I just came yesterday from a product and strategic plan presentation of Acai Berry Juice distribution in the Philippines and was wondering about the claims made as to efficacy, active components that re beneficial to the drinkers/users.  At P1,800  per 500 ml container, the Acai Berry whose contents are made and exported from USA, and whose berries come from South America, are not cheap.  And yet the Noni juice contents seem to be similar with Acai berry and would be cheaper since Noni trees abound in the Philippines.  I came across a professor who from Los Banos, from UP formerly from FAO who manufactures and markets Noni Juice and other variants here and abroad.  Acai berry targets the health conscious AB and emerging C (middle class) Primary Target Market and employs premium pricing

Noni juice is more competitive and higher phytonutrients

The Noni juice looks like a value for money and would help the  local industries/Filipinos more.   But the Acai Berry is a P140 million business.

From immunehealth - mango, strawberry and grapes have higher anti oxidant content that Acai berry

 And yet these fruits have higher anti oxidants than acai berry:   mango, strawberry and grapes.    Why spend more

MX 3 which comes in various format and in affordable packages  like tea and tablets.   Acai Berry is in tablet and liquid form.

What are  they supposed to be good for:   1.  Increased energy   2. Increased circulations (as there is less inflammation of the blood vessels.  3.  Vs cancer since they are contain anti oxidants   4. For strengthening the immune system

I was warned by my family physician that a mangosteen extract capsules which retail for P20+ is absolutely worthless.  No effect at all for any symptoms, even for more energy and better sleep as claimed by a fellow senior citizen.  I tried it when I had painful eye infection and the Dr. was right.

The products which are marketed in processed form lose their high potency in fresh form, as the phytonutrients lose their potency as their molecules are processed.   Thus being organic and natural becomes a false claim.

We buy because of huge adspend and the spin

Benefits of Wheat Grass

Newsfeed from Newsmax health

Dear Newsmax Reader: Please find below a special message from our sponsoring advertiser, Underground Health Reporter. They have some important information to share with you. Thank you. Newsmax.com Does Wheatgrass Turn Gray Hair Back to Its Natural Color? Dear Newsmax Reader, ray hair: The ultimate telltale sign of aging.  Approximately half of all 50-year-olds are at least 50% gray.  Try as you may to postpone the inevitable with expensive, foul-smelling and messy dyes, the battle against gray is predictable... gray is pretty much the undefeated champion.  Or is it?      Regular consumption of the young grass of a common wheat plant can recolor those grays so that you can enjoy your lush, natural color well into your senior years.  And it doesn't just stop at the gray.  This young cereal grass slows down the entire aging process by rejuvenating your cells, detoxifying your body, fighting tumors and tightening loose and sagging skin. Gray Isn't Just a Sign of Age The age-old healing system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) links hair pigmentation to the quality of your blood and the strength of your kidneys.  According to TCM, gray doesn't mean old as much as it points to weak kidneys and blood.      Made up of 70% chlorophyll, wheatgrass, from the wheat plant triticum aestivum, restores the health of your kidneys and blood .      Chlorophyll helps to strengthen, build and oxygenate the blood.  It is remarkably similar to hemoglobin, a compound that carries oxygen to the blood.  Once consumed, chlorophyll is transformed into blood.  It then transports nutrients, such as oxygen, to your cells, tissues and organs, rejuvenating, protecting and strengthening.      Renowned nutritionist, Dr. Bernard Jenson, discovered that wheatgrass and other green juices high in chlorophyll are nature's best blood builders.  In his book Health Magic Through Chlorophyll From Living Plant Life, he cites several cases in which he was able to boost red blood cell count in a matter of days simply by having patients soak in a chlorophyll-water bath.  Consuming wheatgrass and other green juices regularly has been proven to boost red blood cell count even more rapidly. Beyond Beautification and into Total Body Health Wheatgrass is made up of an impressive array of nutrients that reinforce and rejuvenate everything from our cells and tissues to our organs and bodily systems.  In addition to its 70% chlorophyll makeup, wheatgrass contains 17 essential amino acids, 90 minerals, 13 vitamins and 80 enzymes.  Prominent research scientist Dr. Earp-Thomas says that,"15 pounds of wheatgrass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrots, lettuce, celery and so forth."      Wheatgrass delivers an impenetrable line of defense against disease.  An all-natural and powerful detoxifier, wheatgrass protects the liver and purifies the blood by neutralizing toxic substances such as cadmium, nicotine, strontium, mercury and polyvinyl chloride.      Detoxifying is the first step.  From there, wheatgrass takes the offensive as a proven anti-cancer agent that stops tumors in their tracks.      Fact: Cancer cells cannot develop in oxygen rich environments!      Wheatgrass is an abundant source of liquid oxygen.  Boosting the production of red blood cells and increasing oxygen in the blood helps fight cancer cells because cancer cannot survive in such alkaline rich environments.      A recent study published in the journal Mutation Research pitted chlorophyll against beta-carotene and vitamins A, C and E. Chlorophyll had a greater anti-cancer effect than all the other nutrients.  Wheatgrass truly is total body nutrition in one gulp! Why Has This Proven Anti-Aging Cure Been Hushed Up?

Judging from its nutraceutical content, it is far superior than even the latest craze:  barley.

Her study shows that Moringa leaves, per l00 gm of edible portion:  (this is where the Clark entrep students got their stats on their moringa candies) (vs carrots

      Vitamin A:  6789 mcg                                      Carrots: 1890 mcg          3x more
