I have NEVER eaten the way I probably should have, but I wanted to be healthy.
And, let’s face it, we’re all busy loving life. Right! I had been drinking
greens and taking all kinds of stuff, mostly pills and supplements just to try
to get some nutrition in my body and to make up for my less than great eating
habits.
So, the day came when I was almost out of greens (that’s powdered greens) and I
knew it was the day that I would finally have to go and find that Organic form
of greens I had always wanted. No more waiting ‘until’.
As I was mixing my last glass of powdered greens and proteins and opening a
thousand bottles of pills for all the supplements that ‘they’ say you need, I
threw up my arms and said out loud “Why can’t they make an organic product that
has all this good stuff in it?”
So, I set out for a good cause and with a great goal – to find the holy grail of
organic products. As I set out on my research, I didn’t really expect to find
what ‘I’ was looking for and needed. But, nonetheless, I was going to go try.
WAIT until you find out what I found out! I was astonished how companies get
away with labeling their products.
PURE does NOT mean Organic (interesting advertising label), in fact the only
thing I can say for sure, is ‘pure’, if not associated with organic, on the same
label, that it doesn’t mean much.
NATURAL does NOT mean Organic by the farthest stretch of the imagination. The
best I could tell was that natural meant it had source product in it. Meaning,
it may have come from the ground, but if it isn’t organic, it’s probably from
herbicidal or pesticidal ground (did I just make up a new word?).
ORGANIC does NOT mean ALL Organic in most situations. It may have one or several
organic ingredients, which is pretty close to what I was looking for, but no
cigar. Geez! These are wellness companies, go check the labels on some of the
well-known brands. And, what about the ‘other’ stuff I needed? Didn’t have it!
ONE single food or berry in and by itself, even if it’s a great food, will not
and cannot be the one all-in-all answer to a human beings complex body system.
We simply have more needs.
WHAT I DIDN’T WANT
WELL, lets start with what I found in most popular products and knew that I
DIDN’T WANT. Fake, icky or excessive sugars, like sucralose, maltose, sucrose,
dextrose, malt dextrose, aspartame, sorbitol, mannitol, artificial sweeteners or
corn syrup. (Just go read some of the reports on this stuff, ick). They were
everywhere in almost all the products I could find.
Since, I was researching Greens, I thought I might as well research fruits and
whey Protein powders at the same time, I was astonished, again. Most had one or
more of the above sugars in their ingredients. Let me reiterate I was on a quest
for the holy grail of organic greens, fruits and protein because whatever I
chose was going into MY body, and it had to be good. So, with proteins, I DIDN’T
WANT the above mentioned sugars along with fillers, artificial flavors or
colors, preservatives, wheat, corn, kamut, concentrate, soy or dairy, and, no
antibiotics, hormones, gluten, MSG, GMO, or high cholesterol, fat, sodium, or
carbohydrate content.
Guess what I found? Yep, you probably already know. Protein powders with what I
didn’t want in them! It was unbelievable. HIGH sodium and cholesterol counts in
most of them. And, sure, even though they were advertised as a protein, some had
pretty LOW protein counts (people just look at that stuff, I wouldn’t want
anything under 25g per serving). Remember, the holy grail of organics and
nutrition was my quest. Hundreds and hundreds of hours of frustrating research,
but don’t worry, it paid off, and just being able to share it with you just
tickles my heart.
WHAT DID I WANT?
Of course, nothing that fell into the above category of Didn’t Wants. So, here’s
my Holy Grail list. The simplest, easiest, and limited amount of Organic
product(s) that provided me with the ability to achieve my nutritional needs
without tons of pills and supplements. So are you ready for my nutritional needs
list? Here goes . . .
I WANT (Remember the holy grail with no pills or supplements) all natural, pure,
Organic Greens, Fruits and Proteins that give me antioxidants with high ORAC
values, phytonutrients, enzymes, fiber, probiotics (minimum LA, L, & B), marine
complex, bioavailable full spectrum multi-vitamins, natural continuous
detoxifying, digestive and immune support, pH balancing, minerals, trace
minerals and amino acids.
I know – I know I was asking a lot and didn’t really think it even existed. Of
course, everyone wants what I want in their daily intake for their fabulous
bodies. But, unfortunately, it was the list of DO NOT wants that was harder to
overcome.
Here’s another important point to mention. You can take all the supplements in
the world, but unless your cells are healthy enough to take in the nutrients,
they are NOT going to work for you. You must work with the entire body system,
not just the latest fad in supplements. It really is all about balance for you
and for your cells. Keeping the cells healthy and pH, bacteria and inflammation
in check. And, even if you do find the right product, the cells normally
regenerate over a 60 to 120 day period, so it takes a little time, but I figure
I’m worth it, so I know you are.
THE HOLY GRAIL
It may not be a holy grail (or is it) but I found a nutritional supplements
marketer, tri-athlete, and a 20+ year certified fitness expert couple that were
as FED UP as I was. In fact, they were frustrated recommending the supplements
they had but at the time there were just no better alternatives. They always
looked for the best product on the market, but even then, there weren’t really
quality products, namely good ‘real’ organics, and, they were still reaching for
the pill bottles. Then one night, they had an idea. Instead of complaining that
there was nothing out there that met their needs, they decided use all their
professional knowledge and passion as veterans of the wellness industry and
create a superior inclusive ORGANIC product. It took a lot of dedication to
follow this personal passion of theirs and a ton of work along with teaming up
with a well renowned natural health formulator, but they DID IT!
Pure, Natural, physicians grade ORGANICS - Greens, Fruits, Protein and Weight
Loss with ALL the DO WANTS on my wish list!!!! I can't even tell you how excited
I was. That meant I only needed to get a few products. But they even did it one
better, they went BEYOND Organics by demanding that their product be the BEST by
using ‘wild crafted sources’ as much as possible. I’m still reeling in delight
that I could have actually found what I wanted and I believe I have found the
‘Holy Grail’ of Organics!

P.S. A great muscle builder, and, I lost 10 lbs. the first 10 days, which wasn’t
my initial goal, just by getting my nutrition. And it was strange as my body
started craving better food and I ate less of the ‘not so good’ junk.
