Have you taken your Pharma-Greens today? There is more than one way to shake it up, just ask F2C pro Eric Dokter (check out the video above).
• lack of sleep
• stress
• tough workouts
• high protein meals
• pre-workout supplements
• intense training schedule
• coffee (or three)
• wine, beer or alcohol
• dairy consumption
• missed servings of fruits or vegetables
• not enough time in a day
How many of those apply to you?
For most people, the majority of the bullet points, if not all, are a staple in their week. What do they have in common? They cause your body to exist in an acidic state with a pH level that is not meant for optimal function. Combine that with occasional junk food, shortened sleep cycle, an intense training schedule, your protein addiction and you've created an acidic dump site.
Water has a pH of 7 - neutral on the scale - and anything below is 'acidic' and above is 'alkaline'. Stress, sugar, alcohol and even "good" things like exercise and protein all lead to an acidic state. When the pH is not balanced, it negatively affects our energy levels, stamina, strength and immune system. In turn, this will affect athlete performance, performance in the gym, mental clarity, resistance to colds and even fatigue and overall mood. In summary: an alkaline state is much more beneficial than the alternative.
Supplements are never a substitution to real food but should be looked at as complimentary to your routine. In addition to your balanced diet, Pharma-Greens provide you with a top notch combination of 27 (non-GMO) ingredients that include spirulina, alfalfa, red beet and pomegranate powder (plus, plus, plus!). This potent ingredient list provides your body with various micro-nutrients such as:
• antioxidants
• lignans & flavonoids
• enzymes
• vitamins
• minerals
• scarce nutrients
• prebiotics
• probiotics
One serving of Pharma-Greens per day increases your body's ability to digest and absorb nutrients - including the ones you consume as meals. Combined with a solid diet of fruits, vegetables, protein, clean fats and whole grains, a serving of Pharma-Greens may reduce cortisol levels and improve thyroid function.
In addition, Pharma-Greens:
• balances pH
• aids in post recovery
• increases energy
• decreases oxidative stress
• cleanses and purify the digestive system
• relieves fatigue
• promotes endurance
• enhances motor performance
So, when should you take your Pharma-Greens?
First thing in the morning is best, as you will be able to influence your pH, your digestive system has not been activated and you're most efficient at absorbing micro-nutrients on an empty stomach. Mix 1 scoop of Greens with 1 cup (250ml) of water, shake up, drink and wait 20 minutes before eating your first meal.
Taking Pharma-Greens post workout on its own, mixed with Rehab 3:1, Vegan-Pure, Pharma-Pure or a smoothie is also beneficial supporting recovery by buffering lactic acid and scavenging free radicals.
Feeling a little run down or feeling a cold coming on? Taking a second serving of Pharma-Greens in the afternoon will boost immunity with the addition of all the antioxidants and vitamins.
