A breakdown product of sinigrin, called allyl isothiocyanate, is not only responsible for the smell and taste of Brussels sprouts, but also promotes precancerous cells of the digestive system to commit suicide -- a natural process called apoptosis.

Cabbage contains naturally occurring phytonutrients. These phytonutrients, such as sulforaphane, are believed to have powerful antioxidant and protective capabilities.

• Maintains a healthy circulation and supports the immune system.
• Carrot juice is an extremely rich source of alpha and beta-carotene, which is converted by the body into pro-vitamin A (natural vitamin A). Vitamin A is essential for the normal development and health of many body tissues, including the skin and eyes. It is considered essential for the visual cycle (focusing the conversion of light stimuli into electrical impulses), pigment formation in the skin, and as an antioxidant in the cells. The level of Vitamin A required by the eyes can increase up to fifty-fold when working with a computer, watching television, driving a car at night, and reading and writing under artificial light, all of which place great demands on the eyes.

There are two main ingredients in cauliflower, and all of the cruciferous family that are the main disease fighters. These are indole-3-carbinol, or 13C, and the photonutrient sulforaphane. In research done at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, sulforaphane lowered the occurrence of breast tumors in lab animals by almost 40%. Toxins that would normally damage the cells and turn cancerous, are swept out of the system by sulforaphane, preventing tumors before they begin. 13C lowers the chances of tumor growth.

Cayenne is the most useful of the systemic stimulants. It stimulates blood flow, strengthening the heart, arteries, capillaries and nerves. A general tonic, it is also specific for both circulatory and digestive system. It may be used in flatulent dyspepsia and colic. If there is insufficient peripheral circulation, leading to cold hands and feet and possibly chilblains, Cayenne may be used, also for debility and for warding off colds. Capsicum meets the debility of young and old, but particularly useful in the elderly, when body-heat is low, vitality depressed and reaction sluggish. Tired, painful muscles, stiffened joints and relaxation of any part are common conditions in the elderly that are, in a measure, rectified by Capsicum.

Fulvic (not to be confused with folic acid) is rapidly being recognized as one of the key elements in many outstanding health and scientific breakthroughs of the 21st century.  Although it's healing benefits have been known and used for centuries in some parts of the world, modern scientists and doctors are just starting to recognize it's extraordinary potential.  Fulvic has always occurred naturally in organic plants and soils, but is only recently being used by those who understand it's amazing benefits.  At Vital-Earth Minerals, we have seen a dramatic increase in interest from the general public, health care professionals and leading health food stores. 

 Fulvic can balance and energize the cell life and biological properties it comes into contact with.  If the individual cell is restored to its normal chemical balance and electrical potential, we have given cells life where death and disintegration would normally occur.  

 Researchers have known for years that at least 90 nutrients are needed to maintain optimum health.  These nutrients include a minimum of 59 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids and 3 essential fatty acids.  But eating good tasting food and swallowing a lot of vitamin pills does not guarantee absorption or utilization of these vital nutrients.  When the body does not absorb nutrients from food or supplements, the door is open for disease. 

Scientists have found that Fulvic is the element that makes nutrients absorbable, resulting in a dramatic impact on all kinds of diseases and health problems that afflict us today.  They call it the elixir of life and theorize that without it nothing would live.

It contains 22 amino acids and has 75% protein assimilation, with a full spectrum of naturally chelated minerals (organically bound). It provides an abundance of beta carotene, most of the B-complex vitamins - the richest of all other algae in vitamin B-12, and some vitamin E. It is the algae of choice for the mind and nervous system, as it has much higher neuropeptide precursor concentration than either spirulina or chlorella and has a very positive effect on the hypothalamus, and the pineal and pituitary glands. It is a brain food "par excellence."

Klamath Lake Algae is a wonderful source of Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll is essential to all life on earth. It is so similar to heme (hemoglobin) in our blood that only a single molecule separates the two; magnesium at the center of chlorophyll, and iron at the center of the heme in red blood cells. Chlorophyll provides a powerful oxygenating effect on the blood. Its oxygenating influence on the body can speed healing and assist your immune system. Since it is alkaline, it can bring back the balance in pH to blood rendered acidic by a diet too heavy in protein. Since 1780, when scientific research first began on chlorophyll, studies have shown it protects against and detoxifies a wide range of chemical pollutants and radiation, purifies your blood and stimulates circulation. It is easily digestible because it is water soluble and rich in fat-soluble substances such as vitamin K, which helps blood clot and prevents oxalate crystals (precursors to kidney stones) from forming in urine.

Lactase is an intestinal enzyme that breaks lactose (milk sugar) into its two constituent sugars to render it absorbable. Humans produce peak amounts of lactase in infancy, when milk is necessary for survival; thereafter, the supply begins to diminish. Many people cannot digest more than a small amount of milk because of a deficiency of lactase.

Yucca is traditionally used as a blood purifier, and used to cleanse the urinary, circulatory, and digestive systems. Yucca contains saponins that improve the body's ability to produce a natural cortisone which helps with inflammation, healing, and pain.

Yucca has long been used to assists with the reduction of pain and inflammation, but also has fat absorbing and cholesterol reducing abilities. Yucca can help promote healthy flora of the intestines, relieve intestinal problems, aids digestion and helps the body to cleanse and detoxify, particularly by assisting in the removal of putrefactive substances from the gastrointestinal tract and eradicating yeasts in the colon.

Yucca contains natural saponins, which can aid in the reduction of serum cholesterol levels. The body naturally and continuously secrets bile acids and cholesterol into the stomach, where it is reabsorbed. Saponins form strong insoluble complexes by binding to bile acids and cholesterol, making them unavailable for reabsorption by the body, thus promoting their excretion. The body then must use dietary or stored cholesterol to create more bile, which further reduces the amount of cholesterol that stays in the blood and leaves less to build up in the arteries. Yucca has also shown promise in its ability to assist the body with the reduction of triglycerides, blood pressure and migraines.

Yucca is both fat and water-soluble which increases its ability to emulsify and inactivate ingested dietary fats, oils and cholesterols. These emulsified oils and fats are more easily absorbed by Chitosan and removed from the stomach.
