The Bioactive Molecules

Green bell pepper is the vegetable richest in vitamin C in the garden: 80 mg/100 g, which is more than orange¹. The organic silicon in bell pepper is involved in the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and keratin². With age, silicon reserves drop drastically: by age 40 you’ve already lost more than half³. This is the juice for beauty from within, the one I prescribe for brittle nails, fine hair, and dull skin⁴.

Organic silicon is the mineral of beauty and structure. It plays a role in the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and keratin, the three proteins that make up skin, nails, and hair. With age, silicon reserves diminish drastically: by age 40, you’ve lost nearly 50% of your silicon capital. Soft nails, dull hair, skin losing its firmness: these are classic signs of silicon deficiency. Green bell pepper juice is one of the rare food sources where silicon is presented in an organic form that is directly assimilable.

Red bell pepper contains 120 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, which is three times more than an orange. It also concentrates capsanthin, a carotenoid responsible for its red color, whose antioxidant activity is superior to that of beta-carotene²: 3468-3472). Quercetin, a natural antihistamine flavonoid, is present at significant concentrations (15 mg/100g in red bell pepper).

Green bell pepper is the most underestimated juice in the entire repertoire. Rich in silica (organic silicon), the mineral of beauty: skin, hair, nails, teeth, bones. Silica is a major component of collagen, elastin, and keratin. With carrot and celery, the fresh herbaceous flavor of green bell pepper is a delight. Important: GREEN pepper, not red or yellow. Green pepper (unripe) concentrates more silicon and chlorophyll than its colored versions. If the taste is too strong, add one-third carrot juice to sweeten. Indications: brittle nails, dull hair, dull-looking skin, tooth fragility, bone remineralization. A beauty juice par excellence.
