UMAC-CORE's key ingredient is Alpha-3 CMP(Concentrated Marine Phytoplankton). It is a complete whole food containing a combination of rich nutrients, amino acids, rare trace minerals and vitamins. It provides everything our bodies require to keep cells healthy, vital and strong.The high density of nutrients found in Alpha-3 CMP maintain human cell membranes in structure and function. This is vital for cell detoxification and for the overall metabolism of human cells. It is a renewable and sustainable source that helps restore, strengthen and balance our entire system. It has many elements that many of us now lack, including carotenoids, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular material not found in this combination in other "super green" foods. This is the only known product to take natural marine phytoplankton communities containing a complete suite of marine trace elements in proportion to those found naturally in human plasma. The mineral elements and electrolytes in phytoplankton are almost tailor-made for the human body. Our bodies need these elements to perform as nature intended. Left to its own devices, the human body has a marvelous system called homeostasis which keeps all systems in balance. Take away any critical component and the body experiences malfunctions that cause less than optimal performance which, in turn, may lead to disease. In fact, the causes of diseases have been simplified to very specific mechanisms, all of which center on cell membrane function and structure. Inflammation, Oxidation, Toxicity and Mitochondrial dysfunction keep cell membranes from doing their job effectively. Alpha-3 CMP has the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory micronutrients needed to fuel metabolism and detoxification.
