Microgreens: Nutrient Powerhouses
Microgreens are the younger versions of mature plants, harvested within 1-2 weeks of planting at their peak nutrient density. Studies have shown that microgreens can have up to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts, specifically with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Unlike your typical greens powder, EMPWR+ is made with functional, superfood broccoli microgreens. Because microgreens are such nutrient powerhouses, the amount of certain nutrients from the microgreens in one serving of EMPWR+ is equivalent to over one pound of mature broccoli! 1
Sulforaphane Combats Chronic Inflammation
Inflammation is part of your bodyâs natural defense mechanism. However, chronic inflammatory diseases which are caused by irregular regulation of inflammation in the body, are the most significant cause of death in the world. 3 out of 5 people worldwide die due to chronic inflammatory diseases like stroke, heart diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, obesity, diabetes, and cancer. 2
Because of this, weâve packed EMPWR+ with ingredients that help combat inflammation. Sulforaphane, found in the highest concentration in broccoli microgreens, has been shown to significantly reduce inflammatory responses in the body, leading to reduced fatigue and risk of death by chronic inflammatory diseases. 3
Lionâs Mane and Brain Function
Lionâs Mane mushroom has been used for thousands of years both as food and as medicine in Asian countries. More recently, Lionâs Mane has seen a revival in its usage in the West due to its significant benefits to cognitive function and brain health.
By stimulating the production of nerve growth factor, this functional superfood is able to enhance memory and focus, even leading to higher cognitive test results in some clinical trials. In order to do the extraordinary, you need to keep your brain sharp. Thatâs why EMPWR+ is loaded with this âsmart mushroomâ to ensure that you can be your best, most refined self. 4
The Importance of Longevity
Longevity refers not only to just living longer, but also increasing the amount of time that is spent in ideal, high quality life conditions. To enhance longevity, we need to slow the detrimental effects of aging. 5
These effects include cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. Broccoli microgreens and lionâs mane mushrooms have both been shown to reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimerâs and Parkinsonâs by either reducing inflammation or stimulating nerve cell growth in the brain. 6
