anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, and other fatty acids. Studies have
shown that acai has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and apoptic (pro-
grammed cell death). effects A study published in the Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry, showed extracts of Acai berries trig-
gered apostisis in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested.
Mangosteen (Garcinia magostana) is a plant native to Southeast
Asia. Studies reveal that xanthones from the fruit hulls of mangos-
teen have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti?inflammato-
ry properties. In one study mangosteen’s xanthones significantly
inhibited the growth of leukemia cells. One xanthone in particular,
alpha?mangostin, showed complete inhibition of leukemia cells
through the induction of apoptosis (programmed cell death). Other
studies indicate xanthones from mangosteen inhibit the activities of
COX?1 and COX?2 enzymes, prevent oxidative damage of LDL cho-
lesterol, have cytotoxic effects on liver cancer cells, and are antipro-
liferative, antioxidative, and apoptic against breast cancer cells.
Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum) polysaccharides exhibit anti-tumor,
immune enhancing and liver-protective properties. Studies suggest
that Goji polysacharides have positive effects when used with con-
ventional cancer treatments. A 1994 study done in China on
patients with a variety of cancers revealed that patients who were
given Goji Berry polysaccharides along with their conventional can-
cer treatment had a 40.9 percent response rate to the treatment,
while patients who received conventional treatment without the Goji
Berry supplement had only a 16.1 percent response rate.
Additionally the Goji Berry supplemented patients experienced
longer remissions and had a significant increase in natural killer cell
activity. Goji berries contain high levels of Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid
necessary for healthy vision that is present in high amounts in the
macula of the human eye. The Zeaxanthin in Goji berries is a natu-
rally esterifed zeaxanthin which has been proven to cause a higher
increase in plasma levels than the non-esterified form contained in
many supplements. Researchers have concluded that Goji is one of
the best antioxidants to promote healthy aging.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) contains thousands of phytochem-
icals including anthocyananins, ellagic acid derivatives, catechins and
procyandins, flavonols, fatty acids and sterols. Human studies show
that pomegranate polyphenols and their metabolites offer protection
against various diseases. Pomegranate increases nitric oxide produc-
tion in the endothelial cells of the vascular system protecting against
cardiovascular disease. Studies show consumption of the juice bene-
fits patients with carotid artery stenosis, those with hypertension, and
those with coronary heart disease. Pomegranate has been heavily
studied in the treatment of prostate cancer. In one study when men
with aggressive prostate cancer were given pomegranate juice daily
after treatment by surgery or radiation, there was over a four-fold
prolonged delay in prostate specific antigen (PSA) doubling time,
and the rate of PSA rise was reduced by 50% over the course of just
one year. Numerous other studies demonstrate pomegranate inhibits
inflammation, slows cartilage loss in arthritis, improves sperm health,
and increases the overall antioxidant capacity of the blood.

powerful plant-derived (phyto) antioxidants. Most health problems

Heart Health
The value of various nutrients and nutritional
supplements continues to be supported by
continuing research. What follows is a series
of recent studies showing the value of nutri-
ents in heart health.
Nutrients Improve Cholesterol
Levels
Probiotics reduced LDL
Many people are aware that high levels of
LDL, the “bad” cholesterol, raise chances for
heart problems, but far fewer know that a
healthy gut—the stomach and intestines—
also plays an important role in maintaining
heart health. Doctors in this study reviewed
26 clinical trials and two large analyses on
the effects of probiotics on LDL. Of all probi-
otic strains, L. reuteri lowered LDL and total
cholesterol most, and reduced signs of
inflammation significantly.
Participants who took L. reuteri twice per
day for nine weeks had levels of LDL choles-
terol 11.6 percent lower than placebo.
Discussing their findings, doctors said that
people know probiotics for digestive health
but do not think of probiotics for heart
health, adding, “It’s time to recognize probi-
otics’ role as a simple and natural tool to
manage cholesterol,” and recommend peo-
ple add probiotics to their diet and exercise
program to manage heart health.

Grape extract raised
good cholesterol
HDL—the “good” cholesterol—
helps protect against heart and cir-
culatory problems. In this study, 24
men and women who were over-
weight, pre-diabetic, or had elevat-
ed blood pressure, took a placebo
or 350 mg of whole grape extract per day.
After six weeks, those in the whole grape
extract group had much higher levels of HDL
compared to placebo, and signs of oxidative
stress and oxidized LDL decreased signifi-
cantly for the whole grape group while
increasing for placebo. Oxidized LDL is pro-
inflammatory and plays a role in vascular dis-
ease.
Whole grape extract contains concentra-
tions of powerful antioxidants called proan-
thocyanidins, including catechin, epicatechin,
and epicatechin-3-O-gallate. Doctors said
the findings are important for people such as
those in the study with greater chances of
heart and circulatory problems, and that rais-
