Proprietary Super-Fruit/Antioxidant Blend.
This blend helps to provide antioxidant support and promotes a healthy heart and optimal blood pressure.
You may be wondering, why do we need antioxidants and why is it important to our health. Here is just a little overview of why you will benefit from antioxidants in your daily lives! Free radicals are substances that occur naturally in our bodies but attack the DNA in our cells which can cause different types of diseases and accelerate the aging process. Free radicals not only can be generated from our bodies, but we are exposed to many different free radicals in our everyday lives, from the food or air that we breathe. Antioxidants are molecules which can safely interact with free radicals and terminate these changes in our DNA before they cause vital molecules to be damaged. Therefore, decreasing your risk of certain diseases.... etc.
Think about going to your local grocery store or health store and going down the aisle of all natural herbal and health remedies. It can be very overwhelming... and when you add everything up, can be quite expensive. Well Shakeology helps to solve your problems! Below I'm going to go over all of the Superfruit/Antioxidants that people search for and pay lots of money to be able to add that into their diets daily. And with Shakeology, you can get a dose of these in just one glass a day! No pills necessary! You've probably heard of some of these popular super fruits because either celebrities or models help them to make them feel younger and have nicer skin. Again, antioxidants help to reverse the damage of these free radicals and helps to slow the aging process!! That's wonderful news!

Pomegranate
Native of Persia, it is nutrient dense and very rich in antioxidants.
Has been shown many amazing clinical results. A compound called punicalagin is found in this fruit, and it has been responsible for lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. It also helps to increase the speed of reversing atherosclerosis (what blocks the heart and causes a heart attack). (2. Aviram M, Rosenblat M, Gaitini D, et al. Pomegranate juice consumption for 3 years by patients with carotid artery stenosis reduces common carotid intima-media thickness, blood pressure and LDL oxidation. Clin Nutr 2004;23(3):423-33.) Studies have shown that when they had a clinical study of heart patients with severe carotid artery blockages, when given pomegranate juice each day for a year, not only did their blood pressures lower by over 12% but there was a 30% reduction in atherosclerotic plaque! This happened while the other patients who did not drink pomegranate juice, their atherosclerotic plaque increased by 9%.
