Q. I see that GREENS+® contains spirulina, dunaliella salina and Nova Scotia dulse. What are the benefits of these sea plants?
A. Sea vegetables are fantastic sources of vitamins, minerals, protein and trace minerals like chromium and selenium which are virtually depleted from Earth's soil. For example, Nova Scotia dulse is high in iron and rare minerals such as: boron, titanium, lithium, cesium, ubium and iodine. The protein content of most sea vegetables is between 15% to 60%. In fact, spirulina is 65% protein as compared to beef, which is only 22% protein. Spirulina and dunaliella salina are rich in carotenoids. Spirulina contains ten times the amount of beta-carotene found in an equivalent amount of carrots and contains over twice the amount of B12 as an equivalent amount of liver. Since sea vegetables are virtually fat free and low in calories, they are clearly some of the most beneficial foods you can eat.

Q. Where do you get these sea vegetables?
A. The nova Scotia dulse in GREENS+® is harvested by hand, at the appropriate growing stages, by a family from Maine who carefully wash the dulse with spring water and slowly solar dry it. the spirulina in GREENS+® is grown on the pristine Kona Coast of Hawaii and the dunaliella salina is grown in the crystal clear clean tropical waters of the South Pacific.

Q. Doesn't harvesting plants from the seas contribute to destruction of our natural resources?
A. No, because each sea be getable is cut and trimmed of of a mother plant. This allow the mother plant to continue to grow and reproduce.
