Detailed Information

Sprouts: Bone and Brain Builder, Immune Booster. Whether alfalfa or sunflower, sprouts are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with a full range of vitamins including A, D, C, K, and B-complex, as well as minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, silicon, and molybdenum. Sprouts provide an abundant supply of chlorophyll, which helps to nourish the blood, repair cells and tissues, and remove toxins from the body. Sprouts are also vital for helping reduce stress damage to the body and for keeping the nervous and neurological systems strong and stable. Bone Health Sprouts contain all eight essential amino acids, which can help to increase bone strength and density. In fact, sprouts are a complete protein and are considered to be the most balanced of all the sources of essential amino acids. This form of protein is ideal for not only helping to bolster the skeletal system, but also the muscular and neurological systems. Brain Health and Immunity Sprouts are an essential brain food, good for helping to strengthen memory, focus, and concentration skills. The lecithin found in sprouts not only helps to significantly improve brain function, it also helps keep the liver and kidneys healthy, aids in vitamin absorption, and can bind fats and cholesterol to water so they can be removed from the body more easily. Sprouts are also a phenomenal source of saponins, which are known for their potent anti- inflammatory and immune boosting properties.
