Vitamin C (mineral ascorbates) provide an easily absorbable form of ascorbic acid essential for cellular antioxidant support. Mineral ascorbates are buffered forms of vitamin C, which will not acidify the body.

Zinc (Glycinate) is involved in more than 200 zinc dependent metalloenzymes. These enzymes are involved in nucleic acid and protein metabolism and the production of energy. Zinc has immune modulating activity.

Selenomethionine has antioxidant activity. It may have activity in detoxification of some metals and other xenobiotics. Selenium enhances the production of selenium dependent glutathione peroxidases (GSHPx). Glutathione peroxidases have detoxification properties and antioxidant functions.

Selenium helps protect cell membranes and vital cell structures from damage. By regulating free radicals and inflammatory mediators, selenium has anti-inflammatory effects. Daily adult intake of less than 900 mcg is unlikely to result in any adverse reactions. Daily intake (adult) of greater than 1000 mcg may cause adverse reactions.

Rubidium (Carbonate) and Cesium (Carbonate) are natural trace minerals that show remarkable ability to transport across cell membranes and favorably alkalize acid by products of cellular metabolism.

Calcium (ascorbate), Magnesium (ascorbate and carbonate) and Potassium (ascorbate and carbonate) have been recognized as alkaline ash macro minerals. These minerals help to alkalize acid waste products of our metabolism. As such, they help the body maintain an ideal pH balance.

Cereal Rye Grass has been shown to contain sterols and sterolins which support a healthy T Helper 1 and T Helper 2 cell balance and function. Anecdotal evidence suggests that RGE (Rye Grass Extract) may have in vivo effects including promotion of wound-healing, improved immune responses and a sense of general well being. These anecdotes have been supported by recent studies including immunomodulatory actions (Rubin & Levine (2001)), anxiolytic and sedative effect (Stough et al (2002)), and beneficial effect on restricted airway function (Cooper et al (2002)).

Barley Grass has been shown to possess potent antioxidant benefits due to the enzyme superoxide dismutase it contains. It like other green foods is an excellent source of chlorophyll with a long history of health reported benefits. The Japan Cancer Institute is researching Green Barley for possible anti-neoplastic activity. Analysis has shown green barley essence to be highly alkaline due to its rich source of enzymes, minerals, vitamins and vegetable proteins.

Blue Green Algae has been touted as the food of the future. It is a valuable source of complete protein, essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, chlorophyll, and also vitamin B12. The amino acid balance of BGA appears to facilitate the manufacture of neurotransmitters. BGA appears to have beneficial effects on liver function, blood sugar balance, appetite control; soothing and repairing inflamed mucosal surfaces, fatigue, energy production, etc. Several of the algae have shown promise in enhancing the clearance of heavy metals (e.g. cadmium, lead and mercury).

Since Chernobyl, spirulina (a type of BGA) has been used in Russia to counter radiation sickness, by boosting the immune system, especially in children.

Sea Kelp perhaps is best known as a valuable source of vegetable protein bound organic trace minerals. However, it is also an excellent source of protein, and vitamins. Kelps have been used traditionally for many health maladies, with reported benefits in energy, health and vitality.

Bee Pollen contains proteins, carbohydrates and fats, along with enzymes and trace elements. Bee Pollen extracts has been used to enhance health and vitality for many generations. Individuals hypersensitive to bee pollens should avoid bee pollen.
