Wellness solution provider Bodē Pro has launched a physician-formulated fruit and vegetable juice capsule, 3 Second Salad. The capsule delivers the phytonutrient equivalent of ten servings of fruits and vegetables in a convenient, ready-to-take format. 3 Second Salad features proprietary advanced micro-encapsulated system (AMES) beadlet technology, which enables a slower release of the delicate phytonutrients inside the capsule. The capsule is packed with a unique blend of 16 different fruit and vegetable sources, 72 essential minerals, and 5 digestive enzymes, which the company says makes it “the most potent fruit and veggie juice cap on the market”. Each capsule contains grape seed extract, wild blueberry, raspberry, cranberry, prune, tart cherry, wild bilberry, strawberry, broccoli sprout, carrot powder, onion extract, kale, broccoli extract, tomato powder, spinach powder and brussels sprouts, as well as the digestive enzyme and trace mineral blends. Bodē Pro’s CEO, Benson K. Boreyko, said: "We understand the importance of proper nutrition, but we also understand that not everyone has the time or the resources to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. That's why we created 3 Second Salad. It's unique and delivers the phytonutrient equivalent of 10 servings of fruits and vegetables in just three seconds.” According to Bodē Pro, it is the only company to invest in AMES beadlet technology, which uses a slow-reach protective coating that enables a measured, precise and controlled release, promoting maximum absorption. The beadlets are naturally sweetened, which gives consumers the option to open the capsule and sprinkle it on food and beverage items – this is particularly useful for individuals who do not want to swallow the capsule; children or the elderly, for example. Each ingredient in 3 Second Salad is sourced from a family farm, vine-ripened and flash-frozen to preserve maximum potency.
