Elements for Life, a 100% raw organic superfood company, has come together with Dr. Jameth Sheridan, founder of Healthforce Nutritionals, to create Revitaphi. Adding this superfood green powder to your diet can make getting in all those super vegetables, super herbs, and more into your diet easy and convenient. Revitaphi is an organic and wild-crafted (meaning beyond organic) food containing over 21 raw, dried, and powdered foods in addition to enzymes, probiotics, and six incredible ancient herbs known for their adaptogenic properties. Benefits of this superfood are an increased body PH, a higher flow of oxygen to the blood and brain, a buffer of stress protection, weight management, a feeling of rejuvenation, and an increase in physical energy.
Superfood powders like these play a huge role in today's mainstream diet. High quality products without fillers are a lot like taking a multi-vitamin--except they're not synthetic; they're made entirely from real food. Gary Null, Ph.D., international expert in nutrition and health sciences, has said that these superfood powders are critical because they're the only way you can reverse deficiencies of the past, make sure that you have enough for today, and build up your reserves for the future.
Because it does not contain the high protein superfoods spirulina and chlorella, Revitaphi is extra alkalizing. What also makes it stand out among other superfood blends is it's incorporation of six adaptogenic herbs: Moringa Olifera, Indian Tulsi, Ashwaganda, Gotu Kola, Ginko Biloba, and Ho Shu Wu, a medicinal mushroom also known as Fo-Ti. Revitaphi also includes a full spectrum blend of 40 probiotics and enzymes. Herbalists refer to adaptogens as plants foods that are able to increase the body's protection against stress, trauma, and fatigue as well as fill other gaps that that body needs. If in the morning, you need more energy, adaptogenic herbs can provide that; if in the evening, you need to wind down and relax, adaptogenic herbs can help there as well.
Moringa Olifera is a small shrubby tree that has the ability to grow in harsh environments. The leaves are edible and have 4-6 times as much calcium, 2 times as much magnesium, and 4 times more iron as spinach. It grows throughout the developing world and has already been used by programs to reduce child malnutrition in India.
Indian Tulsi, or Holy Basil, is the second Ayurvedic herb ingredient in Revitaphi and is considered the #1 adaptogen in the whole Ayurvedic medicinal system of 10,000 herbs! Ashwaganda is next and is closely related to the superfood goji berry and can be found throughout the world. It is often referred to as the ginseng of the Ayurvedic system.
Gotu Kola and Ginko Biloba are two amazing brain food adaptogens. Gotu Kola has been found to nourish the brain and improve memory and Ginko Biloba's name literally means two lobes, bi-loba. Ginko Biloba trees can live for thousands of years and are actually the last surviving member of a family of trees to once dominate the planet. Because this tree is so hardy, it is a true adaptogen. The leaves, as opposed to the nut, are what is used in Revitaphi.
Last, Ho Shu Wu, also known as Fo-Ti, is a root herb included in Revitaphi. Highly prized in China, Ho Shu Wu is a de-stressor; it amplifies certain neurotransmitters like neuroepinephrine and dopamine and thus can create a blissful feeling.
You can take Revitaphi by mixing 1/2 to 1 tablespoon into your favorite juice, water, or even coconut water. Is makes a great addition to fruit smoothies or green smoothies. You can also either sprinkle it onto your salads or make a great salad dressing using it by blending up avocado or oil, lemon juice, Revitaphi, some sweetener such as agave nectar and some salt. You can store Revitaphi at room temperature. - 15683
