Young Living Essential Oils combines quality wolfberries with carefully monitored production techniques to create a drink that not only tastes good, but that benefits your body.
Free radicals come from sources outside your body, such as tobacco smoke, toxins, or pollutants, and can damage your body's cells, proteins, and DNA by altering their chemical structure. They can cause aging and illness.
Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) is a value given to a food or supplement's ability to help the body scavenge free radicals before they cause damage. Superoxide-oxygen radical absorbance capacity (S-ORAC) is the value given to a food or supplement's ability to help the body scavenge superoxide-oxygen radicals specifically.
Superoxides are believed to be the most damaging free radicals.
Independent tests show that NingXia Red® offers more ORAC and S-ORAC protection than all other juices tested.
The proprietary blend in NingXia Red may also:
Protect DNA
Unchecked free radicals attack DNA, the blueprint used to create new cells. If not repaired, damaged DNA copies itself into new cells and each new cell is damaged and mutations occur.*
A number of studies show that wolfberries protect against DNA breakage and mutations.* Additionally, ellagic acid, found in blueberries, raspberries, and pomegranates (all juice ingredients in NingXia Red) may “protect DNA against injury.”*
Enhance Immunity
In a landmark preclinical study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association, researchers determined that wolfberry juice and NingXia Red provides immune-boosting benefits.*
In an animal study done at a hospital in Beijing in 2002, the wolfberry was found to stimulate interleukin-2 and gamma interferon, two anti-inflammatory substances important in supporting a healthy immune system.*
Support Eye Health
Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid found in high amounts in the wolfberry. And some forty clinical studies show that it has powerful abilities to support the eyes.*
