Ingredients of AIM CoCoa LeafGreens® 

Barley leaf (Hordeum vulgare)

This ingredient of this leafy green powder supplement can be seen as the the most nutritious of the green grasses. Did you know that Barley leaf contains a high amount of  vitamin K and chlorophyll. Vitamin K is important for your body to utilize calcium and this helps you maintain a healthy bone density.  Research shows us that vitamin K may also help prevent the calcification of arteries, slow the cognitive decline associated with aging process, and regulate blood sugar. Chlorophyll will help protect your body from radiation, carcinogens, and DNA damage and helps the body heal wounds, improve regularity, and control odour.

Spinach leaf (Spinacia oleracea)

This ingredient contains many potent antioxidants and is also rich in nutrients. In Spinach leaf, there are many vitamins and minerals as well. Research shows that lutein, a nutrient that is found in large amounts in this beverage, may help you with age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

Among its many documented health benefits, the spinach leaf may also aid in constipation, curbing anaemia, insomnia, obesity, high blood pressure, bronchitis, and indigestion.

Kale leaf (Brassica oleracea Acephala)

Kale leaf contains a ton of  flavonoids. Has magnesium as well

Quercetin, which is also contained naturally in kale, arugula, Swiss chard, and spinach leaves, belongs to a group of plant pigments known as flavanoids. These are partly responsible for the colour we see in many fruits and vegetables.

The synthetic quercetin dehydrate found in most supplements is not soluble in water and thus provides no meaningful benefits. The natural quercetin found in the LeafGreens products is bioavailable and absorbable.
Recent studies have found quercetin to inhibit the production and release of histamine and other allergic and inflammatory substances. Histamine can lead to allergy symptoms such as making your eyes water, runny nose, and the swelling of soft tissue. Quercetin can inhibit the inflammation in joints, provide arthritis relief, inhibit the aggregation of platelets (abnormal clotting), and help improve circulation.

Arugula leaf (Eruca sativa)

This ingredient of AIM CoCoa LeafGreens® contains a group of compounds known as glucosinolates and they are responsible for the distinct flavour of arugula. When digested, glucosinolates are broken down into indoles, nitriles, thiocynates, and isothiocyanates. These compounds have been found to deactivate carcinogens, protect cells from DNA damage, and have anti-inflammatory effects.

Swiss Chard leaf (Beta vulgaris)

Swiss Chard leaf contains the flavonoid kaempferol. Kaempferol limits the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol and the formation of platelet clusters in the blood, providing benefits for those with arteriosclerosis. Kaempferol also plays a role in regulating our blood’s water-sodium/glucose balance and kidney cell function often problematic in diabetics.

A study in 2002 found that flavonoids such as kaempferol can suppress oxidative stress, which may help with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Swiss chard is also a source of syringic acid, a flavonoid that according to study published in the Journal of Acute Disease helps to stabilize blood sugars.

Broccoli sprout:

Brassica oleracea sprouts contain the highest concentration of sulforaphane of all cruciferous vegetables.

Sulforaphane is a phytonutrient that may lower your inflammatory response and improve cardiovascular health.

A study published in 2009 found that oral consumption of sulforaphane reduced inflammation in human airways by increasing naturally occurring enzymes in the body. In 2004, an animal study found that broccoli sprouts decreased stress in both cardiovascular and kidney tissues. One serving of AIM LeafGreens in South Africa powder will give you the recommended 400 μg of sulforaphane daily. Another 2015 study found that after drinking sulfophane-rich juice, protective changes were detectable in the lining of the test subjects’ mouths.

Cacao and Cocoa:

There are 3 delicious types of Cocoa that’s contained in this product. They are organic cacao powder, organic cocoa powder, and alkalized cocoa.

The organic cacao powder which contains natural anti oxidants and is derived from cacao beans. and retains the Fiber found in the original bean as well.

Cocoa contains an abundance of antioxidants and flavonoids; over 700 vital compounds have been discovered in cocoa.

This is why cocoa is so good and able to support your bone health. To add to the benefits, cocoa may also benefit your cardio health. You may also have a natural increase in energy.

Harvard researchers found that the flavonoids in cocoa may prevent heart disease, and several studies have supported cocoa’s positive effect on blood pressure and cholesterol.
