Green Zinger™ Provides Nutritional Support for
Every Part of Your Body

Acerola Cherry (Malpighia punicifolia) The fruit of the Acerola Cherry tree, is nature’s richest source of natural Vitamin C. Acerola cherries also contain high levels of carotenoids which in combination with vitamin C provide an excellent source of powerful antioxidants. The nutrient profile is balanced by a rich array of proteins and mineral salts principally, iron, calcium and phosphorus.

Aloe Leaf Powder is derived from a succulent perennial plant belonging to the lily family, aloe vera is native to the warm dry areas of tropical Africa but cultivated elsewhere. Aloe Vera has natural healing and detoxifying powers and works gently within the intestinal tract to help break down impacted food residues and thoroughly cleanse the bowel. It can help ease constipation and prevent continuing diarrhea, setting regularity to the bowel.

Apple Pectin is a water soluble dietary fiber that studies show to be extremely important for maintaining a healthy digestive system. It helps maintain intestinal balance by cleansing the intestinal tract. Apple Pectin tends to increase acidity in the large intestines, and is advocated for those suffering from ulcer or colitis. Researchers in Japan have demonstrated that including apple pectin in the diet can improve our chances to avoid colon cancer.

Barley Grass Juice (Hordeum vulgare) is certified organic and exceptionally nutrient rich especially when barley leaves are harvested at 12-14 inches high. They contain a rich source of vitamins, minerals, proteins and chlorophyll all necessary for the components of a balanced diet. These are easily assimilated throughout the digestive tract, giving our bodies’ instant access to vital nutrients. Clearly the single most important reason for consumption of barley juice is its high level of chlorophyll and chlorophyllin. These green food substances play a critical role in cleansing the bowels and eliminating harmful toxins. More recent studies are currently being evaluated because of evidence from in vitro and animal studies suggesting that these substances have strong anti-carcinogenic activity.

Barley Malt is a thick, dark and slow digesting sweetener made from sprouted barely and contains a rich complement of enzymes for converting starch to simple sugars providing natural sustainable energy for the body.

Chlorella is a simple single cell fresh water algae plant that is considered a ‘near perfect’ food. Chlorella has a naturally occurring hard membrane protecting its nutrient rich inner core. Green Zinger™ uses original Japanese produced chlorella that employs their pioneered ‘cracked cell wall’ technology. The cracked cell wall production method allows our bodies to easily digest and assimilate the available super nutrients found in chlorella. These nutrients are naturally balanced and won’t accumulate in your body and will not become toxic like synthetic nutrients can. Because of its ability to chelate (bind to) heavy metals, chlorella can help eliminate heavy metals, toxic hydrocarbon compounds and other environmental pollutants. Chlorella contains nature’s highest concentrations of chlorophyll which is believed responsible for its cleansing action on the liver, bowels and blood.

Cinnamon Powder (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) is the inner bark of a tropical evergreen tree. Medicinal use of cinnamon bark was first recorded in Chinese formularies as early as 2700 B.C. The herb has been used as a healing aid for indigestion and to relieve flatulence and bloating. German health authorities (Commission E) have approved cinnamon bark for mild gastrointestinal spasms. Recent research shows evidence of cinnamon helping to normalize blood sugar levels.

Digestive Enzymes found in Green Zinger™ include bromelain, papain, protease, amylase lipase, cellulase and lactase. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down foods into nutrients that our body can then readily assimilate in the intestines. Each enzyme acts upon specific types of foods (i.e. fats, proteins, carbohydrates, etc.) to help digest those food compounds helping alleviate and reduce bloating, flatulence and indigestion. Our proprietary digestive enzyme complex will provide needed enzymes for daily dietary needs for regular meals and to improve assimilation of the concentrated foods found in Green Zinger™.

Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis) is a warm weather evergreen shrub in which tea is made from the leaves and consumed by people worldwide. The extract made from Green Tea leaves concentrates polyphenolic compounds that are powerful antioxidants. Laboratory studies have found that polyphenols help prevent blood clotting, lower cholesterol levels and even show evidence of fighting tumor growth similar to that of OPC, and when combined, work well together.

Lecithin is extracted from soybean oil for its phospholipids content which is an excellent source of the essential nutrient phosphatidylcholine which plays a key role in supplying sufficient choline to the brain, where it is used to manufacture the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It has been shown in numerous studies that choline aids in memory and cognitive function. Phosphatidylcholine is believed to speed the flow of fats and cholesterol through the liver, prevent the buildup of fats within the liver, and assist the liver in eliminating dangerous toxins from the body.

Milk Thistle or silymarin (Silybum marianum) is a plant native to Europe but is also grown in the Americas. Extract made from the seed contain flavanoid compounds proven effective in maintaining and protecting healthy liver function. Numerous studies indicate silymarin has a strong antioxidant capability and prevents toxins from penetrating cellular membranes in liver tissue. The cleansing effect helps stimulate regeneration and formation of new hepatocytes.

Oat Beta-Glucan is a soluble fiber that research has clearly shown to be a superior source for dietary fiber. Double blind control group studies have demonstrated that oat beta-glucan can significantly lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while improving glucose and insulin responses thus helping to control blood sugar levels. Beta-glucan has also been shown to activate white blood cells enhancing the body’s natural immune response system.

OPC GoldBlend® is a proprietary blend of extracts from Semillon grape seed and Maritime pine bark, containing 95% active OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins). This amazing blend of plant extracts has been shown to provide superior antioxidant (free radical scavenging) capacity. In over 100 studies, OPC has been proven to provide health benefits for a wide range of indications and is used as a cardiovascular medication in Europe since the 1950s. Studies show it improves blood flow systemically especially to the capillaries providing increased oxygen and nutrient delivery to all the cells of the body. This in turn provides greater energy capacity and improved recovery from injury. More recently its powerful antioxidant capacity has shown to be very effective in alleviating symptoms of oxidative stress.

Panax Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is a perennial herb native to Korea and China and has been used as an herbal remedy in eastern Asia for thousands of years. The main active components of Panax ginseng are ginsenosides, which have been shown to have a variety of beneficial effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. Results of clinical research studies demonstrate that Panax ginseng may improve psychological function, immune function, and conditions associated with diabetes.

Probiotics are live microorganisms also known as ‘friendly’ bacteria or intestinal flora that reside in the colon. These healthy bacteria provide several functions that maintain healthy digestive tracts. They keep harmful bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella from over populating our colons, thus causing many gastro intestinal problems. Unfortunately the healthy bacteria is under constant assault by medicines (like antibiotics), poor eating habits, stress etc. Long known to improve absorption of essential nutrients, new research indicates that probiotics play a strong role in boosting our body’s immune system. Our proprietary blend contains over 14 billion live and active microorganisms: L. acidophilus, B. longnum, L. casei and L. rhamnosus which are implanted and then grow into healthy colonies.

Proprietary Antioxidant Blend used in Green Zinger™ sets it apart from all other nutrient drinks. Only Green Zinger uses Primary Source® OPC GoldBlend® which is the world’s most powerful fully bioavailable antioxidant with clinically proven safe and effective health benefits. OPC GoldBlend® is a proprietary blend of OPC derived from Semillon grape seeds and Maritime pine bark. Boosting the antioxidant effect is polyphenol rich green tea extract. Completing our antioxidant blend is a rich array of Certified Organic fruit powders of blueberry, plum, cranberry, and raspberry rich in naturally occurring anthocyanins which play a major role in the high antioxidant activity levels observed in red and blue fruits.

Proprietary Vegetable Blend contained in Green Zinger™ is a proprietary blend of organic vegetable juice powders including carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, parsley, brussel sprout and kale. These are all picked at their peak freshness, juiced and freeze dried, capturing all the vital health-giving properties. The cruciferous vegetables contain sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol which is linked with reducing the risk of breast, prostrate, cervical, and other cancers. It can delay the onset of cancer and reduce the size and growth of tumors. Cruciferous vegetables also help reduce homocysteine levels, indicating its usefulness in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Quercetin is a water-soluble plant flavonoid compound, extracted from red grapes, citrus fruits and cherries. Studies show these compounds to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, provide anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory properties. New research shows that quercetin may help to prevent cancer, especially prostate cancer.

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring phytoalexin produced by plants as a defense against infection by pathogenic microorganisms, such as fungi. Resveratrol is found in significant amounts in the dried roots and stems of the plant Polygonium cuspidatum also known as the Japanese knotweed. Resveratrol has several activities that may account for its possible cardio-protective action including inhibition of the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation and inhibition of platelet aggregation.

Rice Bran is one of the richest natural sources of phytosterols, which has a similar chemical structure to that of cholesterol. Because of this close resemblance, phytosterols can actually block food-based cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream. The result is that phytosterols bond to dietary cholesterol and are excreted in waste matter, therefore reducing overall cholesterol.

Spirulina (Spirulina platensis ) is certified organic and grown in the USA. This blue-green algae can be found in most lakes and ponds and has been consumed for thousands of years by people worldwide. Our spirulina is grown in a controlled environment, producing a very pure and organic product. Spirulina is considered a complete protein consisting of more than half its weight in amino acids - the building blocks of protein. Spirulina’s most powerful health benefits lie in its ability to stimulate and maintain immune system activity. Recent research indicates it may have antiviral and anticancer effects. Test tube and animal studies suggest that spirulina may also help protect against harmful allergic reactions.

Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a perennial shrub that is indigenous to the northern regions of South America. For hundreds of years, indigenous peoples in Brazil and Paraguay have used the leaves of stevia as a sweetener. Although used mostly as a flavor enhancer in Green Zinger™, stevia has been used medicinally by traditional peoples as a cardiotonic, for obesity, hypertension, and heartburn, and to help lower uric acid levels. In a recent Brazilian double-blind, placebo-controlled study undertaken with 106 hypertensive men and women, researchers recorded that stevioside showed an ability to significantly lower systemic blood pressure.

Tumeric Extract (Curcuma longa) contains 85% curcuminoids, a powerful antioxidant. It is a perennial herb and a member of the ginger family. Current research has focused on turmeric’s antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-microbial properties, in addition to its use in cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal disorders.
