New Chapter - Organics Probiotic Berry Green - 90 Vegetarian Capsules

New Chapter Organics Probiotic Berry Green contains 20 berries and greens in a capsule with no grass fillers. It began at New Chapter's rainforest organic farm. They and their friends would waken and wonder: What will it be? Would they be eating fresh papaya and passion fruit? Would they taste turmeric and ginger? It was an everyday celebration of color, fragrance, and flavor. They were happy their friends got to experience this organic affirmation of life, but they are blessed with many friends and they want to share that organic blessing. So New Chapter mixed up two parts garden, one part orchard, added a dash of rainforest, and Berry Green began.

Why organic?
New Chapter is convinced that it is better and safer for them, their families, their communities, and the world. The world is awash in chemicals, and those contaminating culprits sneak into our bodies and wreak havoc. Enough already: it's time to eat honest food, grown without genetic engineering, synthetic fertilizers, and the “ides” – pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. Let’s plant together, harvest together, eat together, and heal our bodies and the world!

Greens and Fruits, Every Day!
The National Academy of Sciences urges adults to eat a wholesome variety of greens and fruits every day. These foods, if properly grown, selected, and delivered, are bundles of natural health filled with the wisdom of nature. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) declared that nutrient-dense greens such as spinach and kale and berries, particularly blueberries, may be beneficial in slowing the signs of mental and physical aging. In addition to the USDA and the National Academy of Sciences, The American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, and American Diabetes Association also urge people to consume more greens and fruits in their daily diets, and many responsible voices urge that these foods are best if organic and grown “naturally,” not chemically. Welcome to the Berry Green experience, an easy and delicious way to get started on the path to wholesome greens and fruits, every day!

20 Organic Berries and Greens in a Capsule
Nothing invigorates like Nature's living bounty of organic greens and berries. Every serving of Berry Green awakens your body with 20 organic fruits, berries and greens— without grass fillers.

Why Freeze-Drying?
Freeze-drying is widely recognized as the best way to instantly capture and preserve the vital integrity of the whole organic food. The finished foods retain their optimal color, shape, flavor and nutritional values, and what’s more they are concentrated up to 10 times their original form. Freeze-drying preserves fiber content, so Berry Green also provides the digestive benefits of wholesome plant fibers.

Why “Live Active Culture” Probiotics?
Some of nature’s most revered foods are probiotic foods that are cultured with “friendly flora” like Lactobacilli. Probiotic foods include yogurt, kefir, miso, wine, and even sauerkraut. Science has learned that cultured foods are easy to digest, and the culturing process creates life-enhancing nutrients. Included in each serving of Berry Green are 20 different nutrient-dense organic vegetables, fruits, grains, and herbs that have been cultured by 10 of nature’s most researched friendly flora, then freeze-dried to maintain the viability of the live active culture.

Why No Grass?
Geen grasses like those included in many “greens” products are best suited for horses and cows and are not an optimal food for humans. After all, cows chew “cud” while humans eat berries. These grasses are very inexpensive compared to the freeze-dried organic vegetable greens in Berry Green, but New Chapter thinks you will appreciate their care in selecting only the finest foods for you and your family.

New Chapter™ will donate a portion of the net proceeds from Berry Green to The Organic Center, whose mission is to generate credible information and communicate the universal benefits of organic farming and products.

Can I take New Chapter products if I am also taking prescription medications?
New Chapter cannot provide information about combining prescription medicines with herbal or nutritional supplements. New Chapter suggests you always advise your prescribing physician or pharmacist about the use of dietary or herbal supplements. Only he or she can determine the risk for herb-drug interactions and supervise your response to the prescribed therapy. You may also want to consider consulting a qualified expert in herbal and nutritional therapy on this matter. While herbal medicine has experienced a long history of safe use, this history has not included many of the modern pharmaceutical medications that are frequently used today. By making your health care provider aware of your supplement regimen, you are protecting yourself from any known potential interactions and allowing for any future information on this topic to come to light.

Do I need to refrigerate New Chapter's products containing live probiotics:  Berry Green, Probiotic Colon, Probiotic All-Flora, Probiotic Immunity, Probiotic Anti-Aging, and Probiotic Cleanse?
NOT UNTIL AFTER THESE PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN OPENED, New Chapter's "live active culture" probiotics are designed to be shelf-stable in their growth medium and deliver the labeled potency of probiotic species for the life of the product. To maintain optimal effectiveness, they suggest refrigerating all live probiotics after opening and using them before the date on bottle.

Are all of your products organic?
Not yet! Currently, over half of New Chapter's products are either certified organic or made with at least 70% organic ingredients. As a certified organic company New Chapter is committed to the organic movement and will continue to source the finest organic ingredients whenever possible.
