Cell-nique is a "super green" beverage formulated to fight the effects of acidic build up by promoting the cleansing and detoxification of cells through an infusion of plant-based phyto-nutrients and antioxidants.

Cell-nique embraces Chinese and Ayurveda theories about integrating the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional aspects of healing by offering proper balanced nutrition in a ready-to-drink beverage. Cell-nique's formula comes in five flavors: Pomegranate, Tropical, Kukicha Tea, Citrus Vanilla and Apple. Every bottle is labeled with a healing Yantra and Mantra-such as "I embody wisdom and inner peace"-that serves as a tool for contemplation and meditation, thus embracing the philosophy that our thoughts and words also greatly affect our health.

Cell-nique has 31 super foods to help meet our daily requirement of 8 -10 servings of fruits and vegetables.

"With today's busy modern lifestyle people rarely have time to ensure they are getting the nutrition necessary for sustaining energy and immunity," said Dan Ratner, Founder of Cell-nique. "Medical research is proving the food-mind-body-spirit connection and Western society is beginning to understand the Eastern belief that a healthy body and spirit are the foundations of a journey to true well-being."

Cell-nique is made with organic and natural super green foods such as Spirulina, Chlorella and Blue-green algae as well as cereal grass juices and sprouts like barley, wheat, oats and alfalfa. It also contains the high anti-oxidant super fruits like Noni, Goji berry, and Acai. These ingredients have more nutrients than common vegetables, fruits and grains, and drinking a single bottle of Cell-nique provides the equivalent nutrients found in roughly seven salads.
