that makes them a rich source of omega-3s. Martek goes right to the source,
producing an oil from microalgae that is rich in DHA/EPA, delivering
important brain, eye and heart benefits.

MaQBerry® – The Only Standardized Macquiberry Extract
Maquiberry, native to the pristine lands of Patagonia in South America, is a brilliant black colored berry that has been used for centuries
by the local Mapuche Indians for its medicinal properties. Today, biological science has rediscovered the benefits of the Makewelawen,
or maquiberry remedy. The high anthocyanin content, excellent polyphenol profile and extraordinary antioxidant capacity make
maquiberry the ultimate superfruit, with an ORAC value that tops the charts (highest among the known superfruits). Now, through
advanced separation techniques, South Pole BioGroup has pioneered a better berry extract – MaQBerry! Their unique process
concentrates the juice from the fresh, hand-picked maquiberries, boosting the antioxidant power way beyond that of other currently
available extract powders. More importanly perhaps, this highly concentrated extract is standardized so you will always get the extact
polyphenol, anthocyanin and ORAC levels you expect. The benefits of MaQBerry include:
•
•
•
•
Top ORAC - the highest antioxidant capacity in the most concentrated form.
Highely purified - free from unnecessary impurities, facilitating smoother processing and better finished product.
Life-available - truly water soluble polyphenols with intact biological activity due to the mild extraction process.
Kosher certified; organic certified available.
MaQBerry is available in two standardized potencies - 1) MaQBerry (1x) in powder and liquid forms; equivalent to the fresh berry, and
2) Gold MaQBerry (15x times more powerful - in powder form). Regular maquiberry powder in 1x and 3x potencies are also available.

Organic Super Greens - The New Superheros of Health!
These brightly hued super foods are undeniably the new superheros of health. Super greens are phytonutrient-rich products derived from green plants,
algae, and cereal grasses. They pack a powerful punch, containing high concentrations of nutrients including protein, vitamins, minerals, amino acids,
beta-carotene, and carotenoids. Green super foods act as potent antioxidants and immune boosters, plus they contain a host of other health supporting
nutrients.
Spirulina is nature’s perfect Super food. It is a specific form of Blue Green Algae containing both
chlorophyll (green) and phycocyanin (blue) pigments. The complete food of the future:
• Spirulina contains 60 – 70% complete protein (the highest protein content of any other
natural food, even surpassing beef - 22% protein).
• Spirulina contains all the essential amino acids, vitamins, impressive levels of iron, essential trace
minerals, phyto nutrients, Gamma Lineolic Acid (GLA) and beta carotene.
• Spirulina is the richest beta carotene food with mixed carotenoids and contains the key “cis” isomer
which is absent in synthetic beta carotene.
Spirulina is highly bio-available and is an easy way to help get your 5 – 9 servings of fruits and vegetables
per day.
Spirulina - nature’s perfect
super food.
Wheat Grass is the young fertile grass that is rich in nutrients, with high concentrations of chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, beta
carotene, fiber, and antioxidants.
• Wheat Grass contains more vitamin C than oranges, and has twice as much vitamin A as carrots.
• One teaspoon (3g) of Wheat Grass is nutritionally the same as eating a large spinach salad, but is higher in fiber, vitamins, minerals, amino acids,
and enzymes.
• Wheat Grass contains essential enzymes such as protease, oxidase, amylase, lipase, transhydrogenase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD).
It is thought that wheat grass may aid in blood flow, building healthy red blood cells, healthy digestion, and general detoxification.
Barley Grass is another of the cereal grass family. Like Wheat Grass, Barley Grass contains high amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids,
chlorophyll, beta carotene, and antioxidants.
• Barley Grass is easily digested in the body, so it is quickly bio-available.
• Barley Grass contains high levels of protein as compared to milk (3%), eggs (10%), and beef (22%).
• Barley Grass is also high in organic sodium. Organic sodium keeps calcium in solution in the blood stream and helps to dissolve calcium in
the joints.
People with dehydration issues and arthritis, may benefit from the use of Barley Grass.
Alfalfa is not part of the super nutrient rich cereal grass family, however, it is a close cousin and shares many of the same characteristics.
• Alfalfa contains easily digestible forms of vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E and K.
• Alfalfa also contains minerals such as magnesium calcium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium.
• Alfalfa is also high in fiber, phytonutrients, and antioxidants.
Spirulina and Chlorella are available as straight powders or finished tablets, and can be offered as conventional or organic (certified by NOP, EEC, & JAS).
Wheat Grass, Barley Grass and Alfalfa are available as straight powders or concentrated juice powders. They are particularly well suited for beverage
applications (especially the concentrated juice powders) as well as tablets and capsules. They are also available as organically certified.
All of the above products are Kosher and Halal certified and are produced in GMP facilities under strict quality guidelines. If you would like more
