AIM CellStar Mix-n-Match (6pk)

CellStar antioxidants are measured by Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) - the gold standard test to measure antioxidants in foods. Mango Tango provides 1,250 ORAC units per serving, which puts it ahead of other noted antioxidant foods including cranberries and raspberries.

Plus, CellStar contains half the sugar of regular juice. This is achieved with the addition of Stevia rebaudiana, better known as stevia. While other juices are high in sugar and artificial sweeteners, Mango Tango contains only the natural sugars found in the fruits and stevia.

Stevia extract has zero calories, zero carbohydrates, and scores a zero on the glycemic index, which is a measurement of how quickly food will raise blood glucose levels. This ingredient is ideal for those with diabetes or hypo/ hyperglycemic who are trying to prevent rapid fluctuations in their blood glucose.

Mango puree is the primary ingredient in Mango Tango. The pulp of mango contains phytonutrients such as pigment antioxidants like quercetin, kaempferol, and catechins. Research has determined that there are up to 25 different carotenoids found in the mango pulp, the highest of which is beta-carotene. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that an assortment of only four different carotenoids boosted overall immune function by 37 percent in just 20 days.

Mango Tango has a pleasant, sweet taste, thanks to one of the most powerful and mysterious fruits in the formula: the mangosteen.

There are a number of scientific studies now in place to research the potential mangosteen benefits for humans. The majority of the research is centered on xanthones, which are phytonutrients that have been associated with benefits in intestinal and immune health along with the support of cartilage and joints.

Camu-camu contains more vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. Thanks in part to camu-camu, Mango Tango provides one- fourth of the daily value of vitamin C per serving. Used predominantly in Japan, camu-camu is gaining a reputation as an immune booster and a mood balancer. Dr. Gary Null, a nationally- known nutritionist, believes that camu-camu is one of the finest natural, holistic remedies for mood balancing.

Echinacea compliments camu-camu’s ability to help support a healthy immune system. A 2007 University of Connecticut study found that taking Echinacea cut the chances of catching a cold by more than half, and it can reduce the length of a cold by one-and-a-half days. According to German researchers, Echinacea appears to stimulate the immune tissue in the mouth upon ingestion. The researchers also found that maximum benefit came between three to six days after the first ingestion of Echinacea is taken. In addition, Echinacea stimulates white blood cells that help fight infection, aids in reducing redness, soreness, and other symptoms of infections, and shows mild antibiotic activity against Streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus.

Mango Tango contains the herbal extract hibiscus, which has been the focus of many recent studies. One such study found the hibiscus extract to cut the incidence of urinary tract infections by 77 percent. The double-blind study focused on 90 women between the ages of 18 and 55 with a history of at least eight urinary tract infections. It was found that the flavonoids and pro-anthocyanidins in hibiscus extract exert antimicrobial activity against bacteria like E. coli by preventing adherence to the bladder wall.
