CYTOGREENS™ REPRESENTS A REVOLUTION IN THE WAY YOU DELIVER NUTRIENTS TO YOUR BODY
CHLOROPHYLL: THE DETOXIFICATION "HEAVY LIFTER"
Systemic Detoxification – Over-burdened organs, digestion and immune systems cannot function optimally if they are over burdened by environmental stressors (toxins). The core of CYTOGREENS™ is GREEN ingredients that make up over 80% of the formula! It is the raw, whole food based chlorophyll in CYTOGREENS™ that is the "Heavy Lifter" for detoxification.
Chlorophyll literally binds to highly damaging toxins (such as mercury, lead and arsenic that can build up over time) and shuttles them out of your body. Highly effective and optimally dosed Milk Thistle (80% Extract) has a long track record of effective liver detoxification. While other so-called "greens" have 15 mg, 25 mg maybe 50 mg of Milk Thistle – CYTOGREENS™ has included a full 200 mg in every serving.
1 SERVING OF CYTOGREENS™ HAS 21x THE CHLOROPHYLL AS A FULL SERVING OF DARK LEAFY GREENS!
pH Balancing (De-Acidification / Alkalyzation) – With a diet high in protein-rich meat consumption and a broad range of other acidifying dietary consumables, the western diet has left most, especially athletes more acidic than they should be optimally. This pressures your whole system to consistently buffer that acidity. The whole, raw-source greens within CYTOGREENS™ is ideal for creating a more alkaline system. The benefit to you as an athlete is that you can more effectively consume, absorb and retain nitrogen from protein consumption. This is a major advantage for both building and maintaining lean muscle tissue.
Blood Building – The oxygen carrying capacity of blood is of the utmost importance to any athlete! Ultra-Concentrated CYTOGREENS™ has over 40 times the chlorophyll of a serving of dark green broccoli in just one serving! Aside from having a near identical chemical composition as hemoglobin in blood, Chlorophyll stimulates the production of red blood cells. Building your blood increases your vitality, energy levels and your bloods ability to both supply oxygen and carry waste CO2 away.i
Ultra-Potent Antioxidant Power – Athletes consume large amounts of oxygen during training. While of course absolutely necessary, it does create Free Radical oxidative damage. The minimum daily recommended dose of anti-oxidants lies between the ORAC values 3,000 and 5,000. CYTOGREENS™ does not subscribe to the theory of "kitchen-sink formulation" with small ingredient amounts that provide little more than what is known in the industry as "label dressing".
THAT PROVIDE REAL BENEFIT.
Our Spirulina alone has a massive ORAC value of 24,400 µmolTE/100g (4x higher than blueberries) – included at over 1,000 mg per serving, that is a truly huge anti-oxidant powerhouse suitable for any athlete. We have included a very rare and organic superfruit known as Amla (Indian Gooseberry), long prized by Ayurvedic medicine for a broad range of healing applications and an ORAC value of 437,900 µmolTE/100g! We have included Açai berry with a ORAC value of 102,000 µmolTE/100g along with a rich source of naturally occurring Vitamin C Acerola Cherry extract. Supercharging our formula even more, our powerhouse Matcha Ultra-Fine Green Tea Powder has a sky-high ORAC of 134,800 µmolTE/100g! With CYTOGREENS™ you are truly getting your daily dose of dark green pigment anti-oxidants!ii
BLUEBERRIES!
Non-"Green" Fats Don't Belong In Your Greens – Many so-called green formulas have the number one ingredient as Lecithin. Lecithin is an emulsifier, a fat most often used in food processing, or as a cheaper "filler" to take up more room in a given product. Defined by Wikipedia as "Lecithin is a generic term to designate any group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues, and in egg yolk…" and it goes on to say "In the food industry it has multiple uses:" "… replaces more expensive ingredients," "…improves shelf life for some products, and can be used as a coating." It is so common in regular processed foods that it is far from necessary in a Greens supplement. CYTOGREENS™ has chosen not to include lecithin as an ingredient.
Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Miller) has long been known as potent wound healer, cleansative agent and systemic tonic. NovaForme has gone deeper into cutting edge research to bring hard training athletes immune system support like none other. Daltonmax® 200 is a times potency Aloe Vera Concentrate that is completely unique in the world of nutrition; an organic ingredient that uses the Aloe gel within the Aloe plant exclusively.
Unlike many other Aloe products, Daltonmax® Aloe is never heat, enzyme or carbon treated and as result maintains all of its bioavailabilty. Where Daltonmax® really shines is in its large molecular size. 75% of Daltonmax® ranges between 200,000 Daltons and 1,000,000 Daltons as tested by HPLC lab research! Regular Aloe is only 25% by comparison. Large molecular weight Aloe activate the body’s immune defense system (White Blood Cell Macrophages) that are responsible for both identifying, attacking and destroying foreign invaders!
From an athlete’s standpoint, effective immune function is critical, but even more interesting is the essential role the body’s immune system in muscle regeneration and muscle recovery from intense physical activity! Immune system white blood cells literally repair damaged muscle tissue.iii,iv,v,vi,vii This multi-stage process is essential in becoming stronger, faster and bigger through repetitive training.
