Supergreens and green foods: a natural path to vitality

Supergreens are a range of natural sources that are high in nutritional value and provide the body with valuable vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They include not only grasses but also leafy greens, seaweed and even some plants that come from trees. Below is an overview of each group:

• Grasses and young cereals:

Young green barley and wheat are traditional sources of supergreens. They are made from young sprouting grains and plants and are rich in enzymes, vitamins and chlorophyll.

• Leafy vegetables:

Supergreens also include certain leafy vegetables such as kale , spinach and broccoli . These plants contain high amounts of vitamins (e.g. vitamin C, K and folic acid) and antioxidants that contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system.

• Seaweed and cyanobacteria:

Chlorella and spirulina (often referred to as cyanobacteria or blue-green algae) are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Their natural chlorophyll and antioxidant content is often cited as one of the main benefits of these supergreens.

• Supergreens from trees and shrubs:

Moringa – also known as the tree of life – is prized for its leaves, which contain a range of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals.

Matcha – green tea powder, comes from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis), which is processed to maintain its high content of antioxidants and chlorophyll.

Unique effects of supergreens on the body:

• Barley is rich in antioxidants and fiber. Thanks to its folic acid content, it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal functioning of the immune system and to normal psychological function.
• The green algae chlorella is sought after for its natural content of chlorophyll and polysaccharides, as well as cell walls capable of binding toxins. Chlorella thus helps remove toxic substances from the body and supports the cleansing function of the liver. It contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system, supports digestion and metabolism.
• Spirulina - blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, provides the body with natural proteins and nutrients such as the blue pigment phycocyanin. Spirulina helps increase vitality and provides energy. It strengthens the body and supports the immune system. 
• Matcha green tea powder is another great example of a supergreen. The catechins in green tea support cognitive function and are antioxidants, and green tea helps detoxify the body.

Supergreens and quality of origin

When it comes to supergreens, it’s always important to consider the quality of the source. High-quality greens come from organic farming, where chemicals are not used, and are processed gently at low temperatures. This preserves the maximum content of vitamins and other heat-sensitive nutrients, which is key to achieving optimal effects.
