Dr. Cowan’s Garden Low Oxalate Greens Powder is an easy way to get green vegetable nutrition in your diet.
Unlike most green powders, it is free of cheap grass fillers like wheat grass, barley grass, and alfalfa. Greens without grass, the way it should be.
Dr. Cowan’s Garden starts by choosing organic green vegetables that are naturally lower in oxalates, then steams and blanches them before drying to reduce the oxalate and goitrogen levels, to provide you with the most nutrient dense green foods without the downsides.
Oxalates are simple molecules found in the leaves of many plants. For some susceptible people, when excessive amounts of oxalates are ingested, the oxalates bind with calcium in the blood and cause both damaging inflammation and precipitation in the form of kidney stones. The dilemma, however, is that a low-oxalate diet can lead to the avoidance of otherwise very beneficial foods, such as greens. That is why they developed their Low-Oxalate Greens Powder.
After researching the oxalate content of various greens, three emerged as the most tasty and nutritious while significantly lower in oxalates than others. Their locally sourced, organic lacinato kale, collard greens and mustard leaves will give you the health benefits from the regular consumption of green vegetables while reducing your oxalate exposure.
