 THE CREATION OF Youthful Greens
Youthful Greens is produced using meticulous manufacturing processes that ensure protection from light, heat, moisture and oxidation to the subtle mixture of enzymes, live acidophilus, flavonoids, antioxidants and cell salts which go into its creation.
Source. Youthful Greens contains a mixture of the finest ingredients, gathered from around the globe. Pesticide free grains harvested at their peak, natural sea vegetables, standardized herbal extracts and freeze-dried acidophilus, are all part of the delivery of maximum food and nutritive value in a concentrated form.
Quality Control. Every ingredient must meet rigid standards for purity and potency. All are tested using advanced analytical methods, including gas-emission spectrophotometry and liquid chromatography to assure maximum potency.
Additive-Free. Youthful Greens is yeast-free, dairy free and contains no added corn, fillers, fructose or starch, irradiated products, colorings, alcohol, flavorings, oils, fats or preservatives. Organically grown foods and herbs are used wherever possible to ensure pesticide-free nutritional concentrates.
Extraction. Youthful Greens is juiced in high speed stainless steel centrifuges, eliminating heat build-up and subsequent loss of valuable nutrients or live enzymes.
Drying. A proprietary method of thin-film evaporation allows the water content of green juices to be removed, even at cold temperatures, leaving a full strength dried product. Natural Hawaiian spirulina is produced by a special method of ocean chill drying. This is the best drying method available today, as it assures cold temperature processing, a short drying time and an oxygen-free environment.
Blending. In our climate-controlled blending facility, special mixers allow gentle handling of ingredients. Though more time consuming, this ensures the potency and vitality of the live food elements.
Packaging. In a carefully monitored, low humidity environment, the finished product is precisely metered into special multi-barrier packaging. High tech oxygen interceptors and moisture absorbers are added to each container as an additional safeguard.

Commonly deficient, EFAs are essential to the health of cell membranes. Among their many functions, they are necessary for hormone production and are required for the manufacture of the important anti-inflammatory substances called prostaglandins EI and prostaglandins
Phosphatidylcholine
Transformed into the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, phosphatidylcholine has been shown to improve memory, concentration and muscle function, while exerting a calming effect.
Phosphatidylethanolamine (Cephalin)
Cephalin is an important part of the lipid complex that provides sheathing for nerve cells in the brain.
Phosphatidylserine
Phosphatidylserine promotes healthy brain and neurotransmitter metabolism, improving memory, cognition and overall mental performance.
Phosphatidylinositol
Necessary for the proper functioning of the brain, nerves and muscle. Inositol is a "lipotropic" substance helping to prevent build-up of fatty deposits in the liver.
HERBS
Milk Thistle Seed (80% silymarin) 63mg

TAKING Youthful Greens

The Healing Process
Detoxification is a natural process that is essential for the health of every cell, tissue and organ. However, many conditions can result in a decrease in the body's ability to clear metabolic by-products from the tissues. Moreover, the widespread use of food additives, pesticides and heavy metals significantly increases the toxic burden on the body Alternative medicine considers this build up of toxins to be a major contributing cause of illness.
The synergistic blend of herbs, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other components of Youthful Greens naturally stimulates the detoxification of cells, the lymphatic system, liver and other key organs. The elimination of deeply held toxins is a necessary and important part of the curative process, and can result in healing reactions. This may include temporary symptoms of headache, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea or occasional skin rashes.
Although it is unlikely to happen, and certainly not dangerous, should symptoms of a "healing crisis" occur, the normal procedure is to delay taking Youthful Greens for a few days. Once all unpleasant feelings subside (probably within a day or so) resume the use of Youthful Greens, reducing the amount to 1/2 of a scoop for about 1 week. Make sure that you consume 8 to 12 glasses of pure water each day.
