Elements for Life, a 100% raw organic superfood company, has come together with Dr. Jameth Sheridan, founder of Healthforce Nutritionals, to create Revitaphi. Adding this superfood green powder to your diet can make getting in all those super vegetables, super herbs, and more into your diet easy and convenient. Revitaphi is an organic and wild-crafted
(meaning beyond organic) food containing over 21 raw, dried, and powdered foods in addition to enzymes, probiotics, and six incredible ancient herbs known for their adaptogenic properties. Benefits of this superfood are an increased body PH, a higher flow of oxygen to the blood and brain, a buffer of stress protection, weight management, a feeling of rejuvenation, and an increase in physical energy.

Superfood powders like these play a huge role in today's mainstream diet. High quality products without fillers are a lot like taking a multi-vitamin--except they're not synthetic; they're made entirely from real food. Gary Null, Ph.D., international expert in nutrition and health sciences, has said that these superfood powders are critical because they're the only way you can reverse deficiencies of the past, make sure that you have enough for today, and build up your reserves for the future.

Six different herbs with adaptogenic properties are integrated into Revitaphi. These ancient herbs are Moringa Olifera, Indian Tulsi, Ashwaganda, Gotu Kola, Ginko Biloba, and Ho Shu Wu, also known as Fo-Ti. Adaptogens are plant-based foods that can help the body resist daily stresses, traumas, and fatigue. If you are tired, they can give you a boost, or if you are over-stimulated, they can help calm you're body down. Other ingredients that make Revitaphi stand out among other superfood green powders are it's full spectrum of probiotics and enzymes. These improve digestion and assimilation.

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 foods found in Revitaphi. Gotu Kola can nourish the lobes of the brain as well as improve the memory. And Ginko Biloba can do very similar things for us. In fact bi-loba means two lobed. Ginko Biloba is among the last standing member of a type of tree that once dominated the earth. These trees are extremely hardy and can survive to be 1000's of years old. Revitaphi contains the leaves of the Ginko tree.

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.

There are many different ways you can easily incorporate Revitaphi into your daily diet. You can mix just 1/2 to 1 tablespoon into juice, water, coconut water, or a smoothie. You can sprinkle it on top of salads or soups, or you can create a salad dressing with it by blending it with avocado and/or oil, lemon juice, agave nectar, and some sea salt. Revitaphi can be stored at room temperature.
