Super Green Supplements

Getting all the vegetables recommended is hard work when busy schedules take over and convenience is at the forefront of your mind. One solution is adding a super green supplement to your diet. Super green supplements are dietary supplements made from green vegetables, seeds, grains, and grasses. Green vegetables are packed with nutrients that our bodies desperately need. These same nutrients are available in this supplemental form.

The name super green comes from green algae that grow in fresh water. These microscopic algae contain many nutrients to help the human body grow and run smoothly. Super green supplements also contain B, C, and E vitamins, minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and potassium. Super green supplements can also contain the all important omega-3 fatty acids which help brain cells. Along with these vitamins and minerals beta-carotene, nuclei acids and protein are also found in super green supplements.

Super green supplements can be even better than some green vegetables. This is because many vegetables are picked before they reach their peak of freshness. Peak freshness means peak nutrients. Also, sometimes the way vegetables are prepared removes some of the nutrients. Not to mention the butter and salt that is put on many vegetables to make them more appealing.

Depending on what supplement is taken, ingredients can include wheatgrass, barley grass, alfalfa, chlorella, spirulina, blue-green algae, green tea leaves, spinach, carrots, seaweed and nuts. Super green supplements are all natural and no ingredient is chemically altered or derived. This all natural state is only found in raw vegetables, grasses, grains and vegetation picked at just the right time.

Super green supplements come in pill or powder form. The pill form can be taken with water as directed. The powder supplement can be mixed with water or juice. The powder can also be sprinkled into foods when cooking for an extra boost of nutrients not even kids will detect. One teaspoon of a super green supplement can be equal to eating several green salads.

In general, super green supplements are made up of a mixture of cereal green plants that have not yet matured. While different super green supplements will have differing plants and different mixture ratios, they use these immature plants because they have incredible amounts of various needed nutrients.

Here is a list of some of the most common green cereal plants that are used in super green supplements.

• Alfalfa
• Barley Grass
• Blue-green Algae
• Chlorella
• Green Tea
• Spirulina
• Wheatgrass

In their immature state, these green plants have high concentrations of protein, amino acids, enzymes and loads of other vitamins. Most importantly, though, they contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the essence of life in these plants and performs many healthy functions for the human body as well.

In addition to the above seven cereal grasses, super green supplements may contain some or all of the following:

• Brewer’s Yeast
• Grape Seed Extract
• Kelp
• Reishi Mushrooms
• Shitake Mushrooms
• Turmeric Root
• Various Fruits and Vegetables

All of these ingredients are all-natural substances that have positive effects on your day-to-day health.
