Nutritional supplements is an excellent and
convenient source of vitamins and minerals you need for
your health and your wellbeing. Nature provides us with
all we need.
Sprouts rank as the freshest, most
nutritious of all vegetables available to the human
diet. By a process of natural transmutation, sprouted
foods acquire vastly improved digestibility and
nutritional qualities when compared to the seeds
(embryo) from which they are derived. Sprouts have been
part of the diet of many ancient races for thousands of
years as the sprouting process presents your digestive
system with highly available vitamins, minerals, enzymes
and other plant nutrients (phytonutrients) which, also
present in seeds, are not readily available to the body.
Many different plants are sprouted. These include
legumes, cereals and grains.
The main benefit of
sprouts in human nutrition is the incredible increase in
bioavailable proteins, vitamins minerals and enzymes,
resulting from the sprouting process. Essentially, as
the seed germinates, it uses up its energy (calories and
carbohydrates) to produce the basic elements which will
enable the plant to grow into a viable adult plant which
will be able to produce seed at the end of the cycle. It
follows then, that sprouts have a higher protein,
mineral and vitamin content than seeds, while having a
lower calorie and carbohydrate count. These changes in
the nutritional profile can be seen in the results of
experiments done in the USA:
Energy content – Calories | Decrease 15% |
Total carbohydrate content | |
Protein availability | Decrease 15% |
Calcium content | Increase 30% |
Potassium content | Increase 34% |
Sodium content | Increase 80% |
Iron content | Increase 690% |
Phosphorus content | Increase 40% |
Vitamin A content | Increase 56% |
Thiamine or Vitamin B1 | Increase 285% |
Riboflavin or Vitamin B2 | Increase 208% |
Niacin or Vitamin B3 | Increase 515% |
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) | Increase 256% |
Increase Infinite |
The increase in protein availability is of great
significance, as it is the benchmark indicator for the
nutritional value of a food. During sprouting the
carbohydrate molecules are broken down to allow the
absorption of atmospheric nitrogen and the synthesis of
amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of
proteins, and the resultant proteins are the most easily
digestible of all proteins available in food.
The
dramatic increase in the sodium content supports the
view that sprouted foods are nutritionally superior to
other foods. Sodium is essential to the digestive
process within the greater intestinal tract, and also
the elimination of carbon dioxide. Together with the
remarkable increase in vitamins, sodium has a material
contribution to the digestibility of sprouts.
The
main benefit of sprouts in human nutrition is the
incredible increase in bioavailable proteins, vitamins,
minerals and enzymes, resulting from the sprouting
process.
Dried grains and seeds do not contain
discernible traces of ascorbic acid. Yet when sprouted
they exhibit significant quantities which are essential
to the body’s ability to metabolise proteins. The
infinite increase in ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is
derived from the absorption of atmospheric elements
during growth.
In addition to the above benefits,
a number of biochemical processes enhance the
bioavailability of sprouts. The sprouting process breaks
down the enzyme inhibitor which is found in seeds. This
allows the activity of enzymes such as amylase and
lipase which simplify the sugars, proteins and fats to
enable easier digestion. Furthermore sprouting reduces
oligosaccharides by 90%. They are responsible for the
gas producing qualities of seeds.
The special
production process used by our producer ensures that
none of the intrinsic nutritional properties of the
original sprout are lost or reduced. When the (sprout)
powder is reconstituted in body fluids, all of the
original plant nutrients (the enzymes, minerals,
vitamins and sterols/sterolins) are present and are over
95% bioavailable.
