Why are Antioxidants Important for my Health?

A natural question may be "What are antioxidants, and why it is important for me to have them?"

11 Healthful Ingredients: Formulated for the promotion of energy, health and longevity, this powerful juice blend conbines 11 fruits and herbs to yield a uniquely formulated natural health product with truly exceptional holisic properties. Zambroza is made from the exotic-tasting mangosteen, wolfberry and sea buckthorn from the Orient. Plus, we've added the antioxidant power of red and concord grapes, raspberries, blueberries, grape seed and grape skin, apple fruit extract and decaffinated green tea extract.

Antioxidant Power: Antioxidants scavenge the free radicals that occur in the body as a byproduct of energy production or as a result of pollution, tobacco smoke, ultraviolet light and radiation. Zambroza delivers a powerful punch of antioxidant power.

In formulating Zambroza, NSP Scientists drew from Mother Nature's arsenal of antioxidant protectors. NSP carefully researched ingredients high in antioxidant activity, and selected elite ingredients. An Independent lab found that Zambroza has more than twice the ORAC antioxidant capacity - the power to neutralize free radicals - than its competitors.

Bioflavonoid Power: Bioflavonoids are responsible for giving fruits and vegetables their bright colors. In the body, bioflavonoid enhances vitamin C absorption and help maintain collagen integrity and capillary walls. They also aid in the body's defenses. And an independently conducted immune response test found that Zambroza is 3.1 times stronger that its closest competitor in stimulating the immune system.

Xanthones: Mangosteen yields very high concentrations of xanthones, compounds that offer immune and cardiovascular support. Xanthones have recently attracted attention from scientists and researchers who are investigating mechanisms whereby these compounds support the immune, cardiovascular and structural system as well as several other health benefits.

The extract of mangosteen fruit, and pericarp used in Zambroza significantly contributes to it's higher xanthone content versus other mangosteen juices, as shown by an independent lab analysis.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently stated, "Eating plenty of high-ORAC (high antioxidant) fruits and vegetables--such as spinach and blueberries--may help slow the processes associated with aging in both body and brain."

You have witnessed the results of oxidation many times in your life--whenever you see iron, steel, or some other metal collect rust. This oxidation process (rusting) weakens the metal and can cause other problems. Can you imagine this type of process going on in your body? It does. It is caused not only by free radicals that result from toxins in the environment and food sources, but also by the natural process of metabolism--the conversion of food into energy.

Free radicals are particles that accumulate in the body as a byproduct of energy production, as well as through pollution, smoke, UV light, radiation, food additives, pesticides, and water chemicals--to name a few. These free-radicals "bounce around" from cell to cell, weakening and damaging them--similar to the rust oxidation example. The average cell in your body is attacked thousands of times per day by these harmful electrons.

There are many results of free radical damage--cancer, heart disease, wrinkles, other aging symptoms--and many more. Even if you are "healthy", antioxidants are vitally important to prevent cellular damage from the constant attack that your body is experiencing.

Antioxidants scavenge and neutralize free radicals, helping to prevent cellular damage and lessen the results that follow. Even healthy people need mangosteen and Zambroza!
