I have a few vegetarian friends, so imagine how happy I am to have finally found a good supplement for them to round out their diet. I take this supplement almost daily and actually recommend it for everyone, but vegetarians in particular stand to benefit.
While I won't endorse the grains, legumes, and some other stuff most Vegetarians eat, I heartily support their consumption of actual vegetables. Spinach, broccoli, sweet potato, squash, the list goes on and on. All yummy stuff. All certainly beneficial. But there are certain nutrients that are just not provided by the veggies and fruit and those nutrients are critical to health.
Luckily there is a manufacturing process most people are unaware of that harvests large amounts of green leafy plants (mostly grass) and concentrates their nutrients into an easy to take supplement. There's no way for a human to eat and digest this much plant material, so the concentration process is not just important, it's required.
But the best part is this supplement, unlike so many others, tastes great! I know, it's hard to imagine that the end product of processing that much grass into a supplement could taste good, but it does! And it tastes good in spite of the fact that the concentration ratios are approximately 1 to 1.5 pounds of leafy plant material for just a 10 gram supply of the supplement!
Unfortunately, this particular supplement is more difficult to find than most. I've never seen it in my supermarket or grocery store, nor is it stocked at GNC. You will either have to order it online, or find a local supplier who deals directly with the consumer. In some rare cases it is stocked in stores that specialize in higher-end foods, like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Sunflower, etc.
It comes in two primary forms, large solid pieces, and a ground-up version. If you receive your supplement in solid pieces, I recommend cutting it into portions of 6 to 10 ounces each, marinating in some simple spices and cooking it until the outside has browned but the inside remains pink. This can be done over a grill, or in a skillet with some butter.
If you receive a ground-up version then I suggest you slice a couple of onions and sweet potatos, cook those in a skillet with some coconut oil and add the supplement once the veggies are cooked. Cook the entire mixture until there is no pink left.
Recommended dosage is .5 to 1.5 pounds/day. If you are vegetarian you may notice renewed energy, better muscle tone, and a host of other improvements to your health.
If you decide to give it a shot, realize that you must verify that the supplement is produced from 100% grass processing. Some manufacturers produce a completely different product with a nearly identical name by processing grains as opposed to leafy greens. When searching for it online use a search term such as "Grass fed and finished beef" or ask your health food store if they have "100% grass fed and finished beef" to ensure you get the real deal. It's as easy as that!
Let me know how this supplement works out for you!
Just wanted to let you know, I started uncontrollably giggling about three paragraphs in--doubt some vegetarians will appreciate the news, though!

ReplyDeleteEven vegetarians should take health supplements to make sure that they are getting the right amount of nutrients for their bodies.
