Spirulina is natures richest whole food source of the entire anti-oxidant spectrum. It is the only source of Phycocyanin which is an immune stimulant.
It also contains Vitamin E, Selenium, Methionine, Cysteine, Super Oxide Dismutase better known as (S.O.D.), Copper, Manganese, and Zinc. It contains B complex B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, and B12.
Spirulina is natures richest whole food source of Bio-chelated Organic Iron. It is 58 times richer than raw spinach and 28 times richer than raw beef liver. It is nature's richest whole food source of Beta Carotene (Pro-vitamin A), it is 25 times richer than raw carrots.
Spirulina is also natures richest whole-food source of GLA and Chlorophyll, as well as complete High Biological Value Protein.
Spirulina is also a good source of natural enzymes. Enzymes are vital to health because they help to release the valuable nutrients from foods which nourish our bodies.
Soya Beans
The soya beans in Immunity Fuel are certified organic, they are not genetically modified and they are fermented in the formula for 3 weeks so the proteins, which some people are sensitive to, are broken down or pre-digested by the bacteria so don't cause an issue.
The many health benefits of soybeans comes from the wealth of nutrients, vitamins, organic compounds, and other nutrients including a significant amount of dietary fiber and a very large 26% protein, the most protein of any plant.
In terms of vitamins, soybeans contains vitamin K, riboflavin, folate, vitamin B6, thiamin, and Vitamin C.
As for minerals, soybeans contain significant amounts of iron, manganese, phosphorous, copper, potassium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and calcium.
Soy is also a good source of organic compounds and antioxidants, and is the only vegetable that contains all 8 essential amino acids.
Soya beans are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential to help reduce heart disease and cancer.
Flax Seeds (Linseed)
Flax seeds are one of the richest known sources of Omega 3 and Omega 6 which are essential fatty acids that the body needs to get from the foods we eat.
Linseed is also a good source of fibre, is a known cholesterol lowering agent and is a rich source of lignans which is a type of phytoestrogen which may protect against cancer particularly breast and prostrate cancer.
Flaxseed is rich in protein and especially rich in Omega 3.
Chickpeas
Chickpeas are an excellent vegan and gluten-free source of protein and fiber, and contain exceptional levels of iron, vitamin B-6 and magnesium.
They also contain amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, iron, phosphate, magnesium manganese, zinc, calcium, copper, potassium, silenium, folate and vitamins A, C and K many of which contribute to building and maintaining bone structure and strength.
The high fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B-6 content all support heart health.
Chickpeas contain significant amounts of fiber, which helps lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood. Most of the fiber in chickpeas is insoluble fiber, which is great for digestive health.
Red Lentils
Lentils are an excellent source of molybdenum and folate. They are a very good source of dietary fiber, copper, phosphorus and manganese.
Additionally they are a good source of iron, protein, vitamin B1, pantothenic acid, zinc, potassium and vitamin B6.

Lentils also provide good to excellent amounts of seven important minerals, B-vitamins, and protein - all with virtually no fat. They contain just 230 calories for a whole cup of cooked lentils, so fill you up without the weight gain.
Lentils can also increase your energy by replenishing your iron stores.
Brown Rice
Brown Rice is referred to as natures most perfect food. Two thirds of the world's population have rice as its staple food source, and brown rice is the least processed therefore the highest in nutrient value.
Brown Rice is rich in Magnesium, Manganese, Copper, Fibre, Iron, Niacin, Phosphorus, Thiamin, Folate, Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, Vitamin E, Potassium, Selenium, Zinc, and is rich in Carbohydrates, Protein and Enzymes (much of this is removed when processed into white rice, so brown rice is much more nutritionally beneficial).
The high magnesium content is good for your heart, for regulating blood pressure and offsetting sodium in the body.
Brown rice contains 88 percent of the recommended daily amount of manganese which is an important mineral that helps digest fats. The high fibre content helps keep bowel movements regular, reducing constipation, and helps keep bowels healthy, and may even reduce cholesterol.
Brown rice contains protein for energy, and is a slow-release carbohydrate, which can help maintain blood sugar levels and keep energy consistent.
Brown Rice is a good source of selenium, which helps induce repair in damaged cells, and is a natural anti-oxidant and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
Adzuki Beans
Adzuki beans are a nutrient-dense food, providing a hefty amount of nutrients compared to their caloric content. They are a good food source of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc. They also contain B-vitamins, including B6, B2, B1, B3, and folic acid.
Adzuki beans are a good source of energy, promote regular bowel movements and help in lowering cholesterol.

These beans are ideal for weight-loss as they are low in fat and high in protein. The high-protein content makes you feel full for longer and the low-fat content helps in limiting calorie intake. They build up a strong metabolism that enables the body to quickly and efficiently metabolize food.
