I just received some cans of Verve Energy Drink in the post, and tried my first can this afternoon. It’s really yummy, tastes like Passiona, which I’ve always loved. I know it’s difficult to believe someone who markets a product, and I can’t help but rave about this.
I’ve tried a number of different energy drinks over the years, and this one sure is different. Within about 5 minutes, I felt the energy kick in, and I feel great. It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon here, and I usually feel a little tired by this time of day, and ready for a lift. I’m mentally wide awake and feel like sitting at this computer for hours! Most days, after lunch, if it’s not too hot, I go for a long walk to get me moving, but today I’m motivated to do some work right here!
If you would like to know more about this energy drink, go to Verve Energy Drink.

We all know by now that nutrition supplements are not meant to cure, treat or prevent any specific condition or symptom. And, we can only find out what supplements do for our own bodies, and read research that has been done.
Back in February 2004, there was an article in the Time Magazine on Inflammation
The article reports that inflammation is critical to many diseases, such as Multiple Schlerosis, cancer, Alzheimers, heart attacks, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, and arthritis.
Many people take drugs every day to deal with those diseases, and many of the drugs have some serious side effects.
On the other hand, there is research which shows that mangosteen is a powerful anti-inflammatory, and the mangosteen has no known side effects. So, nutrition supplements containing mangosteen whole fruit, including the pericarp extract, are important to consider. Of course, it’s important to consult your medical practitioner if you have any health conditions.
Here is more information about mangosteen and it’s benefits here: Vemma Mangosteen

There have been some more tests conducted on the amounts of Xanthones in the Mangosteen Juice products from two different companies. A particular class of plant nutrients that possess very potent antioxidants and are highly, biologically active, are called Xanthones.
Xanthones cause the mangosteen fruit’s antioxidants to be many times stronger than those of fruit and vegetables, and different mangosteen juices contain different amounts of xanthones. So, to get full benefit of a particular type of mangosteen juice, it’s best to take one that has a greater amount of xanthones.
To see the results from the latest testing of xanthone content and to get more information about the mangosteen fruit, go here: Testing of Xanthone Content in Vemma Mangosteen juice products.

Merry Christmas to everyone who sees this!
I wish you a Safe, FUN and Happy Holiday!
We are staying home for Christmas this year, and going to a restaurant down near the beach for Dinner, with our daughter and her boyfriend.
It’s quite warm here on the Gold Coast at Christmas time, although the predicted temperature is only 24 degrees Celsius, which is fairly cool for this time of year.
What are you doing for the Chrissy holidays?
Bye for now, Julieanne and John van Zyl

A lot of multivitamins are taken in pill or tablet form, even though research has determined that liquid nutrition supplements are highly bioavailable. Bioavailable means it is “body ready”, and easily absorbed into the blood-stream.
Liquid supplements are also much nicer and easier to take, especially for younger and older people, and those who just can’t swallow pills. To read more about liquid supplements go to:- liquid Vemma nutrition supplements.

Research has been done on the importance of particular vitamins found in some nutrition supplements. The Journal of the American Medical Association published a comprehensive review of almost 40 years worth of scientific research on the relationship between certain diseases and vitamins. This review was published in June 2002. Two Harvard researchers conducted this review, which clearly illustrates how vitamin deficiencies are associated with chronic diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease and osteoporosis.
They also located many studies which prove that taking folic acid during pregnancy helps prevent certain birth defects. Prevention of heart disease and several types of cancer has also been proven when folic acid is taken on a regular basis.
The researchers also located evidence that the intake of Vitamin E is an important antioxidant necessary for immune function. Vitamin E was also found to play a role in the prevention of heart disease and prostate cancer in some people.
Also in the review was the importance of Vitamin D and its relation to bone mass, as well as supportive evidence for the value of vitamins B6 and B12. These Harvard researchers now recommend that all adults take one multivitamin daily – based on the findings of the research and the recognition that Americans are not receiving enough vitamins from their diets. More information can be found about this research in the Journal of American Medical Association, June 19,2002.

The Verve Energy Drink is still very new to Vemma, having only been released at the beginning of November, 2007. The Verve drink is different from most other energy drinks, because it is a nutrition supplement with an energy component added to it.
So, like the other Vemma products, it contains: whole fruit mangosteen and pericarp extract, multivitamins, essential minerals, aloe vera and green tea. Along with the nutrition supplement ingredients, it contains guarana, for energy.
For more information about this healthy energy drink, go to Verve Healthy Energy Drink

Nutrition supplements containing essential minerals along with multivitamins and mangosteen juice seem to be rare. I only know of one, and there might be more, I just haven’t come across any others with all contained in one drink.
It’s a shame because according to USDA statistics, the average American diet is significantly lacking in the essential minerals required for energy production and protection from free radical damage as well as other vital functions. The statistics come from the USKA’s 1994-96 Continuing Survey of Food intakes by individuals and 1994-96 Diet and Health Knowledge Survey.

Today, everyone knows that taking some kind of nutrition supplements is important. One time people thought you were a bit freaky if you took supplements, but now, it seems more like the norm, than abnormal.
Everybody is familar with the massive increase in rates of disease. Heart disease and cancer are on the increase, so is blood pressure, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, immune disfunction, arthritis, osteoporosis, obesity, alzheimers.
Most people are familiar with the fact that nutrient value in foods is on the decrease, and this results in immune system disfunction.
Some prominent people in the medical field have said that all disease conditions can be traced ultimately back to some kind of nutrient deficiency. People know that the nutrient value of foods is down because the nutrient value in the earth is down, and as foods grow, minerals and various nutritional elements are not in the earth. And, so they can’t get into the food.
So, many people are looking for good quality nutrition supplements to make up for these deficiencies in their food. Go here to find out more information about high quality Vemma nutrition supplements
