Kurzweil & Grossman's Juice Complex combines several specialized juice extracts in a convenient capsule: Açai, Gogi, Noni, Mangosteen, Resveratrol and Pomegranate.
Oxidative stress accelerates the aging process and may contribute to many serious diseases.1 By supplementing with antioxidants, such as the juices of these unusual fruits, you can draw on their capacities to neutralize free radicals and help protect your cellular health and immune system function. The USDA tested many common foods to evaluate their Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) values and found fruits such as pomegranates, blueberries and raspberries have very high ORAC values.2
Resveratrol is the active ingredient in red wine that helps explain the "French paradox," namely that the French typically eat a diet quite high in saturated fat, yet suffer a low rate of atherosclerotic heart disease. Resveratrol appears to work as a powerful antioxidant helping quench free radical damage in the body1, but also has a unique mechanism of action that may prove to have significant life extension properties. Resveratrol appears to help maintain healthy DNA and plays an important role in protecting cells and supporting mitochondrial function.2,9
Resveratrol may produce benefits similar to caloric restriction (CR).3, 7 The most powerful means of extending life span in animals appears to be through CR. While CR has not been shown to result in life extension in humans, some early studies suggest it may produce this desirable benefit.4 However, restricting calories by 30 percent or more is necessary to produce these benefits and is very difficult for most people. Research has focused on compounds that affect SIRT1, the gene that seems most closely linked with life extension from caloric restriction.
Açai is one of the top antioxidants existing in nature, possessing at least ten times more antioxidant activity than red wine and nearly three times more than blueberries.3 Research indicates that blood antioxidant capacity increases significantly within hours of consuming juice from the açai berry.4
