World's First Immediate Method of  Screening Heavy Metals in any Aqueous Solution

• Easy to test.
• Quick and reliable result.
• Ability to quickly test your drinking water and/or efficiency of your water filter.
• Ability to quickly and conveniently obtain the heavy metal/urine concentration or body detoxification/chelation capacity.
• Ability to track the heavy metal concentration or detoxification/chelation capacity over time as the patient supplements with detoxification/chelation products.
• The assessment of the heavy metal concentration or detoxification capacity may serve as an early indicator associated with heavy metal intoxication.
• Objective, scientific-proven procedure*
• The scientifically documented Heavy Metal Test allows the detection of free electrically active heavy-metal ions in any aqueous solution by means of a simple single-use procedure and in just a few minutes.

This exploratory procedure, employed as an in vitro screen tool, is based on the dithizone* reaction method which has been known to chemical science for more than sixty years.

As a reagent, dithizone is able to indicate the presence of heavy metal ions in qualitative terms. In binding with the unbound or free metal ions, colour compexes are formed. The reaction times of the heavy metal ion vary: therefore, depending on their respective concentrations, different colourations occur from which one can, in addition to the qualitative conclusions, also semi-qualitative ones regarding the contaminant.

The test permits the identification of several metals with only one reagent. It is easy to conduct and the results are not only quickly obtained but also provide a dramatic and convincing demonstration of the product.

The test is recommended for anyone, since the presence of heavy metals in urine may indicate whether allopathic, naturopathic, or homoeopathic treatments are therapeutically feasible.

* Isolation and determination of Traces of metals. The Dithizone system. H.J. Wichmann, FDA, USDA, Washington DC: Industrial and Engineering Chemistry.

What the Experts Say About The Heavy Metal Test Kit:

"We thoroughly investigated the test system with regard to its sensitivity and its specificiy and found consistent evidence that it is possible to detect individual toxicologically relevant metals in urine or water specimens in the range of a few ppm, at times even fractions of one part per million. This makes it possible to obtain on the spot clinically important preliminary data." - J. Lemann, Dr. rer. nat. Toxicologist and medical Expert, Institute for Toxicology and Medical Laboratory Diagnostics, Hirschberg, Germany.

This report is intended to be an independent assessment of the claims of performance of a novel detection system for some transition metals. These materials are commonly known as toxic or heavy metals...it was found that the system shows remarkable sensitivity for such a simple procedure..." - K.H. Bell Ph.D. Professor and Head Department  of Chemistry, University of Newcastle, NSW`Australia

"...until the beginning of the nineteen seventies this reagent was in predominant use for the detection of heavy metal traces in the water supply. It is a certified German Standard procedure for water supply analyses..." - G. Schwedt, Dr. rer. nat. Professor and Director, institute for Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, Technical University of Clausthal, Germany.

Health authorities (WHO 1974, Florence, Italy) estimate that at least 90% of all chronic diseases can be attributed to environmental pollution in one way or another. Heavy Metals are the major source for the production of free radicals as well as undermining the internal environment and body chemistry. Heavy Metals reduce the efficacy of medical treatment by up to 60%

There is little hope for antioxidants and mineral supplements to do their job properly, if the body is burdened with heavy metals!

The scientifically documented Heavy Metal Test allows the detection of free electrically active heavy metal ions in an aqueous solution by means of a simple procedure and in just a few minutes. This exploratory procedure, employed as an in vitro screen tool, is based on the dithizone(1) reaction method which has been known to chemical science for more than 60 years.

Testimonials

I am 69 years old. I am a keen sportsman but was concerned about my circulation to my feet and lower legs. I have been using the Circulation Booster Mobile for one month on a daily basis and while it is being difficult to detect improvement at a personal level, my healthcare professionals are in no doubt.

My massage therapist reported that there was increased warmth in my feet and lower legs which have been cold to the touch for some years.  My podiatrist had measured my pulse and blood flow to my feet. He informed me that while the pulse had remained exactly the same, the velocity of the blood flow had increased from 11 – 18.  In fact it had almost doubled.  I have no doubt that the Circulation Booster Mobile increases blood flow to the feet and lower legs.

Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is an all natural energy berry tasting like a unique blend of berries and chocolate.

Considered as one of the most nutritious food today, the acai berry contains high levels of the essential nutrients and antioxidants that the body needs to be healthy and properly functioning.

Our Nature's Superfoods Acai powder is harvested from the deep jungles and rainforests found in Brazil and our Loving Earth raw Acai Powder is wildharvested from Acai palms growing in the coastal estuaries of the Tumaco region in Colombia, where they get mineralised by the Pacific Ocean.

Acai has been used by many natives of Brazil & Columbia as their primary food source during long hunting trips. They also use the acai berry for its medicinal benefits such as treating all kinds of illnesses. It has a rich purple pigment which has the essential fatty acids omega 3, 6 and 9, amino acids and antioxidants. Aside from these, the acai berry also has a lot of vitamin A and C. Through all this ingredients, the acai berry is able to rid the body of free radicals and toxins and help in the promotion of new cell regeneration.

Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect food. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, energy, essential omegas 6 & 9 (good-for-you fatty acids), fibre, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals, which are known to damage cells in the body. Free radicals are caused by stresses on the body such as pollution, exposure to the sun, exersize, smoking, and poor diet.

Acai has heaps of good stuff that gives you an awesome energetic lift, having an exotic taste that will give your taste buds something to remember.

Some Facts About Acai

* Naturally organic wildharvested – Awesome!
* Low GL – No sugar rushes or sugar lows

BarleyMax® Original contains 80% organically grown barley juice concentrate and 20% enzyme-rich and nutrient-dense alfalfa concentrate.

The iconic Baobab tree – also known as the “upside-down tree” and “The Tree of Life” – is abundant in the southern African bush. Indigenous peoples have eaten its fruit for centuries for its many nutritional properties. It contains over six times more Vitamin C than oranges and twice as much calcium as milk. It is also high in anti-oxidants, iron and potassium and was traditionally used by sailors to stave off scurvy.

Baobab ORAC Value

The Baobab ORAC Value is 24,000 u mol TE/100g which is just slightly more than dried Goji Berries at 23,000 umol TE/100g.

Baobab Fruit

Inside the hard shell are seeds, which are coated with whitish powder, which is the fruit pulp. The white globules seen in the following photograph are the pulp with a dark seed inside. The globules are surrounded by red fibers, whcih are very high in certain nutrients.

Baobab products are produced by mechanically separating the seeds and red fibers from the baobab fruit pulp. The dried baobab fruit pulp, which is what we are selling, is used as a nutritional supplement .

The seed or seed and red fibers are used to make an extract oil, which is very good for dry skin.

The accompanying photograph shows baobab powder, a seed, a globule of pulp and a seed, and red fibers. Note that the pulp is
dried naturally on the tree, resulting a ready to consume powder containing typically 8-12 % water.

Serving Suggestions: The powder is easily soluble in water. It has an acidic, almost citrusy taste.

Just add a spoonful to your favourite raw desserts, bars or smoothies.

Like lucuma, it can also be used as a non-dairy creamer giving 'mouth feel' for 'hot' chocolate and other recipes.

Professor Nicolai Tsitsin, a biologist and experimental botanist of the Longevity Institute of the former USSR, studied centenarians in the Caucasus mountains of Georgia and discovered many Georgians living past 100 years and up to 150 years were beekeepers who eat raw, unprocessed honey with high concentrations of pollen. He attributed this longevity to the action of pollen, and concluded that, taken regularly, pollen will prolong the human lifespan considerably.

Now, pollen is eaten by millions of health-conscious people worldwide. Many international and Olympic athletes from all over the world also eat pollen.

What is pollen? Pollen is the male element of flowers. It has enormous nutritive and medicinal properties and forms the ovules, the starting point of the production of fruits, grains, legumes and vegetables. Bees gather pollens which are mixed with nectar to make pellets that are carried into the beehive. A teaspoonful contains approximately 1,200 pellets, each pellet containing 2Ö billion grains of pollen, each capable of fertilising and creating a fruit, a vegetable, a flower, or a stalk of grain. Pollen is a very nutritionally complete food and has the potential to contribute as a major food source for humans.

Flower pollen possesses 185 known nutritional ingredients, including twenty-two amino acids (and more of all the eight essential ones by weight than the traditional high protein foods), twenty-seven minerals, the full range of known vitamins, plus enzymes, carbohydrates, fats, and plant growth hormones and other trace substances not yet identified.

Medical studies have shown the following benefits of pollen:

- Allergies: Pollen has an ability to immunize the body against anemophile (wind and air blown) pollens and relieves allergic symptoms.

- Anaemia: Pollen has been shown in studies to provoke a rapid increase in blood haemoglobin.

- Cancer: A US Department of Agriculture research project concluded that pollen is useful as a cancer preventative and restrictor of tumour development.

- Chelation: Pollen allows more oxygen to reach the body and brain cells by acting as an atherosclerotic flushing agent (a chelator).

- Stamina and Vitality: were increased for those using pollen on a regular basis.

- Convalescence: Pollen brings about a rapid increase in weight and energy during convalescence.
Intestinal: Pollen shows a regulatory action on intestinal functions - both on constipation as well as in cases of diarrhoea resistant to antibiotics.

- Menstruation: Pollen has been shown to bring relief in cases of painful and irregular menstruation.
Radiation: Laboratory animals exposed to high doses of radiation have been shown to have been protected by including pollen in their diet.

- Relaxation: Pollen produces a calming, tranquillising, and sedating effect without any side effects.

- Wound-healing: Pollen has been shown to increase the rate of healing, reduce scarring and prevent infection.

The United States Department of Agriculture (1992) tested and compared Bee Pollen with other fruit and vegetables and found that Bee Pollen, on a per calorie basis:

- has twice as much iron as any other common food type. Iron is essential for the effective flow of oxygen throughout the body. Bee Pollen contains over seven times more iron than beef.

- is higher in protein than most high-protein foods. Bee Pollen contains up to 50% more muscle-building protein than beef does

- is a valuable source of calcium. Strong bone development depends on high levels of dietary calcium. Bee Pollen contains twice as much calcium as milk.

- contains the strong antioxidant vitamins A (beta carotene), C and E, and was found to contain higher levels of beta carotene than all common foods except tomatoes.

- is an excellent source of three B Vitamins: Thiamin, Riboflavin and Niacin.

Bee Pollen has the highest natural level of folic acid (folate) of any common food, which may support the prostate gland and cell regeneration. It also contains natural antioxidants, of which the flavonoid quercetin is useful for helping the body’s natural response to allergens. Bee Pollen has also been shown to assist with energy levels, stamina, and athletic performance.

Pollen is becoming popular for curing cases of acne, obesity, lost appetite, weakness, loss of weight, intestinal disorders, psychosis, neurasthenia, retarded growth, cerebral haemorrhage, memory loss, general debility, minimal brain dysfunction in children, convalescence, and general malaise.

A study comparing cracked-shell pollen and natural pollen, such as Comvita Bee Pollen, showed there was no significant difference in terms of the bioavailability of a number of key components (Lister 1999)

Our pollen is certified organic harvested in New Zealand from native flowers.

What is Cacao?

Cacao is the seed of a fruit of an Amazonian tree that was brought to Central America during or before the time of the Olmecs. Cacao beans were so revered by the Mayans and Aztecs that they used them as money!

In 1753 Carl von Linnaeus, the 18th-century Swedish scientist, thought that cacao was so important that he named the genus and species of this tree himself. He named this tree: Theobroma cacao, which literally means "cacao, the food of the gods."

The following quote from the "Historia General y Natural de las Indias" (General History and Nature of the Indies) by Fernàndez de Oviedo (1535) describes where cacao originally came from according to Mayan myhthology "Cocoa was more than a simple food. It was a divine food. Quetzalcoalt, the sacred king of the Toltechi, high priest and king of Tula, was the gardener of paradise where the first men lived. From there, he brought the cacahuaquehitl or cacaotero to his country."

"The True History of Chocolate"

This is the title of a book written by Coe and Coe. The authors a husband and wife team, both Harvard academics, intended to document the definitive history of chocolate in this book (as there are many versions of the history of chocolate). Michael Coe a meso-american expert finished the book after his wife Sophie died of cancer while working on the book. For Sophie the history of chocolate was her passion and she spent hundreds of hours tracking down centuries-old manuscripts in the libraries of Europe and North America.

The Coe's refer to the pre-mayan culture of Olmecs, particularly the group based in Izapa in Xoconusco (Soconusco), Mexico as the place where the criollo variety of cacao was originally domesticated by this culture sometime between 400 B.C. and A.D.100. There are still small pockets of these original heirloom varieties of criollo cacao in semi-abondoned plantations around the ruins of Izapa, just outside Tapachula in Xoconusco. The region of Xoconusco and the cacao grown there was so prominent in their account of the true history of Chocolate that the coe's referred to it as "the diamond in the crown of the Aztec empire". The map shows the boundaries of the Aztec empire and the major cacao growing regions of the time just before the spanish conquest. You will notice the Aztecs conquered the small region of Soconusco even though it was far removed from the main part of their territory, just to be able to control the prized cacao grown in the region.

Loving Earth is currently working on a project with the Mayan Network of Organic Organizations in Mexico to restore this original variety of criollo cacao and the traditional system of Permaculture that the Mayans and the Olmecs before them used to cultivate this cacao. The raw cacao beans and nibs that we sell here are from Xoconusco and are the fruits of this project.

Cacao and Traditional Mesoamerican Life

Cacao was considered sacred by the mayans and was the major offering in most of their ceremonies. Even though the cacao bean was central to Mesoamerican life, only the very wealthy and powerful could afford to use it. The Mayan and Aztec priests and royalty drank copious amounts of a drink made from the fermented and crushed cacao seeds. This drink was called xocoatl or "bitter water" in Nahua. Later in Europe xocoatl became "chocolate." Xocoatl was used for ceremonies and religious observances. Priests used it as a part of their prayer offerings. Kings drank it for breakfast. Marriage vows were sealed by drinking xocoatl. It was a major part of every feast. During the 15th century, Nezahualcoyotl's court in Texcoco is recorded as consuming "four xipuipillis" or 32,000 beans each day. In the market place, the beans were accepted as standard currency. On market day, three beans would purchase a turkey egg, 100 beans a slave or a dugout canoe, 65-300 beans a cotton mantle. Cacao beans continued to be used as standard currency until 1887 in Mexico.The cacao of Xoconusco was considered the finest, best quality cacao by the aztec royalty and the largest annual taxes of cacao were collected from this region.

Cacao Beans, Butter, Liquor, Nibs, Powder, Raw Chocolate Bars & Chocolate Coconut Butter

The raw cacao bean is one of nature's most fantastic superfoods due to its wide array of unique properties, many of which are destroyed or corrupted by cooking.

"People always ask me what I eat. Raw, organic Cacao Beans are the primary food in my diet. They have inspired me to eat less and live more. Cacao Beans are truly the food of the gods, the best food ever!" - David Wolfe, co-author of 'Naked Chocolate' book.  Please go below to buy.

Cacao beans contain no sugar and between 12% and 50% fat depending on variety and growth conditions. There is no evidence to implicate cacao bean consumption with obesity.

Magnesium

Cacao is remarkably rich in magnesium.  Cacao seems to be the #1 source of magnesium of any food. This is likely the primary reason women crave chocolate during the menstrual period. Magnesium balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, and is associated with more happiness. Magnesium is the most deficient major mineral on the Standard American Diet (SAD); over 80% of Americans are chronically deficient in Magnesium!

Stimulant or Superfood?

Cacao contains subtle amounts of caffeine and theobromine. However, experiments have shown that these stimulants are far different when consumed raw than cooked.

Consider the following: Experimental provings of chocolate by homeopaths indicate its stimulating effect when cooked. One experiment conducted with a decoction of roasted ground cacao beans in boiling water produced an excitement of the nervous system similar to that caused by black coffee, an excited state of circulation, and an accelerated pulse. interestingly, when the same decoction was made with raw, unroasted beans neither effect was noticeable, leading the provers to conclude that the physiological changes were caused by aromatic substances released during roasting.

MAO Inhibitors

Cacao seems to diminish appetite, probably due to its monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitors (MAO inhibitors) - these are different from digestive enzyme inhibitors found in most nuts and seeds. These rare MAO inhibitors actually produce favorable results when consumed by allowing more serotonin and other neurotransmitters to circulate in the brain. According to Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MAO inhibitors facilitate youthening and rejuvenation.

Phenylethylamine (PEA)

Phenylethylamine (PEA) is found in chocolate. PEA is an adrenal-related chemical that is also created within the brain and released when we are in love. This is one of the reasons why love and chocolate have a deep correlation. PEA also plays a role in increasing focus and alertness.

Anandamide (The Bliss Chemical)

A neurotransmitter called anandamide, has been isolated in cacao. Anandamide is also produced naturally in the brain. Anandamide is known as "The Bliss Chemical" because it is released while we are feeling great. Cacao contains enzyme inhibitors that decrease our bodies' ability to breakdown anandamide. This means that natural anandamide and/or cacao anandamide may stick around longer, making us feel good longer, when we eat cacao.

Allergies?

A recent study showed that only one out of 500 people who thought they were allergic to chocolate actually tested positive. Allergies to chocolate are quite rare. It is typically the case that the person is in fact allergic to milk and dairy products.

Cacao & Antioxidants

Raw cacao is very high in antioxidants.  Its ORAC rating is 621 - compare that to blueberries at about 32!

Our Cacao beans, butter, liquor & powder are from Satipo, Peru. All products are made from lightly fermented cacao beans.

The certified organic indigenous growers use an age old system of permaculture, where the cacao trees are planted under the native forest canopy, along with other fruit trees, such as mango, avocado, papaya etc. All of these trees add their distinctive nuances to the fine multi-floral flavor of this exquisite cacao.

Association of cacao producers of Satipo

Satipo is a region that sits at the edge of Amazon basin at the base of the Andes mountain range. In this area Loving Earth works with 4 small producer groups that are grouped under the umbrella association of cacao producers of Satipo that consists of 164 families in total. This association is certified organic by Control Union and is a member of the Fair Trade Association.  This ensures the cacao is certified organic and fairly traded. Each family has approximately 2 hectares of criollo cacao and coffee bushes grown in the understory of larger trees - mainly coconut and other forest trees. The cacao of this region is known locally as the queen of cacao due to its fine aroma and distinctive flavour that is typical of South American criollos. With the increasing demand for this quality organic cacao the association has been steadily growing by introducing more producers to the organic farming methods and post harvest processing techniques. The association has set up a facility where they can process the cacao beans into cacao liquor and then cold press the liquor into powder and butter. This has taken some local ingenuity as cacao presses are normally heated to 80ºC so that they can operate efficiently. Cold pressing the cacao is a more laborious process and the cacao powder is left with a higher percentage of butter than the conventionally processed cacao. However as you have probably experienced the end product is vastly superior both in flavour and nutritional content. Due to this unique and high quality finished product the producers are able to charge a significantly higher price for their product than the standard fair trade cacao price.

These are raw whole unpeeled & lightly fermented organic cacao beans - from Peru.

These are the most potent whole unpeeled fermented cacao beans available.

Ancient cultures knew that certain foods were difficult if not impossible to digest in their completely raw and natural state and so implemented methods like fermentation in order to break these foods down so that they were able to digest them easily and obtain their nutrients.  This is exactly the case with raw cacao beans.

Fermentation
Fermentation is a process that is highly beneficial to any food in increasing the enzyme activity of that food and increasing the nutrient availability. 

Cacao beans, still covered with pulp, are placed in large, shallow wooden boxes or are left in piles and covered with banana leaves to start their fermentation process.

Once extracted from the pod-like fruit, purified water is then used to cleanse the beans. These whole beans are unpeeled and do not contain sugar or any other additives. They are then dried at low temperature and packed.

Cacao beans though called a bean are actually the seed pod of a fruit, eg, a nut, and, if unfermented, can be difficult for the human digestive system to break down due to the beans having a high phytic acid level which inhibits the uptake of alkaline minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc.

Phytic acid not only holds on to or chelates important minerals, but also inhibits enzymes that we need to digest our food.

Fermentation activates enzymes in the beans so the cacao beans are activated similar to the activated nuts that we supply.

Fermentation improves digestibility of the beans and increases nutrient availability while also reducing bitterness.

Fermentation does however lead to loss of antioxidants & anandamides so Loving Earth cacao beans are lightly fermented which renders them higher in health promoting antioxidant nutrients than fully fermented beans.

Raw cacao licqor isn't alcoholic, as its name may imply! It's the name for the ground-up raw cacao beans that are used to make chocolate & also pressed & separated into our raw cacao powder and raw cacao butter.

Our Cacao Butter is the raw, certified organic, chemical-free extract from raw cacao beans - the pure oil of the cacao bean.

White chocolate is made from cacao butter.

Our Cacao Butter is created through a proprietary cold-pressed method. This process begins by cold-pressing raw, organic Cacao Nibs into a "cake" in such a way that the oil begins to separate from the protein and fiber. The temperature is never allowed to exceed (or even reach) 120 degrees Fahrenheit and is usually 104 degrees Fahrenheit (all other cocoa butters are exposed to temperatures as high as 300 degrees Fahrenheit!). A high-accuracy thermometer is used throughout processing. Slowly, the pure, liquid cacao butter begins to sift off into a stainless steel valve that takes the cacao butter into a separate container where it is allowed to solidify and then packaged for shipment!

It takes approximately 2-1/2 to 3 kgs of raw cacao nibs/beans to create 1 kg of raw Cacao Butter.

Cacao Butter is the most prized oil known. .

100% pure love. 100% pure sensual joy.

No chemicals, no hexane, no solvents.

Melts at approximately 35 degrees Celsius.

How to use Cacao Butter:

Our Cacao Butter possesses an extraordinary rich, delicate chocolate aroma. Add a piece of this ecstatic butter to your favorite smoothie, dessert, ice cream or chocolate creation. Because it has not been damaged by heat, our cacao butter melts easily and blends nicely into any type of recipe. This makes it super fun and easy to use.

Cacao butter may be used as a skin moisturizer. It may be used as (or in conjunction with) a massage oil. We invite you to use cacao butter for intimate erotic encounters. You will hardly be able to believe the results.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Our raw organic Cacao Butter has a high level of stability and a long shelf-life - over 2 years.

 The chocolate revolution is in full swing!

We are extremely happy to present you with New Zealand's first raw cacao powder that's been organically certified.  As the market has grown, the Peruvian producer has been able to invest in new machinery and more people. Because of this, he's just perfected a technique that makes truly raw organic cacao powder. This means that you can now create the world's healthiest organic raw chocolate treats easier and cheaper than before. Oh, the decadence of it...

What is Raw Cacao Powder (Chocolate Powder)?

It's created by cold-pressing our cacao beans into a cake separating the oil from the protein and fibre. The temperature is never allowed to exceed 47 degrees Celsius and is usually 40 degrees Celsius (all other cocoa powders are exposed to temperatures as high as 150 degrees Celcius!). A high-accuracy thermometer monitors the process. Slowly, the pure, liquid cacao butter begins to sift off down a stainless steel valve. The remaining dry 'cake-like' material is then cold-ground, fine-milled and sifted so that only the finest, most bio-available raw cacao particles filter through into the finished product. This allows for maximum digestion and antioxidant absorption. It has a delightful, full, antioxidant-rich chocolate flavour.

This unique technique uses absolutely no chemicals, no hexane, no solvents.

The Amazing Story of Raw Cacao Powder

ORAC antioxidant laboratory analysis confirms that there are over 25,200 ORAC units in a single spoonful of Raw Cacao Powder!

This delicious, easy-to-use and mega-potent (955 ORAC units per gram!) form of chocolate has broken a world record. Never before has there been 25,200 ORAC units of antioxidant power in a spoonful of anything.

Dark chocolate has been touted as a source of antioxidants, but this raw cacao powder is way beyond that. Living proof that raw is better!

Why Antioxidants?

Antioxidants keep you looking young, they help fight disease, and they do all these things, too:

* Italian researchers found eating 100 grams of dark chocolate each day for 15 days lowered blood pressure in the 15-person study. The University of L'Aquila team also found the body's ability to metabolise sugar -- a problem for people with diabetes -- was improved. Because the effect was believed to be due to antioxidant levels, with Raw Cacao Powder we can likely multiply this effect.

* Dutch researchers indicate that dark chocolate contains four times the amount of catechin antioxidants than black tea, which is suspected of having a protective effect against heart disease and possibly cancer due to its antioxidant properties. With Raw Cacao Powder, it would be 28 times more than Black Tea and potentially 7 times the protection!

* In trials, doctors at Harvard found that Antioxidant compounds called Flavonols in chocolate help the body to produce nitric oxide, a compound essential for proper heart function. (Nitric oxide is also believed by pro bodybuilders to help increase muscularity.) Again, with Raw Cacao Powder, this effect could easily be multiplied.

Raw cacao powder contains about seven times as many antioxidants as cooked cacao powder, that's about 723% more!

Concentrated Nutrients

Because it's concentrated, raw cacao powder has at least 33% more of many of cacao's most vital nutrients! In Raw Cacao Powder, much of the oil is removed, while nearly all of the active nutrients remain. For example...

* The amino acid Tryptophan is found naturally in cacao. Tryptophan enhances relaxation and promotes better sleep. Now you'll get at least 33% more when you use Raw Cacao Powder!

* Researchers have discovered that phenylethylamine (PEA) has a positive effect in enhancing feelings of love. And Chocolate has been proven to be an excellent source of PEA. Now you can love at least 33% more with Raw Cacao Powder!

* Cacao is the richest food source of magnesium of any common food. Magnesium is the number one mineral that assists and supports healthy heart functioning. Now you get at least 33% more magnesium gram-per-gram with Raw Cacao Powder!

* Raw Cacao Powder has at least 33% more Arginine, the aphrodisiac-like amino acid believed by body builders to build muscle and aid in recovery.
   
* And much, much more!

We could talk forever about the qualities of raw chocolate, but that's what ther book Naked Chocolate book is all about!

How To Use Raw Cacao Powder

Here are just a few ideas for using your Raw Cacao Powder. You can...

* Add it to your favorite smoothies (one heaping tablespoon will do) and watch them instantly become Raw Chocolate masterpieces!

* You can blend it with raw coconut oil and agave nectar - for instant raw chocolate syrup! (Then put this on top of raw ice cream or fresh fruit - AMAZING!)

* You can blend it in a food processor with raw nut butters and agave nectar, for the most delicious desert you've ever had. (In fact, similar nut butters mixed with roasted cocoa powder are very expensive in health food stores.)

* You can make any cookie, brownie or pie more chocolatey and delicious - just add a tablespoon or more to taste.

* You can blend it with sweet almond milk. This gives you a creamy dark chocolate milk that's LOADED with antioxidant power and tastes out of this world!

Storage

Please refrigerate or store in a cool, dry place (out of direct sunlight) if you can, though it's not essential. This product is microbe-free and highly-stable.

Check out our Raw Cacao Powder

In the book Naked Chocolate they mentioned the amazing story of the Kuna Indians, who live on the San Blas Islands of Panama. These people have always had extremely low blood pressure and that it did not climb as they got older. In fact, they always remained in remarkably great health.

When the lifestyles of these people were studied, one thing stuck out. The Kuna living on the islands drank a significant amount of locally grown, minimally processed, high-flavonol cocoa.

The best part: for the first time ever, YOU can do the exact same thing. You get to drink and eat this simple, yet powerful food - very likely the most potent source of health-promoting antioxidants in existence.

"Naked Chocolate is fantastic! I love it very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you a million times." - Dr. Patrick Flanagan, Inventor of Crystal Energy, MegaHydrate and the Neurophone, voted one of America's top 10 scientists (at the age of 17!) 

Caigua Powder - Organic

Caigua (Cyclanthera pedata) is native to Peru and is also called the wild cucumber. The fruit is long, curved and soft, with a pointed tip, 10 to 20 cm long. The surface is irregular with longitudinal striations and soft, curved spines, and the color varies from light to dark green. It is usually eaten as vegetable in salads. In case of disease or/and obesity it can be eaten as juice extract during a fast. It is also effective as dehydrated powder. It has various traditional medicinal usages, mainly to:

    * Control cholesterol
    * Reduce obesity
    * Control high blood pressure
    * Regulates the metabolism of lipids and sugar in the blood stream, decreasing cholesterol

Caigua Powder

Caigua reduces blood cholesterol levels, especially light cholesterol (LDL) that is accumulated in arteries as lipoprotein components which are determinative agents on arteriosclerosis processes. It is doubly beneficial since it reduces LDL cholesterol (known as the bad type), while it has been shown in various clinical studies that it increases the HDL cholesterol (known as the good type). This double effect makes caigua an ideal compound for helping to control more adequate levels of blood cholesterol.

It has been said it is the most natural and the most potent fat absorber and taken together with Hercampuri, it is consumed to rejuvenate & reduce cellulite.

Pharmacological Information

The unicentric, randomized, parallel and double blind test carried out in the Cayetano Heredia University in post-menopausal women showed reduction in cholesterol levels with a dosage of 1800 mg of micro-pulverized caigua daily. Hypercholesterol was reduced from 75% to 12.5%. It was shown that the levels of the LDL cholesterol decreased, while that of HDL cholesterol increased.

Another study realized by the same University in 60 adults for a period of 12 weeks registered the reduction of LDL cholesterol by 23% and increase of HDL cholesterol by 42% in the group treated with 6 capsules daily. In the cases of hypercholesterolaemia, treatment with 6 capsules daily normalized the levels of seric cholesterol in 82% of the cases.

A preclinical study showed a decrease in cholesterol levels from the 332.4 in the control group to 128.4 in the group treated with freeze-dried caigua at a dosage of 40mg/100g of diet for a period of 8 weeks. Results from clinical studies on adult male and females in Peru suggest that dehydrated Caigua resulted in an adequate treatment for cases of hyper-cholesterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia.

A preclinical study compared the anti-inflammatory effect of caigua, administered intra-peritoneum, with that of ibuprofin, showing an anti-inflammatory effect of 57% in the case of caigua at the maximum dosage investigated, as compared with 35.7%in the case of ibuprofin. The effect was shown to be dosage dependent. A similar study using oral administration showed a more moderate effect with respect to the percentage inhibition of inflammation, but always dosage dependent.

Toxicological Information

Adverse Reactions: Caigua is considered to be non-toxic and has no reported adverse reactions or Interactions with other substances.

Precautions: Do not take during pregnancy.

Conditions for storage: Keep dry & out of direct light.

Phytochemicals

Ripe fruit contains: peptin, galacturonic acid, dihydroxitriptamine, pierine, resins, minerals (phosphorus), vitamins (thiamine, vit. C), lipoproteins and steroidal compound (systosterol and 3 beta D glucoside) with hypoglicaemic and antilipemic (against cholesterol LDL) action, low density lipoproteins.

Unripe fruit contains: luteoline, diosgenine (basis of production of sex hormones, anti-inflammatory and anabolizants), stigmasterol, stigmadicine.

Camu Camu (Mycaria dubia) is a bush that grows in black water rivers, especially in those abandoned courses called "cochas", ecosystems of great social and economic importance for the Amazonian jungle of Peru. The fruit contains powerful phytochemicals with health benefits, including the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, and more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. The Camu Camu fruit is approximately 2 centimeters in diameter and has a purplish red skin with a yellow pulp. Camu Camu fruit contains 30 to 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange. It has astringent, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, emollient and nutritional properties, and also contains important levels of beta carotene, calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin and thiamin.

Camu Camu is traditionally made into a juice by people of the rainforest to support the immune system, ward off viral infections, and help maintain optimal health, especially under conditions of stress and anxiety, which tend to deplete the immune system. It also contains bioflavenoids, the amino acids, serine, valine, and leucine, as well as important amounts of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. Camu Camu helps to promote healthy gums, eyes, and skin and supports the functions of the brain (nervous system) and heart (circulatory system).

Traditionally, native medicine practioners and herbalists have recommended Camu Camu for:

• Strengthening the immune system
• Improving symptoms of herpes infections, including mouth blisters, genital blisters, shingles blisters and other viral infections
• Promoting energy and vitality of people with chronic immune dysfunction
• Strengthening the nervous system
• Supporting healthy levels of white blood cell formation
• Detoxifying the body, especially the liver
• Promoting health of upper respiratory organs, including lungs, sinuses, nasal passages
• Promoting a healthy heart and circulatory system

Pharmacological Information

The Camu Camu fruit has a surprising range of medicinal effects. In joint studies with IIAP, Sandoval (2000) of Albany University has demonstrated that Camu Camu flesh has a great antioxidant power, and it inhibits the radical DPPH (1,1-diphenil-2-picrilhydrazil), surpassing that of ascorbic acid and trolox (water soluble analog of vitamin C).

Some of the extraordinary medicinal properties of this Amazon rain forest fruit are described by Gary Null, Ph.D., a nationally known nutritionist and researcher. In discussing the holistic treatment of depression he lists 19 plants containing chemical compounds with antidepressant properties. In order of potency, Camu Camu is listed second in effectiveness. Some have been able to gradually wean themselves off of their anti-depression prescription medication (such as Zoloft and Prozac) under medical supervision and substitute Camu Camu powder with no relapse into depression. Although the amount taken varies for different people, some have taken, on an empty stomach, 1/2 teaspoon of Camu Camu powder in a glass of water four times daily. Others have taken one tsp. either once or twice daily. One alternative health care provider in New York City has had twenty patients on Zoloft and Prozac gradually wean themselves off these medications while taking camu camu and they have succeeded in avoiding depression. Good results have also been noted for patients who are anxious, talkative, and those with panic attacks.

Camu Camu has been part of an effective protocol for a 14 year old boy who was hospitalized for 15 months at the age of eight for suicidal depression. This boy also has learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.). His psychiatrists put him on 40 mg. of Prozac, 100 mg. of Ritalin, as well as Clomadine and Imiprimine, which he remained on for years, keeping him in a barely functional, drugged state. Working with an alternative medical professional, his mother withdrew him gradually from these drugs and began a protocol which included Ginkgo Biloba, high amounts of Vitamin C and B vitamins. In the last few months she has added two teaspoons of Camu Camu (divided dose on empty stomach with water) and one capsule a day (500 mg.) of Maca to his protocol. She reports that since adding these two herbs her son's immune function has improved--he gets sick less often, his mood is better - "it has smoothed him out" - and the combination of these two herbs have increased his ability to focus.

Camu Camu is at the top of Null's list of plants with medicinal effectiveness against the herpes virus. All forms of the herpes virus lie dormant at the base of the spine and become active when the immune system is stressed beyond its ability to respond effectively against pathenogens. Common stressors include emotional upsets, other illnesses, prescription drugs, insufficient rest, poor diet, menstrual periods, vaginal yeast infections, and too much sunlight on the skin. Genital herpes is usually transmitted sexually. The principal anti-viral pharmaceutical medicine is acyclovir, which has unpleasant and even toxic side effects. The herpes virus takes a number of different forms and is widespread today as a public health problem in the United States. More than 50% of the U.S. population gets cold sores, which is the result of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). The Epstein-Barr virus is a common form of the herpes virus which may linger in the body for years, raising the total viral load which the body must combat. Yet another form of the herpes virus is genital herpes which is caused by the herpes simplex virus 2. In total, more than 80% of the U.S. population suffers from some kind of herpes infection. Null lists 19 plants which contain anti-herpetic phyto-chemicals. Camu Camu is listed as the most potent.

Dosage:

Many people have stopped using large dosages of synthetic Vitamin C because they find that just 1 to 2 grams (1 tspn) of Camu Camu powder is energizing, mood-lifting and highly effective in strengthening the immune system. It has the additional benefit of being non-irritating to sensitive stomachs and bladders.

Although the number of milligrams of Vitamin C, which Camu Camu contains, is low compared to the milligrams in synthetically derived Vitamin C tablets, the effects on the human body are incomparable. Because of its food form, with bioflavanoids and other phytochemicals, clinical evidence suggests that it is far more effective, milligram for milligram, than synthetic Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and Ester C. Many people report that 1000 mg (1/3 tsp.) is sufficient to significantly increase their wellness.

In Brazil, Camu Camu is being promoted as a product that untangles and strengthens hair, and protects it from external damage, adding to its shine and vitality. Camu Camu is being used in a new line of cosmetics specially recommended for damaged and dull hair that include shampoos, conditioners, hair masques, hair renewal that add body and shine to hair.

Toxicological Information

Adverse Reactions: Camu Camu is considered to be non-toxic and has no reported adverse reactions or Interactions with other substances.

Precautions: Do not take during pregnancy.

Warning: Interrupt use if any adverse reactions are noticed. Consult a health practitioner.

Conditions for storage: Keep in a fresh, dry place. Protect from light.

Ingredients:  Wildcrafted Organic Camu Camu Powder extract 87%, Organic Maltodextrine 13% (The maltodextrine, which is made from yucca, is added to protect the sensitive phytonutrients)

Cat's Claw Powder & Tea - Wildcrafted

Save 20% on Cat's claw powder!

Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa), locally called  Uña de Gato, is indigenous to the Amazon rainforest and other tropical areas of South and Central America. It is a vine with thorns that resemble at cat's claw. Extracts from the bark and roots of Cat's Claw have been used by the indigenous people for thousands of years to maintain health and vitality and in particular to treat immune and digestive disorders. Cat's Claw has long been used also as a homeopathic treatment for intestinal ailments. Uses include: Crohn's disease, gastric ulcers and tumors, parasites, colitis, gastritis, diverticulitis and leaky bowel syndrome.

The immuno-stimulant properties of Cat's Claw help the body fight off infections and protect against degenerative diseases. By stimulating the immune system, it can also improve response to viral and respiratory infections. It has also anti-inflammatory properties which counters bronchial oedema.
 
The active substances in Cat's Claw are alkaloids, tannins and several other phytochemicals. Some of the alkaloids have been proven to boost the immune system. Four of its alkaloids have been shown to have a pronounced enhancement effect on phagocytosis (the ability of the white blood cells and macrophages to attack, engulf and digest harmful micro-organisms, foreign matter, and debris). The major alkaloid rhynchophylline has anti-hypertensive effects and may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack by lowering blood pressure, increasing circulation, reducing heart rate and controlling cholesterol.

World wide research done on this powerful herb has led scientists to patent many of the single chemicals found in it for use in healing cancer, arthritis, AIDS, and other diseases. However, traditional wisdom shows that using the whole plant can be far more powerful than any one isolated ingredient.

Side Effects and Cautions

* Few side effects have been reported for cat's claw when it is taken at recommended dosages. Though rare, side effects may include headaches, dizziness, and vomiting.
* Women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant should avoid using cat's claw because of its past use for preventing and aborting pregnancy.
* Tell your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

NEW!!! We are pleased to offer certified organic chia at lower prices!

Salvia hispanica (Chia) is a plant of the genus Salvia in the family Lamiaceae native to Mexico. The word chia is derived from the Aztec word chian, meaning oily. The present Mexican state of Chiapas received its name from the Nahua "chia water or river."

Chia was cultivated by the Aztecs in pre-Columbian times. Jesuit chroniclers referred to chia as the third most important crop to the Aztecs behind only corn and beans, and ahead of amaranth. Tribute and taxes to the Aztec priesthood and nobility were often paid in chia seed.

A great benefit of the chia seed is its durability. Unlike flax-seeds, chia can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid, and does not require grinding. Chia also contains higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids than flax-seeds, yielding 25-30% extractable oil, mostly α-linolenic acid (ALA).  Chia seeds typically contain 20% protein, 34% oil, 25% dietary fiber (mostly soluble with high molecular weight), and significant levels of antioxidants (chlorogenic and caffeic acids, myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol flavonols). The oil from chia seeds contains a very high concentration of omega-3 fatty acid — approximately 64%. Chia seeds contain no gluten and trace levels of sodium.Chia is also is a source of antioxidants and a variety of amino acids. For all these health related benefits, chia is in the process of application before the EU authorities to be considered as a novel food.

Two tablespoons of chia – about 25 grams – provide about seven grams of fibre. This dose also includes calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, manganese, copper, niacin, and zinc.

In a preliminary study from the University of Toronto (2006), researchers gave 21 diabetics either a supplement made from chia, or grains with similar fibre content. The results were interesting. After three months, blood pressure from the chia group dropped 10 points diastolic and 5 points systolic., while the blood pressure from the grain group remained steady.

Taste-wise, chia seeds have a nutty flavour, and are a healthful addition to the diet sprinkled on cereals, yogurt or salads. You can also eat them whole or mix them into flour when baking bread, muffins or other baked goods.  They are also great to sprout,

Known as the running food, its use as a high energy endurance food has been recorded as far back as the ancient Aztecs. It was said the Aztec warriors subsisted on chia seed during the conquests. The Indians of the south west would eat as little as a teaspoon full when going on a 24 hour forced march. Indians running form the Colorado River to the California coast to trade turquoise for seashells would only bring the Chia seed for their nourishment. 

Chia is grown commercially in its native Mexico, and in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador and Guatemala. In 2008, Australia was the world's largest producer of chia. A similar species, golden chia, is used in the same way but not widely grown commercially. Salvia hispanica seed is marketed most often under its common name "Chia," but also under several trademarks, including "Sachia," "Anutra," "Chia Sage," "Salba," and "Tresalbio."

Chia is an annual herb growing to 1m tall, with opposite leaves 4 – 8cm long and 3 – 5cm broad. Its flowers are purple or white and are produced in numerous clusters in a spike at the end of each stem. Chia seeds are typically small ovals with a diameter of about one millimeter. They are mottle-colored with brown, gray, black and white.

How to Use Chia

Chia seed may be eaten raw as a dietary fiber and omega-3 supplement. Grinding chia seeds produces a meal called pinole, which can be made into porridge or cakes. Chia seeds soaked in water or fruit juice is also often consumed and is known in Mexico as chia fresca. The soaked seeds are gelatinous in texture and are used in gruels, porridges and puddings. Ground chia seed is used in baked goods including breads, cakes and biscuits.

Chia sprouts are used in a similar manner as alfalfa sprouts in salads, sandwiches and other dishes.

If you try placing a spoonful of chia in a glass of water and leaving it for approximately 30 minutes or so, when you return the glass will appear to contain not seeds or water, but an almost solid gelatin. This gel-forming reaction is due to the soluble fiber in the chia. Researchers believe this same gel-forming phenomenon takes place in the stomach when food containing these gummy fibers, known as mucilages, are eaten. The gel that is formed in the stomach creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar.

In addition to the obvious benefits for diabetics, this slowing in the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar offers the ability for creating endurance. Carbohydrates are the fuel for energy in our bodies. Prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilises metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows creating a longer duration in their fueling effects.

One of the exceptional qualities of the Chia seed is its hydrophilic properties, having the ability to absorb more than 12 times its weight in water. Its ability to hold on to water offers the ability to prolong hydration. Fluids and electrolytes provide the environment that supports the life of all the body’s cells. Their concentration and composition are regulated to remain as constant as possible. With chia seeds, you retain moisture, regulate, more efficiently, the bodies absorption of nutrients and body fluids. Because there is a greater efficiency in the utilization of body fluids, the electrolyte balance is maintained.

Fluid and electrolyte imbalances occur when large amounts of fluids are lost resulting from vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, or more commonly from sweating? The loss of extracellular fluid occurs in these conditions. Intercellular fluid then shifts out of cells to compensate, causing abnormal distribution of electrolytes across cell membranes resulting in cellular malfunction. Retaining and efficiently utilising body fluids maintains the integrity of extracellular fluids, protecting intercellular fluid balance. The results of which ensure normal electrolyte dispersion across cell membranes (electrolyte balance), maintaining fluid balances, resulting in normal cellular function.

Chia seeds are the definitive hydrophilic colloid for the 21 century diet. Hydrophilic colloids, (a watery, gelatinous, glue-like substance) form the underlying elements of all living cells. They posses the property of readily taking up and giving off the substances essential to cell life. The precipitation of the hydrophilic colloids cause cell death.

The food we eat, in the raw state, consist largely of hydrophilic colloids. When cooked on the other had, precipitates its colloidal integrity. This change in the colloidal state alters the hydration capacity of our foods so as to interfere with their ability to absorb digestive juices. If we were to eat a raw diet we wouldn’t need to introduce the addition of any hydrophilic colloid to our diet. Uncooked foods contain sufficient hydrophilic colloid to keep gastric mucosa in the proper condition. But even with raw foods, they must first be partially broken down by the digestive juices, beginning in the mouth and continuing through he upper tract, to allow the gelatinous reaction to take place. Because of this upper tract digestive process, those who suffer from slow digestion, gas formation, relaxed cardia and heartburn in which the burning is due to organic acids instead of an excess of the normal hydrochloric acid, which frequently accompanies chronic inflammation disease affecting such organs as the heart, lungs, gall bladder and appendix, are usually restricted from eating raw foods. A hydrophilic colloid incorporated with these foods may be used either in connection with the patients regular food or with whatever diet the physician feels is best suited for his patient.  The patient with gastric atony or nervous indigestion who complains of heartburn and/or vomiting four to five hours after eating is often helped.  There is a lessening of emptying time if the stomach and an improvement in gastric tone. 

Chia seed may be used in conjunction with almost any diet your doctor or nutritionist feels is necessary for your condition.  The Chia’s hydrophilic colloidal properties aid the digestion of any foods contributing to the patients suffering as a result of a sour stomach.  Even if you have sensitivity to certain foods, they may be tolerated with slight discomfort or none at all if a hydrophilic colloid is made a part of your diet.  The positive effects on the digestion in the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract often leads to puree their foods may find benefits from hydrophilic colloids which may lead to eliminating the necessity for pureeing.  Even raw vegetables, green salads and fruits, which are largely restricted, may often be given to these patients with little or no discomfort after a short time.

There are several hydrophilic foods available that offer these natural benefits.  Cactus juice, beet juice, agar, the edible seaweeds, and many proprietary preparations, which include the silica gels, mucilaginous substance of vegetables origin, are among colloids that prove effective.  Each one of the above mentioned substances have one or more drawbacks.   They are either too expensive, they may produce toxic side effects, bad tasting, not readily available, insufficient hydration capability, or it is indigestible.

Chia seed, a muscle and tissue builder and an energizer of endurance with extensive hydration properties, possesses none of the above disadvantage, and because if its physiochemical properties, supports effective treatment in immediate problems of digestion.  Exactly why this should be true may be puzzling at first.  However, if we consider the effect of unusual irritation upon the nerves of the gastrointestinal canal, it is reasonable the think that a less violent and more balanced digestion might quiet the activity of the otherwise hyperactive gut.  Inasmuch as the same foods, which formerly produced irritation, may frequently be continued without harm when hydrophilic colloids are used.   The relief to nerve irritation seems to offer a logical explanation.

The change, in the lower gastrointestinal tract, is due to the effect of the hydrophilic colloid and to a more complete digestion-taking place along the entire tract due to physiochemical alterations.   Both factors are important, as there is undoubtedly a better assimilation of food that supports enhanced nutritional absorption while significantly extending necessary hydration as well as encouraging proper elimination.

As a source of protein, the Chia, after ingestion, is digested and absorbed very easily.  This results in rapid transport to the tissue and utilization by the cells.  This efficient assimilation makes the Chia very effective when rapid development of tissue takes place, primarily during growth periods if children and adolescents.  Also for the growth and regeneration of tissue during pregnancy and lactation, and this would also include regeneration of muscle tissue for conditioning, athletes, weight lifters, etc.

Another unique quality if the Chia seed is its high oil content, and the richest vegetables source for the essential omega-3 fatty acid.  It has approximately three to ten times the oil concentrations of most grains and one and a half to two times the protein concentrations of other grains.   These oils, unsaturated fatty acids, are the essential oils your body needs to help emulsify and absorb the fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E, & K.  Chia seeds are rich in the unsaturated fatty acid, linoleic, which the body cannot manufacture.  When there are rich amounts of linoleic acid sufficiently supplied to the body trough diet, linoleic and arachidonic acids can be synthesized from linoleic acid.

Unsaturated fatty acids are important for respiration of vital organs and make it easier for oxygen to be transported by the blood stream to all cells, tissues, and organs. They also help maintain resilience and lubrication of all cells and combine with protein and cholesterol to form living membranes that hold the body cells together.

Unsaturated fatty acids are essential for normal glandular activity, especially of the adrenal glands and the thyroid glad.  They nourish the skin cells and are essential for healthy mucus membranes and nerves.  The unsaturated fatty acids function in the body by cooperating with vitamin D in making calcium available to the tissues, assisting in the assimilation of phosphorus, and stimulating the conversion of carotene into vitamin A.   Fatty acids are related to normal functioning of the reproductive system.   Chia sees contain beneficial long-chain triglycerides (LCT) in the right proportion to reduce cholesterol on arterial walls.

The Chia seed is also a rich source of calcium as it contains the important mineral boron, which acts as catalyst for the absorption and utilization of the calcium by the body.

Chia, as an ingredient, is a dieters dream food.  There are limitless ways to incorporate the Chia seed into your diet.  Chia must be prepared with pure water before using recipes.  The seed will absorb 9 times it’s weight in water in less than 10 minutes and is very simple to prepare.

Food Extender/Calorie Displacer:  The optimum ratio of water to seed, for most recipes, is 9 part water to 1 part seed.  One pound if seed will make 10 pounds of Chia gel.  This is the most unique structural quality of the Chia seed.  The seed’s hydrophilic (water absorbing) saturated cells hold the water, so when it is mixed with foods, it displaces calories and fat without diluting flavor.  In fact, I have found that because Chia gel displaces rather than dilutes, it creates more surface area and can actually enhance the flavor rather than dilute it. Chia gel also works as a fat replacer for many recipes.

Making Chia Gel (9 to 1 ratio): Put water in a sealable container and slowly pour seed into water while whisking briskly. This process will avoid any clumping of the seed.  Wait a couple of minutes, whisk again and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.  Whisk again before using or storing in refrigerator (Gel will keep up to 2 weeks). You can add this mix to jams, jellies, hot or cold cereals, yogurts, mustard, catsup, tarter sauce, BBQ sauce, etc..  Add the gel, between 50% to 75% by volume, to any of the non-bake mentioned foods, mix well and taste. You will notice a very smooth texture with the integrity of the flavour intact. In addition to adding up to 50% to 75% more volume to the foods used, you have displaced calories and fat by incorporating an ingredient that is 90% water. Use as a fat replacer, for energy and endurance, or for added great taste, buy substituting the oil in your breads with Chia gel. Top your favorite bread dough before baking with Chia gel (for toping on baked goods, breads, cookies, piecrust, etc., reduce the water ration to 8 parts water to 1 part Chia seed) for added shelf life.

There are additional benefits from the Chia seed aside from the nutritive enhancements when used as an ingredient. It was also used by the Indians and missionaries as a poultice for gunshot wounds and other serious injuries. They would pack the wounds with Chia seeds to avoid infections and promote haling. If you place a seed or two in your eyes it will clean your eyes and will also help to clear up any infections. There is a wealth of benefits beyond the information outlined in this article and treasure-trove of benefits yet to be discovered. Chia seed, having a qualitatively unique situational richness along with a profound nutritive profile is one of man’s most useful and beneficial foods and is destined to be the Ancient Food of the Future.

Nature's ultimate detoxifier, purifier, cleanser and deodoriser.  Chlorella is a pure green microlalgae abundant in essential micronutrients and RNA/DNA nucleic acids.

The “Double” Secret of Chlorella’s Success

Chlorella has helped thousands of people get their health back on track, because it has something no other food has to help you undo years of damage done by illness and unhealthy habits with amazing results. Because they’re healthier on the inside, many people report such positive changes as:

• Maintaining healthy circulation, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels
• Cleansing of toxins from junk food, cigarettes, and poor diet that bog you down and trigger illness
• A more restful night’s sleep and more get-up-and-go to enjoy activities you love
• Better elimination and help for ulcers and digestive upset
• Improved skin tone, soft, thick hair and strong nails
   
  ...and so much more!

How can one whole food supplement do all of this? At the very core of each Chlorella cell lies two amazing properties:

1. The richest source of nucleic acids — more than any other food on earth! You may know that nucleic acids are the basic building blocks of life — and are critical to keep your natural defense system working in peak condition. An abundance of these nucleic acids helps your body to reproduce the immune-enhancing cells that can help you feel young, healthy and vibrant.

Research shows that your body loses its precious ability to make nucleic acids — or RNA and DNA — as you age, making your cells inefficient. Illness creeps up on you before you know it. This means YOU feel weak and tired and old. You even look old!

One of the best ways to revitalize your body is to get these vital nucleic acids into your diet.

Unfortunately, most foods today are depleted of nucleic acids through processing. But ounce-per-ounce, Chlorella has much more than even canned sardines, which were once thought to have the highest nucleic acid content of any food.

For you this means Chlorella can give you stronger natural defenses to get healthy and stay healthy!

2. The remarkable Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) provides super youth enhancement to help your body renew itself and fight off the harmful effects of the premature aging process.

You won’t find CGF in any vitamin, mineral or herb.

It is only found in chlorella and it contains a unique mixture of nature’s most potent agents that nourish and replenish your body. CGF is naturally “built in” to the heart of each Chlorella cell in a way that optimizes your body’s ability to absorb and benefit from it the most.

How does it do this? CGF actually gives your body “the signal” it needs to build NEW cells. When you take Chlorella with CGF, you get a constant supply of strong new cells to revitalize your health and make you feel young again.

The internal programming of CGF makes it possible for the chlorella cells to actually quadruple themselves every 24 hours while they’re first being grown in their natural environment. So one cell becomes four new cells, and so on and so on. And when cells keep dividing to create new cells, you see and feel renewal in so many ways.

Chlorella helps

• replenish your cells for more youthful skin and a fresher appearance
• give you more energy to exercise and be more active so you can burn more unwanted fat easier
• stimulate new cell growth for stronger, healthier muscles and tissues
• speed up your body’s natural revitalization

Are You Clean Inside?

It is no secret that much of the food we eat is peppered with chemicals - insecticides, pesticides, preservatives, colours and flavours. It can also often be loaded with saturated fats and refined carbohydrates. It is because of all these toxic materials we eat that bowel problems have soared, not only in New Zealand, but also in Australia, the U.S.A, the United Kingdom and Asia.

As this ‘sludge’ clogs up our bodies, our system slows down and our cells find it hard to absorb anything good and end up being drowned in slime and junk. It can’t be absorbed, we can’t get rid of it as waste, and so it sits and rots inside us!

Is Your Bowel Toxic?

Many people are horrified to hear that one sign of a good healthy bowel is having two to three bowel motions a day! Symptoms of over-toxicity or ‘rotting’in the bowels are generally seen as feeling sluggish and tired, low energy, irritability, bad breath, body odour, headaches, loss of appetite, flatulence, infrequent bowel motions and often just a feeling of being unwell. As more research is done, it is being discovered that many diseases are aggravated or even caused by poor bowel health. If you can’t get rid of the toxins or waste in your bowel, your body will not have the ability to function or heal properly. This is why cleansing and detoxifying the body regularly is so mportant. The main objective is to increase our body’s ability to get rid of waste and to greatly improve our ability to absorb the essential nutrients from our ood.One of the most powerful and natural ways to do this is by using premium quality ‘outdoor-grown’ Lifestream Chlorella. Studies have shown that ifestream Chlorella is highly abundant in unique phytonutrients and antioxidants that can offer protection against chronic disease, radiation, toxins and other pollutants in our air, water and food supply.

The Benefits of Being ‘Clean’ Inside

• A healthy, regular bowel
• Clear, vibrant skin
• High levels of energy
• Fresh, pleasant breath
• Feeling clear-headed and focused
• A good sense of well being and vitality

Chlorophyll - Clean and Green

Our grandmothers have always told us to ‘eat our greens’. One of the main reasons ‘greens’ are so good for you is
that they contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a powerful dark green plant nutrient that has been referred to as ‘Green Blood’ because it looks like the hemoglobin molecule in human blood - as such it has powerful cleansing and detoxifying properties, makes an excellent blood tonic and has a long history of being effective at deodorizing bad smells.

One of the most effective and easiest ways to get the benefits of chlorophyll is in Lifestream Chlorella, which contains the highest natural source of chlorophyll available. Lifestream Chlorella helps cleanse stagnant blood. When your blood is clean, so follows the liver, bowel, organs, cells and tissues. You can really feel and smell the difference!

Japanese Studies Show Chlorella in action

Chlorella has been used to detoxify people suffering from pesticide and insecticide exposure. A study conducted at the Institute for Environmental Pollution Research in Japan gave 30 patients 4-6 grams of Chlorella per day for a one-year period. Reported improvements included feeling less tired, better digestion and normal bowel movements.

What is in Lifestream Chlorella?
Lifestream Chlorella is a natural microscopic plant containing over 20 vitamins and minerals, 65% protein and is abundant in essential micronutrients and RNA/ DNA nucleic acids. It is nature’s richest source of Chlorophyll. As such, it has powerful cleansing and detoxifying properties and makes an excellent blood tonic.

Unique to Chlorella is CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor) – its inherent genetic stability gives it the potential to help repair damaged organs, tissues, DNA and RNA. DNA is the master substance of life carrying all inherited traits and directing the activity of each cell. The detoxification capability of Lifestream Chlorella is due to its incredibly high content of chlorophyll and its ‘cracked’ cell walls. They have the uncanny ability to ‘grab onto’ unwanted materials, pollutants and some heavy metal residues in the bowel and intestines and help to flush them from the body.

Give your body an internal deodorant!

Lifestream Chlorella cleans and detoxifies the body on many levels:

– Cleans and flushes out stored waste and pollutants in the body
– Aids the liver in ridding the body of toxins
– Acts as an internal deodorant, refreshing the bowel and breath and helping to reduce body odour
– Helps cleanse stagnant blood

Who should take Lifestream Chlorella?

Lifestream Chlorella is suitable for those wishing to maintain a clean and healthy bowel and liver by feeding the body nutrients that cleanse, detoxify and rejuvenate their system. It can be used for a short, intense detox and cleansing programme as well as for ongoing use to maintain a clean and healthy internal system.

Symptoms of over-toxicity or ‘rotting’ in the bowels are generally seen as:

• Sluggishness
• Low energy
• Irritability
• A spotty, pimply complexion
• Irregular bowel motions
• Bad breath
• Body odour
• Flatulence
• An ongoing feeling of being ‘under the weather’

How to take Lifestream Chlorella

Lifestream Chlorella is available in convenient minitablets or in powder to make a delicious fruit smoothie.

When taking Lifestream Chlorella, drink at least 4 glasses of pure water daily.

Short Two Week Cleanse

Begin by taking 4 grams daily (20 mini tablets or one rounded teaspoon of powder) with food for a two week period.
During this period, concentrate on eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (especially dark green leafy vegies), whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans and pulses and vegetable based proteins. For ideal results and to maintain your ‘clean insides’, follow up with the long term cleanse below.

Long Term Daily Cleanse

If you are eating a natural, fresh foods diet, take 2 grams daily (10 mini tablets or 2/3 of a level teaspoon of powder) with food. If your diet includes processed, refined and fatty foods or regular consumption of alcohol, caffeine or tobacco,
then your long term dose should be 3 grams daily (15 mini tablets or one level teaspoon of powder) with food.

We believe Lifestream Chlorella is the finest quality Chlorella available anywhere in the world.

These are our reasons:

1. PREMIUM QUALITY ‘OUTDOOR-GROWN’ CHLORELLA
Lifestream Chlorella has been ‘outdoor-grown’ in world-renowned pristine sub-tropical coral reef islands with pioneering technology for over 35 years. ‘Outdoor-grown’ Chlorella is far superior to indoor-grown Chlorella with much higher levels of Chlorophyll, CGF, Iron, Carotenoids, Calcium and Protein.

2. CERTIFIED BY JHFA FOR UNMATCHED PURITY
Lifestream Chlorella is guaranteed to be 100% pure and 100% GE FREE. We guarantee no pesticides, herbicides, fillers, binders, additives, chemicals, synthetics or excipients are ever used.Lifestream Chlorella is certified by and exceeds the strict standards set by Japan Health Food and Nutrition Food Association (JHFA).
These manufacturing standards are among the toughest and most stringent in the world

3. DIGESTIBILITY
Lifestream Chlorella uses a unique Jet-Spray-Dry-Breaking Cell technology that gives an astonishing 82.8% digestibility.
Some Chlorella’s use the ‘heating and blanching’ method and
this only gives a low 50% digestibility.

4. NUTRITIONALLY RICHER
The Jet-Spray-Dry-Breaking Cell technology achieves a higher and more stable nutritive Chlorella than other methods.
Very importantly, Lifestream Chlorella is thoroughly moved and agitated during cultivation to increase the protein levels.

5. ENVIRONMENTALLY PURE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWING CONDITIONS
Lifestream Chlorella is fed with mineral-rich water from coral reef mountains on world-renowned pristine sub-tropical coral reef islands. This is a pure, unspoiled and clean environment with very high natural sun levels. Lifestream Chlorella is the highest quality strain of Chlorella available.

Lifestream Chlorella can be taken on an ongoing basis to help maintain a cleansed and rejuvenated internal system.
Because it is a blood tonic and not a high fibre product, the effect on the bowel when doing a cleanse using Lifestream Chlorella is generally more subtle.

Some people can initially experience changes in bowel motions, headaches, spots, tiredness and generally feel unwell during the early stages of a cleanse. These are all signs that your body is responding to the cleansing and detoxification process by elimination. They should subside and, in time, be replaced with a feeling of lightness, increased energy and enhanced well being. In the very rare case of vomiting or nausea or if intestinal pain or constipation continues,
then discontinue use and healthcare advice should be sought immediately.

E3AFA™ — is the world's most nutritional, highest quality crystal-flake form of AFA (Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae, Latin for "invisible flower of the water) a wild, freshwater blue-green algae, organic aqua-botanical considered by world-renown health authorities to be nature's most versatile superfood.

E3AFA™ is great for traveling and camping as it is dried crystal flake powder.

E3AFA™ also provides a full spectrum of 64 easily absorbed vitamins, minerals and enzymes. E3AFA™ has more biologically active chlorophyll than any known food and is a reliable vegetarian source of human-active Vitamin B-12. E3AFA™ is an "adaptogen", restoring overall body/mind balance in numerous ways, its fields of action including the immune, endocrine, nervous, gastro-intestinal and cardio-vascular systems.

Complete Protein

Protein is a central part of the body's energy; it provides for the replication and repair of cells, organs, and organ systems. Protein comprises a major portion of the blood and lymph, and creates a natural immunity by giving the body a means of recognizing invading foreign cells and viruses.

Most foods contain lipo-proteins that the body must convert to glyco-proteins before they can be used. E3AFA™ contain both glyco-proteins and carbohydrates, so the body has access to these nutrients without using the body's own digestive energy reserves to convert them first. This is why small amounts can have such tremendous effects.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the "building blocks" of the entire body. Eight of the amino acids are considered "essential" because they cannot be produced inside the body; they must be assimilated from the food we eat. Two are considered semi-essential because they are necessary for proper growth in children. The other 12 amino acids are produced within the body. Proper quantities of all 22 amino acids (a low amount will limit the assimilation of the higher amounts) are required to maintain health in the body, aiding in the construction of new tissue, enzymes and hormones.

An almost perfect correspondence between E3AFA™'s amino acid profile and the needs of the body. Food and Nutrition Council

Essential Amino Acids

Isoleucine  29 mg
Leucine  52 mg
Lysine  35 mg

E3AFA™ is the perfect anabolic green food (anabolism refers to all biochemical reactions that involve the building of larger molecules to construct and repair cells). Six times richer in protein (laden with human like branched chain amino acids), and minerals than mother's milk, its minerals come in a form easily absorbed by the body.

Nucleic Acids

E3AFA™ contains about 3% nucleic acids, the richest of any commercially available food. Nucleic acids are responsible for growth and repair, unscheduled regeneration; and can prevent, stop, and reverse many aspects of ageing; enhance immunity, neutralize radiation poisoning, stimulate the return of memory, reverse organic brain disorders and genetic damage; and act as stress modulators.(Blue Green Algae and the Factors of Regeneration, Apsley, 1995).

Chlorophyll, Vitamin B-12 & Hemoglobin

Possibly the most fundamental correspondence between algae and human life is the relationship between chlorophyll, vitamin B-12 and hemoglobin. All three molecules exhibit a twelve around one geometry; chlorophyll around magnesium, hemoglobin around iron, and vitamin B-12 around cobalt. This relationship is mirrored in life by many natural and esoteric phenomena exhibiting the same geometry. When we eat algae, we are coming as close to eating light (energy) as currently possible for humankind.

Chlorophyll's virtues are in part due to its central magnesium atom. This rare mineral plays an important part in 325 different enzyme systems and helps control almost every one of our vital processes. Bruner, E.H., Effects of Oral Magnesium on Pulmonary. 1985

AFA has one of the highest percentages (2-3%) of chlorophyll of any food on the planet. When magnesium is delivered to the body chelated to chlorophyll it is especially easy to assimilate. Chlorophyll invigorates the intestinal lining, increases peristaltic motion, soothes inflammation, reduces excess pepsin and relives constipation.

 Nourishes The Body at the Cellular Level

A wonderful and unique blend for peak performance of body, mind, and spirit that should be included in any detoxification and rejuvenation program. I take it myself daily.

I've had people who have been depressed for years and years, and literally, within a few days after receiving E3 BrainON®, their depression lifts. This is because E3Live® gets to the root of helping heal the addictive brain chemistry that underlies a lot of depression."

Nourishes The Body and Mind on Multiple Metabolic Pathways

"As a clinical nutritionist with over 40 years experience, I'm impressed and delighted at how E3Live® helps such a wide range of health problems.

I can only conclude that E3Live® has the therapeutic versatility of a true adaptogen, nourishing the body and mind on multiple metabolic pathways at the deepest of physiological levels. E3Live®'s energetic boost is therefore wholesome and lasting, unlike the temporary ups and downs of unhealthy stimulants such as sugar and caffeine."

An incredible boost in our mental clarity

"We have had excellent results with E3Live® in our disease reversal program, specifically with cardiac disease, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Within a few days of starting to drink E3Live®, my staff and I noticed a leap in our stamina during our workouts, an incredible boost in our mental clarity and ability to stay focused, and a decrease in our appetite. Our patients have commented that they are losing cravings for "the bad foods" as they continue to drink E3Live®. We are amazed and overjoyed at the tremendous results we see with regular use of this live super food."

A Live Food With a Rich Nutrient Profile

"I have been using and recommending E3Live® for approximately six months. With outstanding results. There are very few supplements on the market I would unconditionally endorse — E3Live® is the exception.

Besides E3Live®'s rich nutrient profile, this is a live food — full of the vital enzymes missing in much of what we consume each day. People today are in a hurry — there often just isn't the time or opportunity to eat raw, enzyme rich foods. Daily E3Live® ensures those essential, living enzymes are in your diet every day. E3Live® claims to be 97% assimilated (used) by the body. From my personal experience in trailing E3Live®, this is certainly the case. For clients with weak digestive systems or those under stress (which effectively shuts down much of the digestive process) E3Live® is ideal because it takes so little digestive power to absorb it.

If you keep in mind that we are only as good as the nutrients we can absorb — whether from food or supplements — E3Live® is brilliant!"

Unique Nutritional Product

"I don't usually endorse products but I've found the response I've had to E3Live®, in just a few weeks, has been noticeable and positive. I think it's a unique nutritional product which has great potential to help those with symptoms due to toxicity/impaired detox capacity, malabsorption, and sluggish metabolism.

Having had a medical condition with symptoms like severe tiredness and a drained feeling for many years along with severe immune/endocrine problems, and currently being only partly functional, I've tried just about every treatment and product on the market. I noticed a difference within a week of taking E3Live®, primarily a slight boost in energy and greater mental clarity. My cognitive processes are consistently better, mood and concentration especially, and best of all, my 'down time' to recover from activity is far less than before. I can only attribute the benefits to E3Live® as nothing else has changed in my regime.

Being that AFA is an edible water plant, I was at first skeptical that it might have absorbed toxic metals into the cell wall, primarily mercury, from the surrounding water and air. However, I've seen independent lab reports stating that the product is free of toxic metals and chemicals. Therefore, this leaves it free to absorb YOUR toxins, and in a similar manner to chlorella algae, it may assist in removing them from the body.

As well as assisting with detox, being so comprehensive in its makeup, I believe it's an all-in-one daily supplement, which can replace a number of others. If you're going to try this product and your health has been seriously compromised, you should begin slowly and build up gradually. Also very important is to drink plenty of clean water each day to support the body's detox systems and elimination pathways.

For those with seriously impaired detox capacity you should consult your health care practitioner who can answer specific questions for you."

Vital Life Force for Body

"I wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with your E3Live®. I am a chiropractor and have been recommending greening/alkalizing products to my patients for many years and find your liquid AFA superior to others I've used.

Earlier this year I recommended E3Live® to a patient who was undergoing a very depleting treatment for a serious medical condition. Almost immediately she began feeling more energy, less depression and experienced a noticeable reduction in adverse side-effects of the treatment. Her medical doctors noticed and commented on her increase in energy and on how quickly her hair grew back after her treatment regime. Other medical treatments followed, which was five days a week for over seven weeks, and she played tennis during that time.

I prefer E3Live® because it is a whole food product and, in the liquid form, it has more vital life force for the body to use for repair and healing."

"Since I began eating E3Live®, I've noticed an unmistakable boost in my energy. I have more stamina, I can swim faster for longer periods. My times have improved. I can now workout more intensely. Recovery time is dramatically shorter.

Bottom line — E3Live® makes a big difference in my performance."

I'm Really Stoked with E3Live!

"In the surfing world, being the Triple Crown Champion is like winning the World Series. I'm always looking for that competitive edge and for ways to improve my performance.

I'm confident that I've found it with E3Live®, which was put to the test when I was going man to man with the current world's champ at the Rip Curl World Cup. I had just gotten wiped out by a wave and my time was running out. It took supreme stamina and mental focus to paddle back to catch the last wave that put me over the top. I'm absolutely confident that E3Live® made the difference.

My first chance to test E3Live® was the XCEL PRO competition. I used E3Live® in my blended fruit smoothie in the morning and then made a second batch that I drank throughout the rest of the day. Mentally, E3Live® helped me to stay clear-minded and focused all day. Physically, I usually feel somewhat fatigued after a twenty minute heat of non-stop paddling, but with the help of E3Live®, I felt fine and eager for my next heat. In all, I surfed five heats that day and took first place in my first four heats and finished third overall out of 160 world-class competitors.

So, as we say in Hawaii, I'm "really stoked" with E3Live®! Not only am I glad I finally found E3Live® to boost my surfing performance, it also contributes to my overall health and well-being.""

Recover Faster, Less Fatigue

"After taking E3Live®, I have experienced an incredible increase in my endurance. I feel like I can keep going. I have increased my times, my recovery is much, much faster, and I don't feel fatigued at the end of my workouts, I feel energized. This food is absolutely fantastic — and VERY powerful! The results we are seeing are phenomenal."

I Feel 15 Years-Old Again

"Professional surfing is an incredibly demanding sport, both physically and mentally. The level of competition out on the waves gets more intense all the time. The super-nutrition of E3Live® has given me an amazing increase in energy and endurance. E3Live® has definitely brought me to a higher level of performance. E3Live® has improved my overall physical and mental health.

E3Live® has absolutely done wonders in my life. When I compete in international events, I now have the strength to paddle as hard as I can, which raises my level of performance. I've experienced a tremendous increase in my mental quickness since I added E3 to my training regimen. I feel 15 years-old again."

Nothing I've Ever Had Before Compares to E3Live

"E3Live® is the product every athlete dreams of. After only two weeks in training, I was seeing time-improvements that would normally take me two months to achieve. Nothing I've ever had before compares to E3Live®. I've never loved life so much. I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to learn of such an amazing food."

Much Quicker Recovery

"E3Live® is like gold. As a champion bodybuilder, mother of four, and fitness trainer, I feel so lucky to have found E3Live® — the best food source I've ever consumed. With E3Live®, I feel invincible, fully alive, and my recovery time after intense workouts is now much quicker."

I Literally Have Another Youth to Live

"At 57, I'm the oldest competitor to have ever won a U.S. National Tae Kwon Do championship and a Gold Medal in full-contact sparring at an international championship. Some people might think I have a rare genetic make-up that would allow me to do what I do. Yet when I started Tae Kwon Do at the age of 46, I weighed 25 pounds more, couldn't run a block without stopping, and was experiencing the dreaded decline of aging. Instead of my being some extraordinary exception to the rule, I now know that that superior health is available to everyone!

E3Live® not only delivers more protein needed for muscle growth and repair and is a rich source of phyto-nutrients, it also makes a huge impact on my emotional and mental well-being. At 57, I also experience no symptoms associated with menopause. I literally have another youth to live. Two additional benefits of E3Live® have been in increased memory and keeping my mood positive.

E3Live® is a breakthrough for the modern human being, something that can strengthen us in the face of today's environmental, emotional and physical stress. E3Live® is an important member of my 'team'."

Amazed by Recuperation Time

"(Steve just had a great article in Chill Magazine called "Behind the Glory", where he said that he drinks a bottle of E3Live® everyday as part of his training - hear more from Steve about E3Live® in his own words below...)

As a fighter, sometimes I need to lose weight before fights, even up to 20 pounds. E3Live® gives me the nutrition that I need and cuts my appetite. With E3Live®, I don't feel weak or tired. I feel good first thing in the morning and the day does not have highs and lows in energy that I used to feel. Life can be stressful, in and out of the ring, but with E3Live®, I feel happier, more energized and in better spirits. Since I started E3Live®, I am amazed by my recuperation time between rounds. In one minute, I am ready. Focus is crucial to any athlete, professional or recreational. E3Live® gives me focus like never before. I'm glad to have E3Live® on MY winning team!"

With Great Recovery and More Energy, E3Live Has Given Me the Edge

"Ever since I started using E3Live® products this summer, I haven't felt better in my career. I have more energy and my endurance and recovery has been great. With the season being so demanding I feel that E3Live® has given me the edge every night to compete with the best players in the world."

Keeps Me Going On Days of Long and Strenuous Physical Activity

"For me drinking E3Live® is like consuming pure Light Energy. It is very simple and potent and I feel its effects very quickly. I have been practicing Bikram's Hot Yoga for 14 years, so on a daily basis I am sweating profusely. In 2003 I began to enter Yoga Asana Championships, and in 2005 I won the International Bishnu Charan Ghosh Cup. While preparing for these yoga championships I will practice yoga asanas for 5 hours or more each day. On these days, my food intake is limited because having food in my system holds me back in my asana practice. I have found that E3Live® is a food that keeps me going on days of long and strenuous physical activity. It helps me maintain high energy levels and also helps with fast recovery time. I recommend it to everyone who practices yoga."

Wards Off Fatique During Training

"I use E3Live® right before my early morning 15k runs to get my energy up. Its helped tremendously with my energy levels and warding off fatigue with my training sessions. It also keeps me in check for the day, reminding me to eat clean and stay focused."

Revved With Energy for Grueling Workouts

"I have discovered an amazing organic whole food supplement that is unlike any product or supplement that I have used in my life. I first used E3Live® in 2004 while I was getting ready for one of my competitions and tried a sample at a health show called the CHFA in Vancouver, BC.

I was immediately energized for the day and my body's digestive and endocrine systems went into high gear. I started to feel less acidic and bloated and felt like my body could eliminate wastes properly while keeping me revved with energy all day for my grueling 3 hour workouts per day on top of my 8 hour work schedule.

My mental clarity and focus increased immediately and my sleep improved meaning that my body had to be dealing with stress via my adrenal glands more rapidly and this product was supporting them.

This frozen algae makes me feel better overall everyday that I use the supplement. I have used the product religiously since 2004 and it has helped me not only maintain my shape but get bigger and leaner while allowing me to also have more energy to play my other sports like hockey and snowboarding.

E3Live® is an organic whole Superfood from nature, untouched by the chemicals of mankind that are used in the processing of most supplements on the market. This product is unprocessed and as pure to its natural form as you could get it.

I believe that all body types and people from all walks of life could benefit from this product. Whether you are a serious competitive athlete or someone who wants to create health and wellness and increase their energy everyday. Try it for yourself and you will feel the results immediately!"

Noticed a Difference from the First Day

"Playing professional golf is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. Whether I'm training in the gym or on the course, E3Live® gives me the constant energy and focus needed to train throughout the day. Sometimes I find myself on the road for 3-6 weeks at a time. My diet has always been a priority to be functioning at my highest levels. It is sometimes difficult to eat exactly what you want when you're on the road and that's when E3Live® can compensate and help my body recover more easily. From the first day of taking E3Live® I noticed a difference and I can't imagine my life without it."

Triple Jump Champ Uses E3Live for Elite Training

"I have been a national athlete for the last 15 years. As a personal trainer E3Live® has allowed me to motivate myself and my clients to achieve their performance goals. As an athlete, E3Live® fills in the blanks for me — I noticed better eyesight, mental sharpness and physical recovery. It allowed me to maintain a more intense, higher peak of training for a longer time, not just within a session, but for weeks on end. I notice that I no longer have energy lows, mentally or physically, and my recovery time after training sessions has decreased dramatically. With E3Live®, I can continue my training at an elite level. We all make resolutions about starting a healthy lifestyle, but the drive to do this can fade. E3Live® will help you succeed where others have failed."

Allows Me to Operate at My Highest Potential

"I have competed nationally as a amateur boxer and have been ranked as high as #2 in the US. I am now an undefeated professional fighter. E3Live® has been on the journey with me for the past 5 years. Training twice a day, 2 to 3 hour sessions, the body takes a great deal of physical strain and mental stress. E3Live® has increased my energy, stamina, and focus to push through the most challenging of sessions. In the ring I am fast, alert, and reactive. When speaking with someone about what I do, I tell them boxing is my first discipline and nutrition is my second. When it comes to nutrition E3Live® is at the top of my list. E3Live® has allowed me to operate at my highest potential!"

Energy, Focus, Stamina and Recovery Time Improved

"As a professional MMA Fighter, my body takes a pounding both physically and mentally. My energy, focus, stamina, and recovery time has increased significantly since eating E3Live®.

I can literally feel the E3Live® exonerate toxins, attack deficiencies, and aid with inflammation that transpire in my joints from scrupulous training sessions.

I have never felt healthier or more certain in myself since becoming a pro fighter, and I owe it to E3Live®."

E3Live Has Truly Helped Me Surpass My Competition.

"One of the best things I ever heard in reference to E3Live was... "I never knew I didn't have mental clarity was until I actual had it.". That 100% applies to my love and affinity for E3Live. As a professional fighter mental clarity means everything when it comes to training i.e. reflexes, timing, motivation, endurance, as well as aiding the overall enjoyment of training hard and competing. E3Live has given me such a massive boost in my athletic endeavours as well as my day to day life. It helps me train harder, faster, longer, and most importantly more intelligently. My recovery time has nearly doubled thanks to the nutritional benefits E3Live provides me with. E3Live has truly helped me surpass my competition. As a raw and vegan athlete I couldn't imagine going a day or training session without E3. I truly believe E3 can help any man, woman, or child on this earth feel and look better!"

Amazing Physical and Mental Strength With E3Live

"I have been drinking E3Live for over 10 years and it is the foundation of my diet. I know that it is called a supplement, but I tell my students that I consider it to be a "primary" and that everything else that we eat in our lives is the supplement.
The strength that I feel from E3 is not just physical, although the physical strength that it delivers is formidable. It is wild strength, like wild animals. You ever think how much stronger wild animals are then humans? This gives us access to the wild power factor which becomes ours - within days of beginning the E3Live I felt like I was a different person. I actually wondered who was this strong person? I did a hand-stand against the wall but for the first time ever I did not really need the wall! I was like a different person!

It is also the mental strength and ability to concentrate that I notice to be exceptional in my life. I can work for hours on end without tiring.
It is also the spiritual connection and realizations that I feel to be truly the gift of E3. It is scientific fact that when the brain gets the minerals it needs, it can transmit and receive the cosmic radio signals effectively. In my experience simply I feel connected to everything always and I know that the power of E3Live is at the foundation of my radiance."

I feel fully ALIVE for my yoga practice

"My body is truly thankful every time I have a shot of E3Live® with BrainON®; this wild green magical potion feeds into every cell and layer of being; it gives me clarity.

Sharp vision and an energetic boost where I feel fully ALIVE for my yoga practice, and continues throughout my entire day. I'd highly recommend for anyone wanting to replenish and positively feed their body with 'living' supplements to use BrainON, as this "future of superfood" provides all of the nutrition your body needs in just a single one ounce shot."

Pro Snow Boarder Keeps Going With E3Live

"When I’m on the grind for a video part we spend a lot of the year hitting street handrails in cities across the US like SLC, Minnesota and Vermont. The conditions are usually brutal with negative temperatures, and our late night sessions go well into the early morning hours. Sometimes we film for 12 straight hours, catch a couple hours sleep and then get right back at it for days, sometimes weeks straight. It’s hard to keep up your energy and even harder to keep hucking yourself down huge handrails where the consequences are doubled by the hard cement below you. Taking E3Live helps to keep me properly nourished. For endurance I add in some Blue Majik, and the Renew Me helps get rid of my muscle pain, fatigue and the beats from hitting the streets."

Yoga Teacher Experiences Great Energy Levels

"As a full time yoga teacher I always make the first thing in my day a shot of E3Live and/or BrainOn. This product has not only changed my body to happier state but it has helped my yoga practice, it gives me the energy to not only do my own practice first thing in the morning but to also teach afterwards.

E3Live has made a huge difference in my energy levels, allowing me to feel strong and positive for my entire day where as before I was always feeling sluggish near the afternoon.

Now as my partner Trevor Nugent-Smith and I launch our newest yoga program called "Sacred Fusion" I rely on my E3Live and BrainON to keep me going!

Incredible product with incredible results!"

Loving Earth Organic Goji Berries are certified organic Goji Berries. They are grown in a pristine, certified organic part of the Ningxia autonomous region, located between Tibet and Inner Mongolia. The goji berry is sacred to the people of this remote autonomous region and they hold a special festival every year to honor and celebrate the life giving qualities of this extraordinary berry.

Are you wondering how a tiny red berry can have such a positive effect on your health?

    * To start, the goji berry is higher in antioxidants than any other known food.
    * The goji berry contains 18 amino acids – the building blocks for protein.
    * The goji berry contains over 12 times more protein than apples, oranges, or strawberries.
    * The goji berry is a better source of beta-carotene than carrots themselves.
    * 21 trace minerals, including Germanium
    * 6 essential fatty acids including Linoleic acid, which significantly promotes body fat loss
    * Vitamins B1, B2, B6, E
    * 500 times more Vitamin C than oranges
    * 4 Unique Polysaccharides (Master Molecules) found in no other food source
    * 15 times more nutritional iron than spinach
    *  Beta Sitosterol: An anti-inflammatory agent found to lower cholesterol, and used to treat sexual impotence and prostrate enlargement.
    *  Zeaxanthin and Lutine: Valued for their role in protecting the eyes.
    *  Betaine: Used by the liver to produce Choline which assists detoxification reactions in the liver. Betaine is known to protect DNA, enhance
       memory, promote muscle growth and protects us from fatty liver disease.
    *  Cyperone: A sesquiterpene used in treatment of cervical cancer. It is also known to benefit heart and blood pressure problems as well as
        menstruation problems.
    *  Solavetivone: A powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent.
    *  Physalin: A natural compound that boosts the immune system. Found to be effective in treating leukaemia, hepatitis B and cancer.

Goji Berry Antioxidants 
  
Free radicals damage cells and DNA, increase the cancer risk, and accelerate the aging rocess. The more antioxidants, the more effective the neutralizing capacity is in slowing down the aging process. If free radicals go unchecked, they can even attack and damage DNA, possibly causing deformation and mutation of the blueprinted cells.
  
Immunity Enhancer

Due to aging, the body's immune system often becomes dysfunctional, where in immune cells can have difficulty recognizing the difference between the body's cells and foreign cells. This can lead to auto-immune problems. The polysaccharides found in Goji berries have been known to inhibit three kinds of inflammation. These polysaccharides were also found to stimulate the interleukin-2 and gamma interferon, which are anti-inflammatory and induce immune responses.
  
ORAC Test

The ORAC Test is a standardized test adopted by the US. Department of Agriculture to measure the Total Antioxidant Potency of foods and nutritional supplements. The antioxidant capacity of the blood seems to be tightly regulated.  A significant increase in antioxidants of 15 to 20 percent is possible by increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in ORAC value.  Dr. Cao and Dr. Prior of the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University have established a recommended 5,000 ORAC Units Daily to have a significant impact on plasma and tissue antioxidant capacity and for helping prevent certain age related diseases.

Dried Goji berries and Human Growth Hormone  

Goji berries are known to have a unique polysaccharide that stimulates the pituitary gland in the anterior of the brain to produce more Human Growth Hormone, the master hormone in our bodies. HGH is know to slow down, and even reverse some of the effects of aging. For centuries, people in Asia that have customarily eaten Goji berries have been documented to live longer and healthier lives with little or no incidence of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimers disease, fibromyalgia, lupus, multiple scirosis, or a host of other "dread" diseases that are afflicting many of the Industrialized Nations of the world.

Professor Li Qing Yuen is documented as being the oldest person to have ever lived in recorded history. Born in 1678 and living to 1930, he was documented by the Government of China as having lived to 252 years of age. Twice he received Longevity Awards from the Government. It is said he ate Goji berries on a regular daily basis.

More Benefits

Goji berries have been traditionally regarded as a longevity, strength-building, and sexual potency food of the highest order.  The goji berry was celebrated as early as the first century A.D. by Shen Nong Ben Cao in the Divine Farmer's Handbook of Natural Medicine (one of the most important texts in the history of Chinese medicine).

 "Lycium [the goji berry] tonifies jing [vital energy] and qi [breath] and strengthens the yin tao [capacity for physical exercise]."

  - Tao Hong Jing, Commentary on the Divine Farmer's Handbook of Natural Medicine

Recently, in several study groups with elderly people, goji berries were given once a day for 3 weeks.  Many beneficial results were experienced and 67% of the patients T cell transformation functions tripled and the activity of the patients white cell interleukin-2 doubled. In addition, the results showed that all the patients spirit and optimism increased significantly, appetite improved in 95% of the patients, 95% of the patients slept better, and 35% of the patients partially recovered their sexual function.

Production

The plants grow like bushes with vines that reach over 15 feet. The berries are never touched by hand as they will oxidize and turn black if touched while fresh. They are shaken onto mats, and then dried in the shade. These berries are grown without pesticides or other chemicals in one of the purest places on earth.

Gubinge is the Nyul Nyul language name for the Kimberley version of the Kakadu Plum which is also called the Billygoat Plum or Murunga.  The fruit has been a traditional source of bush tucker, antiseptic and a healing remedy for the Indigenous people across Arnhem Land for thousands of years. Today the trees are still in great abundance and come to fruit usually at the start of the dry season in May each year.

Gubinge has been identified as the natural source food with the highest vitamin C content on the planet containing 3g of vitamin C per 100g of fruit - over 50 times the concentration found in oranges. Our dried Gubinge has a minimum of 13% Vitamin C.

Gubinge contains phytochemicals such as gallic and ellagic acids. Gallic acid has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activities and also shows anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, anti-mutagenic and anti- bronchodilatory activities. Ellagic acid has anti-carcinogenic effects against a wide range of carcinogens.

Our Gubinge is wildharvested from the Dampier Peninsula just north of Broome. Bruno Dann (Winnawal) is bringing back to his community the ancestral traditional ways of taking care of the land and the Gubinge trees, which is helping restore the amazing bush in this region.  Loving Earth has processed the fresh fruit simply by dehydrating it at 40ºC for 16 hours and then milling it into a powder.  All the profits that we receive from the sale of this product will be sent back to the Nyul Nyul community in the Kimberleys.

It has the additional benefit of being non-irritating to sensitive stomachs and bladders.  Add to water, juices, smoothies, cereals, desserts, bars, and yoghurt.

When hemp was being classified by the New Zealand Food Safety Association, scientists testified that having hemp in people's diets would improve longevity, reduce the incidence of conditions like diabetes and heart disease, and would generally improve health, but the politicians didn't want a bar of it because they have a 'War on Drugs' to fight and they only wanted bad things to be associated with the cannabis plant (hemp is the non-drug variety of cannabis).  The politicians won out mostly!

* The only hemp seed product that we can sell for human consumption in New Zealand is hemp seed oil. 

* Uncrushed hemp seed is not allowed to sold at all either for humans or animals in New Zealand. (In the USA & many other countries sale of all hemp products as human food is legal). 

* However it is legal to sell crushed hemp seeds &  hemp seed meal to you to feed your animals!

This means we can sell crushed hemp seeds and hemp seed meal for animal feed only, even if it is made to human food-grade standard and would be perfectly safe (beneficial even) for you to eat. This regulation only effects the point of sale - it is legal for you to consume crushed hemp seeds & hemp seed meal. 

Our hemp products are grown without chemicals on the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand.

About Hemp

Hemp has been called the perfect plant.  Hemp seed oil contains what is considered to be an ideal ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids- 3:1, perfectly matching the needs of the human body. In addition to the EFAs hemp seed provides, it is also one of the richest sources of amino acids. Along with the EFAs, these two components are responsible for keratin formation, the primary protein that gives your hair structural integrity.

Hemp is quite simply, nature's health and beauty secret - and the secret is in the seed. Hemp seed oil and extract offer many benefits useful in personal care products. The reason hemp is so effective is largely because of the essential fatty acids (EFAs) it contains. More than 75% of the EFAs in hemp seed oil are poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), known for their excellent emollient and lubricating properties.

Facts on hemp

The hulled hempseed does not contain any Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). (THC is normally stored in the fleshy parts of the plant, especially the leaves. None is contained in the seeds, flowers, or roots of the plant.)

Hemp seed can be processed, much like soy, into many nutritious foods and cosmetic ingredients. Hemp seed is far more nutritious than even soybean oil and though it contains less total protein, it is far more digestible to humans.

Hemp seed contains, on average: 25% protein, 30% carbohydrates, 15% insoluble fibre, 30% oil, the nutrients carotene, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron, zinc, and the vitamins E, C, B1, B2, B3, and B6. Hemp seed also is one of the few seeds to contain Omega-6 and Omega-3 Linoleic acid, commonly found in fish and useful to the immune system.

Hemp oil has been found to be a highly nutritious, essential hair and skin aid for protection, growth and anti-aging.

Hemp has excellent healing and moisturizing properties.

Because of its EFA profile, hemp seed oil instantly counteracts the effects of degreasing and dehydration, conditions that produce dry skin and hair.

In addition to improving the structural quality of the hair, hemp seed oil's high lipid content helps increase elasticity, volume, Combability and shine.

Hemp is used as fibre for rope, twine, tough cloth, and paper as well as other products where wood pulp is currently used.

Hemp could help preserve natural resources. For instance, hemp used for paper would replenish itself in 90 days instead of the 20-40 years required to grow trees.

An acre of hemp can produce 4 times the amount of paper that an acre of trees can produce.

Hemp requires no herbicides or pesticides for cultivation and refertilisers soil naturally making the ground useful for future crops.

History of hemp

Hemp has been in continual use by human civilization for at least 10,000 years.  The first written record of cannabis was supposedly penned by one of the early Chinese emperors around 2700 B.C.  Islamic/Arabic empires created Europe's first paper mill utilizing hemp in about 1150 A.D.  In 1563 A.D., as part of the economic and military build-up of the time (80 years war), Queen Elizabeth I orders all land owners with 60 acres or more to grow Cannabis or face a £5 fine.

For centuries the fibre of the hemp plant has been used for rope, sails and other textiles.  Early drafts of The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution were written on hemp paper.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both farmed hemp crops – the colonists were legally bound to grow hemp as one of their crops and could use hemp to pay their taxes. During times of shortage, farmers were sent to jail for not growing hemp.

In 1941 Popular Mechanics introduced Henry Ford's new plastic car, manufactured from and fuelled by hemp (an early bio diesel variant). Hoping to break the petroleum industries' monopoly of control on his company, Ford illegally grew hemp for over a year.

The 1942 Japanese invasion of the Philippines cut off the US supply of Manila hemp, among other vital resources. The US government distributed over 400,000 pounds of hempseed to farmers in order to limit the supply gap as much as possible, subsidizing hemp cultivation during WWII. American farmers grew about a million acres as part of that program.

In New Zealand hemp businesses began to appear, in more recent times, during the early to mid 1990s. Hemp product availability has continued to grow ever since.

By 2004, a few U.S. states had again legalised production of industrial hemp and this continues to grow.  In 2005, for the first time a New Zealand hemp seed oil was available in health stores and outlets. Last year, a successful venture by two Canterbury businesses culminated, in March of 2006 with the first harvest of Hemp on a commercial scale in New Zealand. The crop was grown spray free and required very little irrigation.

Hemp seed oil is considered to be the most nutritional of all oils available. It has a plethora of medicinal, nutritional, and cosmetic uses, making it a wonderful multi-purpose ingredient. It has been used for many years medicinally, and was even used during Ming Dynasty by the Chinese under the name of Ma Zi.

Hemp seed oil provides the body with complete protein, nutrition, and with all the essential amino acids necessary for health and wellness.

Medicinal and cosmetic use

Hemp seed oil is a highly nutritious food, and contains antioxidants, protein, carotene, phytosterols, phospholipids, as well as a number of minerals including calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus. It is a source of complete protein and contains all 20 known amino acids, including the nine essential amino acids. It also contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, D, and E. The green color in hemp seed oil is a result of the high level of chlorophyll which is naturally present in the seeds.

Perhaps the most valued property of hemp seed oil is its percentage of essential fatty acids, which is higher than any other plant in the world. It contains both Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids, in a proportion of 3:1. This proportion is the recommended balance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 acids, making it a simple perfect way to complete your diet.

Essential fatty acids are necessary for our health, and are responsible for the lustre in our skin, hair, eyes, transferring oxygen to every cell in our body, and even the clarity in our thought processes. They also lubricate and clear the arteries, strengthen the immune system, and help prevent viruses and other threats to our immune system. Essential fatty acids are not produced by the human body. Instead, they must be obtained from food sources

Specifically, hemp seed oil has been shown to assist with the following medical conditions:
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Acne
• Osteoporosis
• Menopause
• Cancer
• Multiple sclerosis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Premenstrual symptoms
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Weight loss
• Poor circulation
• Crohn's disease
• Cardiovascular disease
• Gall stones
• Kidney degeneration
• Dry skin
• Immune deficiency
• Irregular hormone levels
• HIV virus
• Tuberculosis
• Low energy levels
• Low metabolism
• Dry skin and hair conditions

In cosmetic and body-care products, hemp seed oil is anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing, balances dry skin, fights skin inflammations, helps heal skin lesions, has antioxidants, and contains moisture balancing properties. The oil is non-greasy, readily absorbs into the pores, is an emollient, and has rejuvenating and moisturising properties for the skin. Adult users of hemp seed oil have reported softer skin, and stronger nails and hair after only a few weeks of using 1-2 tablespoons per day. The vitamins and minerals present in hemp- seed oil are easily absorbed through the skin, resulting in a more vitamin and mineral-enriched body-care product.

Usage instructions

The pleasantly nutty taste of hemp seed oil makes it easy to incorporate into your culinary recipes. In one tablespoon, you will receive 2.5 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids, 8 grams of Omega-6 fatty acids, and 2 grams of Omega-9 fatty acids - a perfect balance. No other single source oil has this ideal combination of essential fatty acids. Hemp seed oil is easily digestible in its raw state. It contains less than 10% saturated fats, and 70-80% polyunsaturated fatty acids, the highest of any vegetable oil . This is an unusually high level of the good oils, making this oil beneficial for culinary use. In culinary use, the oil will not clog arteries, as do saturated and trans fatty acids or shortenings.

This oil should not be fried, and should preferably be used cold. It may easily be added to salad dressings, pasta, vegetables, smoothies, soups, sauces, hummus, guacamole, pesto, or other foods after the heating/baking has been completed. If you must heat the oil, it may be gently heated for a short period of time.

Unlike flaxseed oil, hempseed oil can be used continuously without developing a deficiency or other imbalance of EFAs. This has been demonstrated in a clinical study, where the daily ingestion of flaxseed oil decreased the endogenous production of GLA.

Hemp seed oil may be added to any body-care or cosmetic product, including creams, lotions, facial or body oils, massage oils, shampoo, conditioner, shaving products, lip balm, soap, and any other product. In hair care products, it  increases elasticity, manageability, and shine.

Recent Canadian research has shown this oil to possibly be effective as a broad-spectrum ultraviolet skin sunscreen.

Hempseed oil is a miracle of nature. Its unique properties offer fantastic nutritional, health and skin-care benefits...and good taste has never been so fabulous.

Rich, nutty and delicate in flavour, this oil contains the only naturally-occurring and perfectly balanced nutritional balance of Essential Fatty Acids, Omega 6 and Omega 3. Hempseed oil is just now coming on the market and supercedes all existing oils that have been used to obtain EFAs in the past (ie flax seed oil, evening primrose oil and borage oil) - what's more, it's the first delicious edible oil to accomplish this.

Hempseed oil is cold-pressed to ensure that key nutrients, enzymes and acids are not destroyed and health benefits are maximised.

A delicious full-flavoured salad, drizzling and dipping oil, hemega3™ hempseed oil is a fresh and very healthy alternative. hempseed oil is recommended as a base for salad dressings and pasta oils and it enhances the flavour of fish, seafood, meats and vegetables.

 The human body uses fatty acids from food for building tissues and for specialised functions such as the production of prostaglandins, localised tissue hormones. One major group of fatty acids is called essential fatty acids, which are polyunsaturated, and include two major groups, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They are called “essential” because the body cannot make them and thus, must obtain them from food sources.

Hemp seed oil is the only edible seed oil to contain over 80% polyunsaturated EFA's and boasts not only the optimum ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6, but also GLA and SDA.

What is the 'optimum Omega ratio' all about?

Research data suggests that the optimum ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 for the ultimate human health ranges from 3:1 to 5:1. The World Health Organisation (Sweden/Japan) recognises this optimum ratio to be 3:1. Studies in western populations today show that a typical diet has a ratio range of 10:1 to 20:1 - see illustration >

It is likely that excess refined foods, dairy and a lack of whole foods have contributed to this lack of balance, and in turn, our failing health. Through adjusting our diet to allow more natural intake of these EFA's, we can improve our cellular health and maximise long-term vitality.

What about GLA and SDA Essential Fatty Acids?

Incorporating GLA and SDA into our diets helps our bodies assimilate fatty acids (ie the omegas). The edibility of hemp seed oil is particularly beneficial as an alternative to other GLA rich sources (ie sunflower or evening primrose oil). Adding GLA to the diet seems to lower risks of heart attacks because omega-3 fatty acids reduce the clotting tendency of the blood and improve cholesterol profiles. They also have a natural anti-inflammatory effect, making GLA and SDA useful for people with arthritis and autoimmune disorders

Health Benefits of Hemp Seed Oil

Essential fatty acids perform a major role in the human body, and we must obtain them from food sources to derive the health benefits as listed below:

Hormonal Balance

Hemp is the only edible seed containing GLA and magnesium-rich chlorophyll, both which are beneficial in helping with PMS conditions including breast tenderness, bloating, cramping and other discomforts.

Cardiovascular Tonic

Omega-3 oils have been shown in hundreds of studies to lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels - they are also effective in decreasing blood pressure, platelet stickiness and fibrinogen levels. Numerous studies have shown that the substitution of polyunsaturated fats for saturated fats can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest and high blood cholosterol levels. Research has found that for every 1% increase in omega-3, there was a 5mm Hg decrease in systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure. These EFA's, especially GLA, have also been found beneficial in both treating and offering protection against various cancers.

Inflammation + Allergies

Omega-3 helps produce PG3 (prostaglandin 3 series), the anti-inflammatory chemicals that work as local hormones in the human body. Numerous studies show that EFAs have positive results in the treatment of many chronic diseases including eczema, itchy skin, acne, psoriasis, lupus and ulcerative colitis.

Arthritis

Key fatty acids found in hemp seed oil provide long-term support and maintenance of arthritic conditions, including rheumatoid athritis.

Metabolism + Nerve Function

The omega-3 fatty acids help nerve cells communicate with each other, which is an essential step in maintaining good mental health. EFAs have been shown to work with oxygen and enhance electron transport, key activities in energy output within the cell as well as enhance nerve cell insulation.

Skin Health

Hemp seed oil provides EFAs necessary for maintaining health and flexible skin cell membranes as well as exerting anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.

Immunity

EFAs enhance immune function, speed up the rate of immune reactions, help to re-establish population control over intestinal bacteria and improve cellular energy for removing waster materials.

Physical Performance

Omega-3 fatty acids help support the cardiovascular system during exercise and also reduce the negative effect of intense exercise on the immune system.

The hemp is grown organically & processed without chemicals & under 45 degrees Celsius. Organic certification will be applied for at some time in the future.
