Green PhytoPower to the Rescue “Eat your vegetables.” You heard it when you were a kid. If you’re a parent, you probably say it to your own kids. Today, you probably include a few modifiers: “Eat your raw, organic vegetables.” 

In his SuperFoods workshop at the 1999 RBC International Convention, David Sandoval spoke persuasively on the importance of phytochemicals in the diet. As a source of chlorophyll, rich nutrients, antioxidants, trace minerals, and key enzymes, nothing beats Green Foods like wheatgrass, barley green, kamut grass and, of course, the micro-algaes like Spirulina. Packed with nutrition, these phyto-nutrients nourish the body at the cellular level. Adding a supplement like Royal BodyCare’s Green Phyto-Power™ to your diet can boost your immune system, increase energy levels, combat fatigue and add alkalinity to your overly-stressed, overly-acidic body. 

The chemical structure of chlorophyll is identical to the hemoglobin in our red blood cells, except that chlorophyll contains a magnesium ion at the center of its structure, while heme is bonded to an iron ion. Both substances are chelates, biological chemicals which play an important role in oxygen transport.

Another biologically significant chelate is vitamin B-12. It’s the only vitamin that contains a metal, a cobalt ion bonded to a chelating agent. As far as is known, it is required in the diet of all higher animals. It’s not synthesized by either higher plants or animals, but only by certain bacteria and molds. These are the sources of the B-12 found in animal products. Because vitamin B-12 is not found in higher plants, vegetarians must take care to include in their diets foods or supplements that contain the vitamin. Royal BodyCare’s Nutritional Programs 1–5 all contain B-12, as does Spirulina, Ora Key, Formula One, Ultimate, 100% Woman, Slim Pack, Stress Pack and Omega
