Kelp (Fucus versiculosus)
Kelp is mainly used as a sea
vegetable and belongs to the group of brown algae.
Kelp has been found to contain varying degrees of
iodine, which is a mineral that is used by the
thyroid to maintain normal function
and body metabolism. Furthermore, it’s also
essential for reproductive tissue health, in fact
recent research shows that
adding sea vegetables to the diet
could be a powerful way to reduce the risk of breast
cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Sea
vegetables are excellent foods for pregnancy. Lack of
iodine
can cause stunted growth, mental deficiency, puffy facial
features and a lack of muscular development. Sea vegetables can
help increase haemoglobin levels and also reduce constipation
and stretch marks in pregnant mothers.

Liquid Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in
plants that harnesses the sun’s energy through
photosynthesis to perform various metabolic
functions such as respiration and growth. During
photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and with that
energy, chlorophyll changes water and carbon dioxide
absorbed from the air into sugar. The plant is then
able to use this, along with minerals absorbed from
the earth, to make vitamins, fats, proteins and
starches it needs in order to survive. Humans and
animals, along with non-green plants such as
mushrooms, also rely upon the food producing
capabilities of chlorophyll. Nature’s Sunshine
obtains its chlorophyll from the alfalfa plant, a
natural plant source, and is considered a useful
nutritional aid for the human body. Nature’s
Sunshine has combined Chlorophyll with spearmint oil
to form a refreshing mint flavoured drink when mixed
with water.
|
|
Therapeutic Use
Liquid Chlorophyll may assist in
neutralising body odours, including those in the bowel,
improving immune response, strengthening cells, helping
cleanse the blood of impurities and so aids liver
function, encouraging proper bowel movement and acting
as an internal deodorant. In addition, Liquid
Chlorophyll can improve circulation, reduce inflammation
and help balance the pH of the body. It can also be
used as a mouth gargle to relieve minor inflammations of
the throat.
Because of its effective cleansing properties, Liquid
Chlorophyll makes a highly-valued rejuvenative tonic
drink to have during a detox programme. Chlorophyll is
non-toxic, soothing to body tissues and safe for use by
people of all ages.

The liver is the second largest organ
(after the skin) and the largest gland in the body.
It plays many important roles, the most well-known

sugar) and converting it to glycogen, the form of
sugar that can be stored in the cells; maintaining
the body’s supply of protein at the right levels;
producing many important blood proteins, including
immune factors and proteins involved in blood
clotting; breaking down fats; storing fat soluble
vitamins and some minerals; removing poisonous
