Even the 'healthy' vegetables we occasionally
eat are usually grown in low quality, chemically fertilized
soils and the beneficial enzymes destroyed through cooking.
It takes a lot of diligence to regularly consume a lot of raw,
deep green leafy vegetables that supply chlorophyll, enzymes
and other nutrients that our organs and immune systems require
to function optimally.
Nutritional guidelines recommend consuming
4 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day; most people
eat only 1-2, including french fries. Moreover, even if nutritional
supplements are taken, most vitamin and mineral supplements
contain synthetic and inorganic nutrients, whose absorption
and utilization is questionable, and do not supply any of the
hundreds of enzymes and phytonutrients found naturally occurring
in concentrated whole food sources.
Another unfortunate side effect of the average
American unhealthy diet is what it does to our bodies’
acid-alkaline balance. Our body pH must be kept at a slightly
alkaline level (7.35 - 7.5) in order to preserve optimal health.
When it falls below this level, virtually all cellular functions
are sensitive to alterations of the pH balance of their fluids.
This is especially true of connective tissue cells. The body's
metabolic processes depend on a precisely balanced pH value
of 7.34 to 7.40 within cellular spaces.
If it wavers beyond these limits either higher
or lower, certain enzymatic reactions fail to occur, and cellular
metabolism becomes difficult to regulate. If the pH deviates
too far to the acid side, cell metabolism will stop and as connective
tissue cells become poisoned in their own toxic wastes, these
cells will die. The average American diet is very acid-forming
in the body, which leads to ill health, mineral imbalances and
deficiencies, fatigue, and even more serious conditions. Fast
foods, sodas, sugar and heavy meat consumption all tend to put
the body dangerously on the acid side. Along with transitioning
to a healthier diet, supplementing with a high quality vegetarian
whole food complex can bring the body into a healthier alkaline
balance.
Jozzer Super Greens is the first complete oxygen-enhanced
terrestrial and aquatic greens formula, super-charged with living
nutrients and enzymes. This oxygen enhanced formula energizes
and alkalizes the system, improves the intestinal environment,
and helps to cleanse and deodorize the body.
Key components of Jozzer Super Greens:
Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the green pigment
in plants that channels the energy of sunlight into chemical
energy through the process of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis,
the energy absorbed by chlorophyll transforms carbon dioxide
and water into carbohydrates and oxygen. The structure of chlorophyll
closely resembles that of hemoglobin, the iron-containing pigment
found in the red blood cells that transports oxygen to all the
cells of the body. The only major difference between chlorophyll
and hemoglobin is that the mineral element in chlorophyll is
magnesium rather than iron.
This close resemblance is the likely explanation
for the fact that chlorophyll consumption improves the oxygenation
of body tissues. Dr. Bernard Jensen, the famous naturopathic
practitioner points out in his book The Healing Power of Chlorophyll
that chlorophyll is able to remove toxic pesticide and drug
residues, as well to bind with radioactive materials and remove
them from the body. Some of the major benefits of high chlorophyll
consumption listed in the book are:
• Maintains body's pH balance • Detoxifies the blood
• Relieves bad breath and body odor • Improves insomnia
• Functions as an anti-oxidant • Revitalizes and
activates body cells • Removes mucus • Improves
thyroid • Increases red blood cells • Promotes healthy
circulation • Enhances metabolism • Helps retard
aging process • Strengthens defenses • Improves
digestion
Certified Organic Barley Grass is a major component
of Jozzer Super Greens and is regarded as being one of the most
nutritious of all plant foods, containing a broad spectrum of
essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids in high concentrations.
In its natural state it also contains thousands of enzymes,
which play an important role in the metabolism of the body.
One of these enzymes is the cellular antioxidant superoxide
dismutase (SOD), which helps detoxify the body from chemicals
and heavy metals. Research has shown that SOD can even restore
function and repair DNA in older and less active cells. The
following enzymes have been identified in green barley: •
Aspartate aminotransferase • Catalase • Cytochrome
oxidase • Dnase • Fatty acid oxidase Hexokinase
• Malic dehydrogenase • Nitrate reductase •
Nitrogen oxyreductase Peroxidase • Peroxidase catalase
• Phosphatase • Phospholipase • Polyphenoloxidase
• Rnase • Superoxide dismutase • Transhydrogenase
Very few plants contain the full range of amino
acids (the building blocks of proteins) required for growth,
repair and maintenance of tissue. Young green barley leaves
are 40 per cent protein and contain all of these amino acids.
These plant proteins are 90 per cent usable and easily digested
and assimilated. The following amino acids and related compounds
have been identified in green barley:
• Alanine • Amide • Arginine • Aspartic
acid • Cystine • Glutamic acid • Glycine •
Histidine • Isoleucine • Leucine • Lysine
• Methionine • Phenylalanine • Proline •
Purines • Serine • Threonine • Tryptophan
• Tyrosine • Valine
The Certified Organic Wheat Grass & Certified
Organic Kamut Grass have very similar properties to the Certified
Organic Barley Grass. Kamut is generally regarded as a grain
that is the purest and therefore, least allergy-inducing wheat
on the market. Kamut is a strain of wheat that was brought to
the United States as a non-hybrid seed.
It has remained non-hybrid (not changed / tainted by "man")
that is the reason for its exceptionally high nutritional value.
Wheat grasses, as well as Kamut, are high in Chlorophyll, active
enzymes, vitamins and other important nutrients. Wheat Grass
has long been regarded as practically a fountain of youth, and
thousands of testimonials over a period of several decades of
consumption have attributed to it almost miraculously powerful
health benefits. Wheat Grass is truly one of the best cleansing,
healing and protecting superfoods that can be taken. Certified
Organic Hawaiian Spirulina is a tiny aquatic plant, a blue-green
microalgae, contains 60% protein, essential vitamins and phytonutrients
such as the antioxidant beta-carotene, the rare essential fatty
acid GLA, sulfolipids, glycolipids and polysaccharides.
Its deep green color comes from its rainbow of natural pigments
- chlorophyll (green), phycocyanin (blue) and carotenoids (orange)
- that harvest the sun's energy. The nutrients in Spirulina
are easy-to-digest and rapidly absorbed. The beta-carotene in
Spirulina is ten times more concentrated than the beta-carotene
in carrots.
Beta-carotene is an antioxidant pigment precursor to vitamin
A that supports the body's defenses. Spirulina is also rich
in Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that
is also supplied in mother's milk. Aside from promoting the
development of healthy babies, GLA is essential for the health
and support of many of the body’s systems and tissues,
including the immune, endocrine, and skin and mucous membranes.
Spirulina is also rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals,
Vitamin B12 which is essential for healthy nerves and tissues,
many beneficial polysaccharides, sulfolipids & glycolipids,
and the rainbow of natural pigments that give spirulina a deep
green color. Green (chlorophyll), blue (phycocyanin) and orange
(carotenoids).
Apple Pectin in the diets of humans and lab
animals, has been shown to increase the excretion of lipids,
cholesterol and bile acids, and reduce serum cholesterol levels.
Pectins operate by binding with bile acids, thereby decreasing
cholesterol and fat absorption. Apple pectin has also been found
useful in maintaining health blood sugar levels.
Soynatto is a soy product that is produced
through a unique and proprietary fermentation process. Soynatto
supplies the clinically studied soy isoflavones, genistein and
daidzein, along with the added benefits of Beta glucan. The
fermentation process used in producing Soynatto yields a superior
whole soy food with enhanced bio-availability and digestibility.
Isoflavones are a class of phytoestrogens, or plant estrogens,
that can help preserve the skeletal structure by inhibiting
bone resorption. Isoflavones also have antioxidant properties
that can protect the cardiovascular system.
The North American Menopause Society suggests
that soy isoflavones can also be a natural alternative to estrogen
replacement therapy for relief of mild menopausal symptoms.
It may help offset the drop in estrogen and regulate its fluctuations
that occur at menopause. Many women have reported a reduction
in their hot flashes and night sweats when they regularly consume
soy foods, like tempeh or tofu. Beta glucan, another component
of Soynatto, activates an immunoreceptor in the macrophages
(a type of white immune cell), which in turn issue a general
stimulation to the rest of the immune system. This process enables
an enhanced response of the immune system, which makes it better
able to protect our health and well-being.
Chlorella is a green single celled fresh water
algae found in Jozzer Super Greens. Its size is about that of
a human erythrocyte (white blood cell), between 2-8 microns
in diameter. The name chlorella derives from two Latin words
meaning 'leaf' (green) and 'small', referring to the unusually
high content of chlorophyll which gives chlorella its characteristic
deep emerald-green color. Chlorella is also rich in protein,
vitamins, minerals," C.G.F." (Chlorella Growth Factor)
and other beneficial substances. Chlorella can have a strengthening
effect on body cells by supporting the functioning of our metabolic
pathways.
In tests, Chlorella was added to the diet of
mice with 'fatty liver'. After administration of this diet over
an extended period there was a marked reduction in this fatty
condition.
Mice that were injected with cancer cells showed a higher resistance
to this challenge if they had been fed with chlorella, Another
test showed that chlorella Growth Factor will improve their
resistance to abdominal tumors and increase the number of immune
cells in the abdominal cavity.
Chlorella can promote cell reproduction, reduce cholesterol
and increase hemoglobin levels. Since chlorella is such a broad-spectrum
product, it can help to support and repair organs and tissues
that have been injured by a variety of causes.
Numerous research projects in the USA and Europe have indicated
that chlorella can also aid the body in the breakdown of persistent
hydrocarbon and metallic toxins such as DDT, PCB, mercury, cadmium
and lead as well as strengthening the immune system response.
The fibrous materials in chlorella will also improve digestion
and promote the growth of beneficial aerobic bacteria in the
gut.
Dulse is a sea vegetable that is rich in potassium,
iron, iodine, trace minerals, and like Spirulina, is a vegetable
source of Vitamin B-12.
Lactospore® is the trade name for the bacterial
culture L. Sporogenes, a friendly bacteria culture found in
Jozzer Super Greens. These microflora organisms are spore-bearing
lactic bacteria that can survive as they pass through the very
acidic environment in the stomach. They easily proliferate (grow
and multiply) in the intestinal tract. Viable (living) cells
of L. Sporogenes have been observed in the feces long after
taking the probiotic supplement. Studies have shown that the
L. Sporogenes spores found in Lactospore® are highly stable
and are not easily affected by heat, acids, bile and other harmful
chemicals. Supplementing with probiotics such as Lactospore®:
• Helps prevent bacterial and fungal
infections • Improves the balance of intestinal flora
• Reduces intestinal toxicity • Reduces toxic burden
on liver and other organs • Improves overall health and
well-being
Green tea antioxidant polyphenols are 40 times
stronger than Vitamin C and 20 times stronger than Vitamin E.
Polyphenols have radioprotective action, anti-viral, anti-bacterial,
anti-tumor, and anti-parasitic and anti-cholesterolemic action.
Green Tea’s potent antioxidant polyphenols also protect
the body cells from the toxins being released from the storage
fats being burned. Green tea polyphenols include catechin, epicatechin,
epicatechin gallate, epigallo-catechin-gallate, and gallo-catechin.
These tea polyphenols, as well as the theophylline in the green
tea, enhance the process of thermogenesis, involving the metabolism
of fatty acids for heat production. The Green Tea Extract in
Jozzer Super Greens contains 50% catechin.
Acerola Berry Extract is made from the Acerola
fruit. This fruit is very high in Vitamin C, up to 4,000 mg
per 100 g fresh weight. Along with the Vitamin C and Citrus
Bioflavonoids in the formula, these give added connective tissue
and immune support.
Certified Organic Beet Juice, which has been used to facilitate
digestion as well as stimulate the kidneys and lymphatic system.
According to the research carried out by Drs. Ferenczi, Seeger
and Trub, red beet juice is believed to both stimulate and strengthen
the peristalic activity of the bowels as well as the neighboring
organs and glands: the liver, gall bladder, spleen and kidneys.
Royal jelly is a thick, extremely nutritious, milky-white, creamy
liquid secreted by the hypopharyngeal glands of the nurse bees.
Queen bees live exclusively on royal jelly and it accounts for
their incredible size and longevity. They average 42 percent
larger and weigh 60 percent more than the worker bee. Amazingly,
they live 40 times longer than worker bees, seven years as compared
to seven weeks.
In the wild, Queen bees will produce 2,000 eggs per day with
each day's brood equal to 2 1/2 times her own body weight. Biochemically
speaking, royal jelly is very complex. It is a very rich source
of proteins and contains eight essential amino acids, important
fatty acids, sugars, sterols and phosphorous compounds as well
as acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is needed to transmit nerve
messages from cell to cell. Too little of this compound makes
individuals prone to Alzheimer's disease. It contains gamma
globulin, known to stimulate the immune system and fight off
infections. "Royal jelly is an excellent source of nutrients
and is gentle to the system," says Steve Schechter, M.D.
Royal jelly contains vitamins A, B-complex, C, D and E. It is
particularly useful for its B-complex contents, including B1,
B2, B6, B12, biotin, folic acid, and inositol. Royal jelly is
high in the B vitamin pantothenic acid, recognized for its ability
to reduce stress levels. It also supplies the minerals, calcium,
copper, iron, phosphorous, potassium, silicon and sulfur.
Broccoli Juice Powder is rich in indole carbinol,
which is a substance that breaks down estrogen, and comes from
the phytochemical family. Estrogen is a hormone which seems
to promote the development of certain breast tumors, among many
other physiological functions. Some researchers believe that
a cup of broccoli a day contains enough indole carbinol to help
ward off these tumors. Dr. Paul Talalay of Johns Hopkins School
of Medicine developed a simple cell-culture test which showed
that certain cruciferous vegetables increase the activity of
protective enzymes that inhibit tumors; one in particular was
quinone reductase.
The responsible chemical in the broccoli that made this enzyme
increase is sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is found in cruciferous
vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and brussel
sprouts (as well as non-cruciferous vegetables, such as carrots
and green onions.
Aloe Vera Extract 200:1 formula contains the
Aloe vera mucopolysaccharide, which is a long chain sugar molecule
composed of individual mannose and glucose sugar molecules connected
together. Mucopolysaccharides are inflammation reducers, very
effective intracellular antioxidants and free radical scavengers,
and effective anti-bacterials and anti-virals.
Ginkgo Biloba Standardized Extract 24% has
been shown to be profoundly beneficial to the brain and cardiovascular
system. It is believed that Ginkgo biloba extract has a number
of vaso-protective actions including a relaxing effect on blood
vessels, a contractile action resulting in an increase of tone
in abnormally relaxed vessels, a protective action against capillary
permeability, antithrombotic activity as well as anti-ischemic
(ischemia is decrease in the blood supply to a bodily organ,
tissue, or part caused by constriction or obstruction of the
blood vessels), and anti-edemic properties.
Ginkgo biloba extract supports both cognitive and memory functions.
Studies suggest a range of pharmacological actions including
enhancement of neurotransmitter release, the inhibition of biogenic
(produced by living organisms or biological processes) amine
uptake and a protection of endothelial derived factor (EDRF)
central mechanisms.
Bilobalide, which is found in Ginkgo biloba extract, may also
reduce ATP loss thus supporting cognition, memory and overall
brain energy levels. Platelet activating factor (PAF) is an
inflammation mediator involved in various deleterious conditions
affecting heart, lung, brain and vessels. Ginkgolide B has been
found to be the most active PAF antagonist compound contained
in Ginkgo biloba, which makes it effective in inhibiting excessive
platelet aggregation and clumping.
Bilberry Extract 25% contains compounds that
are beneficial for the eyes. These compounds, called anthocyanidins,
have the ability to protect and regenerate retinal purple (rhodopsin),
and are the primary agents responsible for its ability to heal
and protect the eyes. The anthocyanidins in bilberry decrease
vascular permeability. How this works is not quite understood
yet, but it seems that bilberry anthocyanidins interact with
blood vessel collagen in such a way as to slow down enzymatic
attack of the blood vessel wall. This prevents leakage of capillaries,
decreases ocular pressure and relieves painful edemas.
The utilization of all the unique superfoods
and phytochemicals in is further augmented with the addition
of oxygen-rich Magnesium Dioxide, enhancing cellular metabolism
and ATP energy production for improved cellular health. Magnesium
helps in transporting glucose into each cell in the body. It
is also very necessary for burning or oxidizing glucose for
energy. For this reason, magnesium is essential for the body
to properly metabolize carbohydrates.
Truly a unique and powerful blend of natural ingredients, Jozzer
Super Greens provides the elements of life itself for optimum
health.
