There has been considerable debate about the potential benefits of all of the various supplements that have stormed on the scene in the past decade. While controversy rages about the efficacy of supplements, there is very little debate about the real health benefits of natural food nutrients. That’s because the case is closed. There are literally hundreds of articles in some of America’s finest academic periodicals and medical journals that document the positive health benefits of the ingredients that go into Greentein™. The short explanation goes something like this – natural ingredients are simply superior to synthetic or man-made nutritional supplements. Doctors, dieticians and nutritional experts may differ on a number of issues, but this is one they are unanimous on. We really do not want you to take our word for it. Please peruse our summaries below, and we encourage you to do your own supplemental research.
Greentein’s proprietary Greens blend
The Greens blend is a unique combination of 12 dark leafy green vegetables and 9 exotic foods in an aloe vera matrix. Care was taken in choosing this blend – it is not a couple cheap greens and then a dash of all the rest so they can be listed on the label. We really don’t want to blow our own horn here too hard, but Greentein™ is an incredibly unique product especially when compared to the supplement drinks and other sugar-heavy products that shout so loudly for your attention in this marketplace. While these other products will go to great lengths to prove themselves, we prefer a bit quieter approach. Don’t get us wrong. We are extremely confident about the ability of this greens blend to help balance your pH levels and provide powerful antioxidants that boost your natural immune system and provide an incredible array of other health benefits. We also know that you have been told why you should eat your vegetables your whole life. The blend includes: Barley grass juice, organic wheat grass, Kamut grass juice, Parsley, Oat Grass juice, Chlorella-Cracked cell, Spirilina, Kale, Asparagus, Watercress, Dandelion greens, Broccoli Sprouts, Whole Leaf Aloe Vera, Neopal Cactus, Carob, Bamboo, Super Oxide Dimutase (from wheat sprouts), Green Papaya, Atlantic Kelp, Amlaki, Sesame Seed Husk, and 100% Pineapple and Papaya Juice Concentrate. We’ll let the ingredients speak for themselves rather than be loud pitchmen. Before we go any further, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you have on any of our ingredients or how they were sourced. For most of our audience, it didn’t behoove us to include all of the intimate details on every ingredient, requiring every visitor to read a book to find what they are looking for.
Protein
Greentein™ provides a complete source of whey protein from cows that were raised without antibiotics or growth hormone. We don’t expect you to be an accredited nutritionist but we hope you can appreciate the fact that Greentein’s unique combination of powerful, but natural ingredients is really significant – 15g whey isolate + 5g micellar casein are a very effective combination that result in a rich source of amino acids that your body needs each day. This blend delivers both fast and slow digesting proteins to best provide a powerful source of energy, and repair body cells, muscle and bone. Finally, this unique protein-delivery vehicle increases your body’s own natural metabolism. Protein means a faster metabolic rate and results in more calories being naturally-burned and less body fat. This is all good stuff!
Probiotics
Probiotics are the ultimate multi-taskers. They strengthen your immune system. They enhance your body’s overall nutrition and encourage rapid cellular growth and development. They clean your intestinal tract and promote degistive health and proper digestive function. This is a HUGE deal! Your digestive tract essentially functions as your body’s “engine”. MANY people don’t understand the huge impact of great digestive function and health. A strong digestive system really has a big impact on making your body stronger, healthier, increasing metabolism, revving up your performance, fighting infection and the benefits go on. Probiotics also have some side-benefits that might surprise you. A properly functioning intestinal tract reduces the need for your skin and lungs to expel toxins. This helps reduce bad breath and body odor. Finally, probiotics help produce huge pools of extra anti-bodies that are going to stand-up and help your body fight against infection. Ganden BC30 Probiotics are very high-grade. They are resilient against temperature and time. They actually do what you want them to do in the digestive system – they colonize in your digestive tract and promote important healthy bacteria that provide all the above benefits. Most probiotics colonize very little or not at all (hint: if they require refridgeration), so you aren’t getting the benefits that you really want. Ganaden BC30 probiotics were designed for your health, and we packed a billion active Colony Forming Units in Greentein to get the job done right.
Fiber
Greentein™ contains more than twice the fiber of the best-selling national fiber-only drinks. Every year, an incredible amount of money is spent on fiber supplements, and for good reason. Most of us know the drill about fiber – it helps prevent constipation, hemorrhoids and a condition called diverticulosis. Fiber discussions center around two distinct types. Insoluble Fiber helps move bulk through the intestines, balances acidity and reduces toxicity in the colon and may help prevent colon cancer by maintaining the ideal pH level. Soluble Fiber binds with fatty acids and helps lower total cholesterol and undesirable LDL cholesterol which reduces your overall risk of heart disease. In addition, it slows the rate that sugars and starches are digested, reducing blood sugar spikes. Effective fiber supplements need to include both insoluble fiber, which occur naturally in greens as well as soluble fiber, which Greentein™ obtains from the premium source Fibersol-2. They play distinct but equally vital roles in digestive health and Greentein™ has both halves of the fiber game covered. Greentein is designed to help you reach goals and improve your health, period. This means paying close attention to how the ingredients are SOURCED. We chose sources that are natural, bio-available, and that are shown to perform. This is why we chose fibersol-2 rather than a cheaper psyllium husk. Fibersol-2 performs, and with less negative effects like bloating that some people experience with the typical psyllium husk fiber supplements. The fiber works in conjunction with the Ganaden BC30 probiotics to really get your tract healthy, clean, and your system to a high performing state!
L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is the King of Amino Acids. First of all, Glutamine is critical to helping the body heal properly after surgery, traumatic injury or a major illness, as well as recover from exercise and overexertion. A second benefit associated with having the proper level of Glutamine is a significant positive impact on brain function and sensory perceptions. Glutamine is highly-concentrated in the brain and is accurately described as fuel for the brain. This means a real improvement in focus, concentration, memory, intellectual performance and alertness. While scientific evidence is preliminary and far from conclusive, research is suggesting that Glutamine helps protect brain cells and is an effective natural combatant of Alzheimer’s and senile-dementia. Glutamine has another unique property; it stimulates glycogen levels which helps reduce cravings for alcohol and sugar. Under normal conditions, your body produces enough glutamine for it’s need. That said, stress, overexertion, injury, infections, and certain medical conditions lower your bodies glutamine levels, and supplementation becomes very beneficial.
Calcium
Greentein™ contains 450mg of Calcium in each serving. Why did mom always ask us to drink our milk when we were growing up? Mother knows best. Calcium is a critical and sometimes overlooked natural building block. It helps maintain your optimum body weight. It protects your heart by helping your cardiac muscles contract and relax properly. It assists your nervous system in maintaining the proper pressure in your arteries. A number of medical researchers have seen a link between calcium intake and reduced risk of colon cancer. Of course, we are familiar with calcium’s main selling point – maintaining healthy teeth and strengthening our bones which can prevent osteoporosis down the road. Calcium also helps maintain a healthy alkaline pH level. Got Milk indeed! Please notice ours is calcium citrate: properly sourced for bio-availability and maximum benefit!
Resveratrol
Grape skin includes an active ingredient known as Resveratrol. This is the ingredient that is often associated with the anti-aging and heart-smart properties in red wine. Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant. While we want to be completely upfront in pointing out that there has only been limited testing on the health benefits it would deliver in humans, it has offered a ton of promising health benefits in experiments with animals. We believe firmly in it’s abilities as a potent antioxidant, thus the reason we choose it for inclusion.
Stevia
Greentein™ contains no corn sweeteners, refined sugars or chemical sugar replacements. Our product is all about taking the best ingredients in nature and assembling them in an easy-to-use, affordable and healthy mixture. Instead of calorie-heavy sweeteners, Greentein™ includes a small amount of stevia and berry flavoring, and people from across the spectrum are telling us they like the taste of this drink. Enjoy nature, as it really is…
