Golden Flax Seed

It is a tiny but mighty. It is one of the most nutrient-dense grains and one of the oldest crops in the world. Flaxseed was first cultivated in Babylon in 3000 BC. Today, flaxseed is popular around the world.

Health benefits come from the high amounts of fiber, antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids present in Flaxseed. A ground tablespoon contains 2 grams of polyunsaturated fatty acids and 2 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber with just 37 calories.

Flaxseeds are one of the best sources of lignan, an estrogen-like chemical compound that scavenges free radicals in the body. It contains 75-800 times more lignans than other plant-based food. A 100-gram serving provides 0.3 grams of lignan. Lignans promote fertility and impede peri-menopausal syndrome. Flaxseeds have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which may fortify the lungs against infection and disease. They also may support digestion, cardiovascular health, and balanced blood sugar.

The antioxidants in flax seeds provide protection from free radical damage in the breast, prostate and colon. The seeds contain alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), an omega 3 fatty acid that may inhibit DNA damage and promote DNA repair

Lions Mane Mushroom

(Hericium Erinaceus) is a nootropic (cognition-boosting) food very popular in traditional Chinese medicine.

A large body of research has focused on this impressive mushroom in the last few years, and the results are nothing short of astounding.

One study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry lists the benefits by stating lion’s mane mushroom is “antibiotic, anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, anti-fatigue, antihypertensive, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-senescence [anti-aging], cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and neuroprotective, and improves anxiety, cognitive function, and depression.”

Holy Shitake, that’s an impressive list! However, Lions Mane is a food, not a medicine and we make none of these claims. You need determine if it works for you. Even so, whether you are just curious what this odd-looking fungus might be good for, we are sure you’re going to be impressed. Wouldn’t it be exciting if it can regenerate damaged cells and assist with accurate gene expression throughout the body?

Sunflower Lecithin Powder

(Helianthus Annuus) Lecithin powder is a powerful superfood that is essential for proper brain function by strengthening and repairing brain cells. Plus, it is used by every single cell of your body. Lecithin is critical to healthy cell function in a number of ways: 1. By keeping the cell membrane soft and permeable so various nutrients can be more easily absorbed; 2. It coats red blood cells, creating a special layer of protection against potential viral and bacterial invaders which tend to target weakened or diseased cells first; and 3. It contains a powerful antioxidant called phosphatidylcholine that combats free radicals and is used by the body to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps your nervous system communicate properly; 4. The linoleic acid found in sunflower lecithin helps emulsify and break down fats, including those in the bloodstream, and is considered heart healthy.

Adding lecithin to your nutritional routine can not only impart all of the benefits of lecithin but can also ensure you get the full benefits of any other supplement you take by helping those nutrients more easily pass into your cells. It also provides oleic acid, which promotes healing by encouraging the body to release cytokines (small proteins) to repair injured areas.

Our sunflower lecithin is GMO FREE and is far superior to other sources (i.e., soy).

Hemp Seed Powder

(Hemp Seed Powder) – Because marijuana and hemp both share the cannabis sativa name and look similar, they create a lot of confusion. However, hemp is NOT marijuana and has NO psychotropic activity considering the seed has not germinated creating CBD OR THC. The hemp seed is one of the most rich and abundant source of natural protein essential for the biochemistry synthesis our bodies carry out.

Health benefits have long been established. In addition to soothing terpenes and cannabinoids, it contains minerals, as well as vitamins A, C, E, and beta-carotene. It’s also a good source of, carbs, fiber, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Hemp seeds contain high levels of arginine, an amino acid that supports proper heart function. Women could benefit from the gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in hemp seeds that shows promise for menstrual regulation and hormonal balance.

Organic Yam Powder

(Dioscorea Villosa) powder – is naturally high in the chemical diosgenin; which in a laboratory can be converted into estrogen. Wild Yam is considered a phytoestrogen food, meaning it comes from plants used to produce estrogen therapy and relief of menstrual-related conditions.

The diosgenin in Wild Yam has been studied extensively and research suggests it supports healthy blood sugar levels. Other respected studies further suggest it is also antiproliferative – which means it may help keep unhealthy or DNA-damaged cells in check. Yet another study suggests diosgenin may support healthy HDL production and help stifle unhealthy LDL production.

Traditionally, Wild Yam was used as an antispasmodic for colic in babies and some people actually call it colic root. However, most people use it due to the DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) it contains.

Cordyceps Militaris

It parasitizes the buried larvae and pupae of moths, butterflies and insects and grows out of them from 2-8 cm. Orange in color, it is also known as Cordyceps Flower. With some of the same bioactive compounds found in Sinensis, Militaris contains higher levels of Cordycepins (the scientifically significant key ingredient).

It demonstrates endurance and anti-fatigue effects. It also enhances lactate removal from muscles.

Organic Lemon Powder

(Citrus Limon) Powder – comes from citrus fruit native to Asia and known for its sour taste due to its high concentration of citric acid.

The Rich in vitamins and minerals, Lemon Powder is especially high in vitamin C.

One lemon can contain up to 64% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C which helps fortify immune function. It is loaded with other antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Tamarind Powder

(Tamarindus Indica) powder – comes from the fruit of a multi-purpose long-lived evergreen tree that originated in Africa and found its way to Asia and Central America. Tamarind is widely known for its anti-calcification effects on the pineal gland; which connects us to the energy and knowledge of the cosmos. This soft, succulent, juicy, fruit is commonly used in confections, chutneys, pickles, curries, preserves, beverages, and sherbets.

Even better, it is also loaded with several nutrient values including electrolytes, phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals.

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)

It is a refined and stable form of the amino acid cysteine that is found in most high-protein foods, such as chicken, turkey, yogurt, cheese, eggs, sunflower seeds and legumes.

Consuming adequate NAC is important for a variety of health reasons. Primarily, it bonds with two other amino acids, glutamate and glycine to create and replenish the most powerful antioxidant in your body, glutathione.

NAC also helps regulate levels of glutamate — an essential neurotransmitter required for normal brain function. However, too much glutamate can actually cause brain damage. Fortunately, glutathione helps keep glutamate in check. By helping replenish glutathione and regulate glutamate, NAC shows promise for protection of the brain against degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

People commonly use NAC for cough and other lung conditions, and it demonstrates antiviral properties. As an antioxidant, NAC helps replenish glutathione levels in your lungs and reduces inflammation. NAC can relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions by acting as an expectorant, loosening mucus in your air passageways.

Additional studies suggest that NAC may:

• Reduce oxidative stress that damages or kills reproductive cells while possibly Improving fertility in both men and women.
• Decrease inflammation in fat tissue and perhaps reduce insulin resistance to support blood sugar regulation.
• Lessen oxidative damage to the heart, which might — in turn — decrease the risk of heart disease.
• Boost glutathione levels and potentially improve immune function against a variety of diseases.

Turmeric

A relative of ginger, this vivid yellow-orange spice is common in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern cooking. Lately, turmeric has been touted as a super food that can unleash a tidal wave of benefits.

The curcumin in turmeric is an amazing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The body’s inflammatory response is relevant to disease. If your body thinks it is being attacked by something it automatically sends out compounds to cause the body to swell and bring on other complications, even depression.

During your lifetime the neurons in your brain multiply and increase in number. This process slows as you age. Curcumin increases the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factors which reverse the effects of aging on brain cells. Curcumin shows promise at slowing down the buildup of amyloid plaques that tangle up neurons in the brain and contribute to the memory-destroying effects of degenerative diseases.

Turmeric reduces fat mass by helping to detoxify the liver, the essential organ for burning fat and regulating your metabolism.

These benefits are just the tip of the iceberg. As studies continue, they are finding that adding curcumin to your day can lead to improved cognition, better cardiovascular health, and improved mood. What could be better than that?

Stabilized Rice Bran

(Oryza Sativa) – is a member of the cereal grass family. It was first domesticated in the Yangtze River basin in China some 13,500 years ago.

Rice bran comes from the hard outer layers of the grain and consists of combined aleurone as well as pericarp. Bran has high content of dietary fiber, essential fatty acids and other vital amounts of protein, starch, dietary minerals and vitamins.
