Tina's Tidbit:
I met the Japanese lady who now lives in California and grows Ashitaba on her organic farm. This is an unusual and potent Japanese herb, and a very powerful antioxidant, twice that of green tea. It provides energy without caffeine and is sold in juice bars at major Japanese subway stations 24/7! It also relieves pain, aids in weightloss, increases mental clarity, and is cited in many testimonials for “helping” cancer (we have to be careful about what we say because of the FDA).

Energize Without Caffeine
In Japan, major subway stations have Ashitaba juice bars to provide healthy energy drinks 24/7. Preventing enormous healthcare costs by protecting your health certainly is easy to understand, and, makes sense.
Ashitaba: What is it?
Ashitaba has strong anti-tumor (inhibits skin and lung cancer), anti-thrombus, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic and anti-ulcer properties. It has been effective in treating AIDS, many types of cancers and inhibits LDL cholesterol. Ashitaba has been shown to stabilize blood sugar levels and improve insulin response in diabetics.
Ashitaba: What is in it?
Ashitaba is a multi-functional super green food that can help you slow aging and stay healthy. A green leafy vegetable, it contains antioxidant flavonoids and is rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and fiber. Most plants are devoid of vitamin B12, which is normally only obtainable through meat, fish and eggs. However, Ashitaba is a good source of this nutrient, making it an ideal supplement for vegetarians.
Ashitaba is rich in Coumarins
These are potent antioxidants, which have been found to contain anti-carcinogenic properties.1 They are particularly abundant in Ashitaba and other foods such as citrus fruit and celery.
Ashitaba is rich in Chalcones
Unique to Ashitaba is a class of flavonoid compounds called Chalcones. They are contained in the peculiar yellow sap oozing from the plant when cut. Research has shown that they are potent antioxidants, protecting cells from free radical damage, which is associated with accelerating the aging process and many degenerative diseases, including cancer.2
The Chalcones also suppress the excessive secretion of gastric juice in the stomach, which is often caused by stress and can lead to stomach ulcers. In addition they help strengthen the immune system, regulate blood pressure and cholesterol, and exhibit anti-viral and anti-bacterial activities.3, 4
Chalcones have also been found to stimulate the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which is synthesized in tiny amounts in the body and is essential in the development and survival of certain neurons (nerve cells) in the peripheral and central nervous system. NGF is believed to have the potential to alleviate Alzheimer's disease and peripheral neuropathy, a common neurological disorder resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves, which originate from the brain and spinal cord and is common in diabetics. In an animal study conducted by the Biomedical Group, in Takara, Japan, there was a 20 per cent increase in NGF concentration after taking Ashitaba for just four days.5

Ashitaba is rich in Antioxidants
Research published in the September 2002 issue of Nutraceuticals World, showed that Ashitaba out-performed a range of herbs including sage, St. John's Wort, chamomile, dandelion, fennel, black tea and green tea for its antioxidant potential.6
Ashitaba is known as the "Treasure", "King of Vegetables" and "Longevity Herb"
from the Longevity Island, Hachi Jo Island in Japan.
