If you are familiar with the Natural Fertility Diet you will know that we emphasize the importance of greens in the diet, making sure to eat one salad a day as well as one dark leafy green vegetable such as kale, spinach, or chard. Leafy greens and vegetables supply the body with important minerals and nutrients. The body needs to have a healthy acid/alkaline balance to function its best. Most diets today are very acidic (full of meat, sugar and white, processed foods) and need to have more fruits and vegetables incorporated into them.

Having a healthy alkaline environment is important for allowing the sperm to survive and make it to the egg. A mineral in the vaginal fluids activates the whipping of the sperms tail so it can begin to travel and make its long journey. If this mineral is not present the snapping action may be weak or not activated. Creating a healthy body begins with eating mineral rich foods, green vegetables being at the top of the list.

While this is ideal I wanted to make sure that you are getting your greens no matter what comes up in your day so we created a concentrate of sprouts, green vegetables, seaweeds and nourishing herbs to help fill in the gaps. FertiliGreens was created to help make getting greens into your diet as easy as possible. This green superfood blend contains a ton of green grasses, seaweeds, sprouts, and medicinal herbs.

Two Teaspoons per day supply the body with an abundance of minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. Tastes great in fertility smoothies or apple juice.

Fertilica FertiliGreens Formula Contains:

Spinach Leaf – Spinach has to be one of my favorite greens, they are mild tasting and super rich in nutrients. Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, vitamin C, vitamin B2, calcium, potassium, and vitamin B6. It is a very good source of dietary fiber, copper, protein, phosphorus, zinc and vitamin E. In addition, it is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, niacin and selenium. Spinach is a super-food that provides the body with an enormous amount of healthy vitamins and nutrients that are important for fertility and pregnancy. Spinach is rich in iron and folic acid, two nutrients which are important to reproduction and fetal health. Folic acid is important in preventing neural tube defects in the fetus, and iron helps to promote oxygen levels in cells, organs and the fetus.

Organic Alfalfa leaf – As a food, alfalfa provides beta-carotene and vitamins C, E, and K. Alfalfa is viewed by many as a super-food that is used to help a number of health conditions including fertility.

Organic Wheat Grass – Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available. Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain chlorophyll. The brain and all body tissues function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment. Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls put them on wheatgrass to restore fertility. (The high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones.) Wheat grass is beneficial to fertility for the number of positive effects it has on the body. Consumption of wheat grass helps to balance PH levels in the body to make a more suitable environment for ova and sperm. It increases oxygen levels in the body to improve cell and organ structure and acts as an overall fertility enhancer.

Barley Grass is considered to be one of the most balanced nutrient profiles of all green plants because of its abundance in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids proteins, active enzymes and chlorophyll. The nutrients contained in barley grass may help to increase fertility by improving the condition of both sperm and eggs. Barley grass is very high in folic acid which is an essential nutrient women need to prevent birth defects from occurring. Barley grass is high in protein, amino acids and enzymes that promote sexual vitality and healthy reproductive organs.

Spirulina – Spirulina is a tiny aquatic plant that has been eaten by humans since prehistoric times and is grown worldwide as a healthy food.

Green Tea – Research has shown that green tea is very beneficial to the body, and fertility is no exception. Green tea is very high in antioxidants which can help to repair damage that has occurred to our reproductive organs.
