Bioactive Beverages
A food (including beverages) is recognized as bioactive if the human body can digest it and use it not merely to fulfill basic nutritional needs but also brings about physiological benefits that really improve a person’s health. Major sources of bioactive food ingredients are found in fruits and vegetables.
A Bioactive Beverage makes use of these types of phytonutients in a fruit juice form for beneficial effects. Research has shown that not all bioactive drinks are exactly the same. A number of well known juices that are produced from acai, gac or mangosteen fruit, among others, contain carotenoids and flavonoids. Though healthful, flavonoids and betacarotene quickly degrade once they come in contact with heat and light. As an example it was determined that after 30 days storage at room temperature the acai fruit pulp’s flavonoids lose up to 35% of their stability and 80% following four months.
One bioactive beverage that retains its efficiency is Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages. Years of research has shown that the noni fruit, particularly those grown in the French Polynesian Islands have several unique bioactive compounds. These bioactive compounds are very soluble allowing them to very easily travel throughout the body through the bloodstream where they are utilized by cells. Altogether, Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages include 12 unique nutrients classified as iridoids that are a key component in its resulting health benefits. Fourteen Human clinical trials testing Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages have already been done in these subject areas: Immune Function, Energy and Endurance, Cardiovascular Health, Joint Health, Antioxidant Protection
As indicated at the bottom of our web pages about Tahitian Noni® Juice along with the new Tahitian Noni® Extra™ Bioactive Beverages and specificaly this article has not been evaluated by the US FDA and these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
