The diet is unbalanced when it lacks fresh, whole, natural foods and consists mainly of processed, convenient foods that have little nutritional value like refined sugar, white flour, processed oils and hardened fat. Restoring a healthy balance can begin in as little time as two days as the ingredients in Udo's Choice® Beyond Greens® begin to boost nutrient intake and absorption and improve digestion and elimination, resulting in increased energy, brainpower, stamina and immunity. Beyond Greens blends quickly and easily, so it's great for people on the run who need an instant, nutritious meal or a quick pick-me-up snack. It's also ideal for elderly people or anyone in a compromised state of health. Beyond Greens makes it easy and convenient for anyone to achieve a well balanced diet.
Beyond Greens gives you premium greens from organically grown barley, alfalfa, oat and rye grasses, plus spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, parsley and kale. These greens are rich in detoxifying chlorophyll, and provide naturally balanced vitamins, minerals and protein to keep you in top form. For example, barley grass contains diverse nutrients that include calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, B-vitamins, carotene and vitamins C and E. Beyond Greens also contains energizers, like ginseng and bee pollen, that help fight the fatigue associated with life's hectic pace.
With so many greens to choose from, why not take a step Beyond Greens? A key factor that sets Beyond Greens apart is its high amount of essential fatty acids (EFAs). Each tablespoon provides over 1,000 mg of high quality oil from the same balanced mixture of flax, sunflower and sesame seeds as is used in Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend.
EFAs are required by every cell of the body for proper development, optimal function and structural renewal. Research shows that EFAs benefit inflammation, autoimmune diseases, skin conditions, high blood pressure, cholesterol levels and neural functions as well as brain function, hormonal health, child development, bone strength and insulin function. Furthermore, EFAs increase fat metabolism, decrease fat production and storage and are a source of long-lasting energy, strength and endurance.
Beyond Greens supplies soluble fibre, which carries cholesterol out of the body and feeds friendly intestinal bacteria, as well as insoluble fibre, which adds needed bulk to assist regular elimination. These fibres help reduce the risk of developing disease, stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce cravings. The average person consumes only about ten grams of fibre a day, which is less than half of the recommended daily amount.
Without adequate fibre in the diet, food takes much longer to pass through the digestive tract. This stagnating food builds up 'sludge' or residue that clings to the microvilli, which are hair-like projections that line the entire intestinal tract. When these microvilli are covered with residue, nutrients cannot be fully absorbed for health and energy. The fibre in Beyond Greens loosens this residue and gently scrubs the microvilli. Once the microvilli are clean, they can absorb a much greater amount of nutrients and vitamins. Three servings of Beyond Greens throughout the day will add five grams of fibre to the diet.
Beyond Greens also contains antioxidant-rich whole food concentrates and phytonutrients, such as greens, carrots, soy sprouts, kale, burdock root, bilberry, hawthorn and kelp, as well as standardized Grape Seed Extract and Ginkgo Biloba. Increasingly, scientific studies are confirming that antioxidants are one of the most powerful, natural disease fighters. Antioxidants combat the free radical damage that is at the root of many degenerative diseases as well as the aging process. Flaxseed is the highest known source of lignans, which are special antioxidants found in plant fibre. Research is uncovering their amazing antibacterial, antiviral and antitumour activity and they have also have shown positive scientific results for relieving the symptoms of menopause and treating hormone-related diseases like breast, uterine and prostate cancers.
Digestive enzymes are only a few of the thousands of known enzymes. They are like scissors that cut up the foods we eat into basic building blocks that our body then absorbs and reassembles to build cells, tissues, organs, glands and entire body systems. They have been included in Beyond Greens to ensure the proper breakdown and therefore optimum absorption of the full-spectrum of essential and healing compounds in this formula.
The combination of fibre, detoxifying greens and digestive enzymes makes Beyond Greens an effective deep cleansing formula that rejuvenates the gastro-intestinal system, and provides day-to-day digestive support to maintain optimal nutrient absorption.

Who is Udo Erasmus?
Udo Erasmus is an international authority on fats, oils, cholesterol and human health. Udo's Choice® Beyond Greens® formulated by Udo Erasmus.
Udo received his B.Sc. in Honours Zoology from the University of British Columbia and followed this with graduate studies in Biochemistry and ife took a significant turn when he was poisoned by pesticides. When conventional medicine was unable to provide help, he concluded that his health was his own responsibility and turned his attention to nutrition. Several years of research culminated in his Canadian best-selling book, Fats that Heal Fats that Kill which earned him a PhD. in nutrition.
In 1983, he began to pioneer technology for pressing and packaging edible, fresh oils made with health in mind, under the exclusion of the three main factors which can transform nutritious oils into toxic ones - light, heat, and oxygen. Until that time, oils were highly processed by destructive methods, sacrificing health benefits in order to attain long shelf life.
Over the past fifteen years, he has appeared on nationally syndicated radio and television shows and has given thousands of media interviews and lectures, educating audiences across Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Australia on the components of good health. Presently, Udo continues to develop steps towards optimum health and to work on his next book. Visit Udo at www.udoerasmus.com.
