Benefits of Dr Rhonda Patrick’s Smoothie
This smoothie is exceptionally high in magnesium, which is at the centre of the chlorophyll molecule and is a cofactor for over 300 enzymes in the body!
Magnesium is critical to our overall health, but over 45% of the population is deficient in magnesium. The leafy greens in this smoothie also make it high in folate.
When folate is absent, uracil is used for DNA replication, which causes DNA strands to break. This smoothie prevents that problem.
Dr Rhonda Patrick also mentions the smoothie is high loads of other vitamins and minerals. Still, in her video, she discusses some of the other lesser-known benefits and ingredients, such as hormetic plant compounds, prebiotics, and hydrolyzed collagen.
