FrequenSea™—A Super Food

FrequenSea™“The elements in Marine Phytoplankton are tailor-made for the human body. Over-reliance on land-based foods often leads to deficiencies in micronutrients and trace elements our bodies need to perform at optimal levels. I was delighted to discover FrequenSea with Marine Phytoplankton and all its other remarkable ingredients.” ~ Dr. Tennant M.D.

Have you ever wanted to find one supplement that would really do it all? And with my love of the ocean, I think I might have found the one for me. Did you know that Jacques Cousteau once said, “The future of nutrition is found in the oceans?” I believe it! Since I began taking FrequenSea, my energy levels have really increased. I feel more alert. I just have a better over-all mood and energy level.
To understand how FrequenSea works, we have to understand the difference between nutrition found on land and that found in the sea. And to understand that, we must understand Marine Phytoplankton. Hugo Rodier, M.D. explains:
“Plankton are tiny open-water plants, animals or bacteria that range in size from a huge jellyfish to microscopic bacteria. Plankton is derived from the Greek root that means ‘wanderer or floating life.’ The micronutrients and electrolytes in plankton are exactly what cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism. Consider the fact that the composition of human plasma, the fluid surrounding cell membranes, is similar to that of seawater. Recall that both humans and our earth are relatively the same composition of water, about seventy percent. The micronutrients which fuel our bodies—when lacking—will ultimately lead to the decline of our health and well-being.”

The high density of nutrients found in algae or phytoplankton is important for many reasons, but especially the maintenance of cell membranes in structure and function. Good nutrition will allow for the optimal functioning of our bodies, including mental function and the structure and function of our organs. What is important to realize is that the origins of most diseases occur on this cellular level. Algae or phytoplankton contains high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory micronutrients to fuel metabolism and detoxification. In addition, FrequenSea has added other high-performing micronutrients to its unique formula that enhance our body’s different systems. FrequenSea contains Marine Phytoplankton specially blended with Frankincense, Astaxanthin, Ionic Sea Minerals, aloe vera and sea vegetables. It is carried in cranberry and blueberry concentrates with a twist of lime. It actually is quite tasty. I take a drink when I first come to work. This is a great product and I want to take it for the rest of my life! – SLM

Puroast Low Acid Coffee

Puroast Low Acid Coffee

I love the smell of coffee in the morning or on a rainy winter afternoon when the weather “forces” me to stay indoors with a good book and a hot beverage. I enjoy the taste of coffee, too—and the lift it gives me on sluggy days isn’t a bad perk either. On most occasions, however, when the opportunity arises to indulge in that mug of Joe, I have to decline. Although my taste buds (and sometimes my brain synapses) may cry out “café!,” the effects of regular coffee on my digestive system has made java drinking a thing of the past for me. Like twenty-five percent of the U.S. population, I am adversely affected by beverage acidity, including acid in coffee. Now there could be an alternative. For myself and the 54 million other Americans who suffer from stomach sensitivity of one form or another, low acid coffee is the hottest thing to hit the market since Roast Aroma.

But do these products really live up to their name? I know one brand that does. When I came across a package of Puroast Low Acid Coffee, I decided to put it to the ultimate test. I came to work one morning that same week with an empty, grumbling stomach, grog in my eyes (it must have been press time) and that package of Puroast. When the coffee had finished brewing, I poured myself a mug. Then I sat back, relaxed as best I could, and sipped. Puroast coffee was rich in taste. Impressive. Then I braced myself for the attack—the usually bout of stomach spasms, cramping, heartburn. To my surprise, there was none. I enjoyed that cup of smooth-tasting coffee until the very last drop. My taste buds were satisfied, my mind had kicked in to gear, and my gut was no worse for the wear. I learned later that the process that Puroast uses to take away the acidity in their coffee by fifty percent is all-natural as well.

“Our patented Puroast Process does not manipulate the coffee beans, whether through an extraction method or by using additives,” says Kerry Sachs, Puroast CEO and the inventor of the patented Puroast Process. Yummy taste, eye-opening smell, low acid and no chemical additives—Puroast, you have made a believer out of me! -NLP www.puroast.com
