 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),

 Purslane is a uniquely nutritious plant, rich in natural fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants, and glutathione.
