'No-brainer' 
C-ollagen Flaxiccino daily smoothie - for maintaining / restoring physical and mental health
Easy-to-make, enjoyable, therapeutic daily smoothie (using mainly fresh ingredients with some supporting supplements), heals, energizes cells, provides important nutrients, builds collagen in connective tissue, normalizes thyroid function and boosts immune system against assault. Ingredients are specifically chosen to include nutrients the body cannot make and are typically missing from most daily diets wreaking havoc with our health:
| |
| Magnesium | The “Missing Mineral” – Required for cellular energy production metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and amino acids, formation of bones and teeth, normalizing muscle and nerve function, improving INSULIN sensitivity, reduces blood pressure and much more. Magnesium levels are high in pumpkin and flax seeds, molasses, raw almonds, pine nuts and Brazil nuts. |
| Iodine | A “no-brainer” for thyroid function and to prevent reproductive organ cancers. Reverses fibrocystic breasts, shrinks ovarian and thyroid cysts, natural antimicrobial |
| Vitamin C | “God’s Medicine” – This all-important vitamin cannot be stored so must be consumed anew each day for its antioxidant activity in watery areas of the body, for building collagen in all connective tissue in arteries, bones, joints, skin . . ., as well as its anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and immune system boosting abilities. The fresh fruit in the smoothie provide the naturally synergistic components to accompany the supplemental Vitamin C added to the drink. Of note – vitamin C has higher bioavailability as a liquid than a dry powder or tablet. |
| Vitamin D | “The Sunshine Vitamin” – Directly or indirectly sun-derived antioxidant vitamin D performs so many functions in virtually ALL the body’s cells that without it we simply do not thrive. |
| Omega-3 fatty acids, Fiber and lignans | In addition to fiber in the fruit, flaxseed in the recipe is “hands-down” the best source of fiber to ensure you never have trouble “going” each day and also comfortably without any trauma! When considering your health this is the first matter to get right. Flaxseed also contains something called lignans – these polyphenol phytonutrients alone have important health benefits – they support the body’s “make things happen” enzymes and provide hormonal balance. Flaxseed in this drink inherently provide 1 T flax oil with its essential plant-sourced omega-3 fatty acids. Additional O3 is obtained with marine oil supplements. If dealing with a health problem or are starting with low omega-3 fat levels you should consider the BUDWIG PROTOCOL |
| Vitamins A, B, E, K | Vitamin A – The grass vitamin / Vitamin K – For Klotting and Kalcium |
Collagen Flaxiccino--- Drink 2 hours away from any marine oil supplement or 'O3-Fix' recipe
What's in the Collagen Flaxiccino?
This delicious frothy smoothie combines the C-ollagen Flaxiccino with a daily dose of flaxseed and supporting nutrients facilitating just one dietary addition to your day providing maintenance level nutrients necessary to promote physical and mental health. It contains:
- High-dose Vitamin C with added collagen-making amino acids. These are found in the so-called Rath-Pauling therapy at the “Somewhere in the middle” maintenance-level that can be adjusted to your specific need. Vitamin C is a crucially important antioxidant (especially concentrated in brain tissues) and the added amino-acids Lysine and Proline are used to build collagen in the body’s connective tissues, involved in CVD, arthritis, osteoporosis and more.
- 3 T Flaxseed per person – provides 1T maintenance dose of omega-3 oil plus fiber and lignans. This is the maximum daily dose, so do not add to other recipes for the day.
- Support nutrients
How to make Collagen Flaxiccino
Recipe is for 2 people – proportionally adjust for 1 person or more than 2 people
This smoothie contains an ADULT preventative maintenance dose of the Rath-Pauling therapy (1.5g vitamin C / day with appropriate amounts of the amino acids L-lysine and L-proline).
Important!
- The C-ollagen Flaxiccino should be consumed at least 2 hours before or after taking a marine oil supplement or consuming any ‘O3-Fix’ BUDWIG PROTOCOL recipe. This is to prevent interference with the therapeutic activity of their O3 fatty acids
Lysine has a taste which some may find unpleasant – to turn this around, this recipe has some additions that actually make the drink taste delightful – honest! 
Instructions
Takes less than 10 minutes to make if you have your BLENDER OUT and INGREDIENTS READILY ACCESSIBLE (with measuring spoons) in your fridge or nearby cabinet
Add ALL chosen ingredients to a powerful container blender (a Vitamix works best) – then blend:
- ~24 oz. glass of ice filled with Spring or filtered water
- Choose a couple of fresh or frozen soft fruit (e.g. guava, kiwi, ½-1 orange (leave some peel for its antioxidants), pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, mango (leave some peel, high polyphenol content), blueberries, etc.). An orange helps cut the taste of Lysine powder.
- 1/2 – 1 banana
- 1-2 tsp. organic, raw honey (if not adding banana)
- 2″ ginger root (optional – anti-inflammatory polyphenols, adds a shot of zing! )
- A handful of spinach leaves (optional – for magnesium, calcium+)
- 2 tsp. beet powder (optional – vitamin B complex)
- ¼ tsp. pure vanilla essence (optional – anti-inflammatory)
- 1-2 Tbsp. organic whey protein ¤ or add a spoonful of organic yogurt. Adds creaminess
Rath-Pauling therapy ingredients for providing vitamin C and building collagen at an average maintenance / preventative adult dose level of 1.5 g vitamin C
- 2/3 tsp. vitamin C powder E.g. Amazon
- 1 ¾ tsp. Lysine powder E.g. Amazon
- 1/4 tsp. Proline powder. E.g. Amazon.
Lastly, add:
- 6 Tbsp. whole organic flaxseeds. (2 ½ T / person). The blender should be powerful enough to grind them. Start at a low speed to give them chance to mix into the liquid, then increase the speed. This is the maximum daily dose of flaxseeds and should not be added to any other recipe for the day.
Serve in tall 24 oz glasses and immediately enjoy

Heads-up!
This is a deceptively powerful therapy that will go to work on you right from the start. Be prepared for some detox symptoms, called the Herxheimer Reaction. These can be experienced as feeling tired, a slight fever, headache, diarrhea, pain in joints, muscles bones, nausea, rashes and more. May last several days or even weeks, but stay with it and you’ll be a new person!
+ DAILY support supplements for "No-brainer' C-ollagen Flaxiccino smoothie and "O3-Fix" BUDWIG PROTOCOL recipes
These adult daily supplements are supportive of these therapies, essential for health and should NOT be considered optional
(NOTE: the C-ollagen Flaxiccino contain a powdered vitamin C supplement, having a high-level antioxidant presence that can affect beneficial activities of omega-3 fatty acids)
Iodine – In the early morning
Take in a little water, juice or milk at least 2 hours away from taking C-ollagen Flaxiccino.
- 1 drop 2% Lugol’s iodine (provides a maintenance dose of ~3 mg iodine + iodide. The Lugols’ page explains how to start with a higher dose to deal with a likely deficiency)
Omega-3 EPA / DHA supplements – Take at least 2 hours away from Iodine or supplemental vitamin C
The Omega-3 EPA / DHA form of omega-3 fatty acids is necessary for most all of us, since many issues, especially our age, interfere with conversion rate of plant-sourced omega-3 ALA to EPA / DHA. However, if you regularly consume two portions of oily fish per week you are probably meeting your need for EPA / DHA. The high-oil-content fish include salmon, trout, mackerel, tuna (skipjack is less toxic). Eating fish for omega-3
- 1 or 2 -1000mg fish oil capsule. Wild salmon oil is an excellent choice since it is not chemically processed.
- or 3-500 mg Antarctic krill oil
- or ½ tsp. quality cod liver oil
(can take a proportional combination e.g. 1 -1000 mg fish oil and 2 – 500 mg Krill oil)
Daily sunbath for Vitamin D – Ideally between 10 am and 2pm:
Magnesium “treat” – somewhere during your day:
- A small bar of chocolate – magnesium (E.g. 4.25 oz Milk Chocolate bar w/ almonds provides102mg natural magnesium).
Other supplements – Take with main meal:
- 400 mg magnesium (as chelated magnesium supplement E.g. Swanson Ultra Albion Magnesium Glycinate or prefer transdermal magnesium chloride (less convenient but fast, effective, cheap and bypasses GI tract). (Highly functional mineral, also for omega-3 conversion enzymes)
- Zinc – 8 mg (W) or 11 mg (M). Prefer zinc citrate, chelate, acetate, mono-methionine or gluconate (for omega-3 conversion enzymes)
- Selenium – 200 mcg seleno-methionine or consume 4-6 Brazil nuts
- Vitamin A – supplement or include A-rich foods
- Vitamin B-complex – prefer sublingual form (for omega-3 conversion enzymes)
- Vitamin E – supplement 400 IU mixed gamma-tocopherol. Protects O3 fatty acids in cell membranes from oxidation
- Vitamin K – K1 in spinach, K2 in fermented foods (natto, sauerkraut), aged cheese – K2 puts calcium where it belongs in bones and teeth, not in soft tissue, such as your arteries. Can supplement K2.
