Green Balance Alkalizing Blend^® (organic) is a synergistic "green" formula of concentrated alkaline superfoods. A valuable source of naturally occurring phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, it helps boost energy, assist with mineral replenishment, provide optimal support for the body, and helps the body to maintain a healthy pH balance.

Tested for its alkalizing effect on the body using the PRAL method,¹ Green Balance Alkalizing Blend^® (organic) produced a result of -46.437/100g. A PRAL value for a food of < 0 is considered to increase the alkalinity of the body fluids; and a PRAL value > 0 increases the acidity of the bodily fluids.² Our Green Balance Alkalizing Blend® (organic) falls in the higher range of foods that have an alkalizing effect on the body.³

Its alkalizing ingredients are:

One of the most nutrient-dense foods available, it is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, potassium, iron, copper and manganese, and a good source of several other vitamins and minerals, amino acids, dietary fiber, and numerous plant compounds like chlorophyll, carotenoids, flavonoids and glucosinolates, which are broken down into biologically active compounds such as indoles like indole-3- carbinol, and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane. It also contains some alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 essential fatty acid.
• Lemon Juice Powder (organic). An excellent source of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), citric acid and citrus limonins, and contains a variety of phytochemicals like the flavonoid glycosides, as well as containing smaller amounts of flavonoids like ß-carotenes, ß-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and lutein.
