Boosters

The Clearing Cafe ’s Boosters for Smoothies and Juices

We feel honored to be able to present our clients with the highest quality supplements for juices and smoothies.  Our concentrates, oils, vitamins, and proteins are professional caliber products.

Fish Oil: Fish oils contain fats which are essential for human nutrition but hard to get through other sources. It’s one of the few supplement we feel nearly everyone can benefit from. Fish oil possesses anti-inflammatory properties rivaling over-the-counter pain relievers. We frequently prescribe it for fatigue, cardiovascular health, skin rashes, mood disorders, and to support mental function.  We like Carlson’s brand because it has no fishy taste, is lemon flavored, and is independently certified free of heavy metals and other contaminants.*  1 teaspoon (5000 mg - equivalent to 5 capsules)

Flax Seed Oil: A rich source of the same kinds of fats as fish oil (see above). flax seed oil is a good alternative for vegetarians (though may be slightly less usable by the body).*  1 teaspoon (5000 mg)

Vitamin C: Though you don’t need much of it to prevent scurvy, in higher doses vitamin C acts as a medicine: boosting immune function, promoting wound healing, and fighting the free-radical damage that occurs from exposure to radiation and pollution. Hypoallergenic, pharmaceutical-grade.*  1000 mg

Whey Protein: Whey (milk protein) is the most biologically available of all proteins – that is, the body uses it more efficiently than any other dietary protein. A rich source of amino acids and a great means of regulating blood sugar, supporting immune function, and building energy and muscle. Since it’s highly purified, lactose intolerant folks are often able to digest this without a problem, but vegans and those with a more serious milk allergy might consider a plant-based protein.* 23 grams (delivering 18 grams protein)

Rice Protein: An ideal protein source for vegans and those with sensitive systems. rice is considered the most hypoallergenic protein source. Also good for people on elimination or detoxification diets.*  15 grams (delivering 11 grams of protein)

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus): An extensively researched adaptogenic herb. Adaptogens are substances which enhance an organism’s ability to adapt to stress (overwork, poor diet, mental/emotional tension, exhaustion, etc.). In Chinese medicine, this herb is considered to build Qi (vital energy). Our super-potent extract is concentrated to 28:1 (1 unit of the extract is equal to 28 units of raw herb).*  1000 mg

Milk Thistle Extract: A supreme Liver-rejuvenating herb. The active constituent, sylimarin has been used to treat hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, and as a protective agent to avoid liver damage from exposure to toxins. Also used to help draw heavy metals out of the body. Our potent extract contains 80% of the active constituent silymarin.*  300 mg

Echinacea Extract: This well known immune booster is best taken at the first sign of a cold. Traditionally considered a blood cleanser, echinacea was used by “old school” naturopathic doctors for skin problems, snake bites, infections, and cancer. Our potent extract is concentrated to 6:1 (1 unit of the extract is equal to 6 units of the raw herb).*  1000 mg

Astragalus Extract: This Chinese herb is one of the main substances in their pharmacopeia for building Qi (vital energy), specifically strengthening the immune system. It is often prescribed for individuals who get frequent colds, allergies, or who are around sick people. Our potent extract is concentrated to 10:1 (1 unit of the extract is equal to 10 units of the raw herb).*  1200 mg

Calm Spirit: A classic Chinese herbal formula used traditionally for anxiety and melancholy, especially when a person is worn out. The three main ingredients, red date, licorice root, and a form of Chinese wheat, are all mild, gentle herbs, yet in combination, they form a very effective formula (we go through it by the bucketful).*  2700 mg

Ashwagandha: One of the main tonic herbs of Ayurveda (the traditional medical system of India), ashwagandha is taken for fatigue, overwork, sexual debility, and general weakness. Also used for insomnia, this plant tends to fortify without stimulating. Recently, ashwagandha has been used for immune support, to reduce incidence and duration of colds. Our potent full- spectrum extract provides 1.5% of the key markers, withanolides.*  1000 mg

Peak Nutrients Energy Formula: Made in portland and formulated by a naturopathic doctor, this is a fantastic multivitamin & multimineral with many additional fortifying nutritional supplements, including amino acids, coenzyme Q-10, ginseng, green tea extract and much more. Guarana seed extract and green tea extract provide a small amount of caffeine and guaranine (a similar substance).*
