Discussion
Fruits and Veggies is formulated to provide a convenient source of indispensable phytonutrients, antioxidants, fiber, and digestive enzymes to complement a healthy diet and lifestyle.[1-5] A colorful blend of organic health-promoting “superfoods” have been incorporated into this all-natural greens and reds drink for their phytonutrient content and support of antioxidant activity.[6] TrueBroc® from broccoli seed extract is added for long-lasting antioxidant and detoxification support. Probiotics, fiber, and digestive enzymes augment gastrointestinal health, absorption, and utilization of nutrients in this comprehensive superfood blend. Organic flavoring and natural sweeteners (stevia and Luo Han Guo) make Fruits and Veggies not only healthful but great tasting, as well.*
Organic Fiber Blend Organic gum acacia, inulin, and flaxseeds provide a total of 3 g of dietary fiber per scoop of Fruits and Veggies to support gastrointestinal function and probiotic activity as well as to assure multiple health benefits from increased dietary fiber intake.*[7]
Organic Greens and Veggies Blend Organic carrots, green cabbage, broccoli, beets, chlorella, and spinach provide concentrated sources of folate, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and a multitude of phytonutrients that promote health and fight disease.[8,9] The greens in Fruits and Veggies are naturally alkalizing. An alkaline pH is needed for optimal metabolic, enzymatic, repair, and immune functions in the body.*
Antioxidant Support Ascorbic acid, organic astragalus root, organic ginger root, and organic lycium berry extract provide an antioxidant rich foundation to protect tissues from free-radical damage and promote cellular health.
Organic Fruits and Berries Blend Organic apple juice powder, strawberry juice powder, sea buckthorn juice powder, açai, acerola fruit extract, plum fruit extract, and blueberry concentrates provide additional antioxidant capacity and health-promoting phytonutrients.*
TrueBroc® Broccoli Seed Extract TrueBroc provides a concentrated source of sulforaphane glucosinolate, also known as glucoraphanin. Glucoraphanin is a phytochemical precursor to sulforaphane, a naturally occurring isothiocyanate in broccoli that supports and promotes antioxidant and detoxification activity.[10,11] Scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine identified glucoraphanin (GR) and sulforaphane (SFN) as the “missing links” that correlate a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables with the maintenance of good health. Broccoli sprouts and seeds provide higher concentrations of GR than the mature vegetable.[12,13] Glucoraphanin is converted to SFN via the action of myrosinase, an enzyme in broccoli that is released during chewing, cutting, or slicing. Microorganisms can also convert GR to SFN; the presence of probiotics and broccoli in Fruits and Veggies may enhance this conversion in the body. Research suggests that GR and SFN provide long-lasting antioxidant and detoxification support that may improve overall health and well-being.*
Digestive Support Blend Probiotic organisms L acidophilus, B longum, L casei, and L rhamnosus are present to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal microflora. A healthy microflora provides gastrointestinal and immune support and helps to moderate and eliminate pathogenic bacteria. Digestive enzymes (protease, amylase, bromelain, cellulase, lactase, papain, and lipase) in Fruits and Veggies assist in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and lactose to enhance nutrient digestion and availability.* Fruits and Veggies can be consumed by itself or as an accompaniment to any smoothie or protein drink. The inclusion of phytonutrient-rich superfoods and TrueBroc creates an innovative and ideal formula for antioxidant support.*
