Designed to slow down the aging process and rejuvenate and increase the health of the cells. Increase vitality and may have aphrodisiac effects.
General Information:
OXYGEN RADICAL ABSORBANCE CAPACITY (ORAC)
This is a measurement method of determining the antioxidant capacity of various foods. Foods that have the highest ORAC values are usually spices, berries and legumes. Many fruits and vegetables have excellent ORAC values and there may be a link between consuming high ORAC foods and slowing the aging process by providing nutrients by way of ingesting concentrated fruits and vegetable components to fight the excessive free radical production.
Certain plants have a high level of phytochemicals (plant-based), which relate to their overall ORAC values. The following is the latest information on foods with high phytonutrient levels:
ORAC VALUES
Maqui berry – 945, goji berry & acai – 300, mangosteen – 225, pomegranate – 205, blueberry 61, strawberry – 27, raspberry – 21, red grape – 14.
MAQUI BERRY
The maqui berry is called the “super berry.” Maqui berry is the #1 antioxidant of any food including the acai berry. The ORAC value of acai is only 300 compared to the maqui berry at over 900. That is over 3 times the antioxidant power of acai. This is one of the most important free radical fighters you can provide your cells with to protect them and slow the aging process as well. The Maqui berry helps reduce allergic reactions and may help protect against neurological diseases.
GOJI BERRY (wolfberry)
Historically, has been known to have aphrodisiac effects in China on all ages and is known as the “happy berry.”
The Goji berry is one of the most effective Longevity and Superfoods on the planet. The Goji berry may protect against age related vision problems such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. It has potential benefits against cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases and potential neuroprotective properties. The Goji berry supports immune system and reduces risks of certain types of cancers due to antioxidant properties. Studies are also ongoing pertaining to its effectiveness in certain cancers.
RESERVATROL (grape seed extract)
An amazing supplement that can activate the longevity gene will help in ANTI-AGING. Studies have shown that it reduces the stickiness of blood platelets (reducing the risk of clogged arteries) as well as containing many anti-inflammatory properties. Studies are also ongoing related to the effects of resveratrol in fighting cancer (especially breast cancer). The resveratrol found in red wine has been linked to lowering cholesterol levels. Resveratrol enhances the memory as well.
AGAVE BERRY (natural sweetener)
A natural sugar sap found in the agave plant. It has a low glycemic index making it more acceptable for diabetics. The higher the glycemic index of the food, the faster the food will be absorbed into the bloodstream. The low index foods take longer and allow the body to utilize the food before it turns into glucose.
MANGOSTEEN
Mangosteen helps increase energy and improves the mood. It also boosts the immune system as well as increases longevity. It contains the compound “xanthone,” which has exhibited anti-cancer properties when studied in test tubes. It has also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties as well as being antimicrobial, antifungal as well as having antiseptic properties.
POMEGRANATE EXTRACT
It is a powerful antioxidant containing polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins. Recent scientific studies suggest that pomegranate may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease including atherosclerosis. These studies showed that carotid artery thickness decreased and cardiac blood flow improved with use of pomegranate. Evidence also suggests that pomegranate may help reduce levels of cholesterol and systolic blood pressure. Pomegranate extract historically has been used as an antioxidant and anti-viral supplement. Basically, pomegranate extract improves cardiac and prostate health, has been shown to help reduce atherosclerosis and plaque formation, supports healthy prostate function, has an antibacterial effects against dental plaque and inhibits viral infections.
ACAI BERRY (a-sigh-ee)
The juice from the berry is high in fatty acids and antioxidants as well as containing amino acids, essential omegas and fiber.
Hyaluronic acid (HA)
Naturally, occurring molecule in all living organisms - including your own body! When you are young HA is abundant throughout your body, but is found in larger concentrations in certain areas. HA gels water to provide lubrication, easier movement and less pain in your joints. In your skin, HA is involved in tissue repair, including healing your skin after sun exposure. It binds to water, provides volume, and plumps out the appearance of wrinkles while holding moisture in the skin. Scientific studies have also substantiated that many age-related eye disorders, including glaucoma, are linked with a shortage of HA. Research shows that our body's natural production of HA and collagen reduces dramatically after the age of 30, leading to rapid aging and deterioration. Adding HA back into the body has been shown to significantly reduce the signs of aging.
HA has been nicknamed by many "The Fountain of Youth", as it minimizes the effects of many ailments that are traditionally associated with aging. HA increases joint lubrication, which minimizes pain and joint damage, assists in nourishment of cells, helps minimize the signs of aging in the skin, and facilitates the body's natural healing processes.
LYCHEE JUICE
Has a very high antioxidant level and is an excellent source of vitamin C and potassium. Research suggests that lychee may have anti-cancer properties and a study in Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology has shown evidence that it inhibits breast cancer by promoting apoptosis (self-destruction of cancer cells). Lychee juice also helps with digestion and has cold symptom relief properties.
L-Arginine and L-Citrulline
Studies are ongoing and are related to fertility in men (aphrodisiac effects), enhancing the functioning of the immune system and detoxifying the liver. Also, plays a role in the release of insulin and growth hormones in the body. Builds muscle mass and helps increase energy and stamina levels.
Vitamin D-3 5000 IUs
Being low in Vit. D-3 puts women at risk of numerous health problems, including osteoporosis, colon cancer, other types of cancer, high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, lupus, type 1 diabetes, schizophrenia, depression and infectious-diseases like colds, and the flu. Vitamin D helps Immune systems cells destroy the bacterium that cause tuberculosis, increases production of insulin and enable heart cells to contract. Low levels may even be a risk factor for preeclampsia, a potentially fatal condition that occurs in late pregnancy. In fact, nearly every cell in the body expresses receptors for Vitamin D-3, meaning the vitamin plays some role in the normal activities of that cell. Vitamin D 3 improves cognition, bone health, and reduces the risk of the development of chronic low back pain.
