Nutrient characteristics and expected effects
Nutritional analysis showed that it contains the most dietary fiber and potassium of the four products.
Potassium has the effect of expelling harmful substances from the body, increasing metabolism, and cleaning and detoxifying the body.
In addition, dietary fiber is a component that can pass through the small intestine and reach the large intestine without being digested or absorbed. Therefore, it is known to have an intestinal regulating effect such as preventing constipation, but it can also be expected to have a diet effect.
It has the characteristic of regulating intestinal flora, suppressing fat absorption, helping the excretion of lipids, and slowing down the absorption of sugar.
Superfoods used and their characteristics
Green Monster is packed with the great qualities of green superfoods.
Mugwort, the queen of herbs, contains a balanced amount of vitamins and minerals that support metabolism, and chlorophyll enhances the detoxifying effect that cleanses the body.
Kumazasa, which is rich in dietary fiber, and shell ginger, which is rich in polyphenols, can help regulate your intestinal environment and support your diet, and can even help fundamentally change your constitution and make your body more likely to lose weight.
