Ingredient Highlights
Almonds are a fantastic source of antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress which can contribute to inflammation, aging, and diseases like cancer.
Apples cleanse the colon of bacteria, viruses, yeast, and mold. They also support the liver, digestive tract function, and brain health.
Blueberries (especially wild) are among the foods highest in antioxidant power. They support healthy cellular function and triglyceride levels. Blueberries also contain a special kind of polyphenol called anthocyanin, which has incredible brain health benefits.
Cayenne pepper is a good source of beta carotene and antioxidants that support the immune system. The key compound in cayenne called capsaicin is also cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, helps prevent kidney stones and speed up metabolism, and has beneficial effects on the GI system.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) contains a compound called cinnamaldehyde that has been found to help ward off Alzheimer’s disease. Look for true cinnamon (Ceylon cinnamon) which has the most health benefits.
Coconut contains lauric acid, which is immune-boosting, antiviral, and antibacterial.
Maple syrup contains a number of minerals including manganese, zinc, calcium, and potassium. It also contains amino acids, antioxidants, and even some anti-inflammatory compounds.
Orange is best known as being a good source of vitamin C but is often overlooked for its other amazing benefits, such as supporting the immune system.
Enzyme 17 (formerly called P3E) is the most cutting-edge and powerful digestive enzyme formula on the planet. It helps clear away undigested protein that rots in the gut, reduces demands on digestive organs to break down and process food, and helps repair damaged intestinal walls.
Walnuts have been found to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes and may help lower inflammation throughout the body.
Deciding between Greek and regular yogurt? Regular yogurt provides more calcium as it contains the whey. Greek yogurt is thicker, has fewer calories and carbs, more protein, and less sodium and sugar than regular yogurt.
