The chlorophyll in our greens transforms the life-giving power of the sun's energy into nutrients. The backbone of the chlorophyll molecule is magnesium, which is the most important mineral for a healthy cardiovascular system. Many people are clinically deficient in magnesium. The chlorophyll molecule is very similar to the hemoglobin molecule, which carries oxygen in our red blood cells. In traditional medicine, greens have been considered "blood builders." Our greens and sprouts also help the liver to detoxify substances that could otherwise harm the body's organs, including the heart. Cruciferous sprouts in Boku, such as broccoli and kale are especially potent in this regard.
The mushroom blend has many benefits to the human mind, body, and spirit. These amazing shrooms are considered the ultimate "immune boosting food," medicinal mushrooms, such as reishi, turkey tail and chaga are incredibly beneficial for the liver/kidneys, as well as the brain and nervous system.
