您食用的維他命能被人體消化吸收嗎?



您可知坊間所見的維他命、礦物質錠是使用何種原料製成的嗎?全球幾億人口每天在食用營養補給品,但其中大部分的人所食用的是化學合成產品,其原料多來自石油和礦砂。由於化學結構的不同,人體細胞並無法吸收利用這些無機營養素。縱使價格便宜、食用方便,因為無法被人體吸收,攝取再多都是浪費!

亞美滋講求天然、純淨,鼓勵大家多吃新鮮、安全的蔬果一直是我們不變的堅持。我們也確信透過足夠、多元與均衡的全食物攝取,人體可以充分吸收所需的營養素,畢竟,食物營養密碼只儲存在大自然中。回歸自然、遵循大地法則,才是由根本做起的健康之道!

有鑑於忙碌的現代人,三餐講求快速、方便,常無法達到每日蔬果的應攝取量,因此亞美滋系列產品貼心的提供成分多元、純天然、無人工添加物的沖調飲品,補充現代人的蔬果營養素與膳食纖維。我們深信天然食材中的營養比化學合成的營養素更容易被人體吸收。

寒冬時節,請注意保暖!提醒您,亞美滋系列產品也適合溫飲喔!只要飲料的溫度不超過45度C,也就是可入喉的溫度,就不會有破壞營養素的疑慮了。

中秋節烤肉,別忘了補充蔬果喔!

中秋節將至,在此團圓日,您是否已準備好烤肉的食材與器具? 提醒您,吃燒烤食物切勿過量,烤焦黑的部分(=致癌物)也千萬別下肚喔!

根據研究發現,蔬果的高抗氧化物質有助於減少燒烤食物對身體的危害。貼心的提醒您,應景之餘,別忘了攝取蔬果平衡一下,或來杯亞美滋飲品 -- 最快、最安心,最方便的補給。天氣涼了,也可搭配溫飲(請勿超過50度以免破壞營養)調配。



亞美滋在此祝各位中秋佳節健康、愉快!

亞美滋系列產品不含起雲劑,請安心食用!

亞美滋系列產品為100%美國原裝進口,除了通過美國嚴格的食品安全法把關,也符合美國USDA及CCOF的有機認證規章。在生產過程中絕無添加起雲劑,或任何有違天然、自然法則之人工添加物。 

只要簡單的把產品加入水中,即可發現產品是無法溶解於水 的,放置半分鐘即產生許多產品纖維沉澱。這也就是銷售小姐總是需要貼心的提醒消費者 - "飲用前要攪拌或搖勻喔!" 


我們不改堅持,謝絕人工添加物,持續推廣天然有機的食物,而非商業目的的食品。健康之道在於你我的堅持!

近日來,國內塑化劑風暴引起消費者對食用產品有所疑慮。在此我們認為有必要讓消費者瞭解美國的有機法令,以消除愛用者的疑慮。CCOF的有機認證機構也採用與USDA同一標準。請造訪http://www.ccof.org/about.php。亞美滋系列產品完全不含人造合成添加物,敬請消費者放心、安心食用。

Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) of 1990.  The OFPA required the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop national standards for organically produced agricultural products to assure consumers that consistent, uniform standards.  The OFPA and the National Organic Program (NOP) regulations required that agricultural products labeled as organic originate from farms or handling operations certified by a State or private entity that has been accredited by USDA.

The NOP is a marketing program housed within the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.  Neither the OFPA nor the NOP regulations address food safety or nutrition.

What's in the NOP regulations?
國家有機條例有何規範?

Production and handling standards address organic crop production, wild crop harvesting, organic livestock management, and processing and handling of organic agricultural products.  Organic crops are raised without using most conventional pesticides, petroleum-based fertilizers, or sewage sludge-based fertilizers.  Animals raised on an organic operation must be fed organic feed and given access to the outdoors.  They are given no antibiotics or growth hormones.

針對有機農產品的規範從種植、收穫、儲存、以及生產流程管理皆有一定的標準。 有機作物生長不可使用殺蟲劑,石化提煉的肥料,或動物排泄物等高污染原之肥料。有機動物養殖則必須以有機食物餵養並使其可在戶外活動。飼養期間不可使用抗生素或生長激素。


The NOP regulations prohibit the use of genetic engineering, ionizing radiation, and seweage sludge in organic production and handling.  As a general rule, all natural (non-synthetic) substances are allowed in organic production and all synthetic substances are prohibited.


國家有機條例明訂在有機產品生產及過程管理中禁止使用/採用遺傳工程學、游離輻射、以及污穢爛泥等高汙染方式。總體而言,有機產品只能由全天然(非人造合成添加物)的食材組成,所有人造合成添加物都是被禁止的。

Ron's experience with Amazing Grass - United States

Product: Organic Wheat Grass Powder
My name is Ron and I'm a camera operator for CBS Sports and Nascar along with the other major networks. In Jan 2008, after a routine physical and extensive testing, I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hepatocellular Carcinoma or liver cancer. They found 3 tumors ranging from 2, 4 and 6 cm. The doctor apologized when he gave me the news and suggested I get my personal affairs in order and even with treatment, my future looked bleak. He said the average survival time was 6 to 12 months.

I learned about Amazing Grass from my brother and sister- in-law, they had read about your product and suggested I check it out so in March 2008, I started using your product mixed with one of the green juices available at the grocery stores, and I took it 3 times a day along with a fiber supplement. My next blood test was about 3 weeks after starting the wheat grass and my AFP level had dropped a condiderable amount. Normal levels of this protein are 0-10 and mine was over 3,000 in Jan 2008. I decided to seek conventional treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Research Center in Houston ,Tx., from urgings from relatives that had worked and retired from there. Every trip to Houston revealed that my AFP levels were dropping rapidly and they knew it had to have something to do with my diet changes which includes the wheat grass. I had spot chemo in 2 of the 3 tumors the first week of July 2008 and the day before chemo, they did the usual blood tests to make sure I was healthy enough to withstand the proceedure. They were amazed that my AFP level was now at 30, almost in the normal range. They explained that although the cancer was still there, it was not happy and thriving.

To make a long story short, I educated myself about the human body and cancer by reading many books and made other changes to my diet. I did not see any doctors until March 2009 when I decided to seek a second opinion at a new cancer center that opened in Phx. My scans were done on March 9th, 2009 and I met with my Oncologist on the 10th which was supposed to outline my therapy. After reading my scan results in medical terms I couldn't understand, he looked me in the eyes and said my cancer was gone. All that remained was scar tissue where the 3 tumors were located! The doctor also told me that normally, they would have me scheduled for a follow up appointment but in my case he didn't recommend any further treatment and told me to stay on my diet for the rest of my life. He was the first Oncologist that I met that believed my diet was responsible for my miraculous recovery. God Bless everyone having any major illness and just know that the human body can heal itself if you keep the bad things out and put good things in and I highly recommend Amazing Grass Wheat Grass! It helped save my life. I'm in my mid 50's and have 4 wonderful children that deserve to have their father around for a bit longer. Thanks for giving me this chance!

I'm a professional trombone player and have toured with Michael Bolton. His pianist introduced me to your products and has told me all about the benefits of wheat grass. I was diagnosed with cancer three years ago at the age of 26 and am starting to try lots more alternative things now as the normal Chemotherapy hasn't yet completely gotten rid of my hodgkins disease. I've read all about wheat grass in every cancer book there is and seen a nutritionist who has recommended it too. I look forward to my shipment so I can put it to the test. Thanks so much for selling this stuff by the way - it's hard to come by!!

Alda Quintanilla - San Mateo, CA

Product: Organic Wheat Grass Powder
Amazing Grass is truly amazing! I am undergoing chemotherapy and taking a lot of medications with side affects (at least 12 pills/day). One of the worst side affects is the fatigue and weakness that I have felt almost on a daily basis. I even had to quit physical therapy because of the fatigue. There had even been times that the frustration of not being able to do normal activities would make me break down and cry, leaving my boyfriend feeling helpless. One day he told me about Amazing Grass wheat grass powder that you just mix with juice or water. It’s supposed to help your immune system and increase your energy levels. His friend was currently using it and was going to send us a bottle to try.

At this point, I was willing to try anything. When I finally got it, I went straight to the 1 Tbs dosage. I wanted it to start working right away. I didn’t know what to expect. I thought maybe I’d feel like I just had a cup of coffee or took ginseng, but I got none of those feelings. After about two to three weeks of taking the wheat grass, I found myself getting very tired around 4/ 5 o’clock in the afternoon. I thought this was just part of my “normal” fatigue, but as I looked back at the activities I was doing throughout the past week, I realized that I was doing the things that normal people could do on a day-to-day basis. Instead of taking 2-3 days to complete my "to do list,” I was finishing it in a day. I was getting tired because I was able to do A LOT more during the day than I was used to, and I truly believe that Amazing Grass was giving me the energy to do it all. It had to be—it was the ONLY thing that had changed in my life. After five months of not being able to go to physical therapy, I am happy to say that last week I started again and things are going great! I don’t go anywhere without my Amazing Grass and I know I will be using it for the rest of my life!!

Barry Craven - Melrose Place, IL

Product: Kidz SuperFood Powder
I have two children with autism who only eat about 2 or 3 different foods which provide them with little to no nutritional value. I recently saw your product at Whole Foods and started giving it to my sons. For the first time they're actually getting some real nutrition and the chocolate flavor helps to conceal the taste of some of the supplements I give them. They now drink all of their morning juice with all of their supplements. Thanks for making a great product!

Nati Lavi - Cupertino, CA

Product: Green SuperFood Powder
I want to take this opportunity to recognize and recommend your Green SuperFood drink powder. I am not the kind of person that normally goes out of my way to recognize Grass Green product, however, in this case I think you have a great product that works!

Lynda Knowles - Vancouver, WA

Product: Green SuperFood Powder
I started using your product Green SuperFood a few months ago. I had been researching diets and came across many articles on the Alkaline Diet and of course they all mention a Super GreenFood. I went to my local health food store and found your product.

I am a Type 2 diabetic with some nerve damage. Although I got my sugars under better control from 180 - 220 avg to 125 - 150 avg (my last A1c was 7.0), I was still suffering from pain from the nerve damage. I didn't want to use drugs for the pain so I got myself a 'foot regenerator' and special B1 & B12 vitamins and had been taking Alpha Lipoic Acid, Primrose & CoQ10. Even after all this there had been some reduction of pain, but I still suffer from pain in my feet (my hands cleared up) at night. Hence, the diet search.
I was eating a high protein/low carb diet with whole grain bread. After what I read about alkaline foods, I realized I had been eating wrong all along - especially artificial sweeteners. I immediately dropped all sugarfree foods and exchanged meats & wrong carbs for veggies & low sugar fruits.
I noticed immediately when I added your product to my diet - the energy, Wow! I've dropped 5 pounds and my blood sugar is never over 120.

亞美滋有機小麥草粉



美國100% USDA有機原料進口,通過行政院農業委員會農業藥物毒物試驗所310種農藥殘留檢測,再經合格有機包裝廠裝填。半成品、成品獲農糧署、慈心有機認證,提供消費者多重安心、健康的品質保證。


大家都知道加州與佛羅里達州的柳橙風味最佳、最甜美。土壤學家經過多年的研究測試,證實了美國中西部的土壤富含穀類植物生長所需的各種養份,堪稱世界之最。而亞美滋在土壤的選擇上,當然也是堅持最好的 -肯薩斯州的有機土壤
一般市售的小麥草汁或小麥草粉來源大部分皆為拖盤水耕,而非土壤耕種。亞美滋深刻瞭解這兩種種植方法的不同,以及其對營養成分的影響,乃秉持著營養優先,健康無價的堅持,以高成本的有機土耕方式於秋天撥種,歷經六個月無農藥、無化肥的充足生長期,使根部能往下深紮,吸取養份,並於採收時只取最營養的嫩葉部份,採一年一作的罕見方式為消費者做好品質的把關。
有機的嚴謹種植並非就是高品質、高營養的保證,採收後的製程與保存才是有機營養的最後一道封印。亞美滋確保在採收後的一小時內以特殊的低溫乾燥技術鎖住小麥草葉中的營養,再將其壓製成丸狀以減少表面積,避免氧化營養流失。丸狀的半成品則以攝氏 -17度的低溫儲存,再依需求製成成品。在此階段,我們會以每1000公斤的半成品為一單位,做品質控管,將其樣本送往獨立公正的實驗室作化驗確認。另外,在成品封裝上,我們則依照醫藥等級之高標準,以氮氣填充再加以密封,確保產品的新鮮及營養。

  •             小麥草生長於肯薩斯州肥沃的有機土壤。
  •         於每年的秋季撥種,經過嚴寒的冬季考驗,使其能深入土壤
            紮根,奠定日後良好的生長條件。
  •         深紮入土壤的根部能充分吸收蘊藏於土壤中的養分,這與
            一般傳統蔬菜種植 方式是不同的。
       
        
  •            亞美滋只採收小麥草最富營養、最有生長力的嫩葉。
  •        直接採收,避免小麥草落地與接觸土壤。
  •        採收後的新鮮小麥草葉即快速的被運至設備良好的乾燥環境 
           與設備。
  •           小麥草葉在特製的設備中以低溫方式完成乾燥。
  •        在特有專業的乾燥設備把關下,亞美滋保存了小麥草原有的
           營養。
  •        小麥草葉被壓縮成顆粒狀,以減少與空氣接觸的面積避免氧 
           化。
  •        依醫藥等級標準以氮器填充包裝再以冷凍保存,確保產品新
           鮮度。

 

      

小麥草的營養成份(轉貼自Yahoo知識解答)

小麥草是天然維他命A 和維他命C最豐富的來源之一。另外、小麥草也含有各種礦物質,只是依土壤和種子的品質有所不同。

Sprague, Crampton 和 Harris 的研究報告,分別證明小麥草含有鈣、鐵、鎂、硫、鉀、磷、鈉、鈷和鋅等礦物質。耶魯大學的 Burkholder 博士說,小麥草含有的維他命B十分豐富。


小麥草是葉綠素的最佳來源(轉貼自Yahoo知識解答)
  
小麥草汁的固形物含有70%的葉綠素。 George Crile 博士在一項醫學會議中說,將來人類可以設法從植物取得日光素恢復身體的活力。

小麥草汁是一種生純的葉綠素,可以口服或當做活體素,不用耽心有副作用。科學已經證明,葉綠素不僅能夠阻止有害細菌的生長,同時也能補血。根據1911年的研究,葉綠素的化學構造和血紅素類似。兩者含有類似的原子,惟一的差別,只是血紅素含鐵,而葉綠素含鎂。

葉綠素有助於造血。根據各種動物所做的實驗,葉綠素沒有毒性反應。即使「貧血十分嚴重的動物,施用葉綠素,四、五天後,紅血球的數目即恢復正常」。葉綠素用於慢性感染傷口或潰瘍時,都有顯著的效果。它對感染這些傷口的細菌具有阻礙作用。葉綠素的作用,是產生抑制細菌成長的環境,而不是直接對細菌本身作用。

葉綠素雖然可從許多植物抽出,但因小麥草具有益身體健康的成份,它比其他綠色植物更具優點。德州大學癌症研究中心的雷久南士已經證實,葉綠素是抑制致癌物質活化的主要因素。

小麥草的營養價值(轉貼自Yahoo知識解答)
  
小麥草汁包含活性礦物質、營養素、酵素、維他命及人體必須之微量元素,被稱為「綠色的血液」,能適當的賦予人體活動所需要的最均衡狀況。小麥草汁可以完全淨化人體的毒素,是活力的泉源。
