Pineapple Vitamin C products should contain:
Natural vitamin C from Acerola and Amla berries, fat soluble Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmatate), bioflavanoids, and phytonutrient rich red fruits (blueberry and cranberry), ascorbic acid, calcium, potassium and magnesium ascorbates and selenium for maximum absorption. Anti aging formulas should contain
