Mangosteen 500ml

Purified water

Purified water is drinking water treated by reverse osmosis (transformation of salt or saline water into drinking water) or distillation, without minerals in its composition. Because it is filtered and potable water, it is free of undesirable substances such as parasites, chlorine, fluoride or dioxins. The benefits of its consumption are help in bowel regulation, skin rejuvenation, hydration of nails and hair and reduction of hypertension along with improvement of blood circulation.

Mangosteen

The mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a reddish-brown tropical fruit from the rainforests of Southwest Asia also known as the “queen of fruits” for being one of the most antioxidant-rich foods and for its enormous capacity to absorb free radicals (30 times greater than most fruits and vegetables). It has three main parts: the hard skin, the edible pulp (mild fragrance and sweet flavor) and the seeds (bitter and inedible). The round fruit, with thick purple skin and slightly sweet flavor, is rich in vitamins A, B12, C and E, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, sodium and zinc. This fruit, unknown until recently, is now highly sought after to combat low immunity and contribute to the maintenance of health.

Carrot

A source of carotenoids, potassium, fiber and antioxidants, the carrot is a root full of benefits for the body. Beta-carotene present in carrots is a provitamin A responsible for the orange color that contributes to the good condition of the skin and mucous membranes. It helps to prevent premature aging, improve the immune system, prevent some types of cancer, and the best known of its benefits is undoubtedly the improvement of visual health. In addition to all these benefits for our health, the consumption of carrots helps to improve digestion, protect against cardiovascular diseases, regulate the acidity of the body, reduce weight and maintain your tan while taking care of your skin.

Pau D’Arco

Pau D’Arco is a plant with antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. It is useful for fighting various bacteria, viruses and fungi, helping to reduce inflammation and strengthening the immune system. It is a plant that has been widely studied for its possible carcinogenic properties (it reduces the size of tumors and destroys cancer cells).

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for the formation of collagen, which is essential for the normal functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth. It plays an important role in eliminating free radicals and increasing energy levels. By increasing the absorption of iron in food, it contributes to the prevention of low hemoglobin levels. Iron levels in our body are crucial for energy levels. More iron absorption means more energy, less tiredness and less fatigue. Vitamin C intake is not directly related to fighting anemia, but increasing the body’s absorption of iron helps, as most cases of anemia are caused by iron deficiency. When we talk about vitamin C, we cannot forget its importance for the functioning of the nervous system. With its antioxidant action, it prevents brain damage and aging by eliminating free radicals naturally produced by cellular metabolism and the neuronal energy consumption system. Vitamin C can also be an important ally in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases, since it is the production of free radicals that causes neuronal degeneration.

Xanthan gum

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide widely used in food products that helps ingredients mix effectively. It is also used to treat constipation and regulate cholesterol levels.

Potassium sorbate

Potassium sorbate or potassium salt of sorbic acid acts as a food preservative, mild, highly effective and safe fungicide and bactericide that does not alter the taste of food. It is the salt resulting from the reaction of sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide, once diluted it releases sorbic acid. Sorbates retard and prevent the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and fungi by reducing water and increasing acidity, and preserve the flavor, color, texture and nutritional value of the foods to which they are added.

Sodium benzonate

Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid and functions as a food preservative. With antifungal properties, it protects food against the invasion of fungi that can cause disease. Sodium benzoate balances the pH level of food and increases the total acidity of food. By lowering the pH, sodium benzoate creates a barrier where fungi cannot grow and spread.

Sucralose

Sucralose is the only sweetener obtained from sugar cane that has the taste of sugar without the bitter residue and without calories. Its molecule is 600 times sweeter than sugar and is fat soluble. It does not accumulate in fatty tissues, does not cross the placenta, is not present in breast milk, since its elimination occurs in the first hours after consumption and in 13 hours it is excreted by the body intact. Studies affirm that sucralose is non-toxic, does not cause cancer, does not affect the immune system, does not affect the central nervous system, does not alter blood glucose and, therefore, can be consumed by anyone, including diabetics, pregnant women, children and the elderly. In addition, sucralose behaves well at high temperatures, being an alternative for the preparation of desserts.

Beta-carotene

Beta-carotene is a substance responsible for the pigmentation of many fruits and vegetables, also known as carotenoid. When ingested, this nutrient can be converted into vitamin A or function as an antioxidant to help protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. 50% of the vitamin A present in our body comes from the intake of beta-carotene, which is why it is called “provitamin A”, i.e., it is a precursor of vitamin A production in the body. In addition to the color it brings to some foods, it is also very important for the health of our body, especially the skin, as it is an antioxidant and precursor of vitamin A, which helps to preserve collagen, increasing skin elasticity. Its consumption also brings benefits to bones, vision and immunity of our organism.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a substance that is present in all the cells of our body, helping in the production of energy. It has the effect of capturing the free radicals generated by our organism that are responsible for the aging processes. In addition to being produced by the body, it can also be found in foods such as avocados, peanuts, spinach, oranges and many others. Its main benefits are the control of cholesterol, the reduction of free radicals, its antioxidant action and an improvement in the symptoms of depression in people with bipolar disorder. Coenzyme Q10 is a great supplement for those suffering from cardiovascular problems, as it is present in the movement of muscle contraction and relaxation.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin found in foods such as eggs, carrots and pumpkin. It is found in two forms: retinol or carotenoids. Retinol is called the “true vitamin A” because it is in a form that is practically ready to be used by the body. Carotenoids are compounds that give orange or yellow color to various vegetables and fruits. The best known and most abundant is beta-carotene. In addition to being an essential vitamin for vision, it strengthens the immune system, regulates cell growth and division and contributes to the maintenance of healthy skin, teeth, bone tissue and mucous membranes. Beta-carotene (carotenoid) acts as an antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage.

Selenium

Selenium is a micronutrient with several functions in the body and is one of the 26 essential elements for the development of living organisms. The concentration of selenium in the body is influenced by the environment and food. Skeletal muscle is the main storage site for this micronutrient and accounts for about 28-46% of the selenium in the body, and it can also be found in the liver, kidneys and heart. This micronutrient contributes to normal spermatogenesis, maintenance of hair and nails, normal functioning of the immune system, normal thyroid function and protection of cells against undesirable oxidation.
