Rejuventate with Revitaphi Superfood and Six Adapotgenic Herbs

By Lenette Nakauchi

Revitaphi is an Elements for Life superfood created by Dr. Jameth Sheridan, founder of Healthforce Nutritionals that can assist you in getting your veggies, herbs and more into your diet. It is an organic and wild-crafted superfood green powder containing raw, powdered, and dried land vegetables, sea vegetables, enzymes, probiotics, and featuring six amazing adaptogenic ancient herbs. Benefits are physical rejuvenation, increased oxygenation of the blood and brain, protection against mental, emotional, and physical stress, and weight management.

Revitaphi and other high-quality, filler-free superfood powders play a critical part in the mainstream diet of today. Benefits can be similar if not better than taking a whole food multi-vitamin, except they are easier to digest and assimilate and have a broader range of ingredients. It has been said by Gary Null, a doctor and international expert in health sciences and nutrition, that these superfood powders are crucial because they can help correct past deficiencies, meet today's nutritional needs, and ensure you have enough in your reserves for the future.

Six different herbs with adaptogenic properties are integrated into Revitaphi. These ancient herbs are Moringa Olifera, Indian Tulsi, Ashwaganda, Gotu Kola, Ginko Biloba, and Ho Shu Wu, also known as Fo-Ti. Adaptogens are plant-based foods that can help the body resist daily stresses, traumas, and fatigue. If you are tired, they can give you a boost, or if you are over-stimulated, they can help calm you're body down. Other ingredients that make Revitaphi stand out among other superfood green powders are it's full spectrum of probiotics and enzymes. These improve digestion and assimilation.

The Moringa Olifera plant is a small shrubby tree that has the ability to grow in harsh environments as well as the tropics. The World Vegetable Center in Taiwan identified it as the vegetable with the highest nutritional value among 120 other types of vegetables studied. The dried and powdered leaves are used in Revitaphi and contain 4-6 times as much calcium, 2 times as much magnesium, and 4 times more iron as spinach. In India, Moringa has been used to reduce child malnutrition in India.

Indian Tulsi is another Ayurvedic herb used in Revitaphi and is actually considered the number one adaptogen in the entire Ayurvedic system (10,000 herbs!). It is also known as Holy Basil. Ashwaganda is next and is an herb closely related to the Goji Berry and is often referred to as the ginseng of Ayurvedic medicine. It is generally regarded for its root. Ashwaganda is an herb that grows all over the world.

Gotu Kola and Ginko Biloba are two amazing brain foods found in Revitaphi. Gotu Kola can nourish the lobes of the brain as well as improve the memory. And Ginko Biloba can do very similar things for us. In fact bi-loba means two lobed. Ginko Biloba is among the last standing member of a type of tree that once dominated the earth. These trees are extremely hardy and can survive to be 1000's of years old. Revitaphi contains the leaves of the Ginko tree.

In China, Ho Shu Wu, or Fo-Ti is a highly prized adaptogenic herb. It is a de-stressor, an anti-aging herb, and a bliss-creating herb due to the amplification of neurotransmitters such as neuroepinephrine and dopamine.

There are many different ways you can easily incorporate Revitaphi into your daily diet. You can mix just 1/2 to 1 tablespoon into juice, water, coconut water, or a smoothie. You can sprinkle it on top of salads or soups, or you can create a salad dressing with it by blending it with avocado and/or oil, lemon juice, agave nectar, and some sea salt. Revitaphi can be stored at room temperature. - 16650
