What is
Fruits of Life Powder?
Fruits of Life Powder is
a revolutionary whole food product designed to assist the
body in attaining vibrant health and reverse the aging
process at the cellular level. Fruits of
LifeTM
provides over 21 certified organic nutrients and
beneficial probiotics. These specially selected foods, rich
in antioxidant and immune-enhancing properties, are blended
in a base of alkalizing minerals from hormone-free goat's
milk. For thousands of years, our ancestors regularly ate
foods rich in the nutrients necessary to prolong and
preserve life. In today's fast paced society it is
difficult, if not impossible, to obtain the quality and
concentrations of nutrients necessary to positively impact
our health on a daily basis.
Garden of
LifeTM has combined antioxidant
rich fruits and alkaline forming minerals in one complete
product. Fruits of LifeTM may help your body fight
the destructive nature of free radicals and clear the
deposits of acidic wastes at the cellular level.
Why Do We Need Antioxidants?
Antioxidants
found in our fruits and vegetables help to fight and
eliminate free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals are
considered a major component in aging and disease
progression. Research has shown that rheumatoid arthritis,
chronic fatigue, and even certain types of cancer are the
direct result of free radical damage in the body. The
destruction of healthy cells may be avoided by simply adding
a powerful antioxidant nutrient combination, such as Fruits
of LifeTM, to your daily diet.
Why Is Alkalinity Important?
Alkalinity
(or the proper pH) is important because, like body
temperature, there is an "optimal" range in which the body
prefers to create healthy reactions. Fruits of
LifeTM can help ensure that
"preferred pH range" is maintained. The more frequently that
preferred pH range is disturbed, the greater the chance of
disease. According to Japanese research, the following
diseases are associated with over acidity in the body:
cancer, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes,
arthritis, gout, kidney disease, chronic fatigue, psoriasis,
hives, eczema, osteoporosis, constipation, heartburn,
asthma, hay fever, allergies, headaches, neuralgia,
indigestion, nausea, obesity, tooth and gum diseases, and
leg cramps.
What Is In Fruits of
Life Powder?
Fruits of Life Powder
contains certified organic fruit extracts with high
scores in the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capability)
analysis performed at Tufts
University in
Boston. Foods that score high on
this extensive test have been shown to significantly protect
cells and their components from oxidative damage and may
even slow the processes associated with aging in both body
and brain function. "If these findings are borne out in
further research, young and middle-aged people may be able
to reduce aging-related diseases - including senility
-simply by adding high-ORAC foods to their diets," said ARS
administrator Floyd P. Horn. Chief of the neuroscience
laboratory, James Joseph, PhD. says, "high ORAC foods have
been found to raise the antioxidant power of human blood 10
- 25% and prevent loss of long-term memory and learning
ability."
Antioxidant Fruit Blend
Blueberry:
Recent studies have shown that blueberries contain powerful
antioxidants which may retard the effects of aging and play
a significant role in preventing cancer. James Joseph, PhD.
chief of the neuroscience laboratory at the
Jean
Mayer
USDA
Human
Nutrition
Research
Center on Aging at
Tufts
University in
Boston, says, "The blueberry has
emerged as a very powerful food in the aging battle. Given
the possibility that blueberries may reverse short-term
memory loss and forestall other affects of aging, their
potential may be very great."
Strawberry: A great source
of natural vitamin C and a rich source of phytochemicals
such as quercetin and ellagic acid. It also contains
anthocyanin, a plant chemical that helps protect against
heart disease.
Raspberry: A rich source of
ellagic acid, vitamin C, and fiber. Blackberry: A
concentrated source of anthocyanins and other
phytochemicals.
Raisin: Raisins (dried
grapes), contain more than a dozen known antioxidants, as
well as resveratrol, a phytonutrient shown to have
cancer-prevention effects. Raisins are a rich source of
polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, which are recommended in
prevention and treatment protocols for cardiovascular
disease, cancer, inflammatory conditions, asthma, diabetes,
liver disease, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
Prune: New
studies show that, in addition to being a good source of
fiber, prunes may also help slow the aging process in both
the body and brain.
Mineral
MatrixTM:
Garden of
LifeTM has created this unique
blend of alkalizing minerals, enzymes, and probiotics from
goat's milk. Mineral MatrixTM feeds the beneficial
flora in the gastrointestinal tract, aiding in proper
digestion and elimination. It contains a high concentration
of organic sodium and potassium, which produce alkaline
reactions at the cellular level and aid in the reduction of
acid.
Flavonoids: Flavonoids are
potent antioxidants that prevent the formation of free
radicals. Flavonoids contain antibacterial and antiviral
properties as well as offer protection to the vast network
of capillaries and blood vessels in the system. The
flavonoids present in Fruits of LifeTM contain properties which
help correct vision problems including night blindness. They
also strengthen and repair broken capillaries, varicose
veins, and cardiac irregularities arising from a decrease in
blood flow and arterial blockage.
Proanthocyanidins: This
group of antioxidants is found in the seeds of grapes or
raisins, and has known immune enhancing effects.
Anthocyanins:
Flavonoids such as anthocyanin, found in blueberries, have a
unique chemical structure, that
makes them 3 - 4 times more potent than vitamin C, according
to Ronald L. Prior of Tufts
University. Research indicates that
anthocyanins offered as much protection as vitamin E against
oxidative damage.
Ellagic
Acid: Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries,
and blueberries contain the anticancer compound ellagic
acid. It is a naturally occurring plant phenol with the
highest concentrations contained in red raspberries.
According to Dr. Gary D. Stoner, a pathologist at the
Medical College of Ohio, ellagic acid is an antioxidant that
helps detoxify cancer-causing agents in several different
ways. Ellagic acid helps inhibit four different types of
cancer causing agents, including aflatoxin and nitrosamines.
Medical findings in Europe further show that ellagic
acid reduces the incidence of birth defects, promotes wound
healing, reduces and reverses chemically induced liver
fibrosis, and is helpful in the fight against heart disease.
Glutathione:
Glutathione is considered to be the most important
antioxidant for overall health. Dairy products, such as the
goat's milk contained in the Fruits of LifeTM Mineral
MatrixTM, are potent sources of
glutathione precursors. Glutathione helps regenerate cell
tissue and is the most valuable detoxifying agent in the
body. Low levels of glutathione are associated with early
aging and premature death.
The
Poten-ZymeTM Process
The
nutrient dense food and Mineral MatrixTM blend in Fruits of
LifeTM are pre-digested using
the proprietary Poten-ZymeTM process (Poten-tiation by
Enzym-atic activation). This proprietary process is an
exclusive natural process of lacto-fermentation and
enzymatic predigestion, carefully blended into selected
whole foods. The bioavailablity and absorption of nutrients
using this unique process is increased from 2-5 times.
People with sensitive digestive systems can benefit
tremendously from the increased nutrient values the
Poten-ZymeTM process yields. The
Poten-ZymeTM process creates and
liberates valuable compounds within the foods including:
enzymes, antioxidants, beta glucans, phytosterols, and many
others.
Fruits of Life Powder
tastes great and can be mixed with water, juice,
smoothies, cereal, yogurt, or eaten right out of the bottle.
