Exotic Juice Study The Shocking Truth

By Dr. William Wong

We are putting the exotic juices on the market to the test. We hired Brunswick Laps, who is a well known independent laboratory to do the tests on all of these exotic juices on the market.

It seems like there are hundreds of companies trying to market the latest magic juice. These juices, many of which are sourced from obscure locations in the Pacific, Asia, or the Amazon often come with alluring tales of miracle cures and healing properties. With few exceptions, these juices claim to be the most powerful antioxidants available. Some claim to have antioxidant super power. So we decided to put these so-called magic juices to the test. We asked Brunswick Labs, a well known independent laboratory, to conduct scientific tests on the magic juices.

We even added Welches Grape juice to the test. Before we get down to business lets first look into some of the crazy claims these popular juices make:

MonaVie claims that the acai berry used in their juice is one of the worlds top super foods and is rich in antioxidants. Theres a big difference, however, in the level of antioxidants found in the acai berry and the lesser amount actually shown in a serving of their juice.

Xango claims that its mangosteen from Southeast Asia is extremely potent in antioxidants. Kyani who uses a berry from Alaska claims they are unmatched in antioxidants. All while FreeLife wants you to drink their GoChi juice and claims it will knock out free radicals.

The FRAP examination showed that grape juice had more antioxidants per serving than all but two of the magic juices.

Here are the results from the ORAC and FRAP tests: The first score is the ORAC score followed by the FRAP. Welchs Grape Juice scored 2734 and 245, while Mona Vie came in at 2220 and 1572. Pharmanexs G3 product reported 1658 and 2648 and Xango scored one of the lowest at 947 and 761. FreeLifes Gochi 888 and 641 with Kyani Sunrise scored a 769 in ORAC and a 1271. Exfuze, who uses extracts from fruits around the world, had one of the lowest scores at 400 and 174.

Why is this so significant? These magic juices are not a very good antioxidant value for your dollar spent. A daily average serving of MonaVie Acai juice, for example, costs about $4.60 regular price, while an eight-ounce serving of WelchsGrape Juice costs about $.50. And, according to the ORAC and FRAP tests, grape juice provides more antioxidants to protect against free radicals than MonaVie Acai Juice.

A real business opportunity is really only as good as the product and the value that the product gives consumers. Are these exotic juices really a good source to get antioxidants?

So how do you capture the raw essence and power of these nutrients? Eat them fresh from the source or by proprietary freeze dried processes to stabilize the nutrients for consumption later. One company, Yoli has partnered with an inventor using blast cap technology that seals the nutrients until they are ready to be consumed. These blast caps can be placed on top of a bottle, simply press them and out come the nutrients.

What do these blast caps cost? Ten times less then these magic juices on the market and are shown to have far more active ingredients as they are not pasteurized and sitting in water where the nutrients parish. - 30414
