Best Vitamin & Mineral supplement available - Why?
Sprout Health the LA Way

As Hippocrates said “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food”, well we now have the luxury of taking this philosophy to new heights. So what do we mean:-

Sprouts already have an abundance of nutrients, however just to make sure that by eating your sprouts you are going to receive the widest possible spread of minerals and trace elements, we feed our sprouts a collection of specially chosen organic substances, so that you will miss nothing, giving you the most comprehensive & easily absorbed Vitamin & Mineral supplement available. Why, because these minerals & nutrients have been brought back to life i.e. into a form your body understands.

The idea of eating sprouts whether it be Wheatgrass, Snow Pea, Lentils, Alfalfa or Fenugreek etc, is primarily that these seeds have gathered a wide range of nutritious resources and stored them inside the seed, the sprouting process, turns these resources from potential energy into living kinetic energy, a form much more easily absorbed by the body.

Another thing to note is that in the first few weeks of a sprouts life it is mainly interested in drinking rather than searching out nutrients in the surrounding soil, that is why our sprouting systems supply the extra nutrients that we will talk about below, in the water that we put in the reservoir for our vertical sprouts eg Wheatgrass and Snow Pea or in the daily soak solution of our loose sprouts e.g. Alfalfa, Fenugreek and Lentils.

Liquid Seaweed with Potassium Humate. This liquid seaweed concentrate (NASAA Certified) is made from storm carst kelp freshly collected on the coast of Tasmania. Kelp is the grass of the sea-world, it contains many of the micro-nutrients necessary to sustain life. This seaweed is extracted at lower temperatures than other products, it also contains humic acid which is a mined substance, that is somewhere between peat and brown coal, containing a rich abundance of prehistoric minerals and trace elements, a BFA approved product. So whatever you are growing with this product, especially if it’s a vegetable that you eat, you will be getting a rich spread of micro-nutrients and trace elements from the sea and from prehistoric pristine vegetation.

Seaweeds are bio-accumulators of trace elements in the sea and their composition depends on the age of the seaweed, the seaweed used in this product is typically 12 to 15 months old. Humate has the ability to “chelate” minerals in water that passes through it, this makes them more available to the plant roots. Apart from the abundance of trace elements this product is particularly rich in Iodine, Magnesium and Iron.

AZOMITE is a mineral and trace element supplement for plants and animals, it is a volcanic ash mined from a 30 million year old volcanic deposit. It is not a typical rock dust. It is a very complicated product in the sense that it contains 67 + chemical elements, most in an oxide form along with trace and rare earth minerals. The product is a natural volcanic ash, albeit 30 million years old, it has been subjected to rigorous testing and has been approved for use in large-scale Organic Plant and Livestock production in the US. Adding this to our fertilizer soup, means that if the seeds didn’t contain it, & then the Seaweed/Humate didn’t then we certainly have it covered now.

DOLOMITE. This is finely crushed limestone which is rich in Magnesium, around 38%, the rest is Calcium and other trace elements. There are two reasons we include this in our mix, firstly even though the liquid seaweed is high in Magnesium the importance of this element in the health of the body cannot be overstated, and this is one of the richest natural sources of this element. Secondly when mixed with water this substance creates a very alkaline environment, this is particularly useful when sprouting as it reduces the development of mould, which cannot tolerate an alkaline environment. (Also see our Magnesium Chloride/Oil supplement, if you are not getting enough Magnesium through your food then this is the next best way to increase your Magnesium, most Magnesium supplements are in the form of Magnesium Oxide which has to be converted into Magnesium Chloride by the body, or a plant,  before it can be used).

 

Our claim that this is the best & cheapest multi-vitamin & mineral supplement available can be summed up in 3 points.

1:- by the time that you eat them the sprouts contain the richest and most diverse spread of elements and trace minerals that you could possibly wish for.

2:- these are being presented to your body in a living form meaning your body is going to absorb every thing that it requires, unlike dried and dead supplements contained in pills and powders, much of which passes straight through your body.

3:- because these mineral supplements are agricultural products they are many thousand times cheaper than vitamin and minerals supplements that you may purchase for human consumption, the irony being that once nature transforms them back into a living food they become many thousand times more absorbable by the body.

So Where to Begin?

The simplest way to start is with our Loose Sprouting Kit it is not only the best, most complete but also the cheapest kit on the market. It includes a storage system which means you only spend 3 to 4 days sprouting each fortnight, giving you small effort with a big reward. I have a continuous supply of two bags of sprouts in the fridge one a mix of Alfalfa and Fenugreek and the other one is Lentils.

Your Passion Is Green Salad?

Then the SnowPea/FieldPea Sprouting Kit is the way to go, replanting three of our shallow self watering sprout pots once a week, which will take you about 12 minutes, will mean you will always have the bulk of your green salad available, at your fingertips, no washing, at a moments notice, not to mention their nutritional value, as previously explained. The process of growing these Greens is exactly the same as growing Wheat or Barley grass, it can also be used to grow Cress, Mustard, Sunflower etc. a micro-green supernova.

You Have an Illness or You Want the One Stop Shop?

Then Wheatgrass is Supreme, because this is a grass and you have to juice it, then the quantity and potency of healing nutrition is much more than you could possibly eat. In addition to this it also has strong cleansing effects. I have a Wheatgrass juice every afternoon I combine it with Carrot, Beet root, Pear, Garlic, Ginger, Kombucha, Slippery-Elm, Psyllium and some Grape juice, I have created this little concoction not only because I believe it’s good for me but it is quite enjoyable and the reality is, if it was not enjoyable I would be less likely to do it, being a bit of a hedonist and all.
