WATERCRESS with added Algae 
Watercress has long been regarded as a ‘super food’. The ancient Greeks built hospitals next to the streams where watercress could be grown, Anglo Saxons ate it to ‘spring clean’ the blood, and Irish monks where thought to live longer on a diet of watercress and bread. It is even suggested that eating a bag of watercress is a great cure for a hangover! Returning to the 21st Century it would appear that our ancestors did have the right idea. Watercress has a very high nutritional value and offers amazing health benefits. It is beginning to be promoted as a 'must-have' in every diet. The plant has enough admirers to command its own dedicated website and there is even a watercress festival held annually in the UK, which this year was supported by the BBC Good Food Guide and celebrity chef Anthony Worrell-Thompson. Numerous scientific experiments and research has shown that watercress has many detoxifying properties. It assists in cleaning the liver and kidneys, helps the healthy function of the bladder and urinary passages, and promotes healthy digestion. Furthermore, watercress supports the immune system, helps purify the blood, and is found to be refreshing for the heart and blood vessels as it contains natural omega-3 and iron. Its anti-cancer properties continue to be studied with many positive results being established. Watercress also offers a great complement to beauty and suntanning regimes as it helps protect against Free Radicals. The natural detoxifying process of the liver contributes to a more beautiful skin. Through this inner cleansing we are able to remove undesired substances from the body. Less toxins result in a radiant and glowing skin. The ever youthful (and ever-green) Liz Hurley is a well known follower of the watercress diet. However, it has long been understood that being healthy on the inside contributes greatly to looking good on the outside. As far back as 400 years ago an English philosopher named Francis Bacon claimed that eating watercress could; “restore youthful bloom to women”. Goodness encapsulated Many salons are already familiar with selling detox capsules - underlining the link between a healthy inside to a beautiful outside appearance - and a specialised farming company in Belgium has discovered how the watercress plant can be processed into a capsule format, whereby the goodness and nutritional benefits are even enhanced!
Many people who have used watercress capsules have noticed an improvement in their skin condition. Both regular watercress and the capsule form contain Vitamins A and C which keep skin healthy and feeling smooth.

Algae "Chlorella pyrenoidosa", is a freshwater single-celled green algae, it is more popular in Japan as a regular supplement than vitamin C. An estimated 5 million Japanese use this medicinal algae every day.
