Nature's Sunshine has harvested the healthiest fruits and nutritional supplements from
around the world and combined them into one delicious, nutritious juice: Thai-Go. Thai-Go is replete with healthful bioflavonoids
and powerful antioxidants. If there is one drink you reach for in the morning, it should be Thai-Go.
Bioflavonoids are responsible for giving fruits and vegetables their bright colors. In
the body, bioflavonoids enhance vitamin C absorption and help maintain collagen and capillary walls. They also aid in the
body's defense system. In fact, rich in bioflavonoids, Thai-Go is 3.1 times stronger than its closest competitor in stimulating
the immune system.
Antioxidants scavenge the free radicals that the body accumulates free radicals as a byproduct
of energy production as well as through pollution, tobacco smoke, ultraviolet light and radiation. Free radical damage has
been linked to many common concerns from wrinkles to cancer and heart disease. Thai-Go delivers a punch of antioxidant protection.
The USDA recently suggested, "Eating plenty of high-ORAC fruits and vegetables-such as spinach and blueberries-may help slow
the processes associated with aging in both body and brain." Antioxi-dants also benefit virtually every organ and body system
because them mop up damaging free radicals. By comparison, spinach has an ORAC value of 1,260 while blueberries rate 2,400.
Thai-Go has an ORAC value of over 100,000.
Formulating Thai-Go
To formulate Tai-Go, NSP scientists drew from
Mother Nature's arsenal of antioxidant protectors. They carefully researched ingredients high in antioxidant activity and
selected the elite of all the available ingredients.
NSP used an analytical instrument to measure Oxygen Radical Absorbancy Capacity (ORAC),
or the power an individual ingredient has to neutralize free radicals. Using this instrument, NSP scientists measured many
combinations of ingredients before the final selection of a proprietary blend of eleven fruits and herbs that test high on
the ORAC scale.
NSP selected the most powerful fruits and herbs for Thai-Go. Meet the ingredients that
will protect you from free radical damage, build-up your immune system and provide extra energy:
Mangosteen is a tropical fruit found in eastern tropical islands, such
as Thailand. The Thais call it the " queen of fruits." Mangosteen is deliciously sweet with a slight hint of sourness. The
dried fruit and outer rind have been shipped and used medicinally for many years in China, India and Singapore. In addition
to antioxidants, mangosteen contains xanthones, compounds that offer immune and cardiovascular support. Xanthones have attracted
attention from scientists and researchers who are discovering that these compounds support the immune system, the structural
system, the digestive system, the brain and the skin. Mangosteen offers the greatest known supply of xanthones.
Wolfberry, sometimes called lycium, grows in China. For thousands of
years the fruit has been used to maintain good health and promote longevity. The fruit contains a wide variety of amino acids,
polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients, which enhance the immune system and protect against
DNA and cellular damage.
Sea Buckthorn is native to China and also grows in many European and
Asian countries. The nutrient rich berries are a supplemental source of vitamins A, C and E as well as super oxide mismutase
(powerful antioxidant), minerals, flavonoids, and amino acids. Sea buckthorn helps the body use oxygen efficiently and increases
overall energy.
Red Grapes, grape seeds and grape skins contain various compounds that
have been shown to boost cardiovascular health. Grapes are responsible for the phenomenon called the French Paradox. The French
diet is often high in fat, but the French have a lower incidence of heart disease. The lower rate of heart disease is in part
attributed to frequent consumption 0f red wines. Red and purple grapes naturally contain heart- protecting compounds, such
as anthocyanins, procyanidins, quercitin and resveratrol.
Raspberries have strong antioxidant abilities from compounds they contain
called anthocyanins.
Blueberries are part of the superfoods "dream team," according to a SELF
magazine survey. The survey asked a panel of nutritional experts to vote for 12 must-have foods. Blueberries were voted "best
fruit" because they give the body more energy for fewer calories. Blueberries are near the top of the list for antioxidant
power.
Applephenon, a concentrate juice from immature apples, contain heart-protecting
phenols, similar to grapes.
Decaffeinated Green tea is a traditional herb lauded by the Japanese
for increasing longevity. Green tea offers antioxidant protection against disease by guarding cells from chromosomal damage
and reducing free radical generation.
