While that all sounds great what exactly does it mean? Unless you have done extensive studying or have an advanced degree in nutrition or biochemistry it probably sounds like a bunch of marketing blah blah blah. So I thought I'd take a few moments and explain what they each mean and why you need them.
There are more than 70 different ingredients that were chosen from around the world for their potency (strength) and bioavailability (the ability of your body to absorb them). Here are the key nutrient groups that these ingredients deliver:
Antioxidants, Phytonutrients and
AdaptogensProtein and Essential Amino Acids
Shakeology includes whey protein isolate, an easily absorbable source of high-quality protein that's ideal for building and maintaining lean muscle mass. Essential amino acids (the ones that you must get from your diet/nutrition because your body cannot make them on its own) help the body repair muscle tissue and heal wounds; support the brain to promote calmness and alertness; and reduce hunger pangs. The whey protein in Shakeology provides a highly bioavailable source of all 9 essential amino acids plus many other important amino acids as well. This combination works to:
Support brain function to help promote alert thinking and reduce anxiety
Promote healthy skin, hair, and nails
Prebiotics and Digestive Enzymes
Shakeology contains many ingredients that are beneficial to the digestive system. Prebiotics, natural components of certain plants, help support the "friendly" bacteria in your digestive tract. They may also help with the absorption of minerals such as calcium. Digestive enzymes, from plant sources such as pineapples and papayas, help your body break down food into its individual components, making the nutrients easier to absorb. Cooking can destroy food's natural digestive enzymes, so there's a good chance that you don't get enough of them in your diet.
Antioxidants and Phytonutrients
Many of Shakeology's fruit and vegetable sources have been chosen for their high concentration of healthy natural substances known as phytonutrients. The term "phyto" originated from a Greek word meaning plant. These substances have antioxidant properties, meaning they help get rid of molecules known as free radicals, which damage cells and may be a key component of the aging process. In laboratory tests, phytonutrients have shown promise in helping prevent a wide variety of degenerative conditions. What's more, studies suggest that the natural mix of phytochemicals you get from whole-plant sources is more effective than taking them individually as nutritional supplements.
Potentially decrease the risk of
degenerative diseasesAdaptogens
An adaptogen is an herbal product that is distinct from other substances in its ability to increase the body's resistance to stress by providing valuable support in coping with the pressures placed by both the internal and external stressors. As such, adaptogens are a vital component to human health. Adaptogens were classified by the ancient Chinese as the most effective plants to:
23 Vitamins and Minerals
Most of us don't get the complete range of essential vitamins and minerals in our daily diets. Some important vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, are water-soluble, meaning they're flushed out of your body after a short time and need to be replenished regularly. Others, like vitamin E, can be difficult to get enough of in food. Shakeology provides all these nutrients in an easy-to-take, easily absorbable form, so you never have to worry.
