What Is Fuelling Your Body?

Chemicals in processed food? “Empty calories” from high fat, high sugar foods or fast food?

Artifical this? Artificial that? It’s scary when you read the ingredient labels on some processed foods. You would need to be a scientist to even pronounce some of the ingredient names. And “they” expect us to eat it.

IN REALITY, NATURE KNOWS BEST!

Fresh whole foods really are what we should be eating. Nature has provided all the components to make a complete nutritionally balanced diet.

What’s more, because they are not processed they are more affordable, and with minimal packaging, the impact on the environment is lessened.

Spirulina VS Chlorella

You may ask “If I’m taking Spirulina do I need to take Chlorella?”

It’s not actually a competition or duplication, it’s more of a collaboration.

Spirulina is the world’s richest food. It’s able to supply you with more than 100 nutrients in very high concentrations. This is why it’s so important to take Spirulina which is Certified Organic. By taking Spirulina, you can be sure of getting all nutrients you need.

While you’re having all the nutrients, you also need to detox the body daily for better health and vitality.

Chlorella has a unique fibrous cell wall to bind all toxins including heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides and excrete them from the body. Also Chlorella contains very high nuclecic acid RNA and DNA and unique Chlorella Growth Factors to promote growth and regeneration for a younger and more beautiful you. You must ensure the Chlorella you choose has a “broken cell wall” to avail you of the maximum benefits.

Spirulina Research

I’ve found this wonderful place with information on spirulina research:-

The Spirulina Health Library contains over 100 published scientific references covering 30 years of international research. It is solely for education. It is not intended as medical advice or as a guide for self-treatment. Consult a qualified health care practitioner for diagnosis or treatment of any disease or medical condition.

I recommend to take a look at Spirulina Health Library

Here is a brief sample:-

Spirulina is gaining more attention from medical scientists as a nutraceutical and source of potential pharmaceuticals. There are several new peer reviewed scientific studies about Spirulina’s ability to inhibit viral replication, strengthen both the cellular and humoral arms of the immune system and cause regression and inhibition of cancers. While these studies are preliminary and more research is needed, the results so far are exciting…”

Nn Liquid Chlorophyll


Nn Liquid Chlorophyll - All Natural Green Tonic Contents: 500 ml

Nn Liquid Chlorophyll provides nutritionally stable, easily assimilated chlorophyll processed from the young leaves of Mulberry (Morus alba L.) from China. Cultivated without the use of chemicals, the chlorophyll-rich leaves are carefully harvested and unique extraction techniques are employed to preserve the health-enhancing integrity of the chlorophyll.

Pleasant tasting Nn Liquid Chlorophyll is safe for people of all ages including pregnant and breast-feeding mothers.

Directions: Add one tablespoon of Liquid Chlorophyll to a mug (200-250 ml) of water, stir and drink immediately. Do not mix in warm or hot water. Take twice daily before meals to achieve a high level of wellness.

Chlorophyll – “Nature’s Cleanser”
Chlorophyll’s chemical structure is similar to hemoglobin, the pigment found in red blood cells. It has proven useful as a blood builder to improve red blood cell count and correct anemia. In humans chlorophyll increases the supply of fresh oxygenated blood for more youthful metabolism and vitality. Often referred to as “Nature’s Cleanser”, it detoxifies the bowels, kidneys, lungs and blood stream to keep the body cleansed and ready to repair and rebuild itself.

Known as the most powerful cleansing agent in nature, chlorophyll detoxifies the bowels, liver, kidney and bloodstream. It normalizes the beneficial intestinal flora, stimulates tissue regeneration and accelerates the healing of wounds and burns. It also assists in digestion, regulates calcium in the body and increases iron absorption.

Time-proven chlorophyll, the green tonic from nature, when taken regularly, can do more than just cleanse your cells. It can actually rejuvenate and energize your entire body… inside and outside!

Chlorophyll:

  • Accelerates inner cleansing, which revitalizes circulation. This helps repair and rebuild joints and muscles, and promotes youthful flexibility.
  • Boosts immune response to swiftly repair and rebuild cells. This resists aging and cellular deterioration.
  • Increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. This is necessary to maintain clean arteries, which are the very lifeline of youthful wellbeing.
  • Deodorizes the entire body to make you feel more refreshed and invigorated; and free from flatulence, bowel irregularity, and mouth and body odor.

Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants, is known to possess a spectrum of health-promoting functions that can make you look and feel much younger and healthier. The “life-blood” of plants, it is what hemoglobin is to the human body.

Ingredients
Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin (derived from Morus alba L.), purified water, permitted food grade preservatives.

Questions & Answers
Liquid chlorophyll supplements available in the market are generally derived from the alfalfa plant. Why is the source of chlorophyll in Nn Liquid Chlorophyll not alfalfa?
Nn Liquid Chlorophyll is obtained from White Mulberry (Morus alba L.), a time-honored source of rich, health-promoting chlorophyll that does not cause adverse side effects. The same cannot be said of alfalfa. The Ministry of Health of Malaysia cautions those with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), an auto-immune condition prevalent in Malaysia, to consult their physicians before consuming supplements containing alfalfa.

Why is chlorophyll extracted from White Mulberry or Morus alba L. special?
Morus alba L., popularly known as White Mulberry or Silkworm Mulberry, is well-known in silk-producing countries, such as China, Japan, India and Vietnam. Young tender Mulberry leaves are fed to silkworms to yield high-productivity strains for quality silk. Chinese herbalists use Mulberry leaves to re-balance the body’s vital energy levels. Mulberry grown without the influence of harsh chemicals and pesticides yields chlorophyll that is true to the natural chemical composition found in the leaves themselves.
