Mangosteen juice products contain xanthones which come from the mangosteen fruit. The effects of a variety of xanthones found in the mangosteen, have been studied in relationship to human leukemia cells. Xanthones are phytochemicals or plant nutrients. All of the xanthones in this study displayed growth inhibitory effects. For more information, go to the Journal of Natural Products, Volume 66,2003.

Nutrition Supplements and Vitamin D
Nutrition supplements containing vitamin D may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Recent research shows that a deficiency of vitamin D has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Individuals with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, are at an even higher risk when they have a vitamin D deficiency.
In the study, participants were tested for vitamin D status, if they had had no prior cardiovascular disease, then followed for an average of 5.4 years.
In areas without much sunshine in the United States, low levels of vitamin D are highly prevalent. Inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D enriched foods and pigmented skin that prevents penetration of the sun’s rays, and lack of sun exposure is responsible for the low levels of vitamin D.
Vitamin D can be found in the following Nutrition supplements

Nutrition supplements and Age-related Macular Degeneration
Studies have been done on the effects of taking nutrition supplements in relationship to age-related macular degeneration. Experts say that age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may stem from damage caused by oxidation reactions, although the condition is still not fully understood.
One study has shown that high doses of antioxidant supplements might slow a person’s progression of AMD. An important Age-Related Eye Disease Study tested the ability of antioxidants to fight AMD. Patients who had early AMD (identified by an examination of the retina) or those who had late-stage AMD (where one eye had significantly worsening vision) were studied. These people were given 5 to 13 times the recommended amounts of vitamins C and E, the mineral zinc and beta-carotene.
Supplement usage after 5 years, was linked with a 25% less progression to the late stages of AMD. For more details about these studies, go to Nutrition Notes By Karen Collins, R.D.

For information on some antioxidant supplements containing beta-carotene (Vitamin A), Vitamins C and E, the mineral zinc, as well as other beneficial nutrients, go to nutrition supplements.

Nutrition supplements and Hayfever
My daughter and her husband are taking the same nutrition supplements that I take. I have been down in South Australia visiting with them and my new little grandson, who is just gorgeous! It’s the middle of a very dry and hot summer down there, one of those summers where people prone to hayfever sneeze a lot!
My son in law used to be one of those people who sneezed all the time in spring, summer and autumn. I asked him if he’s taking any antihistamine drugs like he used to, and he said he’s not taken any drugs all this spring or summer. I don’t remember hearing his sneeze the whole 10 days I was there, so something is helping him.
Since he’s been taking these particular nutrition supplements for a year now, we reckon that’s what is helping. He is certainly happy about that!
Go to the following website, to read more about these nutrition supplements.

Nutrition supplements and glyconutrient-rich aloe vera
Nutrition supplements often contain healthy plant nutrients, which are glyconutrients. These are found at the cellular level of edible plants in the form of plant sugars or polysaccharides. Succulent and highly nutritious aloe vera plants contain glyconutrients.
Many necessary functions in the body are helped to be supported naturally by glyconutrients. The immune system is one very important function. The body’s defense mechanisms can be helped by glyconutrients which may enhance and condition cellular communication at a deep physiological level.
A vital role that sugar molecules play in the body, is to maintain healthy structure and
function. This is often called “cell to cell communication”. In the process of cell to cell communication, there is a variety of different sugar molecules involved. The main sugar molecule with respect to this process is mannose, and the secondary sugar molecule is galactose.
Go to the following website for more information on nutrition supplements which contain
glyconutrient rich aloe vera:- nutrition supplements

Nutrition Supplements, folic acid and Vitamin B12
According to research, Nutrition supplements should contain both Folic acid and vitamin B12. An important B vitamin for nerve and cardiovascular health is Folic acid. Some food has been fortified with folic acid, because it is considered so important. My daughter just had a little baby, and her doctor highly recommended her taking folic acid suppplements throughout her pregnancy. Research shows that folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy cuts down on nerve-related problems in the newborn child.
Vitamin B12, along with Folic acid is what supports heart and nerve health. Many people take additional folic acid without taking any extra B12. A new study shows that folic acid intake without B12 can make the cardiovascular stress worse.
So, it’s important for nutrition supplements to contain both Vitamin B12 and folic acid.

Vemma Mangosteen Juice products – why are they so beneficial?
Vemma Mangosteen juice products are beneficial to your health because of some interesting nutrients called Xanthones, which are found in the mangosteen fruit. I am sure you’ve probably already heard about antioxidants, which deal with the damage to the body by free radicals. Xanthones
are an extremely powerful antioxidant.
The mangosteen plant contains 40 known xanthones to deal with the damage, and because mangosteen juice products are liquid, assimilation within the body cells is very high. It crosses the cell boundary very effectively, and is readily available to the body. It is more rapidly absorbed by the body than capsules and tablets, and powders. Imagine your body as a sponge, and how a sponge more easily soaks up fluid as opposed to what it would do with a tablet or a powder.
Go here for more information about a mangosteen juice product, which has a very high content of xanthones, and also contains plant sourced minerals, aloe vera, green tea and vitamins.
