Euglena Algae Firms Skin & Helps Sleep... Hey Everyone! Today we've got our Euglena on special through the end of the month. And as you'll see in just a moment, it offers some truly impressive benefits — from strengthening the skin and supporting the immune system to improving sleep in a meaningful way. Our Euglena gracilis is cultivated on the pristine Ishigaki Island of Japan. It's part of Okinawa Prefecture, which is one of the world's five "Blue Zones," renowned for its exceptionally high concentration of centenarians, with rates up to 68 per 100,000 residents, far exceeding global averages. The region's clean subtropical air, abundant sunshine, unpolluted waters, and nutrient-rich environment (e.g., from coral reefs) contribute to this longevity. What's unique about Euglena is that it's an Algae that is loaded with bioactive polysaccharide beta-glucans, which is the same component in mushrooms that is responsible for boosting the immune system. Normally, we would have to turn to mushrooms in order to get beta-glucans, such as Reishi or Chaga. However, with the discovery of this new Algae called Euglena, we can now get the highest amount of beta-glucans ever seen in any single food. What's crazy is that Euglena has a beta-glucan content greater than 45%! This means that when you take our Euglena, at least 45% of that powder that you ingest, is literally beta-glucans. This is unheard of. We literally just take the bulk Euglena ingredient, and throw it in a jar with zero other ingredients (fillers). The majority of other companies don't do this with their products. On top of that, research (link in the comments section below) shows a digestive absorption rate on Euglena at 93.1%! That digestive absorption rate is absolutely insane, and that is why so many people are getting such absurd results with the Euglena as you will see further below. What's absolutely crazy is that researchers found that Euglena gracilis has a cell wall made of paramylon beta-glucan granules, not cellulose, which makes it easier to digest compared to other mushrooms and algae's like chlorella or spirulina (which have tough cell walls). It is the only species of micro-algae, whose cells have a cell membrane instead of a cell wall, and that is one of the reasons why it has such a high absorption rate. So, Euglena is an extremely bioavailable nutritious algae that has 59 types of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, all of the amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of using Mushrooms in order to get these polysaccharide beta-glucans. However, we've found something that I feel is miraculously more effective, within the Algae Species realm. One of the main reasons that people cherish our Euglena Powder is for what it does for our Skins immunity, which I have never even heard of happening with a mushroom. In fact, in Japan, they have made an entire industry of Euglena Beauty Skin Products due to this. At the clinical study here (link in the comments section below), Euglena was added to skin fibroblasts through immune support pathways. When the euglena activated the immune cells, it was responsible for significantly increasing the gene expression of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is one of the moisturizing ingredients necessary for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. These results indicate that Euglena extract may boost immunity and, through it, maintain good skin firmness and elasticity. In laymen terms, they are suggesting that the Euglena has the potential to improve the skins firmness, tightness, and elasticity, through the activation and the production of Hyaluronic Acid. That is insane! It's all done through our skins immune system pathways. If you remember, we had a testimonial from a woman with Red Head Skin, who talked about the miraculous impact Euglena had on her sensitive skin when she took it internally. Here is that testimonial below: The Euglena is nothing short of a miracle for me. I bruise very easily. The gentlest touch causes me to have purple bruising and torn skin on my hands, arms and legs. I have redhead skin and the older I get the thinner my skin has become. I have had sores that don't heal as a result. The Euglena has Stopped the bruising completely. The Euglena is healing the wounds on my hands, arms and legs. The Euglena is making my skin thicker like it used to be long ago. The Euglena has improved my circulation as well. I'm not so cold this winter as I have been before. This is Huge! for me. So Please please let me know when you get another shipment in. I can't be without it Ever! It's improving the quality of my life everyday I take it. So Grateful. Lastly, it gives me instant energy that endures for hours, I'm not craving sweets any more, and it calms my nerves and helps me hold focus on any task I'm doing. My dogs like it too. Happy New Year to you and all at Team "Raw Food". Blessings to all." Also, in another testimonials, a person said it suppressed their appetite, similar to how the woman with the red head skin said she doesn't crave sweets anymore. Talk about Euglena being an awesome beauty algae! Euglena doesn't only boost your skin immunity, but obviously your entire immune system extremely well. In the clinical study here (link in the comments section below), Euglena, containing greater than 45% Beta-Glucans, just like ours was used. The endurance-trained participants reported fewer sick days, fewer upper respiratory tract infections, fewer symptom days, fewer episodes, and lower global severity measured as area under curve for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection symptoms per person compared to placebo. At the same time, other studies have found it helps to lower inflammation in the lungs of influenza virus-infected subjects; coupled with its ability to lower virus load. Many other clinical studies show immunity markers spike in charts when taking the Euglena, activating immune signaling pathways. Furthermore, Euglena builds a strong fortress in our gut. 70% - 80% of our immune cells are found in the gut, and a lot of the immune cells are localized at areas in the small intestine known as the Peyer's Patches. Peyer's Patches house a variety of immune cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells, and B cells. Robust and vigilant Peyer's Patches defend us against viral and bacterial infections. In March 2020, Prof Adachi of Tokyo Medical and Dental University, found that Euglena enhanced the Peyer's Patches and increased the activities of the immune cells in our intestine. Peyer's Patches decline rapidly with age so this finding offers a valuable insight into how we can maintain a youthful and robust immunity. If you have sleep issues due to being wired at night, then our Euglena may be just what you are looking for. At the study on Euglena here (link in the comments section below), they researched its impact on sleep quality in men under stress. Researchers actually measured brain wave patterns to track sleep depth (light, deep, and REM) and analyzed heart rate variability to evaluate autonomic nervous system balance. The results were remarkable: those taking Euglena experienced a significant increase in the number of measured deep sleep occurrences, and greater overall satisfaction with their rest, with benefits reversing once intake stopped. The heart rate variability that was monitored showed that Euglena intake helped regulate the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which is often disrupted during stress. Scientists believe this improvement stems from Euglena's ability to support the autonomic nervous system, reducing irritability and tension that interfere with restorative rest. A secondary factor may also be Euglena's role in enhancing beneficial gut bacteria, which can influence circadian rhythm and sleep regulation. On top of that, the studies [1], [2], [3], [4], Euglena has been shown to relieve symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis, attenuate atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions by down-regulating both Th1 and Th2 immune responses, lower inflammation throughout the body, and suppress carcinogenesis — including lung tumorigenesis triggered by tobacco smoke and ovarian cancer — through slowing tumor cell growth, modulation of gut microbiota metabolites, and supporting natural cell death pathways. Together, these findings highlight Euglena's bioactive polysaccharides as central to immune balance, inflammation reduction, and cancer risk mitigation. Lastly, as seen in studies [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], and [11], Euglena's benefits extend even further. It's been shown to support weight management by reducing white adipose tissue while improving glucose tolerance and fat metabolism, help regulate blood sugar in diabetes models, reduce inflammation throughout the body, protect the liver against fatty liver and fibrosis, promote healthier gut microbiota, and even provide protective effects against certain forms of cancer including colon. This remarkable algae not only boosts immunity and skin health, but also strengthens nearly every major system of the body. While most Algae's have a dark green color, the color of our Euglena actually has a light green tint. The chlorophyll content in Euglena is much lower compared to other algae's, but the purpose for taking Euglena is for its profound high level of absorbable bioactive beta-glucans. Chlorella and Spirulina, for example, don't even contain beta-glucans. Interestingly, Euglena is much easier for me to digest compared to any other algae. It's so easy on the system and you can mix it into water, juices and smoothies—or just take it straight off a spoon like I do. With GRAS status from the FDA (Generally Recognized As Safe), Our Euglena is normally $49.95 each. We have them 'At-Cost' today for only $31.47 each, when you get a 3-pack.

What If Postbiotics Matter More Than Probiotics?... Hey Everyone! As seen at the clinical study here (link in the comments section below), science has finally discovered that it is not Probiotics that cause all of the beneficial effects in the body, but the Postbiotics, which the probiotics create from feeding on prebiotics. The study states verbatim: “However, new scientific evidence points out that the beneficial health benefits of probiotics are not necessarily directly related to viable bacteria (probiotics). However, the metabolites or bacterial components (postbiotics) of the live bacteria are the driving force behind health promotion. Therefore, scientists gradually noticed that the beneficial effects of probiotics are based on metabolites, or cell lysates, and these factors are officially named “postbiotics” by the ISAPP.“ The study even states that the use of postbiotics may improve physical health, with the observed effects being independent of the presence of the actual bacteria (probiotics). Therefore, the presence of Probiotics doesn't even matter as long as there are Postbiotics present. However, near the end of that same study they mistakingly state that Postbiotics, unlike Probiotics, do not proliferate or grow in the gut and thus do not provide a sustained effect once supplementation is discontinued. As many of you know, I believe that’s flat-out wrong. In the private clinical study as you will see further below—conducted by my supplier using our actual Postbiotics—the results showed they stimulated probiotic growth over 100x greater than prebiotics. On top of that, recent cutting-edge studies [1], [2], and [3] suggest that postbiotics, like our 100% pure formula, may help support the growth and balance of beneficial gut bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium while helping create a healthier, more stable gut environment. Researchers are now exploring how postbiotics may contribute to longer-lasting microbiome changes by supporting gut barrier integrity, microbial balance, and beneficial metabolite production. Science is finally beginning to catch up to what we’ve been saying all along — that postbiotics may represent one of the most powerful new frontiers in gut health. Science used to believe that it was the Prebiotics that was the main factor that increases our gut population, because science works on cause and effect. They saw that Probiotics eat prebiotics and it results in probiotic growth. However, when probiotics eat prebiotics, they create Postbiotics, which is the actual factor that increases the probiotic population. Therefore, the prebiotics do it indirectly due to them assisting in the creation of the Postbiotics, which is what really does the job in probiotic proliferation. Here is the private clinical study conducted by my actual postbiotic supplier (see the image attached to this post): They tested two probiotic strains—Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis—by growing them with either Prebiotics (like inulin) or our actual Postbiotics. The results were crystal clear: the more Postbiotics they added, the more the probiotics exploded in growth. But with Prebiotics, not only was the growth much weaker, adding too much actually slowed it down. In simple terms, Postbiotics supercharged probiotic growth with no limit, while Prebiotics had a ceiling—and too much became counterproductive. (In the chart, blue is Postbiotics and tan is Prebiotics.) I came to the logical conclusion that probiotics can only make a limited amount of Postbiotics from Prebiotics, because there is a limit on how much they can feed, and too much Prebiotic actually slows them down—as you saw in the chart. But when you supplement with Postbiotics directly, you bypass that whole limitation. You’re giving your gut exactly what it needs to multiply good bacteria fast, without waiting for probiotics to make it. The result? Exponential probiotic growth that just keeps going. That’s why our Postbiotics are such a game-changer—and science is finally catching up, realizing that Postbiotics don’t just deliver a “one-hit shot” of probiotic beneficial byproducts; they actually create lasting, stabilizing changes in the microbiome long after supplementation ends. Our Postbiotics are the best Biotic available to mankind. As seen in the studies [1], [2], and [3], postbiotics, particularly short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate and acetate, have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential for digestive health, especially in conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These compounds help modulate gut movement, reduce discomfort and pain in the digestive tract, and enhance intestinal barrier integrity, leading to relief from symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Research also shows that postbiotics help keep your gut bacteria balanced and reduce inflammation throughout the body by feeding the cells that line your gut and boosting natural mucus production to protect the gut lining. Animal studies show that SCFAs can help seal a leaky gut and reduce gut-related pain, while gut-focused approaches have also shown promise in restoring healthy bacteria and helping with more regular bowel movements in IBS-like conditions. Our customers confirm this! Roxanne writes: "Hi Matt: Season Greetings to you guys as well. Wanted to report that the postbiotics are working very well for my IBS. No more IBS symptoms at all. Yay!!! My only concern is that if something should happen to you (hope never), how will I be able to continue on Matt Monarch postbiotics? Without the probiotics and postbiotics, IBS is severe which is why I am asking. Thank you for your assistance! RW" lol, yeah, I've got to start training Angela on how to run this business if I go, which hopefully won't happen anytime soon, lol. Here are a couple of more customers raving about our postbiotics, which helped their digestive health immensely. "I'm so excited about using these products. The Postbiotics I am using, which I got last week I already notice a difference. I don’t get the bloated feeling and I don’t have the acid reflux. I am sleeping better, my gut is happy. Thank you so much! HT" "Just got my postbiotics in the mail. I had an upset stomach for a reason unknown to me. I added a little of the postbiotics to my smoothie and the angels sang and a weight was lifted and all was right again in my world. Thanks for doing the work. Just thought I should let you know LT" Postbiotics don’t just transform your gut—they revolutionize your brain health too! Through the gut-brain axis, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in our Postbiotics boost serotonin production, reduce inflammation, and lower cortisol levels, helping ease depression, anxiety, and stress while sharpening mental clarity, as shown in studies [1], [2], and [3]. But did you know there’s a gut-skin axis too? As shown in the studies [1] and [2], postbiotics—especially short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)—play an important role in skin health through the gut-skin axis. These powerful compounds reduce systemic inflammation, which can calm conditions like acne and eczema, while strengthening the skin’s barrier to lock in hydration and protect against irritants. By supporting gut health, postbiotics help regulate immune responses and reduce oxidative stress, leading to clearer, healthier skin. Our Postbiotics deliver a therapeutic dose of these SCFAs, offering a natural way to glow from the inside out! Our Postbiotics are produced through a natural fermentation process using non-GMO microorganisms, including strains that are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. This traditional fermentation method naturally creates a rich mix of postbiotic compounds—such as organic acids, peptides, and bioactive metabolites—similar to what is found both in the human gut and in fermented foods like sauerkraut. In other words, this isn’t some synthetic knockoff—this is the real deal, made the way nature intended. Another huge advantage? Our Postbiotics are heat-stable and shelf-stable, meaning they don’t require refrigeration and aren’t affected by heat or processing like probiotics are. Probiotics must survive harsh conditions—like packaging, shipping, stomach acid, and even digestion itself—just to have a chance at helping. Our Postbiotics bypass all that, because they’re non-living metabolites, there’s no risk to immunocompromised individuals, and they come with a long shelf life and a clean safety profile. Plus, their structure is loaded with bioactive compounds—like signaling molecules, peptides, and antioxidants—that research shows can reduce inflammation, support immunity, regulate blood pressure, protect against abnormal cell growth, and even enhance antioxidant activity in the body. And here's what makes them even more exciting: they don’t just work temporarily—they reshape your gut microbiome and strengthen your gut lining, creating a healthier environment for your native beneficial bacteria to thrive. Many of our customers report feeling the benefits weeks after use, and we believe future studies will continue to prove what we've already seen firsthand. So stay tuned, because this is just the beginning. You will not find another Postbiotic product out there like ours that is just one single ingredient, 100% Postbiotics. Most Postbiotic supplements on the market today only contain 10-30% of Postbiotics within them. Taking ours is a therapeutic dosage, is God sent like enzymes, and there is no better biotic out there compared to our Postbiotics. As you saw in the study above, our Postbiotics were shown to stimulate probiotic growth over 100x greater than prebiotics. Our B12 Probiotics were also shown in studies to multiply probiotics at an exponential rate, creating a “1+1=11” effect when you take them together. We extended our B12 Probiotics special from last month, so we have them 'At-Cost’ too. Normally our Postbiotics and B12 Probiotics are $39.95 each. We have them both available ‘At-Cost’ for you today at only $27.97 each when you get a 3-pack. If you are interested in ordering, click the link in the comments section below...

Carrot, Greens and Electrolytes... Hey Everyone, I find myself recommending the same drink more and more. One person is dealing with cancer, another wants the ideal nutrition for spiritual awareness, and others simply want deep nourishment. In every case, I’m trying to get them the most ideal nourishment available on the planet. As I’ve shared many times, back in the day, many Raw Food Pioneers such as Dr. Norman Walker, Dr. Ann Wigmore, Dr. Max and Charlotte Gerson had a very high success rate at helping people to heal from disease (even cancer) naturally. They all had the same 3-step protocol in order to get these tremendous results. This protocol consists of 1. Eliminate Processed Foods 2. Living nourishment without fiber in the form of Vegetable Juice 3. Impeccable elimination For the first step, I can plead. I can give the full breakdown of how to eliminate processed foods. I can share transition methods to help with the detox and withdrawals. I can even inspire, lay out the pure logic, and temporarily boost someone’s drive to eat healthier. But the one thing I can’t do is keep them from putting the processed foods in their mouth. This first step — eliminating processed foods — is the one the majority of people simply can’t do. What I can do is help people with the second step. Making Fresh Raw Vegetable juices is the best way on the planet, like a cheat code, to give the human body the most amount of nourishment it can get at any given time. That Raw Living Microscopic Nutrition is the best nutrition available to mankind. If a person starts drinking raw living juices daily, they automatically become more beautiful, because they are finally getting the living nutrition that their body is starving for. This drink that I’ve been recommending to people, I feel is the closest way to emulate a fresh truly raw vegetable juice. I created an addition to my Carrot Juice Powder protocol. You can view the original protocol (link in the comments section below) without the addition, but I’ve started adding a little twist when I recommend it to customers by including our Truly Raw Living Electrolytes (never heated). Yes, the Carrot Juice and Five Greens powder do alkalize the water and provide incredible nourishment such as Vitamins, bioactive compounds, and minerals such as potassium. However, I feel like the Truly Raw Electrolytes adds another living electric and alkalinizing component to the actual water. Firstly, the Truly Raw Electrolytes turns the plain water that you add the juice powder to into a mineral-rich, ionic, electrically active liquid that better matches the natural matrix of fresh vegetable juice. Real fresh carrot and greens juice isn’t just nutrients floating in water. When you juice the plants, the cells release their nutrients already dissolved in a natural electrolyte solution. That living juice is a mineral-charged solution. When you mix the juice powders into regular water, the minerals and soluble compounds they contain begin to dissolve and ionize. You get the plant compounds — carotenoids, chlorophyll, potassium, and bioactive compounds from the carrots and greens — and the water itself becomes a mineralized, nutrient-rich solution. The powders already do important work turning ordinary water into something far more nourishing. That’s why the protocol already works so well on its own. The Truly Raw Electrolytes take that foundation further. They are a concentrated, never-heated mineral brine that was solar-evaporated exactly as nature does it. Because they’re already in free ionic form and mirror the mineral pattern of blood plasma, they charge the water itself more completely — increasing its conductivity and making the entire drink behave even more like the living liquid that comes out of a fresh juicer. The powders supply the plant nutrition and a strong foundation of minerals. The electrolytes finish the job by turning the water into a more electrically active, fully ionic medium that helps carry those nutrients. One doesn’t replace the other; the electrolytes simply complete what the juice powders start. The Truly Raw Electrolyte Salts remain in a truly ionic, never-heated state because the minerals were concentrated only by sun, dry air, and time — no industrial heat over 300°F and no chemical conversion into citrates or glycinates. That keeps them in the free ionic form the body absorbs most readily, the same form it loses in sweat and the form minerals exist in living juice. This supports better cellular uptake of the nutrients from the powders rather than simply delivering isolated compounds in plain water. They also create deeper, more efficient hydration. A clinical study on this exact formulation showed people stayed equally hydrated while drinking about 73% less water when the electrolytes were present versus plain water. In practical terms, the drink becomes a more functional delivery system: the water carries the plant nutrients more effectively into the cells instead of just passing through. In short, the carrot and greens powders supply the concentrated plant nutrition, while the Truly Raw Electrolytes give the water the mineral and ionic character of actual fresh juice. Together they come closer to the living liquid that the old juice protocols relied on than powders in plain water ever could. Before I did all this research, the idea of mixing our Truly Raw Electrolytes with my Carrot Juice Powder protocol just came to me intuitively. I seriously can’t think of anything better for the human body than this combination, which is why I find myself recommending it to people on an ongoing basis for practically every situation I come across. Making fresh raw vegetable juices daily was one of the main keys the Raw Food Pioneers used to help people heal from disease or simply become healthy. I feel this combination is the closest thing you can get to actual fresh vegetable juice. And you don’t have to limit this to carrot and greens. You can add the Truly Raw Electrolytes to any of our juice powder combinations. We currently have a total of 14 grass and vegetable juice powders and 7 fruit juice powders, so there’s a lot of flexibility depending on what you’re looking for. Dr. Norman Walker actually recommended to drink a wide variety of different vegetable juices. However, his favorite was Carrot and Spinach. As you know, our Carrot Juice Powder is on special through the end of the month. Singles, 3-packs, and 12-packs are all available at an incredible discounted price — when you choose the 12-pack, each unit comes out to just $15.95. I’m also putting our Truly Raw Living Electrolytes on special with it. You can get a 60-day supply for only $13.95 each when you choose the 3-pack.
