Description of Products and their Uniqueness in
the Market
The bottom line is that we are all busy, we are working, playing,
and studying at one hundred miles an hour, twenty four hours a day.
When we get hungry we eat the quickest option available and that
isn't likely to be the most healthy. Fortunately, there are
companies like XELR8 who provide nutritional options for those of
us who are always on the go.
XELR8 offers energy drinks, snacks and protien drinks and vitamins
for those who are performance or athleticly inclined. However, the
real star of XELR8's lineup is Bazi--the Jujube Juice Energy Drink.
Bazi is a powerful, concentrated, antioxidant† nutritional drink
that gives you all the vitamins and minerals you need in a single,
convenient, one-ounce shot.
Bazi contains eight of the world’s “super fruits”—popular fruits
and exotic berries from remote regions of the globe. The Jujube
fruit has been shown to strengthen the immune system, provide a
calm energy, and help the digestive, neurological and muscular
functions. It is a potent antioxidant rich in vitamin c and other
vitamins and minerals. The Jujube fruit contains an abundance of
Betulinic acid which is exciting modern science by a growing body
of evidence for its role in killing cancerous cells and in slowing
the progression of HIV. The Jujube fruit has one of the highest
concentrations of cGMP and cAMP which are messenger molecules. They
carry important signals at the cell level. Every physical and
mental action requires the transmission of these signals. The
Ancient Chinese learned about these unique properties over
thousands of years ago.
To enhance the properties of this health elixir XELR8 has added
seven other exotic fruits and berries. These are the goji berry,
the mangosteen fruit, the acai berry, the seabuckthorn berry,
blueberry, the pomegranate and the raspberry. The Goji berry is
derived from 18 amino acids, 21 trace minerals and complex
polysaccharides which have been shown to strengthen the immune
system. The Mangosteen fruit contains a specialized class of
antioxidants called xanthones, which are highly biologically
active. They help the body defend against stress and cellular
destruction. The Acai Tree is located in the Amazon rainforest and
has berries that are loaded with antioxidants, anthocyanins, amino
acids, omegas, fibers and protein. The Seabuckthorn berry contains
190 bioactive components. It is a great source of Vitamin E,
vitamin C, beta-carotene, unsaturated fatty acids, essential amino
acids, and flavanoids. Blueberries are packed with antioxidant
phytonutrients called anthocyanidins and are one of the most potent
neutralizers of damaging free radicals. The pomegranate is also
rich in polyphelonols which have been linked by science to playing
a role in cardiovascular health, cancer and even aging. The
raspberry is packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. It is
also high in ellagic Acid –a powerful anti-carcinogenic
compound.
But wait we are not done yet. This powerful health drink is packed
with 12 vitamns-including the entire B-vitamin complex. It also
contains 68 minerals-all major minerals and all minor minerals and
all co-factors. Bazi blends them all in a unique vitamin/mineral
complex.
