Vibrant Health Green Vibrance

Green Vibrance is a C³ Product.

An award winning Green Super food!

Human vitality can be described as the combined vitality—what we call "Vibrance"—of each cell in the body. Green Vibrance provides trace nutrients that should help each cell to function at peak efficiency.* When we push each cell toward peak efficiency through diet and supplementation, the result may be to support energy and endurance, greater clarity of thought, robust immunity, and general support in all bodily functions for the ideal.*

Green Vibrance taken daily drives us toward these goals by addressing some very basic and essential biological requirements.

1. Supporting a healthy, efficient gastrointestinal tract.*
2. Sufficient quantities of a complete group of healthful nutrients, and
3. Nutrients delivery to all cells of the body, even those at the periphery of the capillaries' reach.*

Under these influences, optimal health can be supported, manifested by a strong immune system, sustained energy production, and systems that run smoothly and cleanly.

A nutritional formula should have a well-defined purpose in order to deliver true value to the consumer, and delivering true value is the goal of Vibrant Health. A formula's components should be present at quantities that will achieve the stated goal.

The Green Vibrance formula grows from the concepts that:

1. The modern diet fails to supply enough micronutrients to support optimal health
2. The ancient biochemistry inside us, which hasn't changed in 40,000 years, expects to be fed high nutrient density with each calorie of food ingested
3. Proper nutritional supports a healthy immune system

Green Vibrance is designed as a concentrated, nutrient-dense supplement from vegetable sources that is meant to:

• Support a healthy digestive tract, thereby promoting nutrient absorption*
• Deliver trace nutrients at Paleolithic concentrations (far higher than found in modern diets)
• Promote circulation and cardiovascular health in order to deliver those nutrients to every cell of the body*
• Support a vigorous and efficient immune system*
• Support directly or indirectly the other body systems (i.e. musculoskeletal, neurological, integumentary (skin), respiratory, urinary, endocrine, cardiovascular/circulatory, digestive, reproductive and immune)*

Nutrient Density

Nutrient density refers to the ratio of micro-nutrients (i.e. vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, etc.) to macro-nutrients (i.e. protein, fat and carbohydrate). Relative to the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrate in the foods we eat today, our ancestors commonly received far greater amounts of micro-nutrients. Human biochemistry adapted to that ancient food supply with its greater nutrient density. It is that same, ancient biochemistry that attempts to run us today.

But today something is missing. Indeed, statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, World Health Organization (WHO) and regulatory agencies in countries around the globe, verify a precipitous drop in nutrient density within our common food supply in just the last forty years. The loss of trace nutrients is so great as to remove any argument that dietary supplementation may be optional. We firmly believe supplementation is mandatory in order to support optimal health.*

Green food supplements, if properly formulated, can provide astounding nutrient density. They can, in effect, return our dietary intake of micro-nutrients to something more closely approximating the richness of our ancestral, Paleolithic diet.

Nutrients in their natural state are highly bioavailable. Green Vibrance delivers a multitude of nutrients that can be used by each cell to support efficient cellular metabolism, and maintain health.*

Concentrated Nutrition

The ingredients in Green Vibrance were selected to support essential bodily functions without which life cannot be sustained. Cereal grass powders and juices (i.e. Certified organic, barley, oat, wheat, and Kamut) deliver virtually all known nutrients and several uncharacterized co-nutrients of great value. For example, cereal grasses contain a hidden "growth factor" that causes young animals to more rapidly develop, growing larger, stronger, and healthier with robust immune systems. Those same cereal grasses help mature animals (and possibly humans) to repair bodily tissues more quickly.* Organic alfalfa sprouts, organic broccoli sprouts, organic spirulina, soft-cell chlorella, stabilized rice bran, organic beet juice, organic parsley, organic spinach, organic carrot, green bean, zucchini, and three sea vegetables enrich the nutrient density and diversity as the primary food ingredients in Green Vibrance.*

Probiotics & Enzymes

Our industry leading, dose of 25 billion friendly probiotics from 12 strains in each serving of Green Vibrance bolsters the one system that must function well first and foremost above all others if health is to be optimized. One must be able to digest food and transport nutrients into the body from the gastrointestinal tract before health can be sustained. The 12 strains of probiotics in Green Vibrance help assure a healthy G.I. tract by building and maintaining colonies of robust intestinal flora throughout the intestinal tract. The strains in Green Vibrance help break down proteins for easy assimilation, help transport minerals and B-vitamins across the intestinal mucosa, synthesize several B-vitamins and help maintain healthy cholesterol already in normal range.* The probiotics may help naturally support a healthy balance of microbes in the gut.* Their action is supported by both fructo-oligosaccharides and FiberAid arabinogalactans. Each of these prebiotics plays a role in supporting the beneficial bacteria.*

Most strains used in Green Vibrance are derived from the human gastrointestinal tract, and then cultivated in a contaminant free production laboratory. One is from a plant source (L. plantarum), and four others were isolated from cow's milk and cheese (L. helveticus, L. lactis, S. thermophilus, & P. shermanii). The "human" strains originally came from the soil and water in the ancient environment, inoculating the human digestive tract and entering into a symbiotic relationship with us many millennia ago. Indeed, each person on Earth harbors different ratios of probiotic bacteria—and quite often a few different strains—in his or her intestines. The differences reflect the parental lineage and home environment of each of us. We all "picked up" various strains at various times from mother's milk, and from dirty hands or toys we may have put in our mouths during outside play. Even an apple picked up off the ground, lightly buffed on a shirt, and then eaten can deliver a specific strain or two of probiotic (and possibly pathogenic) bacteria to the gut.

Enzymes

Every food contains the three macro-nutrients, protein, fat and carbohydrate. Green Vibrance is no exception. Whole foods contain enzymes in their natural state that can help dismantle food to release nutrients when eaten. We can expect to find some of these enzymes in Green Vibrance. Yet even though it is made up of gently processed, certified organic and natural foods, we recognize that some of the natural enzyme content has been lost simply by changing fresh, whole foods into powders. We have, therefore, added a quantity of plant and fungal enzymes as a corrective measure to restore enzymes lost during processing of the plant materials that make up Green Vibrance.

Beginning with version 13.0, the amount of enzymes in Green Vibrance has been increased beyond what is strictly needed to replace those lost due to processing. This new, more powerful quantity of added enzymes is to assure that the concentrated nutrition in the product is efficiently absorbed.

Our less active lifestyles result in a calorie intake that is lower than that of our Paleolithic ancestors. Our calories carry fewer micronutrients than theirs did in the past. As a consequence, we run the risk of failing to take in enough micronutrition to support optimum health. The extra enzymes supplied in Green Vibrance will aid digestion and increase the amount of nutrients absorbed, helping compensate for our commonly less nutritious diets of today.*

Supporting Cast

Chlorophyll from green foods in Green Vibrance further supports the action of the probiotics. Apple fiber from our certified organic whole apple powder plus lecithin help support elimination of heavy metals and toxins from the intestinal tract before they can be absorbed.* To a lesser degree, they can perform similar tasks in the circulating blood itself.*

Lecithin

Cell membranes are made up primarily of a double layer of phospholipids (i.e. phosphorus containing fats.) Lecithin is 97 to 98% phospholipids, the remaining percentages being water and mineral ash. Lecithin, therefore, supplies major structural components to every cell membrane in the human body. You can't keep your cells together or functioning without them.

Dr. Richard Wurtman, at M.I.T. demonstrated how just 35 mg. of phosphatidyl choline each day may help support intelligence and cognitive function.* The 700 mg of sunflower lecithin in one serving of Green Vibrance delivers approximately 160 milligrams of phosphatidyl choline, 4.6 times the dosage Wurtman found to support cognition. The great depth of research on lecithin suggests how it is not only critical to brain function, but also helps maintain the myelin sheath protecting and insulating nerves. Lecithin additionally mobilizes cholesterol for use in hormone synthesis.*

The functions of lecithin are basic, foundational functions critical to human survival. For that reason, Green Vibrance contains lecithin. It is difficult to build a house of good health on a flawed foundation where nerves misfire, circulation is inadequate, and cell membranes are stiff and crippled in their ability to function because lecithin is undersupplied.*

Liver Support

Over eons of time, the liver became quite adept at denaturing, destroying and getting rid of unnecessary substances in everyday foods. Keep in mind that 40% of a plain old carrot is unneeded, toxic material. Your liver has no trouble handling that. But when it comes to detoxifying some of the modern chemicals which are absorbed by, and circulate through, your body, we believe the liver needs a little help. That is why we've added liver support ingredients.

Oxidation, Incineration, Quenching

Human metabolism is built on oxidation, which both keeps us alive and slowly pushes us toward the grave. The quiet damage to cells caused by necessary cellular oxidation is recognized as the degenerative changes of aging. Oxidative damage to cells defines aging. Certainly one's personal genetic code and lifestyle also contribute.*

Each serving of Green Vibrance delivers a powerful 1,203 mg of herbal antioxidants in addition to the beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and other antioxidants naturally present from the plant components of the formula. These antioxidants, plus lecithin, soluble fibers, policosanol and other ingredients help support cardiovascular health.* A strong heart and clear arteries are essential to delivering nutrients to and removing waste from every cell in the body. In fact, Ginkgo biloba extract, grape seed extract, green tea extract pomegranate extract, and Silymarin (milk thistle) extract are all suggested to support peripheral circulation.*

Immunity

The immune support delivered by Green Vibrance is found in its content of the beta-glucans, ResistAid arabinogalactans, and Astragalus extract.* But let us not lose sight of the immune supporting effect of a healthy digestive tract. 50% or more of your own immune cells are found there. Well nourished, vibrant cells, amply protected by the army of antioxidants in Green Vibrance, help support immune function.*

Bone Health*

Green Vibrance has always supported good skeletal health, undoubtedly due to its alkalinizing nature, and bioavailable boron and plant calcium. CalZbone extract of Cissus quadrangularis supports osteoblastic (bone building) activity.* The 2,000 i.u. of vitamin D in Green Vibrance further support bone health (and immunity).* Our special vitamin D is made by combining D3 with organic sunflower oil and organic alfalfa grass only. There are no starches or sugar or artificial ingredients used in its composition.
