While many foods provide a complex range of nutrients, supergreens are considered one of the best sources of nutrition available.
The supermarket is full of greens—kale, chard, spinach, lettuce—but the term supergreen typically refers to a small group of greens from the algae and cereal grass families.
Supergreens are packed with a wide array of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes that are easily absorbed by the body. They contain high levels of chlorophyll and antioxidants.
Because of their highly concentrated nutrient profile, supergreens are believed to help boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, detoxify the body, and promote healthy digestion.
The antioxidants in supergreens are a line of defense against free radicals, which contribute to disease and aging. The enzymes offered by the supergreens appear to aid digestion.
