Udo's Beyond Greens 255g Powder

Get Greens - Get Energized

Beyond Greens gives you premium greens from organically grown barley, alfalfa, oat and rye grasses, plus spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, parsley and kale. These greens are rich in detoxifying chlorophyll, and provide naturally balanced vitamins, minerals and protein to keep you in top form. For example, barley grass contains diverse nutrients that include calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, B-vitamins, carotene and vitamins C and E.

Fats That Heal

With so many greens to choose from, why not take a step Beyond Greens? A key factor that sets Beyond Greens apart is its high amount of essential fatty acids (EFAs). Each tablespoon provides over 1,000 mg of high quality oil from the same balanced mixture of flax, sunflower and sesame seeds as is used in Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend.

EFAs are required by every cell of the body for proper development, optimal function and structural renewal. Research shows that EFAs benefit inflammation, autoimmune diseases, skin conditions, high blood pressure, cholesterol levels and neural functions as well as brain function, hormonal health, child development, bone strength and insulin function. Furthermore, EFAs increase fat metabolism, decrease fat production and storage and are a source of long-lasting energy, strength and endurance.

Deep Cleansing Fibre

Beyond Greens supplies soluble fibre, which carries cholesterol out of the body and feeds friendly intestinal bacteria, as well as insoluble fibre, which adds needed bulk to assist regular elimination. These fibres help reduce the risk of developing disease, stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce cravings. The average person consumes only about ten grams of fibre a day, which is less than half of the recommended daily amount.

Without adequate fibre in the diet, food takes much longer to pass through the digestive tract. This stagnating food builds up 'sludge' or residue that clings to the microvilli, which are hair-like projections that line the entire intestinal tract. When these microvilli are covered with residue, nutrients cannot be fully absorbed for health and energy. The fibre in Beyond Greens loosens this residue and gently scrubs the microvilli. Once the microvilli are clean, they can absorb a much greater amount of nutrients and vitamins. Three servings of Beyond Greens throughout the day will add five grams of fibre to the diet.

Antioxidant Protection

Beyond Greens also contains antioxidant-rich whole food concentrates and phytonutrients, such as greens, carrots, soy sprouts, kale, and bilberry, as well as standardized Grape Seed Extract.

Increasingly, scientific studies are confirming that antioxidants are one of the most powerful, natural disease fighters. Antioxidants combat the free radical damage that is at the root of many degenerative diseases as well as the aging process.

Flaxseed is the highest known source of lignans, which are special antioxidants found in plant fibre. Research is uncovering their amazing antibacterial, antiviral and anti-tumour activity and they have also have shown positive scientific results for relieving the symptoms of menopause and treating hormone-related diseases like breast, uterine and prostate cancers.

Beyond Greens contains 6 different kinds of ingredients, all of which are rich in the natural principles that enhance the body's inherent healing ability. These include:

1. Specially selected oil seeds, the best sources of omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids (EFAs), carefully processed and properly balanced to provide the best health support. The oil seeds are also chosen for their content of "minor ingredients" with major benefits to health.

2. Green foods that are rich in chlorophyll, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, and phyto-nutrient factors.

3. The best natural sources of both kinds of fibre: insoluble, which bulks stools and leads to better elimination; and soluble fibre which, in addition to improving elimination, also escorts cholesterol from the body, stabilises blood glucose, feeds friendly bowel micro-organisms, and ties up toxins in the gut for elimination.

4. A special selection of the vegetables richest in the phyto-nutrients (sometimes erroneously called 'nutraceuticals' or 'phytochemicals' by those who wish to make them appear to be pharmaceutical substances instead of the natural molecules they are) that have the greatest known benefits for health and the prevention of disease.

5. Healing herbs that can be taken every day to improve health the natural way.

6. Extracts of the most potent healing principles found in herbs and vegetables.

These foods are carefully processed in ways that are gentle enough to allow friendly micro-organisms to remain alive and enzymes to remain active.

The ingredients in Beyond Greens have been selected to provide all the nutrients and phyto-nutrients that are good for us, in a synergistic combination that is both complete and convenient. This natural synergy means that less nutrients are required for optimum benefits. It is, therefore, more economical and healthier to use Beyond Greens than to eat nutrient-deficient fast foods and then take pills or capsules of supplements containing isolated, synthetic (rather than natural) nutrients. It is also more convenient.
