As we’re walking into spring, everything around us is blooming and coming back to life. The sun rises a little earlier with each day and there are a few more minutes of daylight. What comes with that - more sun exposure and vitamin D synthesis. In short, it’s time to grow and thrive, which demands energy. Let’s have a look into Emerald Nutrition formulation and how it can enhance our energy levels during this new season.
Emerald Nutrition
As a greens blend, EN is based on a blend of fruits, vegetables and grasses – ranging from wheatgrass and spinach to chlorella and spirulina – all of which are nutritional bombs – packed with vitamins and minerals including:
Iron
Needed for oxygen transport in the body. This ensures that all cells in the body can get enough oxygen to perform their best function - keeping the mind alert and focused and body ready for everyday activities and challenges.
Vitamin D
As mentioned, vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin. It is needed for many physiological processes occurring throughout the body and is a crucial chemical for the mitochondrial function that gives us energy. Vitamin D can also increase our dopamine levels – linked with lifting our mood, attention and memory. Providing our body with vitamin D is like charging our inner batteries, which comes with the added benefit of improved motivation and mood.
Vitamin C
Firstly, vitamin C helps to absorb iron and contributes to healthy mitochondrial function. Secondly, it supports l-carnitine production which helps to convert fats (from the food we eat) into energy.
Vitamin B complex
B vitamins act as coenzymes for many metabolic reactions. They help the body with cellular energy production. Inadequate vitamin B intake can result in physical fatigue.
Alongside powdered fruits, vegetables and grasses, Emerald Nutrition formula includes a blend of 25 vitamins and minerals at 50% of the daily Reference Intake* and selected clinically studied ingredients which reduce fatigue and promote energy release.
Haskapa
Freeze-dried Haskap berry powder. Full of anti-oxidants, contains high levels of vitamin C and the highest recorded anthocyanin content amongst berries. The role of anthocyanins includes increased production of Nitric Oxide – responsible for cardiovascular health, increased blood flow and oxygen delivery to all tissues and cells. This translates to improved athletic performance, energy levels, attention and memory.
Beetroot
Similarly to Haskapa, supports NO synthesis by improving body oxygen transport, and reducing fatigue.
Matcha
Contains naturally occurring small amounts of caffeine. The combination of caffeine and L-Theanine in matcha increases alertness, energy and improved cognition without jitters and crashes.

CoQ10
Like L-Carnitine, Coenzyme Q10 helps the body convert the food we eat into energy – using carbohydrates to produce ATP.
Moringa
Known as the "miracle tree" or "tree of life" is rich in vitamins, including vitamin Bs, vitamin C and iron. Moringa may support in mitochondrial function. Moringa also contains tryptophan - a precursor to serotonin (the "happiness" hormone). Taken in the morning, it can improve our energy, focus and alertness.
Cordyceps
Traditionally known and used in Chinese medicine to increase energy and endurance. Cordyceps contains B vitamins, and has been shown to help the body produce more ATP – a molecule used by the body in energy production processes.
