In this particular formula a "part" means a measurement by volume and not weight. What volume you use is up to you. All ingredients are either Organic or Wildcrafted. I added Astragalus as it is the #1 herb for balancing metabolism and blood sugar levels. Without changing my diet one iota, I dropped 10 pounds when I added this little goody to the formula. I also upped the Spirulina and Chlorella 50% each to increase the protein, and mineral intake. My favorite way to take it is: 2 heaping tablespoons of TN 1 Tbl spoon of UDO's 1 Tbl spoon of Flaxseed Oil 1 Teaspoon of Bee Pollen (the reason I haven't added Bee Pollen to the TN formula is because pollen should be refrigerated where TN doesn't need to be) 2 raw organic eggs & sometimes 1 teaspoon of MSM Powder Blended in Apple cider for a minute makes the best morning drink I ever tasted.

Spirulina Blue Green Algae Spirulina is one of the most concentrated, nutritious foods on this planet. It is the highest natural source of complete protein (75%). We use the only organically grown Spirulina in the world, from Hawaii. The high amount of sunshine there makes this Spirulina higher in Beta Carotene than any other. It is also a rich source of B-Vitamins. especially B-12. Grown using water pumped from 2000 feet deep in the ocean, this Spirulina is one of the richest sources of minerals also. Being one of the oldest types of algae, it has a soft cell wall for easy digestion and assimilation. Chlorella Chlorella is second only to Spirulina in nutritional content. Another of the algaes, it Is an extremely concentrated source of nutrition and compliments Spirulina well. The cell wall has been cracked to make the nutrients more available and increase its digestibility. Astragalus In Oriental Herbology, Astragalus shares the #1 spot with Ginseng. Astragalus not only has a reputation for preventing Cancer, but it is famous for rejuvenating digestive organs and regulating blood sugar. Astragalus also raises and improves metabolism and can therefore bring about a certain amount of weight loss for those who desire it. Furthermore, it strengthens the immune system, promotes the healing of wounds and injuries, reduces Edema and is well known for dramatically increasing energy levels, and assisting those who are diabetic. Alfalfa, Barley and Wheat Grasses These are the Vitamin / Mineral herbs. They are mildly cleansing and the greatest sources of nutrition and minerals of any of the grasses. Grain grasses are more potent than the grains themselves, offering us a rich array of vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll. Purple Dulse Seaweed Seaweeds are the richest source of assimilable minerals on the planet. They contain all the minerals and trace minerals that are found In the oceans and the earth's crust. We chose Purple Dulse because it has the highest mineral concentration, but also a bland taste. Many seaweeds taste fishy and are offensive to vegetarians. Beet Root and Spinach Leaf Beets and Spinach are some of the richest, most assimilable sources of organic iron. Beets, being a root vegetable and growing underground, change inorganic raw elements into plant minerals, that are useable by us. Spinach is a rich source of Calcium, Iron and Vitamin K. Both of these plants are famous for their blood building ability. Rose Hips, Orange and Lemon Peels Revered as the best sources of Vitamin C, these fruits re also a balanced C-Complex source. They contain BioFlavinoids, Rutin, Hesperidin, Calcium and all of the trace elements that are now known to be necessary to assimilate Vitamin C. The citrus peels are also one of the highest sources of Pectin, which has been proven to remove heavy metals (Mercury, Lead, etc.) from the body, even remove radioactive contamination like deadly Strontium 90. Non-Active Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Nutritional Yeast This yeast is grown on beets and pure molasses. It is the second highest source of complete protein in nature (50%), and the richest source of B Vitamins. It is also a rich source or Iron and many other minerals. The yeast we choose is heated high enough to absolutely destroy any yeast activity, but not high enough to lessen the B Vitamin content. It is totally NON active and safe for patients with Candida Albicans or on yeast free diets.

Additional Serving Suggestions Total Nutrition takes on a whole new delicious taste when mixed with olive oil and pressed garlic and spread over a whole grain bread and topped with tomatoes or used to stuff celery. It is also good sprinkled on a salad with an oil and vinegar dressing. Lay a bed of "Spring Mix" salad greens on a dinner plate. Top with one mound of fresh, shredded carrots and one mound of fresh, shredded beets. This is the main body of the salad. You can vary the toppings each day, so you won't get bored. One day you can use tomatoes, cucumbers and celery. Another day avocado, onion and olives. Another day, sprouts and Greek olives. The point is that you ALWAYS use the main ingredients and vary the toppings. Everything should be organic. After you've made the salad, sprinkle a generous amount of Total Nutrition on top (2 tablespoons). Then put some Olive Oil dressing on top of the Total Nutrition. Now sprinkle some VINEGAR dressing on top of the whole thing.
