Healthy Mind & Body

For most people, staying or getting into shape could be a labor of love; however, most people don’t love to exercise and diet. But what many people don’t know is that diet and exercise doesn’t have to be all that difficult. Did you know that by dusting off those sneakers and taking a nice jog or walk, you’re not only keeping your heart healthy, but also your mind? “Research shows that aerobic exercise increases the generation of new cells in the memory areas of the brain. To boost your brain, you only need 15 minutes three times a week.”  The number one way to keep that brain of yours in tip top shape is to get enough sleep. You need at the least 8 hours of a good night’s sleep to keep your memory from short circuiting. Another way to ensure a healthy mind and body is to eat right. Did you know that by getting a daily serving of your healthy omegas, antioxidants and amino acids, that you are not only boosting energy naturally, but you’re also giving your brain a boost as well?  It’s true!  

Pills vs. Liquid Formulas

Liquid formulas like Viva!Acai™ provide greater absorption and bioavailability than pills or capsules. Pills or capsules have binders or "fillers" and coatings that make them less bioavailable and absorbable. Clinical evidence indicates absorption and bioavailability of pills or capsules is about 15-20%. Liquid formulas on the other hand provide between 80-85%.

POMEGRANATE – BENEFITS THAT HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH IT

* reduction of oxidative stress
* a source of Vitamin B-5 (an essential vitamin, Pantothenic Acid)
* improved cellular respiration
* a source of Potassium for enhanced electrolyte and fluid balance
* improved muscle contraction and nerve impulses
* lower systolic blood pressure
* cardiovascular benefits

What makes Viva! Acai ™such an exciting product?
The answer is simple. Consumers today are becoming more and more health conscious and Viva! Acai™ delivers a powerful and low-cost Acai plus Pomegranate in liquid form. Just ¼ oz. a day is all you need to get the most powerful combination of these incredible superfruits and the health benefits associated with them.
You may or may not know that Acai plus Pomegranate are the two most powerful superfruits in the world. Brought together into one formula, they provide you with amazing antioxidant power and more. When you view the top four antioxidants in the world, you begin to understand why Viva! Acai™ provides both ingredients.
1. Acai
2. Pomegranate
3. Green tea
4. Water
Is Viva! Acai™ an anti-aging product? I have heard that it is.
I think it is fair to say that Acai is an anti-aging product. Acai has rapidly gained a reputation in that field and the experts seem to agree.
How long does it take for Viva! Acai™ to start working?

That depends on what you are looking for. In terms of having more energy, you should see results within 7-10 days. As to other health aspects of the product, it depends.
What is the difference between a superfood and a superfruit? I haveheard the term superfood used to describe Acai and Pomegranate.

There is no difference. It is just a descriptive term and for simplicity sake, we call Acai and Pomegranate superfruits. Of course, they are both superfoods.
How many antioxidants are found in Acai? And how about the number of antioxidants that are found in Pomegranate?

Acai and Pomegranate contain an incredible antioxidant capacity and that is one    of the principal reasons that they are called superfruits. There are several different methods of assessing antioxidant content and in testing, you will find that Acai comes out #1 and Pomegranate #2. That is why we formulated Viva! Acai™ with both of these superfruits. The best current measurement of antioxidant capacity is found in the ORAC value of Viva!Acai™. 

How well is Acai and Pomegranate absorbed into my body?

As industry leaders in the liquid Glucosamine industry, the makers of Syn-flex® liquid Glucosamine products have a great deal of experience in both bioavailability and absorption. Random testing of pills and capsules in products sold over-the-counter generally demonstrates that most products in those forms have too many binders and fillers in them. This means two things to you.

If you are taking an Acai or Pomegranate product in pill or capsule form(s), you may or may not be getting what the label promised in terms of dosage. Also, binders and fillers interfere with absorption and bioavailability.

When you are talking about the ingestion of polyphenols (Acai and Pomegranate) the clinical studies (both in vitro and in vivo) indicate that the ellagic acid in pomegranate is highly bioavailable in liquid form in a product such as Viva! Acai™. Overall, it has a very high absorption factor so you get the best possible delivery system from this product.
Why are there so many more clinical studies of Pomegranate than Acai?

Although Acai is now the #1 ranked superfruit that finding is fairly recent when compared to Pomegranate (#2). In fact, since 2000, there has been a huge amount of interest and clinical studies of Pomegranate because the Pomegranate fruit is a phytochemical reservoir of health benefits. The Acai studies are finding much the same thing.
The medicinal value of these two superfruits is here to stay given their long and rich history and more researchers will be making authoritative findings for their medical use. For your convenience, we have attached many of the clinical studies for your review.
What does Viva! Acai™ do for me?
Your body is in a constant battle against free radicals, which are very destructive to your health. And unfortunately, your body cannot produce enough antioxidants to fight back. Viva!Acai™ provides you with a very powerful array of antioxidants. It is what we call a smart product from a health standpoint.

Effectively fighting free radicals provides your body with a host of health benefits. You can read about some of the benefits that have been associated with using Acai and Pomegranate at www.best-acai.org. It is also interesting to review the long history of clinical studies which are attached to that website.

It is worth mentioning one point. Acai and Pomegranate are fruits and, in fact, superfruits. I think it is excellent news that clinical studies have been done on Acai and Pomegranate and it is certain that more clinical studies will be done. It gives you greater confidence in the health benefits conferred by Acai and Pomegranate. However, simple common sense tells us that fruit is good for us and for that reason, superfruits (as a category) provide even greater health benefits.

This is what we call inferred proof. We all know that fruit is healthy for us. Superfruits like Acai and Pomegranate bring an even higher health benefit to us. Direct proof is found in authoritative clinical studies.
The list of potential health benefits is a long one. Clinical studies of Acai and         Pomegranate have been associated with (among other things):
Providing anti-aging benefits
Anti-inflammatory properties.
Lowering (bad) cholesterol (LDL)
Regeneration of damaged cartilage
Increased energy
Fighting dental plaque and viruses
And¸much more.*

I noticed that Viva! Acai™ contains Vitamin B12. Is there a reason why it was included in the formula?
Your body cannot manufacture Vitamin B12. In other words, it is an essential vitamin. Unfortunately, if your body has a deficiency of Vitamin B12, it can cause some serious health issues. Vitamin B12 maintains healthy cellular structures in your body, it carries oxygen to cells and removes carbon dioxide from your entire body, it builds DNA, and it assists in the maintenance of healthy nerve cells.

It also enjoys a reputation as an energy-builder, which of course makes it a perfect formula combination with Acai.
I love Viva! Acai™ but wanted to understand what role Vitamin B12 plays here? I am 60 years old.
You can read the answers to the questions above, but let me add one more point. You said that you are 60 years old, so some comments about Vitamin B12 are in order here.
As you age, you have the potential to lose the ability to properly absorb Vitamin B12. So there is a correlation between aging and Vitamin B12 deficiency. The explanation can be simply this.
Hydrochloric acid assists your body in releasing Vitamin B12 from the protein found in foods. This is essential to it being absorbed into your intestines. However, it is estimated that thirty percent (30%) of adults over age fifty (50) may have atrophic gastritis (an inflammation of the stomach which decreases gastric juices including hydrochloric acid).
The good news is that Vitamin B12 in supplement form (such as that found in Viva!Acai™) can be absorbed into your body. 
I am a 25 year old athlete and taking Viva! Acai™. It is a great product and it seems to be giving an extra jump in my training. Where is all this energy coming from?
There is no doubt that Viva! Acai™ gives you more energy. The local surfers in Brazil were among the first athletes to discover the boost that Acai gives them as competitors and of course, the word spread quickly after that.
Adding Vitamin B12 is an extra bonus even for younger people. In one study that was conducted, it was found that of three age groups - 26-49 years, 50+ years, and 65 years and older - the Vitamin B12 deficiencies in all groups were about equal. The interesting footnote to this is that those who were not taking Vitamin B12 supplements were twice as likely to be deficient.
It goes without saying that those who do not consume sufficient protein (like vegetarians) must take Vitamin B12 in supplement form.
I know a lot about Acai and Pomegranate and the health benefits that have been associated with using both, and I am learning more about Vitamin B12.What is considered to be a sufficient amount of Vitamin B12?
This is an interesting question. The U.S. Government had conducted studies that have apparently become a little outdated. The newer research indicates that the RDA should be raised.
For example, the guidelines for Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) were based on studies conducted in the late 1980’s and early
