from Viridian
Viridian 100% Organic Red Food Blend Powder is a potent blend of organic natural plant foods, rich in carotenoids the precursors of vitamin A from Carrot, beetroot, tomato and cayenne pepper. The carrot is often said to be "the king of vegetables". It is the richest source of pro-vitamin A carotenes among the commonly consumed vegetables. Unlike vitamin A, beta-carotene and other carotenes found in carrots do not cause toxicity. The abundance of carotenoids found in carrots promotes healthy visual function. Beta carotene and other carotenoids such as lutein play key roles in maintaining various structures in the eye, such as the macular and retina.
The rich antioxidant and silicon content of beetroot helps strengthen connective tissue, supports overall skin health encourages healthy liver function. The powerful collagen supporting antioxidant anthocyanidin is also found in beetroot, this contributes to the deep pigment colour.
Tomatoes contain a powerful antioxidant called lycopene which is one of the most powerful dietary carotenoids. Lycopene is an antioxidant that once absorbed by the body, helps to promote cellular health. Antioxidants are compounds that fight free radicals in the body and have been shown to inhibit DNA oxidation. It is also a lipid soluble antioxidant that is transported in the blood through lipoproteins. The absorption of lycopene and other carotenoids, including beta-carotene and vitamin E, has been shown to prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterols.
As a food source this blend can be used throughout the day as a nutritious, antioxidant rich food supplement and culinary spice. It also includes cayenne pepper which contains capsaicin, an alkaloid that is known to mimic the effect of some the prostaglandins and promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
