Synergy Natural's Certified Organic Super Greens Powder (200g) - 100% Nutrient Superfood: 5-10g per day, average 25 days.
Synergy Super Greens provides a wide spectrum of highly bio-available whole food nutrients, balanced by nature, that are absorbed more effectively than those found in synthetic formulations. It can contribute to your 5+ daily servings of vegetables in a convenient and affordable way.
When choosing a Super Greens brand, remember that meaningful amounts of a few potent ingredients may be considerably more beneficial than low amounts of a large number of ingredients.
Ingredients: Certified Organic - Spirulina (33%), Barley Grass leaf powder (25%), Wheat Grass leaf powder (25%), Chlorella (16%), Stevia extract (<1%), a natural sweetener with zero calories.
Each ingredient is 100% pure and Certified Organic.
To preserve nutrient content, each bottle is nitrogen flushed to eliminate oxygen.
The cell walls of the chlorella have been cracked for superior digestibility and absorption.
Spirulina is a microscopic freshwater plant with a high content of easily absorbed and valuable nutrients. The protein is in a form that is five times easier to digest than meat or soy protein.
Spirulina provides all the eight essential amino acids that our body cannot produce, and require from a food source. Spirulina also provides 10 of the 12 remaining amino acids that the body can create, though is better served attaining these amino acids from a readily available nutritious food source. On a weight for weight basis, it is the most nutritious whole food known to humankind.
Chlorella is also a microscopic freshwater plant that contains more chlorophyll than any other plant. It also cleanses and detoxifies the body by binding to toxins to eventually flush out of your system. High in folate, B12, iron and a complete protein. Chlorella increases your body's insulin sensitivity to stabilise sugar levels. It also improves digestion, reduces bad breath, increases immunity, energy levels, repairs nerve tissues, normalises blood pressure, promotes healthy pH levels in your gut for good bacteria to thrive, and can enhance concentration and focus.
Barley Grass and Wheat Grass are green plants that are high in chlorophyll and fibre and contain a range of other important nutrients. They are highly alkalising green vegetables that can help counter the over-acidity of many processed foods.
Suggested Usage: Consumption can vary with activity levels, state of health and age. As Synergy Super Greens is a blend of natural whole foods, there is no hard and fast rule on how much you should consume.
Start with 1-2 heaped teaspoons (5-10 grams) per day, then adjust according to requirements.
5g per day (10 tablets of Super Greens powder) = 1 daily serving size. 200 servings per bottle.
Higher levels may be taken by those who are convalescing or following a cleansing and detoxification regime.
Food sensitive people should introduce Synergy Super Greens gradually.
May be taken with food or stirred into water, juice or other favourite beverage Children: ½ the adult amount.

More on ... Spirulina is approximately 65 to 71 percent protein, depending on growing conditions. These proteins are biologically complete, which means they provide all eight essential amino acids in the proper ratios. Most plant foods are not complete proteins because they usually lack one or more amino acids. Also, even if a complete protein is consumed, digestive difficulties can prevent assimilation of all needed elements.
Spirulina provides all the required amino acids, and in a form that is five times easier to digest than meat or soy protein. These eight essential amino acids are found in Spirulina:
* ISOLEUCINE (4.13%): Required for optimal growth, intelligence development and nitrogen equilibrium in the body. Used to synthesize other non-essential amino acids.
* LEUCINE (5.80%): Stimulator of brain function, increases muscular energy levels.
* LYSINE (4.00%): Building block of blood antibodies, strengthens circulatory system and maintains normal growth of cells.
* METHIONINE (2.17%): Vital lipotropic (fat and lipid metabolizing) amino acid that maintains liver health. An anti-stress factor, it calms the nerves.
* PHENYLALANINE (3.95%): Required by the thyroid gland for production of thyroxine which stimulates metabolic rate.
* THREONINE (4.175): Improves intestinal competence and digestive assimilation.
* TRYPTOPHANE (1.13%): Increases utilisation of B vitamins,improves nerve health and stability of the emotions. Promotes sense of calm.
* VALINE (6.005): Stimulates mental capacity and muscle coordination.
These are the non-essential amino acids supplied by Spirulina:
Spirulina supplies ten of the twelve non-essential amino acids. "Non-essential" does not mean that these amino acids are not needed by the body, but merely indicates that the body can synthesise them itself if it needs to do so, provided the appropriate nutritional building blocks are available. Nevertheless, the body is better served if these excellent protein components are readily and totally available in dietary sources, since all the amino acids must be on hand as the cells manufacture enzymes, proteins, hormones, brain chemicals and the other products of metabolism. Of the thousands of biochemical substances acting and interacting in the human body, not one is derived from a vacuum; the body is ultimately dependent upon nutrient intake for all of its functions.
* ALANINE (5.82%): Strengthens cellular walls.
* ARGININE (5.98%): Important to male sexual health as seminal fluid is 80 percent arginine. Also helps detoxify the blood.
* ASPARTIC ACID (6.34%): Aids transformation of carbohydrates into cellular energy.
* CYSTINE (0.67%): Aids pancreatic health, which stabilizes blood sugar and carbohydrate metabolism. Has been used to alleviate some symptoms of food allergy and intolerance.
* GLUTAMIC ACID (8.94%): With glucose, one of the principal fuels for the brain cells. Has been used to reduce the craving for alcohol and stabilize mental health.
* GLYCINE (3.5%): Promotes energy and oxygen use in the cells.
* HISTIDINE (1.08%): Strengthens nerve relays, especially in the auditory organs. Has been used to reverse some cases of deafness.
* PROLINE (2.97%): A precursor of glutamic acid.
* SERINE (4.00%): Helps form the protective fatty sheaths surrounding nerve fibers.
* TYROSINE (4.60%): Slows aging of cells and suppresses hunger centers in the hypothalamus. Can be synthesized from phenylalanine. Involved in proper coloration of hair and skin, including protection from sunburn.
