SUPERGREENS

This combination of powdered green foods is a potent living food supplement to help you remain well in today’s world. It contains the green shoots of wheatgrass, barley grass and spelt grass, spirulina, alfalfa and a multi strain lactobacillus concentrate.

These foods will establish healthy bacteria in your colon, purify your bloodstream, chelate heavy metals from your body, give you increased energy and boost your immune system.

For the best results from a nutritional perspective, I recommend that you also take a liquid colloidal plant based mineral supplement along with your Supergreens, Although Supergreens contains some minerals, it is not enough for most people living in todays world. You have probably been eating foods that were grown on mineral depleted soils for most of your life, and the foods that you have been choosing to eat may not be the mineral rich foods to start with! (processed foods, insufficient fruit and vegetables etc)

Cost: 200g Supergreens $29.00
