The Pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum) is best known for the jewel-like arils stored inside its leathery red rind. Pomegranates have been grown for centuries in Asia, the Mediterranean, and the tropical parts of Africa. In ancient times, pomegranates represented fertility, and the fruit has been depicted many times in art throughout history.
Pomegranates are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, substances that can help prevent or delay damage within the cells. They also pack two unique substances: Punicalagins, which have been found to have three times the antioxidant activity of red wine and green tea; and Punicic Acid, a type of conjugated linoleic acid with potent biological effects. These antioxidants can help remove free radicals, protect cells from damage, and reduce inflammation. Some of Pomegranate’s health benefits include lowering cholesterol and other cardiac risk factors; inhibiting abnormal platelet aggregation that could cause heart attacks, strokes and embolic disease; lowering blood pressure; relief and protection against depression and osteoporosis; and, increased speed at which heart blockages or atherosclerosis melt away.
Purple Corn (Zea mays) was once a sacred crop to the ancient Incan civilizations. Now hundreds of years later, it is grown commercially in its native land of Peru. Historically it was valued for its use as a natural colorant for foods and beverages as well as for its role in making a popular drink called “chicha morada.” Today’s markets still acknowledge the more traditional uses while research into the health benefits of this particular type of corn have made it a sought-after ingredient in the functional foods and supplements markets as well.
Researchers have discovered the significant role of purple corn and its effects on cellular health, obesity, diabetes, inflammation and vascular integrity. These health benefits are largely tied to purple corn’s high content of anthocyanins, the antioxidant-rich color pigments that give it its dark purple color. Purple Corn has a unique and diverse anthocyanin profile containing predominantly cyanidins, pelargonidins, and peonidins. In fact, purple corn has one of the absolute highest levels of a particular anthocyanin ─ cyanidin-3-glucoside ─ that has been attributed to a number of significant health benefits in humans. Purple Corn is also rich in phenolic acids such as p-coumaric, vanillic acid, protocatechuric acid, and flavonoids such as quercetin. These phytonutrients help prevent cellular damage.
Stevia is an intensely sweet-tasting plant that has been used to sweeten beverages and make tea since the 16th century. The plant is originally native to Paraguay and Brazil but is now also grown in Japan and China. It is used as a non-nutritive sweetener and herbal supplement. Stevia is used as a healthful alternative to added sugar in many meals and beverages.
Stevia is 200 to 300 times sweeter than table sugar. It contains eight glycosides which are the sweet components isolated and purified from the leaves of stevia. As an alternative to sucrose, or table sugar, using stevia as a sweetener carries the potential for considerable health benefits which include weight loss, blood sugar and cholesterol level regulation, diabetes and cancer prevention, blood pressure regulation, skin and oral health, and many more.
Acai berries (Euterpe oleracea) are a Brazilian “superfruit.” They’re native to the Amazon region where they’re a staple food. However, they’ve recently gained popularity globally and are praised for being particularly beneficial to health and well-being.
According to study, acai berries contain trace minerals such as chromium, zinc, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.
But some of acai’s most powerful health benefits come from plant compounds. The most notable one among these is anthocyanins, which give acai berries their deep purple color and act as antioxidants in the body. Antioxidants are important because they neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals throughout the body.
If free radicals are not neutralized by antioxidants, they can damage cells and lead to a number of diseases, including diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Acai berries have an incredibly high amount of antioxidants, edging out other antioxidant-rich fruits like blueberries and cranberries
Oftentimes referred to as a cherry or berry, Acerola (Malpighia glabra L.) is a tropical fruit native to Mexico, Central and South America. It contains over 150 phytonutrients and is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C on the planet. It contains as much as 1,000 to 4,500 milligrams per 100 grams of edible fruit, as compared to oranges which contain only 50 milligrams of Vitamin C per every 100 grams.
Being one of the richest sources of natural Vitamin C and having to contain Anthocyanins, Acerola offers a wide range of health benefits isuch as (1) helps fight infections; (2) strengthens the immune system; (3) helps heal wounds and keeps bones and teeth healthy; (4) builds collagen; (5) reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer; (6) regulates blood sugar and cholesterol levels; (7) protects against atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries); (8) prevents blood clots; (9) helps treat the common colds, gum infections, sore throat and hay fever; (10) enhances memory function; (11) protects developing fetal brain tissue; and (12) reduces the risks and effects of obesity among others.
Vitamin A and Beta-Carotene are two other important nutrients found in Acerola. These nutrients help improve vision, prevent cataracts and retinal hemorrhages, alleviates arthritis, act as anti-cancer agents, promote red blood cell production, and protect the immune system. The Dietary Fiber in Acerola cherry helps clear waste from the intestines, thereby soothing constipation, diarrhea, and many kidney and liver conditions. Acerola cherry benefits can even activate anti-stress hormones, making it useful when depressed or anxious. Additional micronutrients found in the fruit include Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Niacin (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Phosphorus, Potassium and Magnesium ─ each of which is necessary in a normal diet.
Buah Merah (Pandanus conoideus) is a plant in the pandan family. Its fruit is eaten in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. Fruits of the pandanus family have specific characteristics that distinguish them from other fruits, including their very concentrated red color, indicating that the fruits are rich in beta carotene.
Beta carotene is a red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits. The human body converts beta carotene into vitamin A (retinol) – beta carotene is a precursor of vitamin A. We need vitamin A for healthy skin and mucus membranes, our immune system, and good eye health and vision.
Beta carotene in itself is not an essential nutrient, but vitamin A is.
Beta carotene, like all carotenoids, is an antioxidant. Some studies have suggested that those who consume at least four daily servings of beta carotene rich fruits and/or vegetables have a lower risk of developing cancer or heart disease. A recent study suggested that eating fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids such as beta carotene had a protective effect against lung cancer. Another research has also shown that it may prevent skin damage and contribute to maintenance of skin health and appearance. This is due to its antioxidant properties.
As its name implies, Grape (Vitis vinifera) Seed Extract is derived from the small seeds (and occasionally the skin) of grapes. Used extensively in Europe, Grapeseed Extract is a natural plant constituent (bioflavonoid) which are phytochemicals that strengthen and protect living tissue. The Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) or Procyanidolic Oligomers (PCOs) found in Grapeseed Extract are 50x stronger than Vitamin E and 20x stronger than Vitamin C. It is an antiallergenic, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant.
Catechins, another component of GSOE, help reduce allergic responses by inhibiting enzymes involved in the formation of histamine (helping reduce symptoms of allergies and excess histamine in the stomach which may lead to further stomach problems).
Grapeseed Extract provides cardiovascular protection by preventing oxidation of lipoproteins (LDL), making them less likely to stick to blood-vessel walls. It also makes the linings of the arteries more resistant to damage and helps control excessive clotting while strengthening the capillaries to ensure a good supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain and throughout the body. It also affects enzymes that influence blood-fluid balances and therefore may be helpful in lowering blood pressure. By protecting and enhancing Vitamins A and C, Grapeseed Extract may also aid in the reduction of wrinkles and vision problems. Recently, researchers discovered that Grapeseed Extract can help to stimulate healthy hair growth by defeating the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that stops the hair follicle growth cycle.
Guyabano (Annona muricata), also known as Soursop and Graviola, is a small evergreen tree with many bioactive compounds, that is native to the Amazon Rainforest and other tropical areas of the Americas. Since the ancient times, it has become known that Guyabano is rich in vitamins and minerals, all which contribute to the health benefits it provides.
Guyabano has been praised for its abilities to fight cancer cells, kill viruses, bacteria and parasites, as well as to lower blood pressure, calm nerves, and prevent depression. This has made Guyabano very important and precious in natural herbal medicine. The results of the early studies have proved the plant’s antispasmodic (prevents or relieves spasms or convulsions), hypotensive (reduces blood pressure), cardiotonic (balances functioning of heart), and vasodilator properties. The further studies of Guyabano extract have shown its antibacterial properties.
Certain ingredients in Guyabano include phytochemicals, which may help to regulate blood glucose levels and prevent spikes. Guyabano also contains Vitamins B1 and B2, Magnesium, and Zinc, each of which contribute to normal energy levels, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to helping support the immune system.
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is an exotic, tropical fruit with a slightly sweet and sour flavor. It’s originally from Southeast Asia but can be found in various tropical regions around the world.
The vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in mangosteen such as Vitamin C and Folatre are important for maintaining many bodily functions, including DNA production, muscle contraction, wound healing, immunity, and nerve signaling.
It also contains compounds that have antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties. These compounds are a class of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds known as xanthones. The major xanthones found in mangosteen are alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin, and gamma-mangostin. These xanthones may provide beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and thrombosis. Mangosteen also shows vasorelaxant properties. Scientific research indicates activity against several cancer cell lines, including breast cancer, liver cancer and leukemia. In addition, mangosteen also exhibits antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties of Life Global.
