Rejuventate with Revitaphi Superfood and Six Adapotgenic Herbs

By Lenette Nakauchi

Revitaphi is a 100% raw, organic, and wild-crafted supergreen powder distributed by Elements for Life. It was created by the founder of Healthforce Nutritionals by Dr. Jameth Sheridan and can make getting in all your veggies, herbs, and more into your diet a snap. Revitaphi is a superfood containing raw, or unheated, dried, and powdered down land vegetables such as barley grass, nettle leaf, broccoli, and parsely. It also contains wildcrafted aquatic vegetables such as kelp, dulse, and laver, and most uniquely, it contains six different and hard to come across adaptogenic herbs. The benefits of incorporating Revitaphi into your diet are increased oxygen to the blood and brain, protection against physical, emotional, and mental stressors, weight management, and all around rejuvenation.

Green superfood supplements like Revitaphi play a crucial role in today's mineral deficient standard American Diet. Products like these that are the highest in quality without fillers such as lecithin, apple pectin, apple fiber, brown rice germ, barley malt, are a lot like taking a while-food multivitamin. International expert in nutrition and health sciences Gary Null, has commented that these super green food powders are vital because they're the only way to reverse nutritional deficiencies of the past, to make sure you're getting enough nutrition for today, and the build your nutritional reserves for tomorrow.

Because it does not contain the high protein superfoods spirulina and chlorella, Revitaphi is extra alkalizing. What also makes it stand out among other superfood blends is it's incorporation of six adaptogenic herbs: Moringa Olifera, Indian Tulsi, Ashwaganda, Gotu Kola, Ginko Biloba, and Ho Shu Wu, a medicinal mushroom also known as Fo-Ti. Revitaphi also includes a full spectrum blend of 40 probiotics and enzymes. Herbalists refer to adaptogens as plants foods that are able to increase the body's protection against stress, trauma, and fatigue as well as fill other gaps that that body needs. If in the morning, you need more energy, adaptogenic herbs can provide that; if in the evening, you need to wind down and relax, adaptogenic herbs can help there as well.

The Moringa Olifera plant is a small shrubby tree that has the ability to grow in harsh environments as well as the tropics. The World Vegetable Center in Taiwan identified it as the vegetable with the highest nutritional value among 120 other types of vegetables studied. The dried and powdered leaves are used in Revitaphi and contain 4-6 times as much calcium, 2 times as much magnesium, and 4 times more iron as spinach. In India, Moringa has been used to reduce child malnutrition in India.

Indian Tulsi is another Ayurvedic herb used in Revitaphi and is actually considered the number one adaptogen in the entire Ayurvedic system (10,000 herbs!). It is also known as Holy Basil. Ashwaganda is next and is an herb closely related to the Goji Berry and is often referred to as the ginseng of Ayurvedic medicine. It is generally regarded for its root. Ashwaganda is an herb that grows all over the world.

Gotu Kola and Ginko Biloba are two amazing brain food adaptogens. Gotu Kola has been found to nourish the brain and improve memory and Ginko Biloba's name literally means two lobes, bi-loba. Ginko Biloba trees can live for thousands of years and are actually the last surviving member of a family of trees to once dominate the planet. Because this tree is so hardy, it is a true adaptogen. The leaves, as opposed to the nut, are what is used in Revitaphi.

In China, Ho Shu Wu, or Fo-Ti is a highly prized adaptogenic herb. It is a de-stressor, an anti-aging herb, and a bliss-creating herb due to the amplification of neurotransmitters such as neuroepinephrine and dopamine.

It's easy to add in a superfood such as Revitaphi into your daily routine. You can add it to juices, water, coconut water, green smoothies, or fruit smoothies. You can sprinkle it on top of your salad and soups. Or you can make a salad dressing using some Revitaphi, oil or avocado, agave nectar, lemon juice, and a dash of salt. 1/2 to 1 tablespoon is plenty per serving. Revitaphi is stored at room termperature, no need to keep it in the fridge.
