This is my favorite green food supplement. I recommend that all my clients and family start each day with 1 Tbsp of PaleoGreens mixed into their protein smoothie such as PaleoMeal or Whey Cool Whey Protein. The benefits are noticeable within the first week!

˝ gram of the broccoli sprouts found in PaleoGreens are equivalent to an average 1 cup serving (100grams) of fresh broccoli (based on glucoraphanine content—which is the precursor to sulphuraphanes). This means broccoli sprouts have a glucoraphanine content that is between 100:1 and 1000:1 more potent than fresh broccoli—depending on the broccoli variety.

A Nurses Health Study (2000) found that American women who ate the most fruits and vegetables had a 21-32% lower risk of lung cancer. The greatest protection was found with the intake of cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage) and citrus fruits. Another study showed a 41% reduction in prostate risk with intake of cruciferous vegetables. Did you have your PaleoGreens today?

Only Grass Juices, No Fillers or Bulking Agents
No fillers or bulking agents added (such as whole grasses, apple fiber or pectin, rice bran, or flax), which can greatly dilute nutritional potency and are a potential source of genetically modified material. Because the cellulose fiber in whole grass is indigestible, it prevents the grass's valuable phytonutrients from being released in the digestive system. For this reason, Designs For Health uses only grass juices. In every spoonful of PaleoGreens, you receive densely packed nutrition that intensely nourishes and strengthens every system in the body, resulting in sustained energy, enhanced recovery, mental clarity and overall well-being.

Harvesting of Organic Ingredients
Certified organic growers work closely with DFH to ensure the optimal development of enzymes and beneficial phytonutrients in PaleoGreens ingredients. These ingredients are harvested at their peak of potency and immediately concentrated and dried by utilizing proprietary cool-temperature processes that preserve their energetic and nutritional integrity. Studies have shown that these unique technologies offer unprecedented protection of the enzymes and other valuable phytonutrient constituents. The PET packaging further protects PaleoGreens from damaging light, oxygen and moisture after bottling. PaleoGreens has the highest quality and best tasting green food product.

Research Review
Why Are Dfh Paleogreens Unique And Superior To Others On The Market?

1. Organic Ingredients: which means free of
2. Paleo Profile: no grain/legumes fibers or
3. No alfalfa, a common ingredient in all pesticides, insecticides, heavy metals components, least allergenic. other leading brands (which was shown to cause autoimmune disease).

Not Enough Greens
Extracts of greens, fruits and vegetables are possibly the most important and most needed supplement for today's lifestyles. An estimated 77% of Americans are not getting the recommended 2-4 servings of fruits, and 59% are not getting the recommended 3-5 servings of vegetables. On top of this, white potatoes account for about 50% of the total vegetables consumed, mainly in the form of french fries. So, the percentage of people consuming adequate levels of phytonutrient rich vegetables might be less than 20%.(1) Up to a third of the children under 2 consumed no fruits or vegetables, according to the survey. And for those who did have a vegetable, french fries were the most common selection for children 15 months and older.(2)

Why Do We Need Fruits And Vegetables In The First Place? Man evolved adapting to a hunter gatherer diet rich in phytonutrients over millions of years. Only in the last 10000-50000 years have we begun to substitute fruits, vegetables and grass-fed meats with starches coming from grains and tubers, and meats from corn-fed animals and their dairy products. This diet shift is responsible for a much lower intake of phytonutrients and important minerals like magnesium, potassium, zinc, and selenium. Our physiology is simply not functioning properly due to the deficiencies and imbalances created by modern diets and we are paying the price with increased rates of cancer, cardiovascular disease (stroke, hypertension), osteoporosis, immune system deregulation, and various degenerative disease manifestations like neurological/eye disorders, and kidney impairment.(3)

One very important aspect of physiological homeostasis is the acid-base balance.(4) Modern diets are characterized by a severe acid load due to the predominance of meat and grain consumption.(5,6) We have adapted to eating meat(7) but it was always balanced by alkalinizing fruits and vegetables. The reduction of animal flesh consumption is often advocated as a solution to reducing acidity, but most people are unaware that grain products are acid forming as well.

The Food Pyramid can be blamed for many of these attitudes, but thankfully there now is a growing awareness of the detrimental effects of grains and starches. The elegant, evolution based solution is to replace grains and starches with as many vegetables as possible, and with adequate amounts of fruits. Also, an adequate amount of protein should be provided from primarily grass-fed animals which store these same phytonutrients in their body fat and milk.

A very simple method of assessing the daily acid load is the first morning urine pH. If it's lower than 6.8, the patient should become aware that they either need more alkalinizing nutrients like fruits and vegetables, green extracts and Ca and Mg and/or they should reduce the grain consumption, NaCl salt and carbonated beverages. The official recommendations put emphasis on increasing Ca intake, but if the typical diets were more alkaline to begin with, we would need less supplementation from Ca.(8) Practitioners should have their patients check their urine pH often. This would be a great motivator for patients to eat right and take their supplements.

Why did we choose the ingredients to be "Paleo"? Because we are trying to stay true to the philosophy that our physiology does best with foods and extracts that we were exposed to for millions of years. Unlike other Greens extracts, we did not include any grain derived components (like oat or pea fibers/particles). This is not just for the sake of a philosophy but because there is ample scientific evidence pointing to the detrimental effects of grains' and legumes' allergenic components on the immune system.

Lastly, we should note that the inclusion of alfalfa grass is very common in many of the other Greens products. Most contain alfalfa extract from seeds or sprouts/grass in spite of the fact that there is clear research showing that it may have adverse health effects. Alfalfa contains a toxic element, the non-protein amino acid L-canavanine, an antagonist to Arginine.(9)
