Why Emerald Balance is Essential for Athletes

A well known effect of intense exercise is that it raises oxidative stress and increases free radical production. Antioxidants help rid the body of free radicals, and help with maintaining a healthy body inside and out. Research has validated that antioxidants found in combinations of nutrients in whole foods have a greater protective effect than each nutrient taken alone. Emerald Balance delivers high amounts of antioxidants from over 40 nutrient-dense SuperFoods with more antioxidant capacity than 8-10 servings of fruits & vegetables with an ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) of over 3000! Just one severing of Emerald Balance consumed alone, or added to a daily protein shake can help balance antioxidant/free radical counts.

Emerald Balance Corrects Your pH Levels When on a High Protein Diet:

Keeping the body’s pH level in the optimal range is essential to the athlete consuming a high protein diet. With the body’s pH levels out of balance, it can actually prohibit the absorption of essential nutrients needed to stay healthy. How does this happen? One answer may surprise you . . . Protein, which is vital for maintaining lean muscle and your health, however it can also create an acidic condition in your body's pH balance. The same protein that you need to live and build muscle can actually over-burden your cells making them toxic and acidic! Another benefit to keeping the body’s pH levels within normal ranges of 7.4, is to aid in recovery with excess lactic acid build up.

Emerald Balance has included turmeric, ginger, and pineapple (a good source of bromelain) to its powerhouse formula to aid in minimizing inflammation that helps with muscle recovery. We’ve also added grape seed extract known for its Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs), OPC’s have been found to help prevent inflammation by preventing the release of collagenase and elastase from cells.

Emerald Balance contains high amounts of Silica, which is used to treat connective tissue injuries, stimulate healing of broken bones, and to promote healthy eyes, hair, skin, and nails. The essential element, silicon, is present in very large amounts in horsetail and bamboo. Because silica is essential for growth, and healing is a major constituent of bones, cartilage, connective tissue, and skin, it is recommended to prevent and treat disorders pertaining to these areas of the body. The highest levels of silicon in humans are found in the skin and connective tissues.

The SuperFoods found in Emerald Balance can add the extra support needed to strengthen an immune system. Astragalus, spirulina, chlorella, barley grass, royal jelly, and probiotics all help to enhance an immune system. Astragalus, spirulina, and royal jelly have been found to stimulate the production of white blood cells and red blood cells, and probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help strengthen the immune system functions of the intestines.
