At a recent health trade show, we stopped by a booth where a
middle-aged lady was promoting a green powder. Now this wasn’t the only booth
promoting a green powder supplement - so what made us stop at this one in
particular? Posted on a display in the booth was a picture and a written
description. The picture showed a woman with saggy skin, wrinkles, and looking
much, much older than her 67 years. She described typical old age symptoms of
insomnia, joint pains, and an irregular heartbeat. We asked the woman in the
booth if that was a picture of her mother. She laughed and “no…it was a
picture of her taken in 1998, ten years ago”. We were astonished! She even
showed us her driver’s license to prove that she was really 77 years old. It
was incredible! She attributed her age reversal to the green Ashitaba powder.
As it purified her cells, her symptoms of old age disappeared. Her wrinkles
were gone, her mind was sharp, and she was full of energy. She looked more
like 50!
Ashitaba is a plant native to the Hachi Jo Island in Japan. Hachi Jo Island,
referred to by the Japanese as the “Longevity Island”, has most of its senior
citizens living well into their 90’s, and the island in general has some of
the longest life spans on earth. The Ashitaba plant, known as the “longevity
herb” is an integral part of the local diet.
For over 2000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has used the Ashitaba
to replenish energy by supplying the blood with vital nutrients and promoting
circulation. While researching the effects of Ashitaba on slowing the aging
process, Japanese scientists isolated a rare class of flavonoids called
chalcones.
Discovered by Dr. Kimie Baba, MD at Osaka University of Pharmacy, the potent
Xanthoangelol, Xanthoangelol-E and 4-Hydrooxyderricin chalcones surprisingly
exceeded the antioxidant activities of red wine, green tea and soy. More
importantly, these chalcones were not found in the Ashitaba grown in Korea,
Taiwan or any other areas - only the Ashitaba grown on Hachi Jo Island.
So what makes the Hachi Jo Island Ashitaba so potent? It has to do with the
unique volcanic soil, which is very rich in nutrients. The nutrients from the
soil produce a very nutrient rich Ashitaba plant blossoming every 4 years or
so as opposed to every 8 to 16 months in other areas in Asia. In addition to
the chalcones, the overall nutritional composition of the Hachi Jo Island
Ashitaba measured the greatest - making it the only Ashitaba approved by
Japanese medical research.
The benefits of chalcones are:
1) Purify the blood and promote blood circulation
2) High antioxidant to protect the organs from destructive free radicals and
slow the aging
process.
3) Detoxification by improving bowel movement and help remove toxic waste from
the cells.
Hachi Jo Island PerCent Ashitaba is processed with a minimal loss of
nutrients, color, and flavor. When added to water, the color is a vibrant
green and tastes just like fresh juice, unlike some of the other Ashitaba we
evaluated, which was brown and bitter.
