PURITY OF OUR SPIRULINA
Our Spirulina is the cleanest, purest, and most nutrient-dense Spirulina made anywhere in the world. It is manufactured in India, away from industrial, agricultural and human settlements – with a pristine water supply, and is free of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers, in controlled conditions, monitored to prevent contamination. Each batch of our Spirulina is 3rd party tested in Internationally Acclaimed Laboratories for purity and to ensure there are the lowest and safest levels of heavy metals, and no detectable levels of neurotoxins or microcystins.
DANGERS OF OTHER SPIRULINA
Many other companies use inexpensive Spirulina out of China and other places that do not have high quality standards. Even if it is labeled “organic,” it can still be a very low-quality Spirulina out of China, so don’t be fooled. When Spirulina is not grown in ideal conditions, it cannot develop the high levels of nutrients you would expect Spirulina to have, and can be contaminated with heavy metals, neurotoxins, and microcystins.

This exotic large berry from the Amazon Rainforest may be the world’s richest source of vitamin C. It can have as much as 60 times more vitamin C than oranges.
It is also rich in carotenoids like beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. Our wildcrafted, pesticide-free camu camu is rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, and also contains manganese, magnesium, calcium, potassium and zinc.

Organic Purple Grape
Grapes are not just delicious, they are also loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols that powerfully support your health.
In particular, they are one of the main natural sources of resveratrol, which many studies suggest plays a significant role in longevity. Resveratrol seems to affect three genes that are all related to longevity, including the SirT1s. Grapes are not only loaded with antioxidants, but also with vitamin K, copper and vitamin B2.
BENEFITS
Nutritionally supports immune function, antioxidant levels, a healthy inflammatory response, digestive health and lung health.
DANGERS OF OTHER PURPLE GRAPES
According to the USDA Pesticide Data Program and the Pesticide Action Network, cranberries on store shelves have been found to have 56 different pesticide residues, including 8 known or probable carcinogens, 17 suspected hormone disruptors, 10 neurotoxins, and 4 developmental or reproductive toxins. They can also be contaminated with heavy metals, like mercury and lead.
It is very important you eat only organic grapes. There is a list called the “Dirty Dozen” which itemizes the most heavily contaminated fruits and vegetables. Grapes are rated as number eight on this list – meaning they have very high levels of pesticide residue compared to most other commonly eaten fruits and vegetables. Make sure your grapes are organic, like the ones in Vitaforce.
Organic Pomegranate
This may be the most uniquely delicious fruit on the planet, but it also has true superfruit status as well. Pomegranates are loaded in powerful antioxidants called polyphenols.
These polyphenols have been studied for their ability to nutritionally support brain health, cardiovascular health and digestive health. Pomegranate juice has three times more antioxidants than red wine and green tea. Pomegranates are a good source of vitamins C, K and fiber.
