WHY SEA VEGETABLES? Sea Vegetables offers a wealth of essential nutrients found in human blood serum including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and fatty acids. Unlike plants grown on land in depleted soils, Sea Vegetables grows in the world’s most nutrient rich surroundings, the “regeneration zone.” In Body Balance, Life Force combines the best of land and sea with nine varieties of Sea Vegetables, aloe vera, black cherry extract and a touch of honey. Over 120 naturally occurring, 100% organic nutrients help ensure vital health. No synthetic chemicals or preservatives are added. Body Balance tastes so good you can't believe you're drinking something so healthy! WHAT ARE SEA VEGETABLES?Sea Vegetables is a form of large algae (macroalgae) that grows in a saltwater or marine environment. Unlike plants growing on land, Sea Vegetables lacks true stems, roots and leaves. Like land plants, Sea Vegetables contains photosynthetic pigments (similar to chlorophyll). WHERE DOES LIFE FORCE HARVEST SEA VEGETABLES? We harvest our Sea Vegetables from the depths of the cold and pristine waters of the Arctic “Regeneration Zone,” where stalks of Sea Vegetables tower toward the sunlight, creating an underwater forest. The “Regeneration Zone” is 200 feet below the ocean surface in an area free of pollution and pesticides. It is abundant in nutrients. WHAT VARIETIES OF SEA VEGETABLES ARE USED? There are over 250 species of Sea Vegetables. Life Force carefully selects nine varieties particularly noted for their rich nutrients: Fucus Gardneri, Ulva Latuca, Alaria Valida, Nereocystis Luetkeana, Laminaria, Gigarina, Costaria Costata and Phodymenia Pertusa. HISTORICAL & MEDICAL USES OF SEA VEGETABLES Sea Vegetables has been harvested as food and medicine for thousands of years. The Chinese used Sea Vegetables for medicinal purposes as early as 3000 B.C.E. Ancient Hawaiian nobility cultivated rare and choice varieties for medicine and food. In modern times, Sea Vegetables has been used for drugs, including anticoagulants, antibiotics, antihelmenthes (anti-parasite), antihypertensive agents, reducers of blood cholesterol, dilatory agents and insecticides. |
