Due to mineral loss in our soil and chronic stress many individuals are depleted in essential electrolytes, especially magnesium. Stress utilizes vitamins and minerals at an expedited rate to service the body and ensure it survives the stressor. Consequently, stress can leave us depleted of many of our essential nutrients, such as magnesium, vitamin B12 and sodium. We require a greater intake of these nutrients when stressed or undergoing high intensity exercise. This blend is beneficial for replacing electrolytes consistently lost through sweat, urination, elimination and stress. Due to the presence of absorbable magnesium and magnesium’s role in nerve function, this effectively moderates the stress response and promotes a calming effect on the brain, helping you feel more grounded and rested throughout the day and at night.

Natural flavors are defined as flavors derived from plant or animal sources, including fruit, meat, fish, herbs, roots, leaves, buds or bark that are distilled, fermented or manipulated in a lab. Natural flavors sometimes receive a negative connotation because there is little regulation on ingredients that can be labeled as “natural flavors”. Therefore, they can be used to mask questionable ingredients like MSG, but that is not the case with the natural flavors we have selected.

Outside of the essential oil extracts derived from blueberry and other botanicals, the only other natural flavoring ingredients listed are dextrose as the carrier and silicon dioxide as the anti-caking agent.

Add one scoop of minerals to water before bed and after intense exercise. Do not consume within 30 minutes of a meal.

Sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium glycinate and calcium citrate. As a bonus our minerals also include the vitamin, vitamin B12, which aids in nerve function and energy production.

Vitamin B12 has many different roles in the body. Since a lot of us struggle with varying degrees of chronic stress we are frequently depleted of this precious vitamin. It has an important role in making sure our bodies are able to produce cellular energy and function properly. It is also necessary for cell growth and brain function. We include B12 to help you feel ready to deal with all of life’s stressors.

If you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have any medical condition, always consult your health care professional prior to using any SWW® products. With that said, SWW® Restore is an excellent way to get the added minerals your body needs during pregnancy. Please always consult your doctor first before taking any product.

One of our primary pillars at SWW® is alkalization! We believe that due to our current environment full of toxins and the Standard American Diet, most individuals are constantly operating in a more acidic state, which leads to mineral depletion. After a full day, intense workouts, likely some indulgences at dinner, this blend not only helps replace depleted minerals but re-alkalizes the body before you go to bed at night. We want you to be ready for your nightly detox.

We use monk fruit! Monk fruit is a natural, non-calorie sweetener. It supports healthy blood glucose levels and typically does not cause any digestive issues.

Alkamind: The primary benefit of Restore over Alkamind is the additional ingredients of vitamin B12, L-theanine and double the amount of magnesium. The additional magnesium will provide more of a calming effect to the brain to support a wind-down routine before bed as well as muscle relaxation. As stress causes depletion of magnesium and magnesium has a necessary role for inhibiting an overactive stress response, most individuals require greater levels of magnesium than what they are currently getting in their diet.

LMNT: This is not entirely a comparable product as they both have completely different goals. The goal of LMNT is to replace electrolytes lost when exercising / sweating - hence the high concentration of sodium chloride and potassium chloride. The purpose of Restore is to support acid base balance and increase magnesium intake - hence utilizing sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate to neutralize acid.

Moon Juice: These are not really comparable products as Moon Juice only contains various forms of magnesium and L-theanine, not any other minerals. Its main purpose is to increase magnesium intake and L-theanine to promote a calming effect on the brain and support individuals dealing with an overactive stress response. SWW® is implementing this as well as replacing other electrolytes to support electrolyte balance and enhance alkalinity in the body.

ATHlytes: Similar to LMNT, this is not entirely a comparable product as they both have different goals. The goal of ATHlytes is to replace electrolytes lost when exercising / sweating - hence the high concentration of sodium from himalayan sea salt. The purpose of SWW® Restore is to support acid base balance and increase magnesium intake - hence utilizing sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate to neutralize acid.

CALM: These are not really comparable products as CALM only contains magnesium carbonate, not any other minerals. Its main purpose is to increase magnesium intake. SWW® Restore uses a more absorbable form of magnesium, magnesium glycinate, and replaces other electrolytes to support electrolyte balance and enhance alkalinity in the body.

We at SWW® love to use a portable frother and froth the minerals in 4 ounces of cold water. However, you can just as easily mix it into cold water with a fork.

Some minerals require more wetting time than others in order to fully dissolve. In our blend, as tested by the lab, the magnesium glycinate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride and natural blueberry mostly fully dissolve in water. Calcium citrate, also present in our blend as a natural preservative, will mostly dissolve with some slight settling over time. This is natural as calcium citrate is not fully soluble in water. We recommend you consume immediately upon mixing to avoid unnecessary settling.

Yes, our magnesium is in the form of magnesium glycinate. This is one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium, unlikely to have a negative impact on the GI tract. Magnesium has a calming effect on the body, supports a healthy stress response, and promotes better sleep. It also promotes the production of the neurotransmitter, GABA, in the brain, which calms down nerve activity.

Yes, but the amount depends on your lifestyle and what your needs are. If you are dealing with a lot of stress you may need more magnesium. If you just finished a really intense workout and you are depleted of salt, you may need to add an electrolyte packet to your water. It really depends on you and what your lifestyle looks like. Yet you should always eat mineral-rich, whole, nutritious foods in addition to these supplements.

Yes. SWW® product subscriptions require a 2-month minimum commitment. You are able to cancel anytime after the initial 2 months.

L-theanine is an amazing amino acid found in high concentrations of green tea. We have added it to our blend as it further supports the calming and restorative impact of our mineral blend. L-theanine increases alpha waves in the brain, helping you feel more calm and rested. It also inhibits activity of the excitatory neurotransmitter, l-glutamine, so you feel less anxious. It has incredible benefits of down regulating an overactive stress response so you feel more relaxed and able to enter a deeper sleep at night.

Although vitamin B12 is an excellent booster for supporting energy and cognitive function in some individuals it can be quite stimulating and interfere with falling asleep at night. We are still a huge proponent of the benefits of vitamin B12 but we reduced the amount so it would have less of a stimulating effect in the evening. In addition, we added L-theanine as it is an extremely effective amino acid in helping support brain function by reducing physiological and psychological stress responses and decreasing anxiety-like symptoms. Thus, it functions as a helpful calming aid to encourage a restful night's sleep.

Due to mineral loss in our soil and chronic stress many individuals are depleted in essential electrolytes, especially magnesium. Stress utilizes vitamins and minerals at an expedited rate to service the body and ensure it survives the stressor. Consequently, stress can leave us depleted of many of our essential nutrients, such as magnesium, vitamin B12 and sodium. We require a greater intake of these nutrients when stressed or undergoing high intensity exercise. This blend is beneficial for replacing electrolytes consistently lost through sweat, urination, elimination and stress. Due to the presence of absorbable magnesium and magnesium’s role in nerve function, this effectively moderates the stress response and promotes a calming effect on the brain, helping you feel more grounded and rested throughout the day and at night.

We recommend alkalizing first thing in the morning before you expose yourself to any additional acids, which can come from coffee, exercise and daily stressors. We also recommend alkalizing again in the afternoon after you have exposed yourself to a lot of daily stressors and before you indulge at dinner time.

Greens are extremely alkalizing. Various studies have found that a diet greater than nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day has been shown to increase urine pH, reduce urinary calcium excretion and potentially improve bone turnover markers. Excess acidic exposure can increase bone turnover markers as our bodily minerals (many which are stored in our bones) are utilized as temporary buffers. Over time this can lead to excessive bone break down. Consuming more greens is a simple and effective way to increase our vegetable intake and thus support the body’s ability to alkalize.

We have billions of bacteria that reside within our digestive tract. Their role is to break down undigested food in order to support waste removal and to have healthy elimination. Yet, just like anything else, bacteria (probiotics) need to be fed. Bacteria love fiber (prebiotics). Greens (rich in fiber) function as natural prebiotics. The more we feed those good bacteria the more we will have regular bowel movements and a healthier GI tract. Greens will only help amp up this process!

Although our liver is our main detox organ, those toxins then need to be removed through sweating, urination, breathing or elimination. The more we feed our good bacteria and support elimination the more we support our bodies’ natural detox process to remove toxins. If you aren’t having regular bowel movements then you are not regularly detoxifying.

Alkalize only contains eight ingredients! That’s it. It contains: Organic Wheat Grass Powder, Organic Barley Grass Powder, Organic Oat Grass Powder, Organic Spinach Powder, Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder, Organic Alfalfa Grass Juice Powder, Organic Kale Powder, Organic Turmeric Powder.

Yes! SWW® Alkalize is 100% gluten-free. It includes seven different greens and turmeric, with no gluten added.

There are no additives and fillers. It is just organic greens and turmeric. Nothing else.

Alkamind: The primary benefit of the SWW greens over the Alkamind greens is the simplified ingredient list. Less is more. Alkalize only contains eight ingredients compared to the 21 ingredients of Alkamind. Alkamind also contains an organic sprout blend, outside of just pure greens. The SWW Alkalize blend focuses on specific ingredients. As there are less additional ingredients, each of the eight ingredients in Alkalize are in a higher concentration per serving size. Alkalize also contains no sweeteners or natural flavors, compared to Alkamind using monk fruit and natural flavors in their flavored blends. 

AG1: The primary benefit of Alkalize over AG1 is it is 100% organic and only contains eight ingredients. AG1 greens is not entirely a greens powder as it has many other additives which could cause individuals to have a negative reaction. AG1 contains 75 ingredients. AG1 also contains unnecessary additives such as: soy lecithin, pea protein isolate, added vitamins and minerals, silicon dioxide, and natural flavoring. It is also not just a greens powder. It contains added herbs and adaptogens. The more you add other ingredients the less you have of the greens to get their potent alkalizing benefits. The greens in AG1 are also not organic. Based on the excessive ingredients, AG1 will break your fast.

Amazing Grass: The primary benefit of Alkalize over Amazing Grass is it does not contain any additives and it is 100% organic. It is a much simpler formulation of only eight ingredients. Amazing grass contains unnecessary additives: silica (a filler), green tea leaf extract, maca root (a stimulant). Not all of Amazing Grass’s ingredients are organic. 

Raw Organic Garden of Life: The primary benefit of the Alkalize over the Garden of Life greens is the simplified ingredient list. This caters to a much wider audience and is focused on a specific goal (alkalize and detox) rather than trying to squeeze in as many ingredients as possible. Both are completely organic but Garden of life has a lot more ingredients: green juice blend, fruit and vegetable antioxidant blend, sprout blend and enzymes and probiotics. Although it is a good blend the list of ingredients makes it difficult for anyone who has food allergies. This is often a concern for autoimmune individuals. 

Welleco: The primary benefit of Alkalize over Welleco is it is 100% organic and only contains eight ingredients. Welleco greens is not entirely a greens powder as it has many other additives outside of simple greens which could cause individuals to have a negative reaction. As there are less additional ingredients, each of the eight ingredients in the Alkalize are in a higher concentration per serving size. Welleco also has added unnecessary ingredients: gum blend (guar gum, xanthan gum, gum acacia), added vitamins and minerals, added amino acids, green tea leaf extract (stimulating). Welleco also contains added herbs and adaptogens. Eleuthero should only be consumed for specific stages of the stress response and not indefinitely. It is a more stimulating herb. Individuals can have sensitivities and negative responses to various herbal extracts. Welleco is not 100% organic.

We at SWW® love to use a portable frother and froth the greens in 4 ounces of cold water. However, you can just as easily mix it into cold water with a fork.

Turmeric provides amazing benefits for supporting a healthy inflammatory response. This then further supports detoxification and alkalizing in the body.

Yes! We at SWW® are huge advocates for making vegetables a large part of your diet. Yet, we are aware many individuals struggle to get in fresh, organic greens on a daily basis. We wanted to provide you with something to up your intake in a very convenient way.

It is not sweetened! It is just plain and simple, greens.

If you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have any medical condition, always consult your healthcare professional prior to using any SWW® products. With that said, SWW® Alkalize is an excellent way to get the alkalizing greens your body needs during pregnancy. Please always consult your doctor first before taking any product.

Due to the natural sugars found in plants, a green juice will most likely break your fast (even if it doesn’t include any fruit). We still love a good green juice and think this is a great addition to an afternoon alkalize but a greens powder, made up of dehydrated greens and dehydrated greens juice, will not break your morning fast. It is also easy to incorporate into your routine and is more cost effective.

Alkalize contains approximately six servings of daily greens in one scoop. This is amazing as the recommended daily intake for fruits and vegetables is about 3-4 servings a day.

It will not! When you take Alkalize first thing in the morning you will be sure to still remain in that healthy, desired fat burning mode.

Yes. SWW® product subscriptions require a 2-month minimum commitment. You are able to cancel anytime after the initial 2 months.
