‘Antioxidants’ is a hot beauty buzz word right now, and Amazing Grass has a new 
product that is right on target.   Just one scoop of their new GREENSuperFood Antioxidant&
Greens Powder has a whopping 15,000 ORAC units (compared to 900 per 3.5 ounce serving
of broccoli or 210 per 3.5 ounce serving of carrots).  Using a combination of five
key antioxidant blends made from high quality fruits, vegetables and herbs, the 
new GREENSuperFood Antioxidant & Greens Powder helps the body defend against the
effects of ‘evil’ free radicals and supports healthier skin and a strong immune 
system – key factors for optimizing beauty potential.

Free radicals are the by-products of a normal and necessary event – the burning 
of oxygen by cells in the body to produce energy.  These by-products are damaged
molecules that are missing an electron and want one badly enough to attack any nearby
molecule to get it.  If they take electrons from important components in the body,
such as DNA (the body’s master plan for reproducing cells) or from protein or fat,
they do damage to those cells and precipitate health problems including skin ailments.
Free radicals can also be caused by environmental factors such as pollution, smoking
and ultraviolet light.

Antioxidants are a group of compounds that act as free radical scavengers, donating
electrons and neutralizing free radicals thus preventing the destruction to other
cells.  Certain phytonutrients and vitamins, such as those within the Amazing Grass
GREENSuperFood blend, go around taking out the free radicals, converting them to
harmless waste that get eliminated from the body before they can do damage.

Another beauty benefit of Amazing Grass GREENSuperFood is its role in **_balancing
pH_** and detoxifying.  Many foods, the air we breathe, and the stress of our everyday
lives creates acids in our body.  The consumption of meat, dairy, fruit, and processed
foods leave our body’s pH in an acidic state, slowing metabolism and draining energy.
Wheat Grass and many of the other greens in Amazing Grass GREENSuperFood are alkaline,
and they help neutralize acids and bring the pH top a healthier state.

> _**“It is important to get out of an acidic state because the body retains water
> in the fat cells to help dilute these acids,” says Amazing Grass co-founder Todd
> Habermehl  “By restoring alkalinity and neutralizing acid production your body
> can improve metabolism and its ability to defend against disease, irritation and
> illnesses that can effect beauty.”**_

Fiber is an important part of any ‘eating for beauty’ regimen.  A scoop of Amazing
Grass in juice provides the equivalent of 4 servings of vegetables, and the fiber
expands in the stomach to create a feeling of fullness.   Wheat grass contains natural
fiber that binds to fat molecules in the digestive system, forcing them to be eliminated
by the body.  And the effects are long-lasting to ensure that the calories are either
used by the body or escorted through your body before they can affix themselves 
to your hips and thighs.

Amazing Grass Green SuperFood allows you to get the best nutrition any time of day,
everyday.   The company has selected the most nutritious vibrant organic vegetables,
cereal grasses, algae, anti-oxidant rich fruits, probiotics and immune boosting 
support herbs to create a delicious tasting drink powder that mixes easily with 
water, juice or your favorite smoothie.
