Pure Green Power is a unique powdered drink mix formulated from a combination of six cruciferous vegetables (from the broccoli family), five natural grasses, and several “sea vegetables”, along with digestive enzymes to help promote nutrient assimilation. Designed for the many individuals who may not be eating the daily amounts of green vegetables recommended by nutritionists, two servings a day of Pure Green Power can provide the nutritional equivalent of eating four to five servings of green vegetables. The cruciferous vegetable sources used to make Pure Green Power are Broccoli, Spinach, Parsley, Dandelion Greens, Kale and Cabbage. The primary grass nutrient source in Pure Green Power is Green Kamut®. Although stories that the original seeds were found in the pyramids of Egypt are probably untrue, it is true that Kamut is cultivated under strict organic conditions, including neither being crossbred nor treated with pesticides. In addition to Green Kamut®, other grass nutrient sources are Barley Green Juice, Alfalfa Juice, Wheat Grass Juice and Oat Grass Juice. Cracked-cell Chlorella, which is a type of green algae rather than a plant, was included in the formulation of Pure Green Power because of its own nutritional content and potential health benefits. Sea Dulse, another type of algae or “sea vegetable”, is itself a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Thus, Pure Green Power is essentially a concentrated food, fueling the body’s needs to maintain robust good health. The green grasses and vegetables used in Pure Green Power are harvested at their peak and minimally processed at low temperature to ensure that the mix retains all the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc.  A unique step in the manufacturing process reduces the product’s humidity level to a mere two percent. Although the low humidity factor makes the powder more difficult to mix, low oxidation equals high nutrient value. Properly stored, Pure Green Power retains its nutrient value for a minimum of two years.

In addition to the essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals and fiber present from the vegetables, grasses and algae used in this product, Pure Green Power provides a coprevention of various diseases and may be important in certain critical body functions. The following are examples of some of the phytochemicals present in the vegetables used to make Pure Green Powder:

Sulforaphane - found in green, bitter, cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale, this phytochemical has anticancer (tumor-suppressing) properties. It also has been reported to inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that infects the stomach and duodenum and is a cause of peptic ulcers and related ailments, possibly including gastric cancer.

Carotenoids - plant-derived pigments that have antioxidant properties.  By inactivating destructive free radical molecules, carotenoids can help enhance the body’s immune response, retard certain aging processes and possibly help prevent cancer. 

Octacosanol - the most common type of policosanols, plant-derived waxy substances that have been reported to improve cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol levels.

Other ingredients in Pure Green Power include acidophilus, lecithin and four digestive enzymes. Acidophilus is a group of “good bacteria” that are present in our intestinal tract. As a probiotic, supplementation with acidophilus may help ward off gastrointestinal infections caused by “bad” or pathogenic microbes. The acidophilus preparation used in Pure Green Power is a patented form called  The Travelers Acidophilus™ that does not require refrigeration to remain active.  Lecithin acts as an emulsifier, capable of breaking fats and cholesterol into smaller particles so they can be efficiently metabolized. The four digestive enzymes added to Pure Green Power are a) protease, which helps in the digestion of proteins; b) lipase, which helps in the digestion of fats; c) amylase, which helps in the digestion of carbohydrates; and d) cellulase, which can aid in the processing of fiber. It is believed that the addition of digestive enzymes in Pure Green Power helps ensure that the body assimilates the maximum nutritional value from each serving.

Who might benefit from using Pure Green Power as a nutritional supplement? Pure Green Power has the potential to benefit anyone, from toddlers to senior citizens who do not eat adequate amounts of green vegetables daily. Persons who for various reasons may need a boost to their immune systems may also benefit from the use of Pure Green Power. Individuals who experience frequent stomach upset or other digestive problems may find that if used regularly, Pure Green Power could minimize or eliminate such problems altogether. As the nutrients in green vegetables can be important to muscle strength and stamina, athletes and active individuals may improve their physical performance by using Pure Green Power. Finally, for persons who may be already using Pure Red Power (a companion red vegetable-based product), drinking Pure Green Power 15 minutes later may complement the potential health benefits of the former.

How and when should Pure Green Power be used?  Because of the low humidity of the product, using a shaker is the most convenient way to prepare the drink. Place one and a half teaspoons of Pure Green Power in the shaker. Add four to eight ounces of water or a non-acidic juice such as apple and shake until blended. Serve over ice if desired.  Although it can be used anytime to increase energy and stamina levels, using Pure Green Power before meals may help improve digestion. Two servings per day are capable of providing the equivalent of the green vegetable nutrients our bodies require to maintain optimum health.  In short, Pure Green Power represents a convenient way for people of all ages to obtain similar amounts of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals as one might get from eating the equivalent of about half a grocery cart’s worth of green vegetables.

Pure Green Power is formulated without sugar, starch, salt, perservatives, artificial flavors or colors.

Suggested use
One and a half teaspoons twice a day, mixed with water or non-acidic fruit juice such as apple juice. For optimum health drink Pure Red Power 15 minutes prior to Pure Green Power.
