| Resveratrol: is a naturally occurring phytoalexin produced by some higher plants in response to injury or fungal infection. Phytoalexins are chemical substances produced by plants as a defense against disease. It occurs in the vines, roots, seeds, and stalks, but its highest concentration is in grape skins and red wines. Resveratrol interferes with all three stages of cancer formation: initiation, promotion and progression. It is believed that Resveratrol is the reason that proves the French paradox, stating that despite the French having diets high in saturated fats, they suffer relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease. It’s extracted from the shrub Polygonum Cuspidatum. * Reduces the risks of cancer* * Reduces the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)* * Increases energy levels* * Provides some cardiovascular protection* * Lowers blood sugar levels* * Antioxidant effects* Bioperine: is an extract obtained from the black pepper fruit that is cultivated in the damp, nutrient-rich soil regions of southern India . The delicate pepper berries are harvested just prior to ripening and then sun dried to assure optimum maturity and quality. The extract of piperine, called Bioperine in the patented form, has been clinically tested in the United States. Bioperine significantly enhances the bioavailability of various supplement nutrients through increased absorption. Piper Longum is the flowering vine that produces the black pepper fruit. * Increases adsorption of other supplements* * May aid in digestion Pomegranate Fruit Extract: is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India. The pomegranate is both self-pollinated and cross-pollinated by insects. It thrives on calcareous, alkaline soil and on deep, acidic loam and a wide range of soils in between these extremes. Pomegranate seeds germinate readily even when merely thrown onto the surface of loose soil and the seedlings spring up with vigor. * Antioxidant effects* * Helps reduce the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)* * Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease* * Has anti-inflammatory properties* Garcinia Mangostana Fruit: is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia and is cultivated throughout the tropics. The tree is medium size, growing 30-60 feet tall and can produce fruit within 6-8 years from planting. The subsurface chemistry of the Garcinia Mangostana skin comprises an array of polyphenolic acids that assure astringency to discourage infestation by insects, fungi, plant viruses, bacteria, and animal predation while the fruit is immature. * Antibiotic effects* * Anti-carcinogenic effects* * Antioxidant effects* * Boosts the immune system* * Enhances mood* Acai Fruit: is from the Acai Palm, a member of the genus Euterpe, native to tropical Central and South America. The tree grows mainly in floodplains and swamps and produces two crops of fruit per year. The fruit, a small, round, black-purple drupe about 1 inch in diameter, similar in appearance and size to a grape but with less pulp, is produced in branched panicles of 700 to 900 fruits. The seed makes up about 80% of the fruit. * Antioxidant effects* * Increases energy and stamina* * Cleanses and detoxifies the body* * Aides in digestion* * Boosts your immune system* Goji Fruit Extract: comes from the Wolfberry plant, a deciduous woody perennial. Although its original habitat is obscure, wolfberry species are now grown around the world, including China. The goji berries are almost never found in their fresh form outside of their production regions, and are usually sold in open bins and small packages in dried form. * Antioxidant effects* * Enhances immune function* * Lowers bad cholesterol* * May protect against cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases* * Contains anti-carcinogenic properties (may fight cancer)* Noni Fruit Extract: is from the Noni plant, a tropical evergreen in the family Rubiaceae. It’s native to Southeast Asia but has been extensively spread by man throughout India and into the Pacific islands. Noni grows in shady forests as well as on open rocky or sandy shores. It reaches maturity in about 18 months and then yields between 4-8 kg of fruit every month throughout the year. * Antioxidant effects* * Helps lower blood sugar* * Improves heart health* * Boosts the immune system* Turmeric Extract: is a member of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. Its dried roots are ground into a deep yellow spice commonly used in curries and other South Asian cuisine. Its active ingredient is curcumin and it has earthy, bitter, peppery flavor. * Aids in digestion* * Anti-carcinogenic effects* * Lowers bad cholesterol* * Anti-inflammatory* * Protects liver from certain toxins* * Improves cardiovascular function* |
