Açai (a-sigh-ee) (Euterpe oleracea) is considered to be one of the most nutritious fruits of the Amazon rainforest. It contains Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin C, Vitamin E (tocopherol), iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. It also contains the essential fatty acids Omega 6 and Omega 9 (these are the healthy fatty acids), and many of the essential amino acids, with a protein profile similar to an egg. And, that is just for starters. What makes Açai unique is that is very rich in anthocyanins, which are very potent antioxidants. In fact, this amazing fruit contains 33 times more anthocyanins than the red wine grape.
Anthocyanins as a class of nutrients are important in their ability to help prevent atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), and generalized cellular damage caused by free radicals in the body. They are considered to be very helpful in the anti-inflammatory process, and may even help to lower LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). In addition, they play an important role in neutralizing dangerous carcinogens.
Açai is an amazing fruit with many health benefits. But, what is truly amazing is that it is only one of the14 different exotic fruits and herbs contained in Agel EXO, each of which are loaded with health enhancing nutrients.
J Acerola (Malpighia glabra) is a fruit resembling the bing cherry that is believed to originate from the Yucatan peninsula in South America. Some of the largest plantings in modern times are in Brazil. It is one of the richest known food sources of vitamin C, and it is for this reason that this fruit has played an important role in South American herbal medicine. In addition, it has carotene content comparable to that of carrots, and is also a good supply of magnesium, and several of the B vitamins; niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B1 (thiamine), and vitamin B2 (riboflavin).
Vitamin C is a nutrient that must be supplied in the diet. It has many biological functions, including the formation and maintenance of collagen (the primary protein of skin and connective tissues), healthy maintenance of the liver and adrenal glands, and it is a powerful natural antihistamine. However, one of its most important roles is that of an antioxidant and its ability to help the body fight physiological stress. Our environment is filled with external stresses and pollutants that put our bodies under extraordinary pressure to maintain health. We are much more prone to infection and disease in our metropolitan environments and the intake of extra vitamin C can serve as an excellent adjunct to healthy living.
Some of the common ailments for which vitamin C is being taken in our modern society include: allergies, atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), bronchitis, cancer prevention, colds and flu, glaucoma, and skin wrinkles.
Acerola is loaded with many important nutrients, and it is an important component of Agel EXO. It contributes synergistically with the other 16 exotic fruits and herbs to create a supplement with exceptional health-enhancing properties.
There are over 240 different species of Aloe, growing mainly in the dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, and America. Celsius, a Greek physician (50 BC), first introduced Aloe into western medicine. "Greek Herbal" written by Dioscorides (AD 41-68) provides the first detailed description of the Aloe vera plant. Aloe uses include: induces sleep, cleanses the stomach, treatment for boils, good for dry itchy skin irritation, hemorrhoids, bruises, stops hair loss, mouth pain, and stops bleeding of wounds, heals tonsillitis and diseases of the mouth and eyes.
Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) contains over 20 mineral cofactors (notably, calcium, chlorine, copper, germanium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, silicon, sodium, and sulfur), which are essential to energy and stamina. Aloe vera contains all eight essential amino acids, and 11 of the 14 "secondary" amino acids. Aloe vera also contains numerous coenzymes: vitamins A, B, B2, B6, B12, C and E.
Recent research reveals the presence of beta-sitosterol (a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-cholesterolmatic) and lupeol (a powerful pain killer and anti-microbial). At least three anti-tumor agents: emodin, mannose, and lectin have been identified. Aloe antioxidant constituents also include Vitamin C, E, zinc and superoxide dismutase. Aloe vera contains 20-30 unique antioxidants.
