Calcium is a mineral that plays an important role in the development of the human body. It is common knowledge that calcium is important in preventing osteoporosis. However, calcium also provides structural support in the development of muscles. Deficiency in calcium could cause obesity because it triggers the release of parathyroid hormone that stimulates the production of fats in the body and inhibits its breakdown. It also reduces the blood pressure. Calcium also has the ability to fight colon cancer by binding itself with cancer cells to inhibit its growth and progression. It is also beneficial to women suffering from PMS or premenstrual syndrome such as depression, mood swings, anxiety, water retention, breast tenderness, and headaches.

Chlorophyll has anti-oxidant, wound-healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps in the growth and repair of tissues. It assists in neutralizing pollution that we breathe in and intake everyday. It delivers magnesium efficiently and supports the blood in carrying the much required oxygen to cells and tissues. It is beneficial in assimilating and chelating calcium and other heavy minerals. Chlorophyll helps stimulate red blood cells in order to improve oxygen supply. It also helps neutralize free radicals that damage healthy cells. It is an effective deodorizer to decrease bad breath, fecal waste, urine, and body odor. It can also help treat calcium oxalate stone diseases. Chlorophyll also acts as anti-atherogenic. Due to its anti-carcinogenic and anti-mutagenic properties, it protects the body against toxins.

Folic Acid, Folacin or Vitamin B9, as well as the natural Folate, is water soluble and an essential nutrient, necessary, among other reasons, for production of healthy red blood cells and during periods of rapid cell division as well as growth. Folate, the natural form of Vitamin B9, is found in green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and lettuces, but also in liver and liver products. The synthetic form of folic acid is being added to many cereal and bread products, but is also a very popular nutritional supplement ingredient. Pregnant women, but also humans who are involved into rapidly growing muscle tissue, for instance in body building circles, require additional levels of folic acid to the regular nutritional intake. Many multivitamin supplements contain folic acid.

Iron is one of the most commonly available chemical elements which are used in the form of metal. When in the presence of oxygen and moisture, iron gets oxidized very easily. Therefore it is never available on the surface of earth. Iron is a metal whose properties can be changed by mixing it with the various other metals. Humans need iron as a daily dietary substance. There are a number of supplements available in market which provides the daily required dose of iron. But the best way to consume iron is by eating the food that is rich in iron. Fish, poultry, beans, lentils, leafy vegetables are some of food items that are a good source of iron. Although, research shows that it is easier to digest the iron found in meat and meat products than the vegetables.

Magnesium is another mineral which is deemed essential for all biological life. As an essential part of basic nucleic acid, magnesium ions, together with phosphate ions, are also required for over 300 catalytic reactions of enzymes. Any enzymes synthesizing or utilizing adenosine triphosphate require a magnesium ion. Incredulously enough, magnesium deficiency is the most widespread deficiency, affecting a third of the population in the United States only, with third world countries surpassing the count easily. Being also essential, together with calcium and phosphorus, in the skeletal structure, magnesium deficiency is viewed as a main factor in ailments such as osteoporosis. Naturally available through cereals, green leafy vegetables, nuts, spices, tea, cocoa and coffee, magnesium is available as a supplement in magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate form, whereby the latter is viewed as more bioavailable.

Magnesium Stearate is coommonly used as a filling agent in the manufacture of capsules and tablets, such as vitamins, the source of this ingredient is typically bovine. However, there is an increasing number of vegetarian options in which the product specifically indicates it contains magnesium stearate from vegetable sources.

Organic Brown Rice is unpolished rice wherein only the outermost layer or hull of the grain is removed. This enables the retention of nutritious minerals. The aleurone of the grain is stripped off when the grains are polished to become white rice, thus, diminishing its nutritional value. Organic brown rice is rich in Thiamine, vitamin 6, vitamin K, Niacine, Calcium, Iron, Fat, protein, phosphorus and calories. It also contains all of the dietary fibers and essential fatty acids. It provides carbohydrates that may be used by the body for energy. It helps control blood sugar and cholesterol level. It consists of starch that is easily digested which will benefit the stomach and intestines and enables the quick absorption of nutrients in the body.

Organic Maltodextrin is a type of non-sweet sugar that may be derived from corn, rice or potato starch. Organic Maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate, is saccharide polymer which consists of glucose and dextrose. It is commonly used as filler in foods, medications and other dietary supplements to act as a carrier, bulking agent, texturizer, and also to inhibit crystallization in products such as candies, puddings, baby food, and confectionery. It is easily absorbed in the bloodstream and acts as an “insulin spike”, that helps in the distribution of nutrients such as creatine, amino acids, and proteins to the muscle cells. This helps ensure that nutrients are efficiently utilized in the body. Organic Maltodextrin also helps in gaining weight.

Potassium, a mineral that is quite common in our food. Potassium is needed for proper muscle growth, nervous system and brain function and to help balance the PH of our bodies.

Sodium is part of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular creatures, not least mankind. It is needed for instance in nerve conduction and to balance the acid levels in the body. It is necessary for the functioning of organs such as the liver, intestine and kidneys in their work of ridding the body of toxins However there is an optimum intake. Above this there are problems such as a rise in the blood pressure. Also an excess of salt in the diet will draw fluid out of the cells by the process of osmosis. On the other hand a lack of sodium will lead to too much water in the body the brains cells will actually be flooded.

Vitamin A is a vitamin is needed by the retina of our eye in the form of a specific metabolite, the light-absorbing molecule retinal. This molecule is absolutely necessary for both scotopic and color vision. It also palys an important role in mainating body health, such as skin health, bone metabolism and immune function. Vitamin A is also commercially produced and administered as esters such as retinyl acetate commonly called Vitamin A acetate. Its defeciency can cause blindness. Some other problems include impaired immunity, keratosis pilaris and squamous metaplasia of the epithelium lining the upper respiratory passages and urinary bladder to a keratinized epithelium.

Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic (a-SKOR-bik) acid, is needed for many functions in the body, including helping the body use carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Vitamin C is found in most citrus fruits and green vegetables and is a strong antioxidant.
