With the passage of time we become more and more conscious of our own aging process. We want to grow old as gracefully as possible and may wonder about things we can do to enhance our quality of life. One of the key ways to ensure we age gracefully is to be certain we're getting proper nutrition from fruits, vegetables, and other foods high in antioxidants. Getting these vital amounts of antioxidants can be difficult through diet alone, which is why it's important to supplement any dietary deficiencies with antioxidant-rich supplements like NingXia Red.
NingXia Red's dense antioxidant properties and great taste make it a perfect choice for anyone wishing to supplement his or her diet with free radical fighting power. Free radicals are cell damaging atoms in the body that cause reactive chains believed to speed up the aging process and increase the risk of diseases. The body combats these destructive free radical chains by creating antioxidants: molecules that can terminate these chains without causing further harm to bodily processes. The antioxidant potency of NingXia Red is so strong that drinking one ounce every day infuses the body with more free radical defenses than could possibly be consumed through diet alone.
Even the most balanced of diets wouldn't approach the antioxidant benefits received you drinking a single ounce of NingXia Red. Exactly how much would we have to eat to get the equivalent antioxidant potency? One ounce of NingXia Red has the same antioxidant levels as 34 large onions, 100 oranges, 814 blueberries, 22 medium carrots, 10.85 pounds of spinach, 55.33 pounds of almonds, 59 broccoli florets, 73 medium strawberries, 93 apples, or 130 tomatoes. (Ref 1) NingXia Red packs such a powerful free radical fighting punch because of the unique whole Ningxia wolfberry puree it contains - as well as Young Living's patented nutrient-preserving processing method developed in Ningxia, China.
The key to NingXia Red's antioxidant density comes from the 100% pure whole-food fruit puree, a super blend of blueberry, pomegranate, apricot, and raspberry juices; organic blue agave; water extracted grape pomace, ascorbic acid (vitamin C); and lemon and orange essential oils. These ingredients, coupled with our patented puree process, ensure that not an ounce of antioxidant-rich nutrients is lost or diluted any step along the way. From harvesting the finest ingredients to bottling the finished product, NingXia Red is the best tasting, most effective way to get all the free radical fighting power our bodies require.

A Chinese National Treasure
The wolfberry, a perennial plant (member of the solanacea family of plants), grows to a height of 3 to 5 feet. The fruit is very red, juicy, and oblong when ripe. Its health benefits have been known and used for thousands of years. The fruit contains 19 amino acids and over 20 trace minerals (including germanium, a mineral rarely found in food) The wolfberry has more protein than whole wheat. This alone sets the wolfberry apart as a major source of phyto-nutrients.
Considered a national treasure, the Ningxia Wolfberry is grown near inner Mongolia. This berry has been extolled in folk medicine for thousands of years. Translated from ancient texts, Shen Nung Ben Tsao (475 BC), stated "Wolfberry benefits range from replenishing vital health to fortifying and restoring vital organs." A physician's handbook from the Ming Dynasty stated, "Taking in Chinese wolfberry may regulate the flow of vital energy and strengthen the physique, which can lead to longevity.'' (Ref.1)
21 Reasons to drink NingXia Red daily
1. The Ningxia Wolfberry provides ample antioxidants to strengthen the immune system. Anti-oxidants permeate cell walls and attack free radicals before they damage the DNA of the cell nucleus.
2. Antioxidants of this berry fight arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis - aiding the circulatory system -- including the heart.
3. The Ningxia Wolfberry is powerful in helping the liver function properly. The liver is one of the most vital organs in the body--it's our cleansing machine.
4. Helps the eyes--cataracts, glaucoma, and visual acuity. This berry contains a complete array of antioxidant carotenoids including beta-carotene and
zeaxanthin. In fact the Ningxia Wolfberry has the highest source of carotenoids in all known foods. Beta-carotene is best known as a nutrient for the retina. (Ref.2)
5. Cancer Help. The main constituent of the wolfberry is Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharide (LBP), and according to studies in China, LBP helps cancer patients rebuild their white blood cell count, enhancing phagocytes and the activity of natural killer cells which bind to cancerous cells, as well as improving major classes of T-cells. "...increase the antibody reaction to the T cell-antigen." (Ref.3)
6. More Cancer Help. Acetone extract from the Ningxia Wolfberry inhibits gene mutation, Some scientists say the fruit is a good supplement to prevent liver cancer. (Ref.4) Also, studies show objective regression of cancer in patients with malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and others. Results also indicated LBP may be used as an adjuvant in the biotherapy of cancer. (Ref.5)
7. Minerals and vitamins act as enzymes and co-factors in the digestion process.
8. Studies on seniors in China produced amazing results (many people live beyond 100 years of age in wolfberry growing areas). Increases in Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) the hemoglobin were found in serum in all participants. In other words wolfberry ".......may help slow the aging process."
9. Protects against the free radical attack on mitochondrial DNA--our energy furnaces inside each cell. Antioxidants fight against mitochondrial destabilization.
10. Helps lower blood sugar--and in many tests at least stabilizes blood sugar.
11. It is important that cell walls maintain their malleability for nutrients to cross this membrane. The free radical scavengers found in the Ningxia Wolfberry strengthen the cell wall and support efficient transport of flavonoid nutrients in the cell and waste products out of the cell.
12. Strengthens the brains neuro-transmitters against pervasive fee radical activity, thus fighting against dementia and other forms of memory loss.
13. Promotes a sense of well-being, and has had noticeable results in tests and anxiety. The tissues of the body (including the brain) are assisted in avoiding oxidative stress.
14. Has a B-Vitamin complex essential to the body. In addition these vitamins are vital for converting food to energy.
15. Cells need to communicate, especially those in the brain and nervous system. The synaptic responses are protected and fortified by the same polyphenols (flavonoids) that this berry uses to protect itself.
16. Provides powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial action because it contains solavetivone (an amino acid). Properties in the food fight viruses---it's anti-viral.
17. Reduces pain caused by inflammation because the berry contains Beta-Sitosteral, a remarkable anti-inflammatory.
18. The Ningxia Wolfberry is high in protein (more than whole wheat), an essential cellular building block.
19. The Ningxia Wolfberry, unlike most berries, contains natural vitamin E--a restorative antioxidant with too many health benefits to list here.
20. A healthier romantic life. The wolfberry increases overall health performance, including sexual response. One herbalist wrote, "Wolfberry can make a young wolf out of an old man.''
21. This berry dubbed ''A complete body health motivator'' has many unique polysaccharides, not found in any plant on the planet.
