Jus is an all natural Health food drink containing NO sugar or caffeine - it contains 23 natural superfoods Açai Palm (Ah-sci-EE) The açai berry contains higher concentrations of anthocyanins (the compounds thought to give red wine its health benefits) with none of the health risks associated with alcohol. It’s also a source of protein, dietary fiber, and contains high levels of both omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, thought to have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system Acerola Acerola, a wild plant grown in tropical and subtropical climates, is an excellent source of powerful antioxidants. It’s rich in protein and mineral salts including iron and phosphorus calcium, and has shown remarkable anti-fungal activity. The free radical scavenging benefits of acerola are also useful for preventing abnormal growths and fighting cellular aging. Aloe Vera Juice Hay estudios que demuestran que el jugo de áloe vera (zábila) es una excelente fuente de por lo menos 75 nutrientes y más de 200 compuestos activos, incluso 20 minerales, 20 de 22 aminoácidos necesarios, y 12 vitaminas. Se ha comprobado que beber jugo áloe vera ayuda a regular el sistema digestivo y a reducir la inflamación interna. Apple Concentrate Scientists have found that the various flavonoids and polyphenols found in the apple have an effect which far outweighs that of taking only vitamin C. Some of the compounds found in apples are also known to be anti-allergenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral. Aronia Berry A pea-sized, violet-black berry with a strong, dry and sour flavor that grows on deciduous shrubs native to eastern North America. Interest in the health benefits of aronia juice is based on its very high levels of anthocyanins and flavonoids, which are five to 10 times greater than cranberry juice, and has beneficial nutrients such as antioxidants, polyphenols, minerals and vitamins. It also includes compounds that may specifically fight cancer and cardiac disease. Cranberry Extract The cranberry has long been known for its antioxidant properties. It has also been shown to have an anti-bacterial effect in the bladder and has been used as a natural way to increase the health of the skin, kidneys and urinary tract. Ginseng The Chinese have revered ginseng for centuries. Its ability to help with a variety of health conditions may be due to the fact that ginseng is an adaptogen, meaning that it works with the body to correct imbalances. For instance, if blood pressure is too high, it helps bring it down; if it’s too low, it brings it up Grape Seed Extract These nutrient-rich parts of the grape contain amazing properties, such as natural doses of the antiaging agent resveratrol. These parts of the grape also contain powerful and unique antioxidants, help lower bad cholesterol (while simultaneously raising good cholesterol), and demonstrate natural antihistamine effects Grape Skin Extract These nutrient-rich parts of the grape contain amazing properties, such as natural doses of the antiaging agent resveratrol. These parts of the grape also contain powerful and unique antioxidants, help lower bad cholesterol (while simultaneously raising good cholesterol), and demonstrate natural antihistamine effects. Green Tea Shown to inhibit bacteria and viruses, and proven to protect the immune system, green tea is a known cancer preventer. In addition, green tea counters the effects of radiation, keeps the pH of the blood balanced and is high in antioxidants. The Chinese, who have low incidences of cancer, routinely drink it. The polyphenolic catechins found in green tea are stronger than vitamin E in fighting free radicals Mangosteen According to professional journals such as the Free Radical Research, Journal of Pharmacology and the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, xanthones (naturally occurring phytonutrients contained in the mangosteen), may have a remarkable effect on cardiovascular health, are naturally antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory Noni Fruit A recent study found that the noni fruit is 40 times more powerful than sulforaphane — an anticancer and antimicrobial compound obtained by eating cruciferous vegetables such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, bok choy, kale, collards, mustard, turnip, radish and watercress. It’s also been found to inhibit the oxidation of “bad” cholesterol, contain anti-inflammatory compounds and show anti-depressant effects. Pomegranate Research has shown that the pomegranate has significantly higher levels of antioxidants than red wine or green tea. A recent study presented at the American Urological Association annual meeting posits that drinking pomegranate juice significantly extended the time it took prostate cancer markers in men to double. Studies also suggest that pomegranate juice drinkers had less oxygen deficiency to the heart during exercise than non-drinkers Prune Extract Prunes are a good source of fiber and have long been recognized as a nutrient-rich fruit with multiple health benefits. They contain iron, potassium and vitamin C and are extremely high in the antioxidants known as phenolics, neochlorogenic acid and chlorogenic acid. The prune’s high antioxidant content overpowers that of raisins and even blueberries. Raspberry Raspberries contain high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium and are one of the best sources of ellagic acid, a natural compound shown to inhibit the growth of tumors caused by carcinogens. Additionally, ellagic acid has also shown promise as a natural antiviral and antibacterial compound as well as potential as a natural arthritis treatment. Reishi Mushroom An antibacterial, antiviral fungus, the reishi aids the liver and substantially helps the immune system, assisting it in fighting diseases and allergies. Western medicine is only beginning to catch up with what eastern medicine has known for centuries as healing powers of the mushroom are beginning to be demonstrated scientifically. Sea Buckthorn Sea buckthorn has been used to treat liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders (including peptic ulcers and gastritis), eczema, canker sores, ulcerative disorders of mucosal tissues, wounds, inflammation, burns, frostbite, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, and chronic dermatoses. In ophthalmology, sea buckthorn extracts have been used for keratitis, trachoma, eyelid injuries and conjunctivitis. Strawberry This delicious fruit has been featured in significant recent research and has demonstrated powerful antioxidant properties. A recent study performed by Tufts University and the USDA showed that the consumption of certain foods, including strawberries, can help improve short term memory. Strawberries also contain anthocyanins which help the body battle pain and inflammation, much like Vioxx® and Celebrex®, but without the dangerous side effects Tart Cherry Extract According to ongoing research, tart cherries are a rich source of antioxidants which can help fight cancer and heart disease. In addition, there are beneficial compounds in Montmorency tart cherries that help relieve the pain of arthritis and gout. While the research on the exact mechanisms that give the pain relief is underway, many consumers are discovering that tart cherry juice and other cherry products can stave off pain. White Tea White tea is made from very young tea leaves steamed immediately after harvest to deactivate polyphenol oxidase. They usually contain higher concentrations of catechins than other teas. According to Norman Hollenberg, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, epicatechin can reduce the risk of four of the major health problems: stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabetes. Wild Bilberry Extract The wild bilberry has been shown to be a good source of quercetin, a beneficial antioxidant flavonoid. Wild bilberry extract has been used to promote general capillary health and may inhibit age-related macular degeneration and help in improving night vision. Wild Blueberry A study that tested the effects of blueberries on prostate and liver cancer cells, showed that various compounds in wild blueberries possess the power to help prevent cancer in all three phases: Initiation, promotion and proliferation. Blueberries also made recent news for their ability to help prevent urinary tract infections Lycium Berry (Wolfberry) Valued by the Chinese for its health-improving qualities, the wolfberry is packed with fiber, omega-6, omega-3, protein, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins B2 and C, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and polysaccharides. There’s evidence that the wolfberry helps fight against cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, some cancers, diabetes, premature aging, memory loss, vision degeneration and lung disorders.
