3 Powerful Superfoods in UltraNourish

UltraNourish offers many nutritional benefits, not the least of which come from several superfoods. The three superfoods with maximum health benefits include: pea protein, spirulina, and green tea.

1. Pea Protein – Pea protein offers a complete array of amino acids similar to whey protein, including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Pea is high in arginine, lysine and phenylalanine, and is recognized by the World Health Organization as meeting the needs of adults for essential amino acid requirements. UltraNourish offers 16 grams of pea protein per serving.
2. Spirulina – A blue-green algae, spirulina is a rich source of calcium, magnesium, niacin, potassium and iron. It is also a rich source of B vitamins and amino acids. In fact, the dry weight of spirulina contains as much as 70% protein! Spirulina is also an excellent antioxidant.
3. Green Tea – While green tea does contain caffeine, it also offers a range of antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and is a source of vitamins A, D, B, B5 and K. Green tea is also known for its mighty antioxidant epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), which offers significant health benefits and has been linked to lower rates of cancer.

Superfoods and Beyond!

While UltraNourish does contain these superfoods, it is also chock full of many fruits, vegetables, enzymes, proteins and sources of vitamins and minerals. Adding UltraNourish to a smoothie is an excellent way to ensure complete daily nutrition!
