What are proanthocyanidins and their benefits?

What are proanthocyanidins and their benefits?

Dr. Yibing Wang

Proanthocyanidins are a specific class of phytonutrients with numerous health-giving properties. This class of flavonoids earned their primary reputation as being powerful antioxidants or free radical scavengers. Free radicals are damaging unstable oxygen molecules that get into the body as a result of over-exercise, stress, being exposed to dirty air and other environmental pollutants. Proanthocyanidins also help in the stabilization of collagen and elastin. These are two critical fibrous proteins found in the connective tissues that support organs, joints, blood vessels and muscles. Proanthocyanidins can be found in numerous plant and food sources.

We recently tested* Vemma’s Mangosteen Plus for the presence of these beneficial nutrients and found that we have 1,013% more than a leading competitor – 160 mgs per serving! This reinforces the fact that Mangosteen Plus is the most powerful whole fruit mangosteen juice product anywhere!

 

 

 

 

What is an antioxidant?

Antioxidants Promote Cellular Longevity*

Mangosteen PlusWhat is an antioxidant?

Let’s start with a little background information first. Just like rust on a car, oxidation can damage our bodies’ cells and may contribute to the aging process. Oxidation happens as the result of invading, damaging molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that get into the body as a result of over-exercise, stress, being exposed to dirty air and other environmental pollutants.

Antioxidants help prevent oxidation by counteracting free radicals.* They do this by binding to them and transforming them into non-damaging compounds. Consequently, antioxidants are integral in supporting the body’s natural defense system.*

What do you mean by promote?

To contribute to the progress of something in a positive way.

What do you mean by cellular?

In relation to the human body, cellular means of, relating to or consisting of cells. A cell is the smallest structural unit in the body capable of functioning independently.

What do you mean by longevity?

A long duration of individual life or long continuance.

What can we conclude from the claim “Antioxidants Promote Cellular Longevity?”*

The conclusion is powerful. Antioxidants, because of their free radical scavenging capabilities, have the ability to promote the longevity of individual cells and when individual cells in the body are supported in a positive way, the body as a whole becomes supported. This in turn contributes to the potential for overall well-being and vitality in the long term.* Antioxidants are a crucial part of any serious nutrition program and independent laboratory tests confirm Vemma® is the most powerful liquid antioxidant available anywhere!

Minerals are amazing!

Essential MineralsWhy Minerals?

Minerals are amazing! They’re amazing because even in infinitesimal amounts these nutrients can produce unexplainable, beneficial changes in body chemistry.* Minerals are nutrients required by the body to help facilitate a multitude of biochemical and physiologic processes necessary for the maintenance of life.* Some of these processes include supporting the health of organs, bones, tissue and the immune system.* Minerals, like vitamins, are not synthesized in our bodies; therefore we must acquire them from outside sources.

Why Plant Source Minerals?

Because plant source minerals are from Mother Nature herself! Here’s how it works: plants assimilate minerals from the soil they are embedded in and in the process an amazing conversion that science has not been able to duplicate takes place preparing some of them for human consumption. Nature really intended for humans to get minerals from plant foods — lots of minerals. As a matter of fact, minerals can be found in nearly all foods that are grown in soil. Carrots, grapes, broccoli…you name it. The problem in this day and age is that food processing, chemical fertilizers and overused crop lands make it impossible to get a wide spectrum of minerals from our diets. We just aren’t getting what nature intended. Nothing is more beneficial than a full range of plant source minerals sourced from deposits that are thousands of years old — it’s like harnessing the power of nature!

Why Supplement with Vemma’s Essential Minerals®?

Vemma’s Essential Minerals® provides what the modern, convenience-driven diet may be lacking: 65 major, trace and ultra-trace minerals in an ionic liquid form. The minerals are extracted from nutrient-dense plant vegetation that has been undisturbed for thousands of years. Then they are broken down into a bioavailable (body-ready) ionic state. This means the minerals are reduced to the smallest component that minerals can exist in and still retain their physical properties and are suspended into a completely dissolved liquid form. The result is a 100% ionic liquid mineral product that is easy for the body to use. This is important because as we age, the ability of the body to handle minerals declines, so body-ready minerals can be very helpful.

And, on a different note, because of the natural kiwi and strawberry flavors in Vemma’s Essential Minerals, this beneficial liquid provides a delicious taste treat!

What is an Orac Value?

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity or ORAC for Short!
Dr. Yibing Wang

The term Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is quite a mouthful! And, it is important for consumers and health care providers to understand what it means, particularly in relation to dietary supplements and their health benefits.

ORAC is a test tube method of measuring the antioxidant potency in foods and supplements. But, before going any further, it is important to know what antioxidants are and why they are essential for health.

Just like rust on a car, oxidation can damage our bodies’ cells and may contribute to the aging process. Oxidation happens as the result of invading, damaging molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that get into the body as a result of over-exercise, stress, being exposed to dirty air, and other environmental pollutants.

Antioxidants help prevent oxidation by counteracting free radicals.* They do this by binding to them and transforming them into non-damaging compounds. Consequently, antioxidants are integral in supporting the body’s natural defense system.* For this reason it is important to have a product that is high in antioxidant protection.

ORAC test results let us know which foods and supplements are high or low in antioxidant protection. When a food or supplement is being measured for antioxidant potency by the ORAC method, a value reflecting the strength and duration of the product’s antioxidant protection ability is given as a single number. The higher the number, the stronger the protection.

Ronald Prior, the scientist who helped devise the ORAC test, recommends that people consume at least 3,500 ORAC units a day to have a significant impact on the body.

For individuals who don’t get lots of fruit and vegetables in their diet, a supplement with a high ORAC value can contribute to a strong daily nutritional regime.

So, for robust protection, Vemma may be just what the doctor ordered. With a whopping 115,000+ ORAC units, that’s over 3400 per dose, you may just have the most powerful liquid antioxidant product anywhere!
