Cell Protector™

Black radish, a variety of the common garden radish, is both delicious on salads and a medicinal powerhouse. It's on the impressive list of glucosinolate-rich cruciferous veggies that also includes broccoli and cauliflower. Black radish is highly concentrated in glucoraphasatin, a unique compound from this family of glucosinolate phytonutrients that offers healthy DNA protection and healthy detox enzyme activity. A radish a day keeps the doctor away! Our black radishes are grown in France in nutrient-dense, certified organic soil. Upon harvest, our black radishes are juiced and concentrated, then dried and milled under low temperatures into a formidable cellular and DNA protector.

What we most commonly call "artichoke" is actually the strangely shaped flowering buds of this tall, thistle-like plant, which as a whole has some remarkable health benefits. Used since the 4th century BC as a digestive aid, modern science and clinical studies now back up many of these strong herbal traditions. Artichoke has long been considered a "cholagogue" to support healthy bile flow. Since many toxins are fat-soluble and require the emulsifying effects of bile for their elimination from our bodies, this supportive action of artichoke is a much-needed help for your liver as it works tirelessly to keep us in the clear. And like another of its thistle cousins, milk thistle, artichoke has documented effects on helping to support healthy liver cells. Our artichokes are grown in Germany in nutrient-dense, organic soil. Upon harvest, our fresh artichoke buds are juiced and concentrated, then dried and milled under low temperatures into a highly effective liver supporter and protector.

Many times more bitter than the smaller, more well-known capers from which they form, caper berries — which resemble a large olive — are rarely eaten due to their overpowering flavor. But their nutritional profile is astounding and definitely deserves our attention. Caper berries contain impressive levels of the flavonoids rutin and quercetin, and are rich in a pungent compound called methyl isothiocyanate, which studies show may help support healthy DNA function and formation. We have developed the only source of raw, dried organic caper berries in the world, hand-picked from the wild deserts of Morocco. So no need to pucker up while you're eating caper berries! Our formula contains all of their power in an easy-to-take capsule form.

With its distinctive flavor, cilantro leaf, also known as fresh coriander, can enliven many varieties of cuisine. But in order to reap its full rewards, plentiful daily consumption of this herb is a must, something most of us just aren't able to accomplish. Cilantro has a long traditional history of use for cleansing our bodies and livers, and supporting removal of unwanted toxins, specifically heavy metals. Once again, we have refused to settle for anything but the best, creating an exclusive source of organic, fresh freeze-dried cilantro just for you.

Although most people think of dandelion as a pesky, invasive weed, it is actually a powerful, well-respected herb, widely used all over the world and in traditional cultures for its innumerable benefits on our liver and gallbladder health. One of its most prominent actions, linked to the root of the plant, is to stimulate the healthy flow of bile from your liver, thereby supporting a healthy, balanced flow of toxins out of our systems. Our certified organic juice includes the whole dandelion plant: root, leaf and flower. Our fresh dandelions are harvested in Germany and cold-juiced for concentrated power, then vacuum-dried under low temperatures for optimal nutrient preservation.

Of the many varieties of sprouts available, it has been well established that the cruciferous family of sprouts contain a very special class of phytonutrients called glucosinolates. These compounds are known for their profound effects on DNA protection and cellular detoxification. They support healthy detoxification and healthy antioxidant status, including the all-important production of glutathione. Glutathione is your master antioxidant and is arguably your body's most indispensable compound when it comes to staying healthy. Our array of organic, fresh freeze-dried cruciferous sprouts include: Broccoli Sprouts, Upland Cress Sprouts, Daikon Sprouts, Red Radish Sprouts, Cauliflower Sprouts, Cabbage Sprouts and Arugula Sprouts.

During sprouting, processes in the dormant seed start converting stored protein and carbohydrates into active enzymes and vitamins, increasing their levels by 3-5 times. Sprouts are overflowing with live enzymes that provide key nutrition and energy for our bodies. Our certified organic sprout powders begin as certified organic seeds that are carefully selected to produce the most nutritious sprouts. Our seeds are gently activated in a proprietary broth, rich in catalytic minerals and other essential nutrients. After they burst to life, our sprouts are harvested, flash frozen and immediately placed in a vacuum and freeze-dried. Because our sprouts are not transported to another location for drying, there is no loss of enzymes or other valuable constituents between harvesting and freeze-drying. After drying, they are quickly cold-milled into a fine powder. With this level of care and attention, it's no wonder our sprout powders are some of the finest in the world.

Everyone is familiar with ginger for its pungent aroma and flavor. Not only does it add flair to your favorite dishes, it has been used as a powerful medicine for hundreds of years. In ancient India, ginger was so depended upon as a medicine that the literal translation of its name was "The Universal Healer." It is one of the most valuable and well-regarded botanical medicines throughout the world. And it has been experiencing a revival in the natural health world—as it should!

Ginger is best known for its positive support of healthy digestion. But there's more. Ginger also acts on the enzyme that helps you produce and recycle your master antioxidant, glutathione, your body's most indispensable weapon for protecting your cells and whole body. And it's been widely researched to support a healthy inflammation and immune response.

Our fresh ginger root is grown organically, and upon harvest, transformed into a potent, certified organic extract using our exclusive dual H₂O & CO₂ SuperPure® processing. With an abundance of the well-researched and standardized shogaol and gingerol compounds, our certified organic ginger extract is truly one of a kind.

Milk thistle has a strong tradition as a liver herb and tonic. Your liver is one of your hardest working organs, playing a key role in filtering your entire blood supply, and detoxifying compounds that could cause harm to your cells and your health. Milk thistle's most biologically active compound has been identified as a unique flavonoid called silymarin. Our patented extract is verified to contain a full 70% of silmarin, which includes silybin A & B, silychristin, and silydianin. What's more, it's certified organic from seed, to soil, all the way through to our exclusive SuperPure extraction process. This means it's made 100% without the use of any chemicals or harsh and dangerous solvents like acetone and hexane, two toxic solvents so commonly used in ordinary milk thistle extracts. Milk thistle is your classic liver herb and we deliver it in a form you can completely trust.

Between the ancient healing traditions that used pomegranates and the most advanced present-day research, it's clear there's something really special about this juicy red fruit. Pomegranates are teeming with what many researchers today call the "super anti-oxidants" (polyphenols). What makes pomegranates even more coveted is the presence of a rare compound called punicalagin. The far-reaching benefits of this phytonutrient have been well documented — from heart health, to healthy blood pressure, to healthy cell and DNA function. To ensure this powerful fruit's potential, we've selected a very special old world variety grown only in Spain. Then we've gone even further to concentrate the fruit and verify a high level of punicalagins content using our SuperPure extract process.

No longer just a decoration for your plate, this spicy veggie from the notable cruciferous family is experiencing a resurgence after several recent studies have uncovered its highly promising health benefits, especially when it comes to keeping your DNA and cells healthy. After searching all over the world for the very best watercress, we discovered that current suppliers in the market are not doing what it takes to preserve the very delicate glucosinolate and myrosinase phytonutrients that make this vibrant green leafy so special. So we decided to do the research and to be directly involved with making it ourselves! We established an exclusive relationship with an organic farm that has been operating in pristine aquifer-fed springs for over 100 years to produce the most consistently high glucosinolate content watercress of any farm in the world — one that has been the focal point of very positive clinical research. And we spent 5+ years developing the tests and highly sensitive fresh freeze-drying methods needed to keep the vital compounds within alive. The result is our exclusive, organic watercress, overflowing with a full spectrum of glucosoinolate and myrosinase compounds plus an assortment of other goodies like quercetin, lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, iron, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, calcium, and vitamin E.

You may only know of wasabi for its fiery zing as a popular Japanese condiment. But genuine wasabi is actually a wondrous health-promoting vegetable that has been studied by Japanese herbalists since the 10th century and now in modern times by prominent scientists. Like our watercress and cruciferous sprouts, it is loaded with glucosinolates, precursors for the DNA-supportive compounds known as isothiocyanates. Genuine wasabi is indigenous to cool mountain streams of the remote northern islands of Japan. It takes 18 months for our sustainably harvested wasabi to mature. After harvest, the plants are freeze-dried and tested to ensure they retain the highest concentrations of their active detoxifying compounds.

Turmeric is one of the most remarkable and bestselling herbs in the world. With over 2,000 studies on its incredible, health benefits and 3,000+ years of traditional use, it's no wonder it's called the "Golden Healer" and the "King and Queen" of herbs. From supporting a normal inflammation response to aiding digestion, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health, there's nothing that turmeric can't seem to do. It's also been shown to boost glutathione levels, your body's master antioxidant, and to support the genes that control healthy cell growth.

Our SuperPure Turmeric is the only certified organic whole-spectrum turmeric extract in the world. With the healing power of curcuminoids as well as the lesser-known but highly valuable essential oils, turmerones, and polysaccharides, there is truly not another turmeric extract that comes even close. There is almost no end to what the research keeps discovering about the incredible healing and protective properties of turmeric. And we've unlocked its fullest potential so that you can truly benefit.

Micro-minerals like selenium perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, micro-mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. Selenium is one such mineral that is essential to life and can only be acquired through diet and supplementation since your body cannot produce it on its own. Selenium protects our hearts and immune systems. It also maximizes thyroid function, as it's needed for proper thyroid hormone production. Selenium's most prominent role is as a potent antioxidant and regulator of inflammation. It's no wonder that selenium is often referred to as an anti-aging marvel — for both the aging we can't see on the inside and what we can on the outside!

Selenium supplementation can be very important for all these reasons.

Our selenium comes to life in our whole-food fermentation process, which is designed to transform each mineral into a rich, synergistic matrix of nutrition that includes selenomethionine, selenocysteine, and other organically bound forms. The result is a unique form of selenium that brings you the best of real, wholesome food that is perfectly balanced, gentle, and compatible with your body. Shouldn't your supplements follow nature's lead?
