 Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a tropical fruit widely grown in East Asia. The hard skin of the fruit is dark purple-brown and is the size and shape of a tangerine. It has 5-8 fruit segments that are soft, cream-colored and juicy.Scientific research confirms that a variety of xanthones can be isolated from mangosteen plants and fruits including the hull, rind, heartwood, and flesh. There have been several studies that verify this, some reporting as many as six different types of xanthones found in the mangosteen fruit. Xanthones Xanthones are a class of polyphenolic compounds that commonly occur in plants and have been shown to have extensive biological activities. Recently, the properties of xanthones in the cardiovascular system have attracted great interest. Xanthones and xanthone derivatives have been shown to have beneficial effects on maintaining cardiovascular health. The yceum anc effects of xanthones in the cardiovascular system may be due to their antioxidant properties. In particular, the antagonism of endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitors by xanthones may represent the basis for maintaining endothelial function." Reaserchers have shown that the Xanthones in Mangosteen possesses potent antioxidant properties that work to help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, neutralize free radicals, help support cartilage and joint function, and promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system. It also contains bioflavonoids, which enhance vitamin C absorption, help maintain collagen and capillary walls, and aid the immune system.*Mangosteen is  a  natural Source of Fibre, Potassium, Calcium ,Vitamin B1,VitaminB2, Iron, Vitamin C & Vitamin B6.

 Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a superfruit which grows in the Amazonian rain forest of Peru. This  fruit  contains powerful phytochemicals with health benefits, including the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, and more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. The camu-camu fruit has a surprising range of therapeutic effects. Many people have stopped using large dosages of synthetic Vitamin C because they find that Camu-Camu is energizing, mood-lifting and highly effective in strengthening the immune system.* The Camu-Camu fruit is about the size of a large grape and has a purplish red skin with a yellow pulp. It grows wild, is harvested directly into a freezer boat, which travels down the river ways of the Amazon where the fruit is picked at the height of its ripeness and flash-frozen. It is then taken to a processing plant where it is thawed, peeled, liquefied and spray dried. The resulting powder is a pale pink to yellow beige with very potent effects. Camu Camu also contains fibre ,beta-carotene, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and other beneficial substances.Because of its food form, with bioflavanoids and other phytochemicals, clinical evidence suggests that the Vitamin C content in Camu Camu is far more effective,  than synthetic Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Given the properties of the camu camu berry it should come as no surprise that it offers a wealth of health benefits. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin C impacts collagen formation, ability to recover from physical exertion, and ability to adapt to increased altitude, in addition to its well-known effects on the immune system. As a natural vitamin C source, camu is superior to synthetic vitamin C products, as one study comparing camu camu juice and synthetic vitamin C found. Some users have reported almost immediate relief from sinus pain and pressure. Dr. James Duke, former chief botanist for the USDA, considers camu to be the top herb for asthma. In fact, he compared hundreds of botanicals and camu-camu was ranked #1 in effectiveness for asthma, atherosclerosis, cataracts, colds, gingivitis, glaucoma, hepatitis, infertility, migraines, osteoarthritis, pain, and Parkinson’s. Camu was also ranked #2 for depression, #4 as an antioxidant, and #6 as an antiviral.As an antiviral, camu has also been shown to be efffective against the herpes virus, which in its different forms is responsible for cold sores, genital herpes, shingles, and Epstein-Barr. Individuals seeking relief from these conditions have seen reduced outbreaks, rapid recovery, and in some cases even remission. Camu camu’s effects on the body make it beneficial for athletes.  The benefits of the vitamin C component alone are substantial, including improved development and healing of connective tissue.As vitamin C also promotes nervous system health and proper neurotransmitter formation, camu has these benefits. It also shows an ability to increase serotonin levels, an action which may be responsible for reports that it has provided relief for depression and a reduced reliance on prescription anti-depressants.

 Amazon Energy- the acai (ah-SAH’-ee) fruit (berry) has become known as oneof the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world. It comes from a palm plant that is widelydistributed in northern South America with its greatest occurrence and economic importance in Brazil.The acai palm is described as being very ornamental, with multiple branches reaching up to 80 feet inheight. It produces small deep purple, almost black, acai fruit berries that grow in groups of 3 – 8 per bunch.Acai  tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolates. Dr. Nicholas Perricone, is the  author of The Perricone Promise: Look Younger,Live Longer in Three Easy Steps. He has given acai the title of “Superfood No1” because of the numerous outstanding health promoting properties inherent in the fruit.Many Reports have featured Acai as a very potent fruit calling it the "Viagra of the Amazon", “Amazon Thunder” ,And “The latest look-better, live-longer superfruit?”Acai is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients and touting it for helping with circulation, longevity and anti-aging. Acai contains a remarkable concentration of antioxidants. In fact, it is probably one of the richest fruit sources known.This is key because the importance of antioxidants for health cannot be overstated due to their ability to mitigate damaging free radicals, slow down the aging process and protect against many diseases.The major source of antioxidants in acai is anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are the chemical components that give the intense color to many fruits and vegetables. These beneficial compounds are also found in red grapes which is why many doctors and health professionals recommend drinking red wine.The acai berry, however, contains as much as 33 times more anthocyanins than grapes.Healthy  fatty acids are also an exceptional feature of acai. The fatty acid component of this amazing fruit looks similar to olive oil,and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Research shows that this fat has the potential to support the prevention ofcardiovascular disease and cancer. The phytosterols block  cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream .actually helping to lower  cholesterol levels. Phytosterols also help prevent heart disease, help reduce inflammation in arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, and help to control blood sugar levels in diabetes. Together with its high fibre it helps to promote digestive tract heath. Acai stores significant amounts of calcium, which is beneficial to prevent osteoporosis, especially in women.Its high fiber and Omega-3 content helps to significantly lower cholesterol level in the blood. This wonder fruit also boasts of the power of macro minerals- potassium, sulphur, magnesium, and phosphorous- which are needed to get rid of such problems like acne, menopausal and heart complications.
