What is a Bioactive Beverage?
Bioactive Beverages have become a topic of great
interest lately. The question that most people ask is what causes something to be
bioactive and what is the importance of Bioactive Beverages?
What makes a Food Bioactive?
A food (including beverages) is considered bioactive when the body can easily absorb
it and use it not simply to satisfy basic nutritional needs but to provide physiological
benefits to better an individual's health. Important sources of bioactive food
components are found in fruits and vegetables which we all eat every day. For instance
soy contains isoflavones and estrogens, and tomatoes contiains lycopene.
Bioactive
Beverages makes use of these kinds of phytonutients in a fruit juice
form to provide beneficial results. Studies have shown that not every fruit drink
is the same. A few popular juices that are made from acai, gac or mangosteen fruit,
amongst others, contain carotenoids and flavonoids. Despite the fact that they are
healthful, flavonoids and betacarotene rapidly degrade once they come in contact
with heat and light. For instance it has been discovered that after 30 days storage
at room temperature flavonoids in the acai fruit’s pulp lose up to 35% of their
stability and 80% after four months..
Tahitian Noni Quality Guaranteed
Quality Control is an important part of making TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice or as it is now known Tahitian Noni® Original™.
To ensure quality only trained and certified local harvesters are employed to pick
the ripe noni fruit. Tahitian Noni International
employs and certifies thousands of families from the Tahitian Islands to harvest,
wash and ship the raw fruit to their plants. Thirty-five percent of the fruit harvest
is picked from noni fruit orchards, and the other 65% is harvested from wild trees
in the Tahitian Islands. Each bottle or Quad of Tahitian Noni®
Bioactive Beverage can be tracked from the harvesting of the fruit in
the bottle to its final shipment to the customer.
Tahitian Noni® Original™ - a true Bioactive Beverage
One bioactive beverage that will maintain its effectiveness
over long periods of time is
Tahitian Noni® Original™ and its other four varieties;
Tahitian Noni® Extra™, Tahitian Noni® Family™,
Tahitian Noni® Pure™ and
Tahitian Noni® n-Core™. Years of studies have proven that the
noni fruit, particularly those grown in the French Polynesian Islands contain a
wide array of unique bioactive compounds and our noni juice products are made only
from these fruits. Most of these bioactive compounds are extremely soluble enabling
them to easily travel throughout the body through the bloodstream where they are
absorbed by cells. The main bioactive elements in noni are called iridoids. Iridoids
are found in medicinal plants and scientific study indicates that they enhance the
immune system, promote heart health, give protection to cells, maintain healthy
HDL cholesterol* at currently normal levels*, boost energy
and endurance, and lower free radicals.
Adaptogens and Iridoids
Iridoids are not often
present in fruits, which make the noni fruit exceptional and giving it an edge when
made into juice. The iridoids in Tahitian Noni® Bioactive
Beverages are stable and resistant to degradation in storage and during
processing. The very same exposure to heat, light and oxygen which caused the potency
in other fruit juices to immediately degrade was used to test the iridoids in the
Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages. The result
was that the iridoids preserve their chemical composition and their potency in all
of these processes including pasteurization. The testing also demonstrate that the
iridoids were still active even nine years beyond the bottle’s expiration date gives
confidence of the potency of the juice and the ensuing benefits to the body.
The fascinating fact about iridoids is that they are produced in plants as a natural
defense against their surrounding environment relieving the stress of the plant.
Noni has been shown to give support against a wide range of physical and biological
stressors. Furthermore noni does this while not creating toxic side effects. A well
recognized instance of precisely how iridoids in Tahitian Noni®
Original™ function is seen in horses before and during competitions.
Owners and trainers agree that horses given Tahitian Noni®
Original in their feed before travelling to and throughout competitions
were much less stressed from the variations of their surroundings and challenges
of the competition.
Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages
Altogether, Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages
include 12 unique nutrients classified as iridoids which are a key component in
benefitting health. Fourteen Human clinical trials testing Tahitian
Noni® Bioactive Beverages have already been done in these subject
areas:
- Immune Function
- Energy and Endurance
- Cardiovascular Health
- Joint Health
- Antioxidant Protection
The breakthrough discovery that Tahitian Noni® Original™
is made from the fruit of the bioactive-rich, adaptogenic plant, that contains iridoid compounds produces the health benefits
that individuals have been experiencing for decades. Tahitian
Noni® Bioactive Beverages is genuinely a real bioactive beverage.
