NATURALLY HEALTHY www.gourmetnews.com n MARCH 2020 n GOURMET NEWS N H 3 4 The Evolution of Green Vibrance Green Vibrance was the first green super- food, introduced in 1992. It contained 34 in- gredients. Many competing green foods have appeared since then, but none has ever matched Green Vibrance. They cannot keep up with the continuous evolution. No Vibrant Health formula is "cast in stone." The only way a dietary supplement can remain prescient and up-to-date is to fol- low the latest findings of science and incor- porate the best raw materials. Sensibly, Green Vibrance continues to improve based on evolving knowledge. The formula today contains more than 70 ingredients. The number has grown over time as new raw materials appeared that fit the core purpose of Green Vibrance: to feed and nurture our ancient biochemistry in this modern world. Foods consumed by our Paleolithic ances- tors provided maximum nutrient density be- cause the soil upon which the plants grew had never been farmed. No nutrient deple- tion from repetitive farming had occurred. Furthermore, wild animals ate those nutrient- dense plants, concentrating high levels of micronutrients in their tissues. Our ancestors were also much more phys- ically active than we. They subsisted on a daily intake of about 5 pounds and 3,000 to 3,500 calories of food. Only Olympians con- sume that much today. Life places milder physical demands upon the rest of us. Thank- fully, it is easy to cut back our calories from fat, protein and carbohydrates. But as we do, we also dramatically reduce our intake of mi- cronutrients compared to ancient times. Each calorie delivered up by protein, fat and carbohydrates back in Paleolithic times, brought with it more vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and other micronutrients than do modern foods. This is important because the minute chemistry of life relies on micronutrients in our food. Can we safely reduce our intake of those micronutrients as we reduce calories mandated by our seden- tary lives? Not by very much. The solution? The Green Vi- brance evolution. Green Vibrance nudges you back to the level of health enjoyed by our Paleolithic ancestors by meeting the needs of your Paleolithic biochemistry. Green Vibrance delivers a vi- brant mix of micronutrients. Food sources for these include certified organic spirulina as well as chlorella, and cereal grass juice powders backed up by the vegetables, pars- ley, zucchini, beet juice, carrot, broccoli, sea vegetables and spinach. The ingredients were chosen based on their extreme nutri- ent density. These naturally low-calorie plants deliver maximum micronutrients per calorie. Green Vibrance has taken advantage of the rapid development of specialized plant extracts. Over time, alterations and additions to the botanical antiox- idants selected for their verified capa- bility to improve circulation have occurred. The first version of Green Vibrance led the industry by combining six strains of probiotics at significant po- tencies. The formula has evolved to 12 strains today. Throughout its evolution, Green Vibrance has fed and protected our Paleolithic heritage. It always provides nu- trient density and few calories, rehabilitates and improves digestion, supports efficient circulation, helps protect against the effects of stress, supports healthy immunity, sup- ports a robust skeleton and protects our more modern and toxic environment.
