Amaranth - Contains a lot of fibre and proteins, and also contains lysine
and methionine, two amino acids seldom found in cereals. Amaranth also contains
large quantities of calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, vitamins A and C, and
tocotrienol. This is a form of vitamin E that reduces cholesterol, and mainly contains
unsaturated fats rich in linolenic acid. This acid, in turn, benefits the heart.
Buckwheat - Good source of phosphorus, beta-carotene, vitamin C, calcium,
magnesium, potassium, zinc, manganese, folic acid and essential amino acids.
Buckwheat consists of outstanding vegetable protein, that strengthens capillaries and
removes toxins. Contains eight essential amino acids.

Spelt - An outstanding source of vitamins B2 and B3 and insoluble fibre.
Vitamin B2 is a nutrient that improves the metabolism in the brain and in the muscle
cells. Efficient metabolism can help to reduce the risk of migraines in those people
prone to them. Vitamin B3 provides a number of benefits that help to prevent
cardiovascular problems, and also helps to reduce the risk of blood clots. Insoluble
fibre is good for digestion, because the food passes through the intestines faster,
reducing the risk of gallstone formation and increasing insulin sensitivity.
Barley - Good source of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium,
zinc, manganese, vitamin B complex and folic acid. Barley is beneficial to the intestinal
tract and the liver. It has also been discovered that barley has a beneficial effect on
stomach ulcers, and helps reduce cholesterol level in the blood.

Oat seed - Good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus,
manganese, vitamin B5, folic acid and silicic acid. Useful in dietary treatments,
gastritis and diarrhoea.
Millet - Good source of magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and vitamin B3.
Millet is naturally free from gluten, is easily digested and is not allergenic.
Pumpkin seed - Good source of calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, the
entire vitamin B complex, phosphorus, potassium and essential omega 3 fatty acids.
Can relieve prostate troubles and removes intestinal parasites.

Kamut - Rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc,
copper and manganese. Also rich in vitamins Bl, B2, B3, B6, vitamin E, pantothenic
acid and folic acid, amino acids and selenium. Selenium is important for synthesising
many of the enzymes and proteins that are needed for metabolism in the cells.
Selenium also protects the cells from the damaging effects of heavy metals, especially
arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead.
Linseed - An outstanding source of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.
Good source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B3, iron and vitamin E.
Reduces inflammation, acts as a laxative, removes toxic waste products in the
intestines and also helps against asthma.

Quinoa - Good source of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium
and vitamin B3. Quinoa contains more calcium than milk, is easily digested, is free
of gluten and contains lysine, which kills viruses.
Sunflower seeds - Good source of vitamins A, B, D, E, and K, calcium,
iron, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, magnesium and essential fatty acids.
Contains pectin, which removes toxic substances such as heavy metals and helps
Improve vision and sensitivity to light.

Sesame seed - Good source of calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc,
vitamin E, folic acid, phosphorus, potassium, copper, selenium and essential fatty acids.
Is beneficial to the cardiovascular system, contains antioxidants and helps inhibit
the cholesterol uptake in the blood.
Fibre mixture - a mixture of apple pectin, apple fibre, oatbran and citrus fibre.
Apple fibre The importance of fibre in the digestion process has been
known for a long time. A fibre-rich diet is recommended to ensure optimal function
of the intestinal system. Apple fibre has a positive effect, and also regulates the levels
of cholesterol and sugar in the blood. Apple fibre also satisfies hunger so it can be
used in weight control programmes.

Inulin fibre Inulin is a soluble fibre that is extracted from chicory root.
Inulin is not broken down by the body's enzymes, and reaches the large intestine
unchanged. Once there, it stimulates the growth of beneficial bifi-dobacteria, which
then inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria.
Apple pectin is known to bind cholesterol and acid in the
small intestine, and has a positive effect on the cholesterol level in the blood.

Organic Barley of Sweden - This is produced from organically pre-sprouted
barley, and contains a high proportion of complex carbohydrates and betaglucans,
thereby ensuring that the glycemic index is low. Complex carbohydrates keep the
blood sugar at a more constant level, thereby promoting a feeling of wellbeing and
providing more sustained energy levels. Organic, Swedish-cultivated barley has a
high content of fibre (10.8 g fibre/100 g of product). Beneficial fibre further retards
the carbohydrates, strengthens the immunolo-gical system and reduces the cholesterol
levels in the blood.
Konjac root - The konjac root mostly contains glu-comannan, which is a
natural nutrient consisting completely of fibre and one that is completely free of calories.
When the konjac root is placed in water, it can swell up to 17 times its original size.
For this reason, only small quantities of konjac root are used in order to satisfy hunger.
Konjac root is also used in weight-reduction programmes. Furthermore, a number of
scientific studies have shown that the konjac root reduces the cholesterol levels in
the blood, relieves constipation and regulates the blood sugar levels

Cinnamon powder - Made from cinnamon bark, cinnamon powder contains
ether oil with the main component being cinnamaldehyde. The ether oil stimulates the
heart, respiration, intestinal processes, secretion of sweat and the production of gastric
juices. It also kills bacteria and fungi, and removes worms. Cinnamon also includes a
catechin that counteracts nausea.
Turmeric powder - Made from turmeric, turmeric powder contains
curcuminoids and ether oil. Pharmacological studies have shown that curcuminoids
have a major inhibiting effect on inflammation. Curcuminoids and ether oil also
stimulate bile production and bile flow, which is necessary to prevent the formation
of gallstones, and they also stimulate the production of gastric juices (necessary
for digestion). Turmeric is primarily used in the dietary treatment of acute or chronic
inflammations in joints, muscles and other organs. It can also be used as a spice
to stimulate the appetite and the production of gastric juices.
