The Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) is very closely related to the Bilberry of northern Europe and to the Cranberry of North America. It is one of the few fruits native to North America. It has been used by the native Americans for centuries as a tasty food source and as a medicinal aid. Like it’s relatives, the blueberry is a rich source of the phenolic antioxidant called anthocyanin, as well as potassium, calcium, vitamins A, C, and E, folic acid, and fiber. It is reported by researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center (HNRCA) that blueberries have higher antioxidant capacity than 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables.
Recent animal research indicates that blueberries may be beneficial in slowing the process of age-related mental decline, possibly a result of the high antioxidant capacity of the anthocyanins that are so prevalent in this fruit. Also a result of this important compound, blueberries may help reduce the build up LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and thus help prevent heart disease and strokes. Also like its close relative, the bilberry, the blueberry may play a role in improving eyesight and reducing eye strain.
Just like many of the Vaccinium berries (bilberry, cranberry) the blueberry contains another biologically active substance called resveratrol. This compound has been found to suppress tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis (programmed tumor cell death) in selected cancer cell lines. Resveratrol also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well.
Although the blueberry is not a cure–all, it does contain biologically important substances may help us to live better and healthier lives. It is an important component of Agel EXO, and it contributes synergistically with the other 13 exotic fruits and herbs to create a supplement with exceptional health–enhancing properties.
The North American Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) has a long and distinguished history. Not only has it been a food source, but has been used in ceremonies and for medicinal purposes. Cranberries are packed with nutrients and have been extensively researched. Cranberries have long been the focus of interest for their beneficial effects in preventing urinary tract infections. Cranberries contain proanthocyanidin compounds which prevent bacteria from attaching to the uroepithelial cells in the urinary tract.
Cranberries not only contain antioxidants but have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties as well. Cranberries contain powerful phenolic antioxidants like anthocyanins, specifically it is the quercetin glycosides that provide cranberries with their free radical scavenging and enzyme inhibiting actions. The phenol antioxidants have also been shown to increase HDL (the “good” cholesterol) and reduce the oxidation of LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) potentially decreasing the risk of atherosclerosis. Resveratrol is an anti-cancer compound that is found naturally in cranberries. Resveratrol has been found to suppress tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis (programmed tumor cell death) in selected cancer cell lines. Resveratrol also has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties as well.
Cranberries are paced with nutrients and are an excellent source of antioxidants. Agel EXO, users can take advantage of the powerful antioxidant properties along with the benefits of 13 other exotic fruits and herbs from around the world.
Noni (Morinda citrifola) is an evergreen plant that is native to Malaysia, Australia, and Polynesia. There is reference to its use as a healing botanical in ancient Sanskrit Ayurvedic (traditional medicine in India) medical texts dating back thousands of years. It has been used to treat many different health disorders over the same period in multiple cultures, and it is only recently that its biologically active components have been identified and its healing properties have been explained.
In the Noni fruit, scientists have identified significant quantities of a precursor (proxeronine) to the pharmacologically active substance called xeronine. The proxeronine is ingested as part of the fruit and is converted to xeronine in the digestive tract and is subsequently absorbed into the body. Xeronine is believed to play a significant role in the proper synthesis and function of proteins that are crucial to the health of each our body’s cells. Generally speaking, this molecule has an influence on multiple organ systems within our bodies and therefore can affect the proper function of multiple cellular processes that all contribute to our overall health. As a result, the list of ailments that have been treated by the Noni fruit for thousands of years is long and comprehensive. For this reason, the noni fruit is considered by some cultures to be a “cure all” for most health related complaints. Certainly, in our sophisticated, technologically advanced society, it is difficult to make that claim. However, it is clear based on millennia of experience that the noni fruit has some important healing properties.
Noni, by itself is an amazing fruit with many health benefits. But, in Agel EXO, it represents only a part of the wonderful ensemble of 14 exotic fruits and herbs from around the world.
Mangosteen is a sweet-tasting fruit from an ever-bearing tree native to Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and SE Asia. Mangosteen is traditionally eaten as a breakfast fruit and dessert; and for diarrhea and skin diseases.
Mangosteen fruits are excellent sources of antioxidants and vitamins. Mangosteen contains water-soluable vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C as well as essential mineral cofactors potassium, calcium, phophorus and iron. Mangosteen contains as many as 60 xanthone antioxidants. The pericarp (rind) of Mangosteen is rich in xanthone antioxidants. Mangosteen fruit contains numerous bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and catechins. In addition, Mangosteen polysaccharides provide antibacterial and antifungal properties. Mangosteen contains more than 80 antioxidants and a very high ORAC value.
