PROTEIN


 

Protein is literally brain and body fuel. It provides energy for us to burn so we can be at our best both physically and mentally. Without it we can become fatigued and have depressive mental states.

Our feelings, moods and energy levels are controlled by neurons, which are nerve cells in the brain that communicate via chemical compounds called neurotransmitters. Dopamine and norepinephrine are two important neurotransmitters. They are known as ‘wake up’ chemicals and make us feel more motivated and energetic.

Proteins are the raw material needed for the production of these neurotransmitters. SuperFood Plus contains large amounts of protein, which is found mainly in the algae (chlorella and spirulina), but also in some of the other plants. 

Algae don’t have the ‘fats’ that come with meat and dairy proteins. Digesting these fats takes blood away from the brain, which will make you feel sluggish. 

Because the type of proteins found in SuperFood Plus do not require the more complex and energy-consuming processes needed to digest meat, eggs and dairy products, they can be more quickly utilized.

The need for protein can increase significantly when some kind of physical or mental healing needs to take place in the body, which is why so many people needing extra protein turn to SuperFood Plus – the alternative would be to eat excessive amounts of meat, eggs and dairy products!
