Blueberries ~ High In Antioxidants

Blueberries Protect Against Colon Cancer

Laboratory studies published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry show that phenolic compounds in blueberries can inhibit colon cancer cell proliferation and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death). Click here to read more about the study.

Extracts were made of the blueberry phenols, which were freeze-dried and further separated into phenolic acids, tannins, flavonols, and anthocyanins. Then the dried extracts and fractions were added to cell cultures containing two colon cancer cell lines, HT-29 and Caco-2.

In concentrations normally found in laboratory animal plasma after eating blueberries, anthyocyanin fractions increased DNA fragmentation (a sign that apoptosis or cell death had been triggered) by 2-7 times. Flavonol and tannin fractions cut cell proliferation in half at concentrations of 70-100 and 50-100 microg/mL, while the phenolic fraction was also effective, but less potent, reducing proliferation by half at concentrations of 1000 microg/mL. ~Bottomline: eating blueberries may reduce colon cancer risk.

What ingredients are formulated to create Jús antioxidant drink?

Jús
antioxidant drink contains blueberries, as well as 22 other berries, fruits and immune-boosting herbs.
There are 23 herbs and berries in Jús: açai, apple concentrate, acerola, aronia berry, lycium/ wolfberry, noni, pomegranate, sea buckthorn, aloe vera juice, mangosteen juice, grape seed extract, grape skin extract, wild blueberry extract, raspberry seed extract, cranberry extract, tart cherry extract, wild bilberry extract, strawberry extract, prune extract, Reishi mushroom, green tea, white tea and ginseng.

Jús is not a random combination of fruits and herbs,
 
but is quite simply the most unique well-researched and engineered formulation of natural ingredients 

available.

When it comes to nutrition, it’s the natural phytonutrients and living enzymes in fruit that matter.

Heat compression and freeze dried based products are less expensive to produce but remove many 

of the critical bio-available nutrients found in fruits on the vine. Jús utilizes cold compressed 

ingredients in the optimum blend of purees, extracts and juices to balance your body’s systems and 

naturally activate optimal cellular activity.
