Orange juice is the #1 citrus fruit consumed worldwide, and the reason is not simply its delicious and tasty flavor.  Orange juice is rich in Vitamin C, folic acid, Vitamin B1, dietary fiber, potassium and magnesium.  Orange juice also contains metabolizing ingredients which increase the effect of Vitamin C in the body, which aids cell protection.

Mango delivers a rich cocktail of antioxidants composed of essential vitamins and minerals. Mango is richer in Vitamin A than most fruits, and also exceeds with high levels of folic acid, calcium, zinc, iron, potassium and other rare trace elements which support a strong cardiovascular system. Two important free radical scavengers, beta-carotene and a high dose of Vitamin C help to successfully reduce oxidative stress within the cells. The only thing that is scarce in a Mango is calories…..something so healthy never tasted so delicious!

Did you know that there are over 400 varieties of passion fruit in existence, but only 30 varieties which are edible? What a pity, as the tangy and tantalizing passion fruit is high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, niacin and potassium. The rich fiber content helps the body maintain a strong degree of satiety, and is also helpful in preventing coronary heart disease.

Passion fruit also helps maintain safe levels of cholesterol in the body. Passion fruit juice is a good source of ascorbic and many other organic acids, and contains significant amounts of potassium, phosphor and calcium. Powerful antioxidants and inflammatory agents help to decrease the symptoms associated with asthma. Passion fruit is rich in carbohydrates, and is a good source of sustainable energy, which is stored in the muscles and liver and can be used later when your body is in need of an energy boost.

The fifth most abundant element by mass in the body, Calcium acts as a common cellular ionic messenger with many functions in muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release, as well as the body’s glycogen metabolism and cell division. Calcium is essential for all living organisms, particularly cell physiology where it activates many cellular enzymatic and hormonal processes.

The body needs calcium for strong teeth and bone structure, as it provides stability and strength early in life, while keeping them strong and healthy later in life.

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals that help the body’s overall well being. Magnesium provides the first and most concise deficiency sign when the body is stressed, as it is involved in nearly every muscle and nervous control function, and in over 300 enzymatic processes due to its central role in metabolism and energy production.

Nearly all DNA and repair enzymes require magnesium. Magnesium does not only promote genomic stability, like calcium it is essential for the inner cell structure, mucous membranes and the skeleton. Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system by blocking the synaptic function and stewing  nervous conductions.

The muscles need magnesium to relax and to avoid cramps, especially during and after rigorous exercise and physical activity. But not only should high performance athletes maintain sufficient levels of magnesium in their bodies, but also those who are looking to ward off serious diseases and ailments.

All human beings require a complex balance of electrolytes between the extra-cellular and intra-cellular milieu of the cells. The precise osmotic gradient affects and regulates the hydration of the body, blood pH level and all nerve and muscle functions, because these processes are activated by electrolyte activity.

The primary ions are sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, calcium, hydrogen phosphate and carbonate which is needed to replenish the body’s water and electrolyte levels after exercise.

Without sufficient levels of these key electrolytes, muscle weakness, cramping and severe muscle contractions may occur. Exercising under extreme conditions without consuming the right amount of electrolytes may risk dehydration and decrease power and performance.

Some cultures call the cactus plant from which aloe vera is derived, „the silent healer“ or „Doctor Aloe“ as a result of its hidden inner potential. Aloe vera is comprised of more than 20 different mineral supplements and essential trace elements, essential vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and digestive ferments, which makes this a magic bullet in many respects.

Aloe vera is recognized as a remedy for burns and abrasions and general skin health. The long chain of polysaccharides are active components and important for cell integrity and regeneration. The gel made of aloe leaves has an anti-inflammatory effect and strengthens your metabolism. So you see: aloe vera is more than just a sunburn remedy after all….

Green Tea, known in Asia for centuries as a health elixir and fountain of youth, has recently become more popular in Western countries due to its amazing health benefits. No surprise, as Green Tea is considered the origin for a multitude of bioactive ingredients. Green Tea has also been reported in many studies to prevent cardiovascular diseases and cancer and many studies claim that it may help combat osteoporosis. Green Tea is rich in natural caffeine and catechins (especially EGCG), trace minerals and fluoride, and therefore high in other polyphenols which have a positive impact on many metabolic processes like thermogenesis, blood sugar and cholesterol levels with its detoxifying effect. Because Green Tea is not fermented, nearly all of these ingredients are fully preserved. Green Tea contains only 50% of the caffeine found in brewed coffee and black tea, but releases a stimulating and invigorating effect which is slower and last longer.

Many now tout this elixir as a natural and readily available miracle drug.
