Finally, an authentic Japanese green tea is now available in the U.S. with Shogun Imperial Green Tea, which can be taken as a tablet, or dissolved in hot water for a flavorful tea. Although the number of green teas introduced into the U.S. market has increased dramatically in the last several years, their quality varies widely and may be found wanting to those who desire the rich dark green tea used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. When comparing other teas with a cup of authentic Japanese Shogun Imperial Green Tea, one immediately notices the pale brown color of many of these "green teas" contrasted with the rich green color of Shogun Imperial Green Tea. The difference is striking and is due to the difference in their respective amounts of chlorophyll and catechins. The more chlorophyll and catechins, the greener the tea will be. Taste is the second difference between authentic Japanese tea and many other green teas on the market. Shogun Imperial Green Tea, while strong when chewed as a tablet, makes an excellent tasting cup of rich green tea when dissolved in hot water. The taste is due to the amount of beneficial components present in the tea, particularly the amount of catechins, a type of bioflavonoid that is strongly antioxidant. Chewing Shogun Green Tea tablets may also help promote good oral health by neutralization of mouth odors and general oral hygiene actions.*
Nature's Ancient Green Tonic
Green tea has been enjoyed as a delicioushealth promoting beverage in Asia for over 5,000 years. From ancient times to present day, the Japanese have placed a high value on enjoying a cup of green tea to relax and achieve clarity of mind, to recover from the stresses of daily life, to enhance social gatherings, and for plain enjoyment. Although many benefits of green tea consumption have been known for millennia, recent scientific research has revealed new and important potential benefits.* Eating Green Tea Offers Even More Nutrition
More than half of the nutrients in green tea, such as beta-carotene, vitamin E, chlorophyll, and dietary fiber, are insoluble in water. Whether one consumes green tea made by the traditional way by mixing a powdered extract in hot water, or by brewing tea bags, water insoluble nutrients are not extracted into the water but remain in the tea leaves. Shogun Imperial Green Tea is a chewable tablet form of green tea that offers superior nutrition because it contains a tablet form of very finely ground whole green tea leaves tea that can be chewed or easily dissolved into hot water. In this manner, all the nutrients in the original green tea leaves are made available for absorption and utilization by the body. For added benefit, the tablets may be chewed for several minutes to help clean the mouth, teeth and gums. Chewing the tablets helps clean the breath and the soft tablets allow easy chewing even with dentures.* Highest Quality Green Tea
Shogun Green Tea is grown in the Shizuoka Province, located in the mountainous region in central Japan where the weather is mild year-around. The green tea plants are grown without pesticides or herbicides, and are harvested in the late summer when catechin levels are at their highest. Soon after harvesting, the leaves are processed with a patented method to ensure a 2-year shelf life. Dr. Ohmura, a well-known research pharmacist in Japan, is the developer of this special process that transforms the whole green tea leaf into a soft, chewable, and nutritionally superior green tea tablet. Most green tea products available in the U.S. are either tea bags or extracts. Shogun Green Tea is a whole leaf green tea supplement.* While not all of our products are 100% organic, we strive to use as many organic ingredients as possible. You will find that all of our products contain 100% organic barley grass and maltodextrin.

 CERTIFIED ORGANIC BARLEY GRASS SUPPLEMENTS: The Difference Processing MakesCritical differences exist between the processing technique that Green Foods Corporation uses to capture the nutrition of barley grass juice and the other common dehydration techniques. How Green Foods Corporation Processes Its Barley GrassFirst, and foremost, we grow our barley grass using certified organic farming methods in the rich, fertile soil of the Oxnard Plains in southern California. Every year or two, the fields are rotated with legume crops in order to replenish the soil. We use only natural, organic methods of pest control, including friendly insects like ladybugs. The barley grass in Green Magma and our other Magma products is certified organic. But organic growing is only part of the story. State-of-the-art organic processing methods developed by our founder, Dr. Hagiwara, are required in order to ensure a highly nutritious product that contains active enzymes. Green Foods Corporation uses an expensive temperature-controlled, multi-step process that gently extracts the nutrient-rich juice from barley grass and then spray-dries it into a powder, which protects and stabilizes the enzymes, vitamins and other phytonutrients. THE PROCESSAfter extensive laboratory testing, Dr. Hagiwara discovered that the juice of young green barley plants had the greatest number of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and chlorophyll, of any of the 200 different types of green leafy plants, grasses and herbs he examined. His next step was to develop a technique that would protect these nutrients in powder form. Since Green Foods Corporation's 1969 patent of a process that is one of the most expensive and sophisticated in the natural foods industry, Dr. Hagiwara has grown, harvested and processed powdered juice from barley plants in Japan. In 1990, he opened a second 52,000-square-foot processing facility near the Pacific Ocean in Oxnard, California. Our facility in Oxnard is just minutes away from the fertile fields where we grow barley grass and other crops. The proximity of the fields to the processing plant ensures maximum freshness of Green Magma and our other products.
 | Our Barley Grass Loading System allows a single operator, using a computerized control panel, to efficiently weigh, off-load, and feed the organic barley grass into the wash line. |  | | |
| | |  | | The organic barley grass is thoroughly washed with pure water, and its nutrient-rich green juice is then extracted by a special method developed by our founder, Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara. The barley grass juice contains a rich balance of essential nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals. | |
| | | The concentration of the barley grass juice is accomplished in a vacuum utilizing low temperature, thereby protecting the delicate natural enzymes, vitamins, and other nutrients. | |  | |
| | | | | The concentrated barley grass juice is converted into a powder within seconds using a low-temperature spray-dry machine. This rapid, low-temperature process ensures that nutrients are retained in the natural green powder. |  |
| | | The very fine particles of spray-dried barley grass powder lack adequate solubility so they are made into larger granules of powder that readily dissolve in liquids. | |  | |
| | |  | | In our temperature-controlled packaging room, we use automatic bottling and labeling machines to process 10,000 to 20,000 units per day. | |
|  | To ensure the highest quality products, we use meticulous care in both the production process and the quality control procedures. Our goal is to provide consumers with the highest quality products. |

 Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara was a world-renowned pharmaceutical scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, and President of Japan Product Development Co. in Osaka, Japan. He graduated from Kumamoto University in Japan as a research pharmacologist and, early in his career, developed several highly successful drug formulas. He soon went on to establish Yamashiro Pharmaceutical Company, a leading Japanese pharmaceutical company. As Dr. Hagiwara grew aware of the problems caused by the many chemicals used in modern medicine, he vowed to devote his life to a natural nutritional approach to health. After years of research on over 200 types of plants, including fruits, vegetables, grasses, and herbs, he found that "young barleygrass is one of the most nutritionally balanced foods in nature." In order to capture and protect the delicate nutrients and enzymes in freshly harvested young barley grass, he developed a unique extraction and spray-dry process that earned him Japan's prestigious Science and Technology Award. This process makes possible our powdered, nutrient-rich Green Magma. Sadly, Dr. Hagiwara passed away on Saturday, June 5th, 2004. Dr. Hagiwara was 79 years old and had been an active force in the nutrition industry until his death. Through Dr. Hagiwara's ideas and efforts, the development and use of whole food nutritional supplements became a global movement. Dr. Hagiwara's vision of making good nutrition available to everyone worldwide, and his inspiring presence, will be missed. |

The gentle juice extraction and spray-dry method of capturing the nutrients in green plants was originally developed and patented by Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara in Japan and perfected over several decades of intensive research. Dr. Hagiwara initially concluded that, of all the many green foods he studied, barley grass was the most nutritionally well-balanced. He was then faced with the task of developing a method to capture this nutrition in a convenient-to-use powdered form that would be available for use by everyone. After years of intense research on this problem, he developed his patented juice extraction and spray-drying process. It is a complex process that requires the use of very expensive, pharmaceutical-grade extraction, spray-drying, and granulation machines. The result is a green powder that offers potent antioxidant protection and superior nutritional benefits.
Dr. Hagiwara's barley grass powder, sold as Green Magma, is also a major ingredient in other products manufactured by his company, Green Foods Corporation. Green Magma contains a wealth of nutrients, including the following antioxidants: beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, chlorophyll, catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glycosylisovitexin (GIV). GIV is a water- and fat-soluble antioxidant found in Green Magma that effectively inhibits lipid peroxidation as well as the formation of aldehydes and other toxic compounds produced by free radicals in vitro. Green Magma also contains many trace minerals, including selenium, that are vital to metabolism.
Dr. Hagiwara dedicated much effort and financial resources into scientific research on barley grass and whole food nutrition. Research by noted scientists at leading universities in the United States and Japan has revealed a number of benefits of barley grass, particularly in relation to its antioxidant content. However, the most important indication of the benefits of barley grass comes from people who use it every day. They consistently report that regular use of Green Magma increases their energy levels, gives them better looking skin, hair and nails, and helps support digestion -- all indications of excellent nutrition and effective antioxidant protection. |

GREEN MAGMA is made with the powdered juice of organically-grown young barley grass that is processed in a unique manner so that it retains all vital nutrients and active enzymes found in the juice. Green Magma, Magma Plus, Veggie Magma, Berry Barley Essence, Green Tea Barley Essence, Magma Slim, and Shogun Green Tea all contain organically-grown young barley grass juice powder along with additional nutrients.
 Analysis of barley grass juice by Dr. Hagiwara has shown that it contains nearly all nutrients our body needs for optimal health.* These include carbohydrates, protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, and other types of nutrients that scientists have shown to be necessary for optimal health (including enzymes, bioflavonoids and chlorophyll, to name a few).
The ancient Chinese Sage of Medicine, Shin Huang-ti, noted:
"It is diet which maintains true health and is the best medicine."
And the ancient Greek physician, Hippocrates, said over 2, 000 years ago:
"Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food."
Today, science has conclusively established the truth of both sayings.
Scientific research has provided a wealth of evidence of the many health benefits derived from consuming a diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods not only supply our cells with essential nutrients for metabolism and maintenance of healthy tissues, but they also provide us with nature's own remedy to help regain our health when illness occurs.*
Most nutritionists agree that we need to eat at least 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day to stay healthy. Those of us who live and work in more industrialized parts of the world find it extremely difficult to eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables each day. Taking Green Foods products is a convenient, yet efficient way to ensure that our body receives the nutrients necessary for optimal health.*

Simply speaking, optimal nutrition means providing our bodies with the best possible food and liquids for maintaining cellular wellness and function. To accomplish this, our diet must be such that it promotes the following:
1. Nutrient Diversity and Abundance:
Consuming a variety of nutrients is necessary for optimal health. Different nutrients act together SYNERGISTICALLY. For example, vitamin C and E fight free-radicals much more effectively when consumed from whole food sources rather than when taken separately as isolated supplements.* We cannot duplicate nature by making combinations of isolated vitamins and minerals. Green Foods' nutritional supplements, such as Green Magma and our other powdered extracts, contain the natural complexity of whole foods.
2. Nutrient Digestion and Absorption:
Digestion and absorption of nutrients are absolute requirements for good health. Without good digestion, nutrients will not be absorbed into our blood stream and delivered to our cells. Digestive enzymes and other nutrients in our products help keep our digestive tract operating efficiently and helpus absorb and utilize nutrients properly.*
3. Antioxidant Protection Against Free Radicals:
Antioxidants are our best defense against oxidation to our cells caused by free radicals. Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules created in our cells during normal metabolism. They also come from pollutants in the environment. It is important to consume a sufficient amount of antioxidants from fresh fruits and vegetables daily in order to neutralize free radicals effectively.* Green Foods' products provide a diverse array of antioxidants including beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E succinate, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glycosylisovitexin, chlorophyll and others.
4. Gentle Detoxification:
Chlorophyll and other substances in barley grass may help prevent the build up of heavy metals and other pollutants that we ingest every day.* |

Maltodextrin plays two very important roles, which are actually related to one another. First, maltodextrin acts as an exceptionally efficient carrier for the natural nutrients found in Green Foods' spray-dried barley juice powder. Second, maltodextrin naturally adheres to the nutrient molecules in the barley juice powder, thus providing a natural coating and barrier against unwanted chemical reactions and greatly reducing nutrient oxidation. This protection stabilizes the nutrients in a totally natural manner and allows our products to have a long shelf life.
Maltodextrin is widely used for these as well as other purposes in the natural foods and supplements industry and is "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) by the FDA with no restrictions attached to its use.
Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate composed of a chain of glucose molecules derived from natural vegetable sources by enzymatic activity. It is a complex carbohydrate, not a simple sugar, and does not cause rapid changes in blood sugar levels. It takes the body hours to completely break down the complex chain of glucose molecules in maltodextrin for absorption into the circulation. This slow, steady release of glucose into the circulation serves as a natural source of energy for the body. Maltodextrin may be taken by people with blood sugar concerns. This has been demonstrated time and again by people with blood sugar concerns who consume Green Magma every day and experience no adverse effects. |
