All About Amaranth
Nature's Super Seed for Health & Wellness
Amaranth seeds are unique. They’re functional like a traditional grain (barley, rice, corn, etc.), but have infinitely more nutritional potential. The best way to unlock an Amaranth seed’s full potential is to extract its oil to activate its linoleic acid for heart health, omega-3 and -6 for stronger immunity, lecithin for brain health, magnesium for the nervous system, tryptophan for mood and amino acids for metabolism support.
Amaranth Oil also is the richest plant-based source of Squalene, a powerful protein that flushes away internal and external toxins that water can’t wash out.

A Quick History of Amaranth
For generations before the Spanish Conquest, Amaranth was cultivated alongside maize by Central and South America’s Indigenous populations as a dietary staple. They clearly knew of its nutritional potential, which is why, to weaken the Indigenous population, the Spanish outlawed Amaranth cultivation.
But a natural multivitamin with this much nutritional potential wasn’t going to stay hidden for long, and modern examination of Amaranth Oil revealed its power: it's high concentration of Squalene and richness in beneficial compounds.
Today, Amaranth is grown across the globe and research into it's beneficial uses are underway by Scientists from Missouri to Zurich and beyond.

All About Squalene
Humans are born with Squalene, with the highest amount found in the skin. Outside the human body, Squalene was originally discovered shark liver oil, which is 40% squalene; this is thought of as a reason cancer is not a disease found in sharks.
Since that discovery, sharks were slaughtered for their liver oil and squalene found in it. But Amaranth seed has proven to be a more accessible, more affordable and much more eco-friendly source of Squalene for human use.

Dietary Benefits of Squalene
Adding Amaranth oil to your diet brings a host of health benefits, the most powerful of which is increasing the amount of Squalene in your body. Benefits of ingesting Squalene have been shown to include:
- Improving skin health, hydration and natural rejuvenation
- Reducing inflammation throughout the body
- Regulating the rate of cholesterol production
- Slowing the growth of cancer cells
- Protecting kidney cells from toxic stress
- Increasing fat metabolism
- Maintain strong brain-to-nerve signalling
Topical Benefits of Squalene
Squalene’s ability to flush out toxins that water cannot is particularly helpful hair and skin.
As mentioned above, natural Squalene is most prevalent in skin and hair cells. But Squalene levels decline with age, which is one of the reasons skin and hair decline with age over time.
Replacing your naturally declining Squalene by applying it onto hair and skin frees up the present water from working to flush toxins, leaving it to hydrate your skin and hair. The result is more elasticity in the skin, thicker and more lustrous hair, and an overall better feeling about one’s appearance.

Amaranth Oil
In addition to being the richest source of Squalene outside of a shark’s liver, Amaranth Oil is rich in linoleic acid that studies have shown to lower risk of cardiovascular disease, oleic acid that evidence indicates can lower blood pressure, palmitic acid that is has the potential to reduce inflammation, and stearic acid that can reduce risk of cancer. Additionally, Amaranth Oil may inhibit or delay diet-related diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
Use Amaranth Oil Everyday
Amaranth Oil can be beneficial as a topical or an edible.
Rubbing in Amaranth Oil moisturizes, nourishes, strengthens and soothes the skin and hair, accelerates wound healing and has antimicrobial properties — all of which prevent the signs of aging.
Also, Amaranth Oil’s amino acid profile, vitamin D, phytosterols, as well as phosphorus, copper and calcium help form and maintain optimal bone and cartilage conditioning.
And rubbing it into problem areas can help soothe the pain of osteochondrosis, osteoporosis, arthritis, arthrosis and polyarthritis.
Ingesting the Squalane of Amaranth Oil, as a liquid or as an ingredient of a solid, replaces the squalene you lose as you age. It also improves heart health with linoleic acid, boosts immunity with Omega 3 & 6 acids, improves brain function with lecithin, eases digestion with a strong amino acid profile and contributes to cardio-vascular and hepatological (liver) optimization.
