Dear Health Conscious Reader,
In a perfect world, you’d be able to get all the nutrients you need from the food you eat.
But, we don’t live in a perfect world. There’s the problem.
Vegetables which used to give us vital nutrition are losing their power, and we’re all feeling the effects.
One of the main reasons is because commercial growers are planting too many vegetables in too small of an area.
You can’t plant 10,000 vegetables in a space where there should be only 100 and expect them to have the same nutritional value. There just aren’t enough micronutrients to go around. This is called the dilution effect.1
And that’s only one of the factors that have caused the nutrient content of vegetables to get so low.
There are also fewer minerals in the soil we grow crops in. The gigantic farms that grow most of our produce use powerful fertilizers that practically sterilize the soil – leaving it with very little for the vegetables to absorb.
Even the seeds they use to plant your food have been genetically modified to grow faster and bigger, and so they retain more water and fewer nutrients.2
This is important to growers because they can grow big, pretty vegetables and fruits that they can speed to the shelves of your local grocery store. This is a disaster for you, because you’re eating dark, leafy greens that are little more than carbohydrates and water.

In fact, the average mineral content of vegetables – like cabbage and spinach – has gone down more than 80% in the past 50 years.
As you can see in this chart, from 1963 to 2000 the vitamin C levels in collards have gone down over 60%, and the magnesium content
has gone down over 80%! I also found evidence that shows the calcium level in broccoli has gone from 130 mg in 1950 to only 48 mg today!3These essential nutrients would help detoxify your body, provide your cells with energy, and help control hormone production – if they were in today’s foods.
Fifty years ago, getting enough of these nutrients wouldn’t be much of a problem. But now, you’d have to eat 10 servings of spinach to get the same level of vitamins and minerals from just one serving back then.4
But there is something you can do about it.
I recommend you choose organically grown produce whenever you can. Organic fruits and vegetables remain the most nutrient-dense. They’re grown using better fertilizer and in less quantities than commercial brands to help retain essential vitamins and minerals. And they’re readily available at most natural food stores like Whole Foods.
While I’d like you to get most of your nutrition from the food you eat, I know it can be difficult.
If you find that your 5-7 daily servings of fruits and vegetables aren’t giving you what you need, I suggest taking a supplement.
Keep in mind that not all supplements are the same. It’s crucial that your supplement is natural and derived from real food, not a synthetic, chemical version.
I’ve created a natural ”super food” that’s easy for your body to digest and allows for absorption of the powerful nutrients your diet is missing. It’s my Ultra Greens formula.
I take it every morning. This super supplement has all 71 minerals your body needs every day.
Plus, I’ve also added over 40 other nutrients to Ultra Greens designed to boost your energy levels and give you a single source of total nutrition. Here’s just a partial list of what you’ll find:
- 12 green super foods including spirulina and chlorophyll that help detoxify and nourish your body with vitamins and minerals
- 3 essential fibers
- 12 healing herbs
- 6 energy-dense sea vegetables
- Probiotic growth factor (critical for digestion and nutrient absorption)
I’ve been using Ultra Greens with my patients, too. I’ve watched it improve cardiovascular health and repair and detoxify the liver. And combat fatigue by boosting the immune system to help revitalize, energize, and rejuvenate their bodies.
