Green coffee beans

We are all familiar with coffee; the difference between our usual coffee and the green coffee beans used in this food supplement is simply that they are raw and haven’t been roasted. Green coffee beans contain chlorogenic (and therefore, caffeic) acid –  a nutrient largely destroyed during the roasting process, but Green Coffee Bean EXTREME preserves these levels, even in encapsulated form (50%).

Kelp

Kelp is a large edible seaweed (algae), which grows in underwater “forests” in shallow oceans. It contains vitamins (such as A, B1, B2, C, D and E), minerals (such as iodine, vanadium, zinc, magnesium, iron, potassium, copper and calcium), enzymes (haloperoxidases), amino acids (including tryptophan, threonine, isoleucine, methionine, cysteine and valine) and chlorophyll.

Iodine contributes to: normal cognitive function, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, the maintenance of normal skin, the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function, as well as to the normal growth of children.

Cayenne

Cayenne pepper is a hot chilli pepper in the Capsicum family. It contains capsaicin, which is the component that is responsible for the burning sensation associated with chillis.
