New Maqui Juice

Dr. Tim's Juices Announces New Maqui Juice

Maqui & Acai or is it Maqui or Acai?

I’ve been asked a lot of questions about Maqui and how it compares to Acai. I think Maqui is another great “Super Fruit” and has some unique characteristics that make it a very valuable addition to this family. But don’t be ready to throw out the Acai just yet. Maqui does have nearly 2 times the ORAC that Acai has and it is a true berry. Maqui taste very good and has been used by the Mapuches Indians in the Chilean Patagonia. However, Maqui lacks the oils and the Omegas 6 & 9 that Acai has. Acai is a whole food supplement while Maqui contributes a good tasting juice. My recommendation is to use both and enjoy the unique benefits from both.

Our bodies are designed to utilize many elements for nutrition. The last time there was just one food available with all of the nutrients was during biblical times when manna was supplied from the heavens. So keep eating a variety and drink a variety of juices. And we'll keep making them.

So, what is all the fuss about over Acai on the internet?

Why is it such a big deal? Why has this product been so over-promoted, maligned and praised?

INTERNET FRENZY
Our world gets smaller and smaller each day as access to information real or otherwise accelerates. The internet facilitates this access and spreads information at lightening speed. At times it is hard to know what is real and what is not. Overnight stores pop up on the internet selling or should I say creating the latest craze. Last year the Acai berry became an unsuspecting victim of this internet phenomenon.

OVER-PROMOTION
The internet and Multi-Level-Marketers played a pivotal role in the over-promotion of Acai. While this nearly esoteric fruit brought out of obscurity by a couple of dumb-lucked surfer dudes really has health benefiting properties the perpetrators of these extreme and questionable business plans greedily overstated the value of Acai. Both business plans spawn minions through affiliate sites and “independent distributors”. And just like the old game “Secret” where one person begins whispering a benign phrase into the ear of another and so on and so on until it reaches the end distorted and obtuse so do these affiliates and independent distributors zealously fuel their minions with dreams of riches and half truths about Acai.

THE MALINGERERS
Acai became somewhat maligned in 2009 through the half baked claims of miracle weight loss. Offers for “Acai diet pills” and “free offer trials” inundated the electronic market place like a tsunami. Both unsuspecting and careless consumers signed up in droves to get their “free” bottle of acai miracle pills only to find out that they were trapped in recurring charges on their credit cards and that the pills were useless placebos. But, who could resist with the likes of Oprah and Dr. Oz, Matt Lauer, CBS News and others seemingly promoting the touted effects of these pills on these web sites? The truth of the matter is that the images and or likeness of all of these celebrities and organizations were plagiarized and misquoted. It turns out that the companies who developed this strategy to take advantage of Acai, celebrities and consumers were pursued by the law. Several states Attorneys General went after these unscrupulous firms requiring them to be forthcoming with the details of their programs and shuttered many of them through large financial judgments.

PRAISE THE BERRY
So how is it then that this Acai berry is till growing in popularity? Are people really praising it? I think the answer to the first question is that because the Acai berry has legitimate health benefits. And that is the answer to the second question as well. Acai has been used for centuries along the Amazon River basin. There is even a legend about the Acai berry that originated with the tribes of this region. It has been used as a food staple in the diets of these individuals for centuries. The berries are collected and used in everyday cooking. It has a nutritional profile that adds important elements such as fiber, antioxidants, omega 6 & 9, B vitamins and other health promoting components. The people of this region thrive on the Acai. Studies of groups of individuals who eat Acai on a regular basis compare to those who do not show that those who use Acai have higher levels of HDL the good cholesterol and lower levels of the bad cholesterol LDL. They also were found to be free of heart disease and had healthier hearts. Acai also helps to strengthen the immune system and improve both skin and hair health.
Acai came to the States as a novelty heralded for its energizing capacity, no doubt a welcome side effect from the heart health benefits. The Acai berry is a fickle fruit. The taste of fresh Acai is unforgettable and peculiar. It is not at all disagreeable when prepared fresh. It is not sweet but has a raw sense that is smooth and faintly avocado-like. The locals eat it with shrimp, fish or mandioc. Then in an instant they transform this savory purple porridge into the most remarkable dessert. With a touch of honey or a splash of fruit juice the flavor explodes into a desirable and deliciously unique chocolate berry like ambrosia. No wonder the people of the Amazon protect the rainforest to allow the Acai to grow prolifically.
But Acai fruit is as delicate as it is fickle. Once harvested by hand, the only way it can be done, it must be rushed within hours to market or the local processing plant. At market it is both bought and sold for fresh consumption that very morning. At the processing plants it is prepared for international distribution. It is here where all Acai sold outside of Brazil is turned into a penetrating purple pigmented puree. As a frozen puree the Acai loses its fresh raw avocado-like sense and turns somewhat bitter and uncharacteristically distasteful. “That is why we formulated our Acai drink with just two other juices at just the right ratio to bring out the true Acai flavor that is both sweet and delicious” says Dr. Tim of Dr. Tim’s Juices. Dr Tim’s Juices is a Southern Utah based company selling this juice into retail outlets. They are the only company that cares about bringing the real taste and quality of the Acai to the US consumer. They developed their own processing technology that protects the juice. “Our customers tell us all of the time that they like the taste of our juice over others”. Dr. Tim says “I want the US and even the global consumer to be able to enjoy the real taste of Acai in a delicious ready to drink format and reap the health benefits as well”. Science is catching up to acai as well with new article published monthly validating its’ health benefits.

The realistic praises and benefits of Acai seem to be stabilizing the presence and reputation of the berry. Acai is more readily available and used more widely today than it was even a year ago. It is finding its way into the diets of hundreds of thousands as a daily supplement. It is proving itself to be the real deal by improving the health of its users. It has survived a most curious course to popularity and is here to stay. So go find some acai and give it a try.

RESEARCH SHOWS ACAI MAY PREVENT HEART DISEASE

Residents of Macapa announce their healthy advantage over the world with the discoveries made by Dr. Edward Costa cardiologist. Dr. Costa conducted research on the people of this town to determine if there were any advantages to consuming Acai. Macapa the capital city in the state of Amapa, Brazil is situated on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Amazon River. The people of this reagion eat Acai as a regular part of their diets. Dr. Costa a resident of the state of Amapa who developed this research at the Federal University of Para, discovered that Acai whether in juice, pulp or puree contains a significant element known as “anthocyanins”. These anthocyanins increase HDL or healthy cholesterol and lowers LDL or bad cholesterol and thereby significantly reducing the occurrence of cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Costa who researches drugs to reverse and prevent heart disease examined and tracked 300 people from 6 different cities in the region. The research was designed to investigate if in fact the Acai fruit can combat the heart disease including cardiac hypertrophy or enlarged heart. The subjects in this investigation were divided into two groups those who eat Acai and those who do not.

“We found that those individuals who consume Acai on a regular basis had higher HDL levels than those who do not eat Acai” reports Dr. Costa. “We also found higher levels of LDL among those who do not eat Acai compared to those who do”. HDL is the good cholesterol and LDL is the bad. The results of this study reveal Acai to be a non-pharmaceutically based treatment for the prevention of cardiac disease that is both responsible and sustainable. One of the interesting findings was that Acai did not supply a significant amount of iron to the diet. Dr Costa says “Acai does not contain iron. Acai is a normal fruit. However it is rich in fiber and monounsaturated fats (the good ones).”

WHY DOCTORS ARE RECOMMENDING ACAI

Acai has a unique taste. It has been described many ways including chocolate-berry flavor to mixed berry flavor to avocado like. The real flavor profile of Acai is not sweet nor berry like. In fact the reason for consuming Acai is not for the flavor or because it a delicious fruit but because of its antioxidants and health benefits.

Acai has a lot to offer in the way of health benefits. It contains anthocyanins which are high in antioxidants, monounsaturated fats which are good for you, fiber, iron, protein and B vitamins. It is used as a food staple among the “riberinhos” or river dwellers of the Amazon Basin because of its life sustaining properties. Beyond the Amazon Basin in Brazil the Acai is eaten in many forms including sorbet, jam and as a frozen slush mixed with granola and honey. Over 90% of the Acai is consumed in Brazil.

Acai is sold in the world predominately as a juice or in juice form. This is so because of its delicate nature and inability to be preserved in any other form other than a puree or juice. Acai is available in a variety of blends and mixtures and even as a 100% puree or juice. One quickly learns that 100% Acai is very bitter and distasteful. And most that chose to consume it this way mix it with other things in order to tolerate its natural flavor profile.

One of the more remarkable characteristics of Acai is its ability to turn into an amazingly delicious and flavorful fruit once combined with just the right ratio of special juices. In fact along the Amazon River the riberinhos who eat Acai primarily as an unsweetened porridge and dip for fish and shrimp will occasionally add a bit of honey to the Acai and transform it into the most unique and pleasantly flavorful dessert.

Acai juice as it is available here in the U.S. can come in a variety of mixtures and blends. From high quality delicious supplements such as Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai to very low quality versions that can be found in super markets such as Wal-Mart. The Dr. Tim’s brand does the best job in delivering the most authentic Acai flavor without the bitterness. The Wal-Mart brands offer a juice that is Acai in name only, is mostly water and sugar and taste just like any other fruit punch on the shelf.

The science behind the health benefits of Acai is growing. With over 100 research articles published we are learning more and more about Acai and why it is good for us. Recent research has revealed that Acai lowers bad cholesterol, is a strong antioxidant that gets into the blood stream and is effective in fighting diseases related to inflammation such as heart disease, arthritis and autoimmune disorders. It has been demonstrated in the laboratory to fight certain types of cancer cells such as Leukemia.

To find Acai that tastes like Acai and is delicious without compromising quality and quantity of Acai you must read the labels. To take advantage of the health benefits of Acai you need to find the brands of juice that deliver on quantity. The Acai juices sold mostly as dietary supplements contain more Acai than others. Look for brands that deliver 80% or more real Acai in their products and have a short ingredient list. Also look for fruit content that exceeds 22,000mg of fruit per serving and stay away from the bitter and distasteful 100% Acai products. Beware of the other end of the spectrum and avoid the confusion of cheap Wal-Mart brands. And above all, remember that the real reason to buy an Acai product is to enjoy the health benefits that come from the Acai berry fruit.

ACAI IMPROVES ANTIOXIDANT STATUS AND DECREASES CHOLESTEROL

Saint George, Utah. Acai has some very good benefits. Unfortunately these benefits are clouded by the uneducated claims made by over zealous marketers. “I am always searching for new results being published in reputable scientific journals” says Dr. Tim of Dr. Tim’s Juices. The consumer may be feeling a little deceived about acai and hesitant to supplement their diets with this remarkable fruit. And this is understandable given the tsunami of false claims that inundated the web last year. Dr. Tim continues “ I think we are beyond the untruthful claims of miracle weight loss and magic acai pills”.

But the science requisite to validate the anecdotal claims has been scarce. However we are starting to see some credible evidence supporting acai as an effective and essential dietary supplement. Most of the research is being conducted in animal models and demonstrating some very interesting results.

A recent study reported in the Journal of Medicinal Food 2009 Oct;12(5):1084-8 conducted at the Universidade de Ouro Preto in Minas Gerais, Brasil concluded that consumption of acai improves anti-oxidant status and decreases bad cholesterol. M. Oliveira De Souza et al of the Núcleo de Pesquisas em Ciências Biológicas investigated the antioxidant potential and hypocholesterolemic effects of acai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) pulp ingestion in rats fed a standard or hypercholesterolemic diet. This means that rats who were fed a high cholesterol diet and tested positive for high cholesterol and then had their diets supplemented with Acai showed two things: #1. the study proves the antioxidant significance of acai supplementation in living organisms and #2. acai supplementation was effective in reducing cholesterol levels. Keep in mind that this study now needs to be performed on human subjects. Nonetheless these results are very important and further validate and confirm much of the anecdotal evidence we are seeing with acai consumption.

It is important for the consumer to know that supplementing ones diet with acai can result in positive health benefits. Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai has been proven to have 85%+ acai content and is a very good source of potent, bioactive acai in the best tasting format. They offer a best taste guarantee and are very reasonably priced. For more information go to www.brazilbotanicals.com.

WHAT CAN ACAI REALLY DO?

St. George, Utah By now most of us are sick and tired of seeing all of those phony weight loss ads claiming Acai to be the driving ingredient in so many pills. We have been bombarded with so much information regarding the acai berry it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. Some of the ads were so believable that even I had to go back and search the scientific literature to re-check the facts. The reality of Acai is that even though it will not magically melt your unwanted fat from your body it still has some rather impressive qualities.

I want to make sure that everyone reading this article knows that we make Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai. We make this and other juices to taste as fresh as possible and protect the flavor integrity of the fruit. Now, in truth most of the exotic fruits that are marketed today including acai are not sweet and delicious. They are bitter and somewhat distasteful. There are some exceptions such as the inner fruit of the mangosteen and the maqui berry. Even the goji berry is tolerable. However the taste of many of these fruits is somewhat challenged because of the high level of antioxidants and polyphenols. Antioxidants and polyphenols are naturally occurring chemical compounds in these fruits. They contribute strongly to the bitter taste of these fruits especially when you take into consideration the high content of these compounds found in the fruits.

It is unreasonable to ask anyone to drink any of these juices without improving the taste. Yes, I know that there are some of you out there that believe that in order for something to be good for you it has to taste bad. (I have some dot com stock I’d like to sell to you.) So if these fruits have so much to offer in the way of health benefits why not make them more palatable? Some companies have taken this thought to the extreme and only use 10% to 20% of the specific fruit in their products and bury it underneath a lot of sugar and water and a host of other juices.

Currently selling in Wal-Mart is an Acai juice that makes some unbelievable claims. (Don’t forget I still have that stock if you’re interested.) The makers of that juice act as if they believe that acai juice will replace orange juice. Let me tell you that that will never happen. Here’s why: #1 Cost. Acai is far more expensive than oranges. Also it takes a hundred times more acai berries than oranges to make a quart of juice. #2. Juice. Oranges have juice Acai does not. Each orange has juice and naturally occurring sugars that make it taste good. Remember that the acai is not a berry at all. It is a date. It has a thick hard shell with an even thinner layer of pulp surrounding an enormous seed. It has no juice! It has oils. The acai has to go through a process that literally beats the outer shell off of the seed. This process requires adding water to the pulp to allow it to flow through the machinery and into drums that can be frozen. It is from this pulp that acai juice is made. In the final analysis this Wal-Mart acai is probably less than 9% Acai and not a good choice if you are looking to benefit from this fruit.

Somewhere in the middle of all of the juices on the market we find the true nature and taste of Acai. And in spite of many of these companies and all of their marketing Acai really does have some remarkable qualities. You can take advantage of these qualities and benefits by knowing what to look for. Obviously you don’t want to buy a Wal-Mart acai for the benefits of acai. First you look for content: Acai pulp, acai puree acai juice are the best forms of acai. Reconstituted acai, freeze dried acai or acai powders are lower quality products that have to have water added to them. Next, look for quality: The amount of acai in the container or per serving. 100% acai will taste absolutely awful. Unfortunately most companies do not tell you how much acai is in their juice claiming to protect a super secret proprietary formula. However there are a few companies that disclose the amount of acai in their products. Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai has 85% acai. We are the only company to actually research the optimal acai content percentages balanced with other juices. We found that anything over 88% acai will have a bad taste to it because of the naturally occurring oils. We even did market research and found that most people prefer the ratio of 85% acai with the remaining 15% a combination of just two other juices. Additional findings demonstrated full benefits with this ratio. No wonder it taste so good and customers rave about the benefits.

Studies have proven that the antioxidants found in acai are absorbed by the human body and are distributed throughout by the blood stream. Other studies have demonstrated in-vitro killing of certain cancer cells. Acai contains oil that is better than virgin olive oil. It contains the fatty acids omega 6 & 9. Omega 3 has been found in the acai but in such incredibly small amounts that you would have to consume unreasonably large quantities to derive any benefit. It has protein and fiber. It has a special class of plant pigments or anthocyanins that give it a very high antioxidant capacity. It also contains naturally occurring B vitamins, iron and calcium.

Acai supports the following:

Heart health, immune system, appetite suppression, improved energy levels, better sleep, relief from hot flashes, relief from inflammation including arthritis and prostate and improved circulation

So, you can enjoy the health benefits of acai if the product has a high quantity of the fruit, the right quality of the fruit and if you add it to your daily regiment as a dietary supplement. It tastes great in the morning along side breakfast or as a mid meal snack. Keep in mind that many Brazilians use acai as a food staple because of its high nutrient factors. You can read in more about acai at www.brazilbotanicals.com.

Quality of Dr. Tim's Juices

There are a lot of juices to choose from. We want you to try our Dr. Tim’s Juices. We believe that our quality, taste and value are unsurpassed in the industry. We have invested hours of laboratory and market research to identify the optimum balance of flavor and functionality of these juices. Our phones are busy with great customers calling in to tell us how much they enjoy our juices and the positive results they are experiencing from taking them daily.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

The female name “Mona” and the word “vie” literally means to challenge the woman named Mona. I am not sure how this applies to a multilevel marketing company intent on selling fruit juice blends with Acai juice among 18 other juices. Perhaps the real task is to challenge the quality and value of the juice called by the same name. If you take a bottle of this product and do the math on the contents per ounce it turns out that there would only be 1.3 ounces of each juice in their 25 ounce bottle. One ounce is the equivalent of approximately 30 milliliters or one Tablespoon. Their recommended daily dosage is one Tablespoon. So in that one Table spoon optimally you would be receiving only .05 ounces per serving of any one of the 19 juices in their Acai fruit punch. That is only 5% of the volume of a Tablespoon. That is as small as a teardrop. Now one bottle can cost $40.00. There are 25 servings per bottle which then comes to $1.60 per ounce. On a national average gasoline is only 4cents per ounce. Other companies sell 32 ounce bottles of 100% acai for the same $42.00 price but the taste of 100% pure acai is very bitter and hard to swallow. It seems the reasonable middle ground in this purple berry fight is to find a juice that is high in quality, content, ready to drink or rather good tasting and half the cost of these $40.00 bottles. The only product we have been able to find that fits this category is Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai. A 32 ounce bottle of Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai contains 85% real Acai with the remaining 15% a mixture of just two juices for flavor. And the good news is that the taste is outstanding. It really tastes like Acai. The cost is only $18.95 per bottle and when purchased in groups of 5 the shipping is free. No need to cry any tears over finding high quality, great tasting reasonably priced Acai with Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai.

VITAMIN C VS. THE SWINE FLU

On Monday, a report by President Obama's scientific advisors laid out a not-so-encouraging scenario of the possibility that more than 100 million Americans could contract the swine flu (H1N1) virus, and that up to 90,000 could die from it this fall and winter. The World Health Organization (WHO) has formally declared a pandemic in the growing outbreak of H1N1 influenza. This is the type widely known as "swine flu."

We all need to know how to fight the flu. Some very simple things that everyone of us can do include frequently washing one's hands, practice good hygiene in public and at home, and stay out of the hospital if possible, get enough rest and eat foods rich in antioxidants. "We can't stop the tide of flu any more than we can turn a hurricane in its course," said Dr. Jay C. Butler, director of the CDC's H1N1 vaccine task force, during a recent briefing on H1N1. "... But we can mitigate the effects and help prevent people from becoming severely ill."

It turns out that vitamin C may end up playing an important role in the battle against this global health threat. We have known for years that vitamin C is good for us. But this year we are learning just how vital it will be for us.

The Linus Pauling Institute reports that “Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, an important structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bone. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine. Neurotransmitters are critical to brain function and are known to affect mood. In addition, vitamin C is required for the synthesis of carnitine, a small molecule that is essential for the transport of fat to cellular organelles called mitochondria, for conversion to energy (1). Recent research also suggests that vitamin C is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol to bile acids, which may have implications for blood cholesterol levels and the incidence of gallstones (2).:”

They also says that “Vitamin C is also a highly effective antioxidant. Even in small amounts vitamin C can protect indispensable molecules in the body, such as proteins, lipids (fats), carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species that can be generated during normal metabolism as well as through exposure to toxins and pollutants (e.g. smoking). Vitamin C may also be able to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin E (1)”

Traditional natural sources of vitamin C have included oranges and ascorbic acid tablets. Now there is a new and stronger source of natural vitamin C: Camu Camu. Camu Camu contains a full spectrum vitamin C that is more readily absorbed by the body and provides 30 times more vitamin C per gram than oranges. It comes from the Amazon where it has been used for centuries. Just recently has it become more readily available through Dr. Tim’s Juices a company making high quality exotic super fruit juices. Their juices can be found online at www.brazilbotanicals.com.

BBB Certifies Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices!

Saint George, Utah July 28, 2009 The Better Business Bureau has certified Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices and Brazil Botanicals as accredited for meeting “BBBOnLine” standards. Dr. Tim’s Exotic juices stands for quality, integrity, value and trust. “This prestigious certification from the Better Business Bureau confirms to the consumer our dedication and performance on these standards.” “I am very pleased to receive this certification” says Dr. Tim.

BBB accreditation means a company abides by the following standards: Trust through a positive track record in the marketplace, advertise honestly adhering to established standards of selling and advertising, Tell the truth about products and services, be transparent by openly identifying the nature, location, and ownership of the business while disclosing policies procedures and guarantees, Honor promises, Be responsive, Safeguard privacy and embody integrity.

Dr. Tim’s Juices is headquartered in Saint George, Utah. They are a healthy beverage company providing branded and private label products. Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai Juice, Thai Mangosteen, Tibetan Goji, Polynesian Noni and Amazon Camu Camu are the exotic juices. They also have ISO-5 complete hydration powered by young green coconut water and Jungle Juice an all natural and safe real energy drink.

Thirsty? The summer sun blazes high in the sky.

Sweat beads up and begins to roll down your body. You feel hot and your mouth gets dry. Suddenly you feel thirsty. There are countless choices for liquid rehydration available. When you get to this point anything ice cold seems like it will do.

summerThirst is an interesting physiological mechanism. It isn't triggered by how hot you feel but by the concentration of chemicals or electrolytes in your blood. This portion of your blood is called plasma and osmolality refers to the concentration of substances such as sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium. You get an increase of plasma osmolality when you lose liquid volume and the chemicals in your plasma become more concentrated. This loss of fluid can happen in a number of ways including sweating, blood loss, and diarrhea and or vomiting.

According to Dr. Mark Dedominco in an article posted on MSN Health & Fitness "Less than a 2 percent rise in plasma osmolality-that's not very much-will elicit thirst. However, it takes a 5 percent rise in your plasma osmolality to indicate true dehydration". Your body's thirst mechanism is an important indicator, much like the oil warning light in your car to take in more fluids. A loss of 2% of body fluids can result in a 20% drop in productivity and mental clarity. That is why those who get stranded in extreme conditions without adequate fluid replacement get confused and unable to perform the simplest of tasks which sometimes can result in death.

Hydration and rehydration are key concepts especially for athletes. The Chicago Blackhawks National Hockey League team recognized early on the overall improvement in cognition and physical performance when their athletes were properly hydrated. They found coconut water to offer the very best results for efficient and complete hydration. Mike Gapsky the Blackhawk's trainer insists on using Dr. Tim's ISO-5 which is powered by young green coconut water because of how well it provides complete hydration to his team. Gapsky commented on how the team members liked the flavors and that ISO-5 did not leave a heavy sticky feel in their mouths. In fact because the hydration is so complete with ISO-5 the Blackhawks never felt thirsty.

ISO-5 can be found in select Albertsons, Harmon's, Bally Total Fitness clubs and at www.brazilbotanicals.com.

Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices offer a ‘Best Taste Guarantee” for their Acai, Noni, Mangosteen and Goji Juices

Not Everyone Has Good Taste…and the recent health trend of Superfruits loaded with antioxidants including Acai, Noni, Mangosteen and Goji supports the old adage “if it tastes that bad, it’s got to be good for you.” “Boy that’s awful” was the reaction of Co-Host Maggie Rodriguez CBS’ the Early Show” when tasting ACAI. One taste and you too may be willing to forgo these health benefits, until now. Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices is offering the very first ever BEST TASTE GUARANTEE.

Dr. Tim Hollingshead a surgeon and consultant to the nutrition industry was challenged to make these juices including ACAI and NONI taste good while maintaining the potency of the natural fruit that is often lost in processing. Dr Tim recognized the health benefits of these super fruits and the need to incorporate them into a daily regimen for health conscience consumers.

He became concerned that as Acai and the other exotic juices gained awareness that many companies were racing to make their version of healthy drinks significantly diluting them in potency to appeal to the consumer.

He approached this project and isolated a method to keep the benefits of the juice intact and make them taste good. The first in flavor and potency! The result was CROYFLUX CONCENTRATE which simply takes the natural water out of the juice leaving all the good stuff behind; then adding that liquid volume back with a recipe of just a couple of other juices to support the natural flavor and make them taste delicious.

The result is that you have a good tasting full potency Super fruit juice. And these juices are backed by the first every money back guarantee.

Dr. Tim will refund the full purchase price if the consumer feels there is another comparable product that tastes better. Simply keep your original receipt and the original receipt of the purchase of another equivalent product, and send it to Dr. Tim for a full no questions asked refund of your purchase.*

Most Acai Products Fail to Disclose the Exact Amount of Acai Juice Content

Nutritionist David Schardt of the Center for Science in the Public Interest said in a recent Readers Digest article "The Acai berry is a good source of antioxidants". But because most of the acai juice drinks advertised do not disclose the amount of Acai in their product "its hard to know how much Acai you’re actually getting in any given product," says Schardt.

Most companies charge an arm and a leg for these unknown blends. One company charges $45.00 for a 750 milliliter or 25 ounce bottle for a blend that has less than 20% acai. However we found one company openly disclosing the amount of Acai in their product with extremely high quality and at what we have found to be an affordable price. Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices based out of Saint George, Utah offers 100% juice in each bottle with 85% of that in acai and the remaining 15% just two other juices.

What is so remarkable about Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices is the fact that they openly disclose the concentration of their juice. Additionally we found the "Cryoflux" cold concentration technology to be unique and revolutionary. A 32 ounce bottle of Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai Juice sells for $18.95 and if you buy a 5 or 10 pack they pay for Fedex shipping. This is the best value and quality we have been able to find. And the taste is the best we have sampled. You can find this Acai at www.brazilbotanicals.com as well as in a growing number of health food stores and supermarkets.

Acai Juice Testimonial

After being introduced to the benefits of the acai juice 3 months ago and how it can lower cholesterol levels, I did my research and stumbled upon Dr. Tim's site. I have been on medicine for the last 11 years to help lower my Triglyceride levels and over that time period have never been able to get them down low enough to be in recommended 31 to 150 range.

After only 2 months of taking Dr Tim's Acai juice I can honestly say that there has been significant improvement in my numbers that my doctor is allowing me to go off my medications. Triglycerides are down from 243 to 103, regular cholesterol is down from 134 to 92 and LDL has gone from 49 to 38. I feel I have final been able to conquer a battle that I've worked so hard at trying to control with diet, exercise and finally the dreaded costly medications.

The added bonus to the improved health is the money I will be able to save not having to purchase the meds. And in these economic times who doesn't want to be able to save some of their hard earned dollars.Thanks Dr. Tim for providing these products! Kevin, Kansas

Vitamin Pills vs. Juice

The largest study ever of multivitamin use in older women found they did nothing to prevent common cancers or heart disease.

The Associated Press released an article on February 9, 2009 reporting that a very significant study involving nearly 200,000 participants found that Multivitamins in the pill form do nothing to prevent cancer or heart disease in women or men. The eight-year study in 161,808 postmenopausal women echoes recent disappointing vitamin studies in men.

Millions of Americans spend billions of dollars on vitamins to boost their health. Research has focused on cancer and heart disease in particular because of evidence that diets full of vitamin-rich foods may protect against those illnesses. But that evidence doesn't necessarily mean pills are a good substitute according to the lead author of the study researcher Marian Neuhouser of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington.

Alice Lichtenstein, a Tufts University nutrition professor who was not involved in the research, said the study is important because it involved so many women. The study appears in Monday's Archives of Internal Medicine.
"All the evidence keeps pointing in the same direction," Lichtenstein said. Diets full of vitamin rich whole foods and fruit juices that have had very little processing are highly recommended and preferred by the experts over pills.

Goji Is Back In The Spotlight

Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) has been revered as a king of plants for thousands of years. Its use in Asia as a nutritive food dates back nearly 5,000 years and may even predate some of the Egyptian pyramids. Goji is about 10 times higher in antioxidants than blueberries, We know that there's a lot of scientific evidence supporting the fact that antioxidants may prevent disease and help prevent aging as well. this powerful superfruit is rich in protein, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and iron and has been touted for its purported ability to improve vision and nourish kidneys, among other benefits.

Hailed as the newest super food, goji berry awareness has blossomed as a result of this trend. Reporters for the Natural Product Insider a leading journal in the natural products industry had this to say about Goji:

While many of the goji berry’s health benefits are derived from the historical use of the plant as a medicine, it is uncontested that these tiny berries contain a wealth of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, phytosterols, prebiotic fiber, EFAs and amino acids. Goji berries also contain a rich supply of linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (LNA). The oil extracted from the goji seed is reported to contain 67.8 g LA and 3.4 g LNA per 100 g of seed oil. The standard American diet is sorely lacking in these important fats; prolonged deficiency of LA and LNA can result in hair loss, kidney and liver failure, miscarriage, tissue inflammation, high blood pressure and edema.

Goji berry is also noted for its high level of antioxidant carotenoids that can protect the body from damage by neutralizing free radicals. The most abundant carotenoid found in goji is zeaxanthin, which has a protective effect on the eyes. Goji berries contain 162 mg of zeaxanthin per 100 g of fruit; this is considerably higher than other edible carotenoid-rich plants such as spinach, which only contains 12.2 mg of zeaxanthin per serving.

Goji berries are also rich in polysaccharides, chains of sugar molecules that may support the regulation of the immune system. In addition, polysaccharides are an excellent source of prebiotic fiber, which is the fermentable or soluble fiber that gets processed into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the intestinal tract, and provides food for beneficial intestinal flora (probiotics) that aid digestion and nutrient absorption. Daily intake of prebiotic fiber is associated with a reduced risk of several prevalent diseases including obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and a variety of digestive imbalances.

Acai Juice Testimonial

I was given a bottle of that stuff, Mona Vie, to try for a friend who I guess was going into that tier system. I liked that it made me feel quite a bit better. So, I investigated and went to my local health food store. I was on another blend for several months till one day a friend said she got a pure source of the Acai from her health food store. I'm not to sure how pure hers is, but, on here Dr. Tim tells you his is 85% pure. So, I tried it and the rest has been history for me. I have almost no coffee anymore and eat a smaller more healthy portion of food at my meals. Everyone I tell about this stuff is very happy with the results. I live in a smaller town and the amount of people drinking Dr. Tim's juices is growing. You can't get near his price for the quality and the actual disclosure of pure Acai content. A gift from God to me. I'm so alive and alert and I have a lot of respect for Dr. Tim and his endeavor to keep the quality high, the price low and to keep looking for more of natures gifts. Read about the befits if you don't know. They are happening in my body. Thank you,

(PRLEAP.COM) May 19, 2009 Saint George, Utah - Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices were accepted by a large distributor based out of Sweden where the juices were reviewed and accepted. Plans to distribute throughout the European Union are set and the products will have great success given the current demand. Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai just last week was accepted for distribution into Japan.

Europe is a market with a growing demand for the amazing purple berry of the Amazon. Europeans have a growing affinity for the taste and the benefits. There has been very limited distribution for this kind of product in Europe due to the high governmental standards for imported beverages. The Europeans understand the benefits of using natural products as dietary supplements. And with the explosion of these Exotic juices in North America the demand for these healthy antioxidant packed juices grows stronger.

"We are so pleased and excited to have received this approval for our Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices" said Dr. Tim. "It is really amazing how the success of the quality and taste of our products is growing so rapidly not only domestically but globally." Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices is a Saint George, Utah company specializing in the formulation and production of natural products derived from exotic fruits.
