PRIMARY MICRO NUTRIENTS	manganese, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, Vitamin B1
SECONDARY MICRO NUTRIENTS	Vitamin B3
TERTIARY MICRO NUTRIENTS	Vitamin B2, B6, Folate
NUTRITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS	Superfood: Extremely high in vital micronutrients as well as protein and beneficial fat Protein bioavailablity is superior to other plant foods (1) and also contains all essential amino acids
FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS and AMINO ACIDs	Anti-arthritis (2) Anti-cancer properties (3), (4), (5) Cardio Vascular health protection from beneficial monounsaturated vegetable fat high content of Arginine – Amino acid essential for formation of Nitric Oxide (NOx)
NOTES	Nitric Oxide (NOx) allows blood vessels to relax and remain smooth prevents platelet aggregation leads to beneficial effect on cholesterol and blood vessel as well as cardiovascular protective properties
