Power to the Plants!
The Super Health Benefits of Plant-Based Nutrients
Plant-based nutrition has become a popular term in the health and wellness world as more people adopt a green, natural way of living. One survey found more than half of Americans were open to eating more plant-based foods, but they don’t know what to buy. Whether you consume a completely plant-based diet or want to add more “green” products high in plant-based nutrients, we’re examining the latest research in plant-based nutrition and how it benefits the body in numerous ways. We’ll even tell you where you can get all these nutrients (hint: you can get it in one scoop a day).
When looking for products that support your health and wellness journey, having the right information to make smart nutrient choices ensures you’re on track for optimal well-being. Consuming ingredients that benefit all nine body systems and contain adequate vitamins and antioxidants can have a lasting positive impact on the body—even as we age. Let’s break down some plant-based ingredients that can help you get or stay on the right path to good nutrition and smart health choices.
Whole Food and Prebiotic Blend
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop with the highest dietary fiber content. Barley grass powder supports detoxification and cell health. Wheatgrass provides vitamins A, C, and E, as well as iron, magnesium, calcium, and amino acids. Inulin, a fiber found in fruits and vegetables like bananas and asparagus, supports gut health. Alfalfa is rich in vitamin K. Spirulina and chlorella, nutrient-dense algae, are packed with omega-3s, antioxidants, and protein—and were even proposed by NASA as space nutrition.
Antioxidant Blend
Antioxidants protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Pomegranate, acai, moringa, beetroot, raspberry, rose hips, pineapple, and goji berry are all rich in antioxidants. Fruits such as berries and pomegranates are known for polyphenolic flavonoids with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Adaptogenic Herb Blend
Adaptogenic herbs help the body adapt to stress and support balance. Studies show that ashwagandha has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, adaptogenic, memory-enhancing, and sleep-inducing properties. Other adaptogens like maca and bacopa monnieri support focus, mood, and stamina.
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) Fiber Blend
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for heart, brain, and cellular health. Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3s, while sunflower seeds provide omega-6, protein, fiber, vitamin E, selenium, and zinc—critical for cardiovascular and immune function.
Metabolism Blend
An active metabolism converts food into energy efficiently. Green coffee beans, ginger root, green tea, white tea, matcha, and black tea are all shown to enhance metabolism while offering strong antioxidant support.
Immunity Boosting Blend
Your immune system protects against illness and harmful invaders. Echinacea angustifolia, astragalus, and reishi mushrooms are known for their immune-modulating and stimulating effects. Reishi also supports recovery and immune balance, even under stress or post-treatment conditions.
Veggie Blend
Vegetables are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Tomatoes contain lycopene and vitamin C, while cauliflower offers fiber, B vitamins, and phytonutrients. These vegetables support energy, digestion, and overall vitality.
Detox Support Blend
Milk thistle supports liver health through its active compound, silymarin. Cilantro aids natural detox pathways, especially for heavy metals. Turmeric root contains curcumin, a compound with proven anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
Digestive Enzyme and Probiotic Blend
The digestive system plays a major role in overall wellness—70% of the immune system resides in the gut. Lactobacillus acidophilus supports healthy gut flora and immune balance. Digestive enzymes—amylase, protease, and lipase—are crucial for breaking down food into absorbable nutrients.
All of these nutrients are packed in our latest Super Greens Plus — a premium, convenient supplement designed to deliver a full spectrum of plant-based nutrition. Eating well means feeling well. A daily superfood blend ensures you get essential nutrients for energy, vitality, and long-term health.
