Hydrilla verticillata hyper-accumulates calcium from the calcium-rich soils underlying rivers and lakes in Florida. The plant is 14% or more calcium by weight after it is dried. That means one level tablespoon of powder weighing 4.75 grams delivers more than 700 mg. of elemental calcium in a highly bioavailable form complexed with proteins, carbohydrates and other food factors in the plant.
Vitamin B-12, iron
and calcium are commonly supplied by animal foods (e.g. milk, cheese,
meats). Those three nutrients are responsible for maintaining mental
health (cognition, attention span, neuronal life), for delivery of
oxygen to cells, and for the maintenance of strong bones and resilient
connective tissue. Adequate amounts of B-12, iron and calcium are difficult
to obtain in vegan diets. Green Calcium is, therefore, a strong guardian
of optimum health for vegans and omnivores alike. In addition, Green
Calcium's (Hydrilla’s) high beta-carotene delivers more anti-oxidant,
anti-aging, anti-pollution protection than many other foods, and the
rich content of B-vitamins fuels metabolism and protects nerve tissue.
The nutrient density and bland taste of Hydrilla make it a food of great value to everyone – especially vegans and other types of vegetarians. It can be used extensively in the same way as yeast flakes: mixed into beverages, sauces, and salad dressings; sprinkled on salads and cooked into vegetable dishes to improve the nutritional value of nearly any prepared food.
Hydrilla verticillata, and that's all -- a plant based raw food.
