Blueberries are nutritional “stars” bursting with nutrition and flavor while being very low in calories. The antioxidant capability of blueberries helps to neutralize free radical damage to the collagen matrix of the cells and tissues that can cause diseases and cancer. Because of the high level of carotenes and polyphenols in blueberries, they have a direct immune system strengthening effect. Blueberries are also rich in Vitamin C, iron, important tannins and the natural colorant, Anthocyanin, which is good for the cholesterol level.

Blackberries are one of the top five fruits in the “antioxidant superfruit” league. Jam-packed with polyphenols and anthocyanins, not to mention flavonoids, blackberries deliver a rich supply of Vitamins A and C, fiber, potassium, magnesium, copper and rare manganese. Blackberries are high in gallic acid, rutin and ellagic acid, a well known substance with anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Due to the dark blue color of blackberries, they have one of the highest antioxidant levels of fruits regularly tested for their ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), therefore making blackberries excellent sources of helping to fight free radical damage in the body and to reduce the risks of certain cancers.

Rooibos, or South African “red bush” tea, has higher antioxidants than green tea, and it is caffeine free. Rooibos is rich in vitamins, natural minerals, and is an excellent aid in digestion.

The amount of polyphenols contained in Rooibos, have proven in clinical studies, that this tea is comparable to green tea in its anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activity. Rooibos, similar to Green tea, has positive effects on the protection of the blood vessels and skin cells. A big difference is the convulsant and anti-allergic effect, that reduces the release of histamine in the body.

Because of Rooibos’ strong mineral content which includes iron, potassium, zinc, manganese and sodium, the body's equilibrium system is quickly restored after strenuous physical exercise and metabolic functions.

According to clinical studies conducted in South Africa and Japan, Rooibos has been proven to aid in health problems such as insomnia, irritability, headaches, nervous tension, and hypertension. Perhaps rooibos’ biggest advantage is being caffeine free and low in tannins, therefore dehydration effects are non-existant.

Glucose, also known as grape sugar or blood sugar, is the most important and omnipresent sugar in biology. Glucose is used in living cells in most organisms as a source of energy and as a metabolic intermediate.  Glucose is the primary source of energy for the brain and directly influences psychological processes and conditions. Glucose can pass the blood-brain-barrier and deliver most of the energy used in a rapid amount of time. The average adult human brain utilizes 20% of the body‘s energy intake, which makes it the body‘s most energetic organ.

The carbohydrates from Glucose can be assimilated instantly into the bloodstream as a source of energy, as it is metabolized instantly by the body delivering instant energy to the brain.

The English word ginseng is derived from “ese” and means “root man” referring to the root's characteristic forked shape. Ginseng roots which are shaped like the human body are considered highly desirable and some consider it to be an aphrodisiac and stimulant.

Ginseng has been a part of Chinese medicine for thousands of years, as it is commonly used in connection with cancer, anxiety, colds, flu and lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Panax ginseng has a relaxing effect on the muscles in the lungs, resulting in airway relaxation which can help calm asthma symptoms and other airways constricting lung conditions. In clinical studies, a combination of panax ginseng and gingko biloba has proven to increase memory and cognitive processes. Panax ginseng reduces symptoms of fatigue and weakness, vitalizes in times of decreasing mental cognition and has a positive effect on convalescence, metabolic parameters and the immune response.

Mushrooms in a refeshing drink? It sounds strange at a first glance, but shiitake has been a symbol of longevity in Asia for centuries due to its’ health-promoting properties.

Shiitake provides high levels of potassium, Vitamin B complexes, calcium, magnesium and trace elements like phosphorus. Shiitake is also rich in beta-glucan (polysaccharides), and it also harnesses anti-inflammatory effects.

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.
