1. Chlorella

Chlorella is a single-celled freshwater green algae (similar to spirulina) that is rich in concentrated nutrients and can provide various nutrients needed by the human body, and is one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. Chlorella is one of the most interesting organisms because its cells have tough cell walls that are resistant to attack by a variety of other bacteria and viruses. Chlorella contains extremely high levels of chlorophyll, 10 times more than in alfalfa. Most of the chlorophyll pigments currently used in the market are extracted from alfalfa. Chlorella contains about 5.8 grams of protein per 10 grams, and chlorella is also rich in the essential fatty acid alpha linolenic acid, as well as a variety of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants. Its vitamins and minerals include vitamins A, D, E, K, B12, as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc and other trace elements, so chlorella is definitely a high-quality and healthy green nutrient source food.

2. Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae organism that comes from fresh water. It's a simple, single-celled organism called "spiral" in Latin because of its spring-like structure, meaning "spiral" - hence the name. As early as the 9th century, humans began to use spirulina as a food source. Today, it has become a popular green food - especially because of its high plant protein and rich chlorophyll, beta-carotene and other bioactive ingredients, more to enhance the body's immune function.

3. Wheat grass

Like wheat bread, noodles and other foods, wheatgrass is produced from the most widely grown plant： wheat , and is a zero-fat, high-fiber supplement that contains plenty of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and chlorophyll. The difference between wheatgrass and wheat plants is that superfood wheat seeds germinate and grow, are harvested during a specific growth period, and are dried at low temperatures and ground into wheatgrass meal. The common wheat crop, which is used to make bread, is harvested much later. Wheatgrass is gluten-free and extremely nutritious. In fact, studies have shown that wheatgrass is rich in vitamin C, with twice the vitamin C content of oranges! Wheatgrass also contains a variety of amino acids (the main components of protein), as well as B vitamins that promote energy production. It also contains potassium and dietary fiber, which can help prevent the occurrence of constipation. Other nutrients contained in wheatgrass include: vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and many biological enzymes.

4. Ginkgo biloba

Dating back three million years, Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest known living trees. As a medicine, especially in Chinese medicine, ginkgo biloba has been used for many years. It is worth noting that due to some of the powerful properties of Ginkgo biloba, in Germany，ginkgo biloba is actually a prescription herb. Scientific studies have proven that this ancient herb has many health benefits. These include helping to deliver more oxygen and blood, improving the potential of oxygen utilization. For exercisers, taking ginkgo biloba extract can increase concentration and alertness, as well as improve athletic performance.
