By Lenette Nakauchi

Revitaphi is an Elements for Life superfood created by Dr. Jameth Sheridan, founder of Healthforce Nutritionals that can assist you in getting your veggies, herbs and more into your diet. It is an organic and wild-crafted superfood green powder containing raw, powdered, and dried land vegetables, sea vegetables, enzymes, probiotics, and featuring six amazing adaptogenic ancient herbs. Benefits are physical rejuvenation, increased oxygenation of the blood and brain, protection against mental, emotional, and physical stress, and weight management.

Green superfood supplements like Revitaphi play a crucial role in today's mineral deficient standard American Diet. Products like these that are the highest in quality without fillers such as lecithin, apple pectin, apple fiber, brown rice germ, barley malt, are a lot like taking a while-food multivitamin. International expert in nutrition and health sciences Gary Null, has commented that these super green food powders are vital because they're the only way to reverse nutritional deficiencies of the past, to make sure you're getting enough nutrition for today, and the build your nutritional reserves for tomorrow.

Six different herbs with adaptogenic properties are integrated into Revitaphi. These ancient herbs are Moringa Olifera, Indian Tulsi, Ashwaganda, Gotu Kola, Ginko Biloba, and Ho Shu Wu, also known as Fo-Ti. Adaptogens are plant-based foods that can help the body resist daily stresses, traumas, and fatigue. If you are tired, they can give you a boost, or if you are over-stimulated, they can help calm you're body down. Other ingredients that make Revitaphi stand out among other superfood green powders are it's full spectrum of probiotics and enzymes. These improve digestion and assimilation.

The Moringa Olifera plant is a small shrubby tree that has the ability to grow in harsh environments as well as the tropics. The World Vegetable Center in Taiwan identified it as the vegetable with the highest nutritional value among 120 other types of vegetables studied. The dried and powdered leaves are used in Revitaphi and contain 4-6 times as much calcium, 2 times as much magnesium, and 4 times more iron as spinach. In India, Moringa has been used to reduce child malnutrition in India.

Indian Tulsi is another Ayurvedic herb used in Revitaphi and is actually considered the number one adaptogen in the entire Ayurvedic system (10,000 herbs!). It is also known as Holy Basil. Ashwaganda is next and is an herb closely related to the Goji Berry and is often referred to as the ginseng of Ayurvedic medicine. It is generally regarded for its root. Ashwaganda is an herb that grows all over the world.

Two amazing brain foods in this superfood blend are Gotu Kola and Ginko Biloba. Gotu Kola nourishes lobes of the brain, and can improve memory. Ginko Biloba is the last surviving member of a family of trees that once dominated the entire earth. These trees can live to be 1000's of years old. The hardiness of this plant is what tells us it is an adaptogen. Bi-loba can actually refer to both lobes of our brain. The leaves of the Ginko tree 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.

There are many different ways you can easily incorporate Revitaphi into your daily diet. You can mix just 1/2 to 1 tablespoon into juice, water, coconut water, or a smoothie. You can sprinkle it on top of salads or soups, or you can create a salad dressing with it by blending it with avocado and/or oil, lemon juice, agave nectar, and some sea salt. Revitaphi can be stored at room temperature. - 15343
