Our Juice Complex combines several specialized juice extracts in a convenient capsule: Açai, Gogi, Noni, Mangosteen, and Pomegranate. Oxidative stress accelerates the aging process and may contribute to many serious diseases.1 By supplementing with antioxidants, such as the juices of these unusual fruits, you can draw on their capacities to neutralize free radicals and help protect your cellular health and immune system function. The USDA tested many common foods to evaluate their Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) values and found fruits such as pomegranates, blueberries and raspberries have very high ORAC values.2 Açaí is one of the top antioxidants existing in nature, possessing at least ten times more antioxidant activity than red wine and nearly three times more than blueberries.3 Research indicates that blood antioxidant capacity increases significantly within hours of consuming juice from the açaí berry.4 The noni berry has been used by Polynesians in their natural remedies for over 2000 years. The berry is reported to have many beneficial effects and to support a healthy immune system.5 Of the various plants traditionally used in Thai remedies, mangosteen has been identified as the most potent for maintaining strong immune system activity.6 It has also been used to assist in proper digestive function and increase energy. The fruit exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and is the most plentiful natural source of xanthones, plant compounds with strong antioxidant activity.7 Goji berries have been used to support healthy digestive function, reduce fatigue and stress, and promote a sense of well-being.8 Our juice formula is fortified with Resveratrol and a proprietary blend of additional berry extracts to offer effective antioxidant properties. Dosage: Two capsules daily or as directed by your physician. Ray & Terry’s Juice Extract contains 60 capsules per bottle. | Supplement Facts | Serving Size: 1 Capsule
