Ingredients
Good nutrition is a foundation of good health, and Star Food is built on wholefood ingredients. But many traditions teach that spirit and consciousness need nourishing too. Ancient cultures such as the Sumerians, Babylonians and Egyptians are said to have treasured an exotic substance to feed the etheric or light body. It was called Starfire, Sho Bread or White Powder Gold – or, to give it its modern name, Monatomic Gold.
Monatomic gold has fascinated researchers for decades. Pioneers such as David Hudson reported astonishing behaviour in the laboratory, from superconductivity to a puzzling response to gravity, and its story has inspired wonder about the nature of space, time and consciousness. It was so revered in ancient times that, according to legend, a mystery school known as the Great White Brotherhood was devoted to its secrets.
Star Food is a natural raw wholefood, combining some of nature’s finest foods with naturally sourced monatomic gold, monatomic rhodium and monatomic iridium. Researchers such as Laurence Gardner and David Hudson described these sources as rich in potassium, magnesium and rubidium too.
This wholefood blend of bee pollen, certified organic barley grass, certified organic maca, aloe vera and pineapple brings together vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids in their naturally occurring state. Star Food contains no fillers – every ingredient is there for a reason.
Star Food is a simple way to add more wholefood ingredients to your daily routine. Many of us find it hard to eat as much fresh, whole food as we would like, and the way food is grown, processed and cooked all affects what ends up on our plate. A wholefood blend keeps the natural complexity of whole ingredients, rather than relying on single isolated nutrients.
Here are just a few more reasons to give Star Food a try. It’s not just monatomic gold you’ll find in Star Food – it is full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids in their naturally occurring state.
Bee Pollen
Many people prefer to get their nutrients from whole foods rather than isolated supplements – and bee pollen is a perfect example.
Bee pollen has been treasured for centuries and is sometimes called one of nature’s most complete foods. It is a raw, natural food gathered by bees, who are remarkably selective – choosing the richest pollens and leaving poorer ones behind.
Bee pollen naturally contains a wide range of amino acids, along with vitamins, minerals and other natural plant compounds, making it a much-loved addition to smoothies, cereals and wholefood blends.
Barley Grass, certified organic
This wholesome green food is made from the powdered leaves of organically grown young barley plants (Hordeum vulgare), providing a concentrated source of vegetable greens. Its bright green colour comes from its abundant chlorophyll, and barley grass naturally contains minerals, vitamins and dietary fibre.
Barley grass naturally provides chlorophyll, mixed carotenoids, folic acid, protein, omega-3 and dietary fibre.
Maca, Lepidium meyenii
The superior quality maca used in STAR FOOD is certified organic, not irradiated and not genetically modified. First cultivated by the Incas, maca is a hardy plant grown high in the Andes, at altitudes of up to 14,500 feet. The part used is the root, which looks like a large radish. Sometimes called ‘Peruvian ginseng’, maca has been prized in the Andes for centuries and is a wonderful natural source of amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
The species grown commercially for harvest is "Lepidium meyenii, Walpers". The best Maca is grown in the Junin Plateau and the key factors resulting in good quality Maca are altitude, soil type and microclimate.
Dried Maca Root is rich in complex carbohydrates, amino acids and essential nutrients. The protein content of Maca is mainly in the form of polypeptides and amino acids. It contains significant amounts of fatty acids, sterols, vitamins B1, B2, C, E and minerals. In addition to its rich supply of essential nutrients, Maca contains alkaloids, tannins and saponins.
Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis), certified organic
Aloe vera has been treasured since ancient times – the Egyptians are said to have called it the ‘plant of immortality’. A member of the lily family native to North Africa, aloe vera contains more than 200 naturally occurring compounds, including vitamins, minerals and amino acids, found in the leaf, the sap and the clear gel inside. Aloe gel is especially rich in polysaccharides.
The Aloe Vera in STAR FOOD combines all the ingredients of the leaf including the outer Aloe rind, as this contains numerous bioactive ingredients including the glycoproteins, polysaccharides and important enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase.
The long-chain polysaccharide mannan in our aloe vera is not broken down during manufacturing, so its original structure is preserved. Aloe vera is also a natural source of mannose and other plant sugars, sometimes known as glyconutrients.
There are two groups of substances in Aloe Vera based on their molecular weight. The high molecular weight substances are a range of mannans, other glycoproteins and a variety of enzymes while the low molecular weight substances are Saponins, Flavonoids, Fatty acids and their esters, Tannins, Sulphur derivatives, Glucosamine, glutamine, terpenoids and biological growth factors.
Each of these substances is fascinating in its own right, and in aloe vera they come together in one remarkable plant.
Pineapple
Tropical pineapple adds a natural, fruity note to Star Food, along with the nutrients that whole fruit brings.
Here’s what makes pineapple special:
- Pineapple is the natural source of bromelain, an enzyme found mainly in the stem and core that breaks down proteins – which is why fresh pineapple is famous for tenderising meat.
- Pineapple is low in calories, sodium, saturated fats and cholesterol while being a rich source of fibre, so it's a great choice for a healthy diet.
- Pineapple is naturally rich in vitamin C, one of the best-known vitamins found in fresh fruit.
- Pineapple also contains a range of natural antioxidants and plant compounds – part of what makes whole fruit such a valuable part of a varied diet.
- Pineapple is notably high in manganese, a trace mineral, and also provides thiamine and other B vitamins.
- Pineapple also contains vitamin A and beta-carotene, vitamins B1 and B6, copper and potassium.
So to sum up: pineapple is a delicious, nutrient-rich fruit and a natural partner for the other wholefood ingredients in Star Food – plus it tastes great.
