They also contain high levels of the powerful antioxidant d-limonene, which is an important marker for bioactivity. Bioactives are natural compounds that work in harmony with your body to promote the healthy function of a wide variety of systems. • Tangerine essential oil, prized for its effect on maintaining cholesterol levels already in the normal range. • Exotic yuzu essential oil has been included for its uniquely delicious aroma, flavor, and high antioxidant content.

5. Wolfberry (Goji) SuperfruitWolfberry Puree (Lyciumbarbarum) The wolfberries sourced for NingXia Red hail from the Ningxia province in northern China. This superfruit has one of the highest percentages of fiber of any whole food and contains zeaxanthin—a carotenoid important to maintaining healthy vision. It also contains polysaccharides, amino acids, and symbiotic vitamin mineral pairs that when present together promote optimum internal absorption. By using whole wolfberry puree—juice, peel, seeds, and fruit—Young Living is able to maintain more of the desired health-supporting benefits in every bottle of NingXia Red.

Additionally blueberry, plum, aronia, cherry, and pomegranate juice contains naturally high levels of anthocyanins and polyphenols, which block oxygen-based free radicals from damaging body tissues. Maintaining a diet rich in these powerful antioxidants is a recommended way to help prevent against a myriad of health risks and maintain healthy bodily functions.

7. Aronia Juice (Black Chokeberry) Benefits of the Aronia Berry • It’s antimicrobial properties promotes a healthy urinary track • Has anti-inflammatory properties to help prevent and relieve arthritic symptoms • Fights bacteria and viruses, such as colds and the flu • Strengthens memory • Aids digestion • Helps the body produce good cholesterol and lower “bad” cholesterol • Possible aid in the management of diabetes. • It has colon cancer-fighting properties • Aronia is high in fiber and contain pigments (anthocyanins) which can help prevent cancer. • Has the highest antioxidant capacity of any domestic food reported to date • Increases neurological, motor and cognitive functions. • May help to prevent neurological disorders such as dementia • Improve nighttime visual acuity and prevent and even reverse macular degeneration • Help fight against heart disease and other cardiovascular problems, promote cardiovascular health • It may slow the effects of aging • High in potassium. Excellent muscle support. • Prostate Support – Protects the prostate by reducing inflammation and preventing cancer. All men over 45 years of age have some level of cancer. Aronia Berry is also high in zinc in B vitamins which support the prostate. B15 is anti-carcinogenic.

8. Natural Stevia SweetenerStevia Extract (Rebaudioside A) Stevia is a zero-calorie sweetener and is 300 times sweeter than sugar, allowing for a delightfully delicious beverage with lower overall sugar content. We recommend you drink 2-4 ounces daily with confidence knowing you are not consuming excess calories and sugar.

9. Benefitsof NingXia Red • Seven times more pure -therapeutic-grade essential oil—- Carefully selected for their health and flavor profiles, the blend of orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine essential oils found in NingXia Red is packed with 93% d-limonene- a potent antioxidant and a marker for bioactivity. Along with NingXia Red’s premium flavor, these essential oils also aid in maintaining the body’s normal cellular function • Preferred great taste—The new NingXia Red, now Halal and Kosher certified, contains no artificial sugars and has a unique, balanced flavor profile that captures the pure essence of the Ningxia wolfberry. The natural flavor is further enhanced by zero-calorie stevia (Rebaudioside A), essential oils, plus blueberry, cherry, and aronia juice. In fact, when compared to other similar superfruit beverages in a major university study, the new NingXia Red was preferred by 77% of participants over all other options in a blind taste panel!

10. Benefits continued… • Long-lasting energy support—Long-term use of wolfberries may contribute to agility, longevity, and vitality. In fact, recent studies indicate that drinks containing wolfberry exhibit longer-lasting supportive effects on energy and caloric metabolism. NingXia Red is an easy way to get pure, premium Ningxia wolfberries and experience natural, sustained support for energy without the crashes and harmful side effects of coffee or energy drinks. • Fortifies the body and replenishes key nutrients—The combination of whole wolfberries—the juice, peel, seeds, and fruit—with pomegranate and plum juice delivers vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and phytonutrients. NingXia Red also contains zeaxanthin, a carotenoid suggested to enhance healthy visual function. Recent studies on the consumption of wolfberries and whole fruit juices recommend 2 to 4 ounces for optimal support. • Revitalizing, full-body protection—The combination of blueberry, grape seed extract, aronia, and pomegranate—some of the world’s most antioxidant-rich fruits—helps increase the S-ORAC level more than 30% over previous formulations. These levels were independently tested and may help defend against damage caused by free radicals

11. Acid Levels The new NingXia Red formula has a pH level of 3.7. The old formula had a pH level of 3. NingXia Red is less stabile if it becomes too alkaline. The acid helps stabilize the drink so it doesn’t spoil. If you have a very acidic body NingXia Red will taste more acidic to you. *Use Alkalime to improve your pH level.

12. Stabilizers • NingXia Red is a living, enzyme-rich super food, it will spoil quickly if it is not stabilized. Young Living does not use synthetic stabilizers. It uses only natural stabilizers – tartaric acid, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. • They are all used in a very, very small amount. Gary chose tartaric acid over malic acid because it is better for you and less acidic. • Sodium benzoate is naturally occurring in most fruits and vegetables that we eat. Young Living uses a natural mineral source of sodium benzoate in NingXia Red. The confusion arises in people’s minds because sodium benzoate is also produced synthetically and this type is bad for people to consume. Just like synthetic essential oils are very different than Young living oils, synthetic sodium benzoate is very different than naturally derived sodium benzoate.

13. Glycemic Index The old formula had a glycemic index of 19. The new formula has a glycemic index of 14. It is better for pre-diabetics, people with hypoglycemic and diabetics.

14. The New Formula of NingXia Red has a Super Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (S-ORAC) score that is 50 percent higher than the original formula, making it one of the most antioxidant-rich beverages available. S-ORAC testmeasures a drink’s ability to neutralize the dangerous superoxide free radical. (Elevated superoxide is linked to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc.)

24. Coconut Nectar It's a very low glycemic liquid sweetener derived from the liquid sap of the coconut blossoms, and it naturally contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients (including vitamin C). The natural fructose content of this coconut nectar is so amazingly low that it becomes an instant no-brainer replacement for agave nectar.
