What is Purely Greens™? Purely Greens is a 100% pure, natural green food complex. It contains 3 organic cereal grasses: wheat grass, barley grass and oat grass, plus organic alfalfa leaf powder. We have also added Spirulina to make this a truly comprehensive green food product. Unlike other multi-ingredient products, there are no additives, fillers or carrying agents. Why we offer it: According to the USDA food pyramid, we need two to three servings a day of deep green leafy vegetables. Unfortunately, 95% of people never come close to achieving this. Green leafy vegetables typically contain 20 times more essential nutrients than other foods ounce per ounce. Furthermore, the nutrients in deep green leafy vegetables are so important that they actually make nutrients found in other foods work more effectively. This is due to chlorophyll, the “blood” of plants, has a structure almost identical to human hemoglobin in the blood. Chlorophyll is an efficient carrier of magnesium and helps the blood carry oxygen to the cells and tissue. Chlorophyll assists in the chelation of heavy metals. Most importantly, chlorophyll performs photosynthesis, a complex series of chemical reactions that convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and plant sugars (calories), without it all life would cease to exist. Organic Wheat Whole Leaf Powder: Clinics all over the world have been set up to administer the miraculous juices extracted from sprouted wheat plants. The intensive cleaning that the chlorophyll and enzymes provide is unsurpassed in its abilities to stimulate the immune response and instigate healing. Organic Barley Whole Leaf Powder: Over a dozen studies in several universities show the extract of young barley leaves to be a useful and powerful therapeutic agent. Rich SOD, calcium, iron and trace minerals, barley has been reported to relieve arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, chronic fatigue, constipation, poor circulation, psoriasis, acne and body odor. Organic Oat Whole Leaf Powder: One of the little known super stars among cereal grasses. Recent and ongoing studies indicate that unique proteins, lipids and other factors in oat greens may have tremendous usefulness as an antidote for male impotence and may possibly revive reproductive function. Organic Alfalfa Juice Powder: The father of all foods, alfalfa has roots that reach up to 60 feet into the soil to absorb trace minerals. Its lightweight proteins stimulate the rebuilding of tissues and strengthen hair skin and nails.
