Are You Getting Your Daily Greens?
Green vegetables are vital to help alkalize your body and strengthen your immune system. Our Sun Is Shining™ Green Superfood makes it super simple to get the greens your body needs—and we’re talking about much more than the average head of lettuce here…
Sun Is Shining™ is loaded with 30+ raw, non-GMO, organic or wild-crafted ingredients, with no grain fillers or additives. It’s got land grasses, sea vegetables, freshwater algae, enzymes and probiotics—all in an easy-to-use powder that you can add to any juice or smoothie.
How Does It Work?
The freshwater algae in Sun Is Shining™ has amazing detoxification potential. Chlorella has been known to help alleviate heavy metal toxicity. One study in particular proved that chlorella helps the body rid itself of cadmium, concluding that “when exposed to Cd (cadmium), chlorella is an appropriate source which counteracts heavy metal poisoning.”1 Another found that “continuous BP [chlorella (parachlorella beijerinckii)] intake accelerates the excretion of MeHg [methylmecury] and subsequently decreases tissue Hg [mercury] levels.”2
Spirulina has been known to help with radiation detoxification: One research study showed that children with radiation sickness “reduced urine radioactivity levels by 50% in only 20 days” with five grams of spirulina administered per day, confirming “the beneficial health effects of spirulina on children with radiation sickness.”3
The anti-oxidative power of wheatgrass was found to be an “effective and safe” treatment for ulcerative colitis.4 The Hippocrates Health Institute also found that wheat grass is “a powerful detoxifier, and liver and blood protector” that can “stimulate metabolism…restore alkalinity…neutralize toxins… [and] slow down the aging process.”5
The sea vegetable known as kelp was found to cause a “positive reaction in hepatic [liver] cells” in subjects with carcinogen exposure.6 Another study also confirmed that a chemical characteristic of brown seaweed [kelp] has “protecting effects on the liver” as well as “antioxidant, anti-inflammatory…[and] anti-obese” activities.7
Sun Is Shining™ is 40% protein, boasting an incredible array of nutrients. A two-teaspoon serving will give you 123% of your RDA of vitamin A, 158% vitamin B12, 19% vitamin B2, 33% iron, 9% calcium—the list goes on! Click here for a full nutritional panel and ingredient list to get the raw facts!
Last but not least, Sun Is Shining™ has probiotics (friendly flora) which can enhance digestion and strengthen the immune system, along with enzymes, complex proteins which can also help to aid in digestion and make all these nutrients more bio-available.
