 Essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 (prevents inflammatory conditions),
 Pectin (known to lower cholesterol),

 Vitamins and minerals (to support all bodily functions),
 Antioxidants (protection from free radicals that damage and destroy healthy cells),
 Coenzyme Q10 (reduces many signs of aging),
 Glutathione (immune system support, detoxifying agent),
 Noradrenaline (supports adrenal glands),

 Purslane is a uniquely nutritious plant, rich in natural fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants, and glutathione. Purslane is rich in easily absorbed vitamin C and E, which is known to increase immunity to disease. Dried purslane has about five times more vitamin E than spinach. It is also a good source of coenzyme Q10.

 Purslane is rich in pectin, which is known to lower cholesterol. It has been used as a hypolipidemic agent (lowers the fat content of blood) and in the healing of wounds, boils and burn injuries. Minerals found in Purslane include phosphorus, zinc, silicon, copper, calcium, manganese, magnesium, iron and abnormally high levels of potassium.

 This palatable vegetable is very well endowed with nutrients and ranks in the top percentile of RDI [recommended dietary intake] for alpha-linolenic-acid, beta-carotene, tocopherol, magnesium and potassium.
