Youngevity® introduces the latest Majestic supplement, antioxidant-boosting CocoGevity™, comprised of the powerful hybrid of Açaí, Mangosteen and Wolfberry, CocoGevity’s™ ingredients are bioavailable and highly sought after for their nutritious health-promoting benefits.
CocoGevity™ boasts an indulgent ingredient (“the food of the Gods”) that increases its naturally Cocolicious flavor…Chocolate! Cocagen Extract is a natural extract of the cocoa bean, which grows on the branches and truck of the Theobroma cocao tree. Chocolate has gained its reputation for having significant amounts of naturally occurring in flavornoids, with an antioxidant count twice as high as red wine and three times higher than green tea. Not surprisingly, for 90% of its history, Chocolate has been consumed in liquid form. Laboratory and human studies have indicated that cocoa flavornoids can support heart health!
Açaí, the fruit of a palm tree (“The Tree of Life”) that grows in the rainforests of the Amazon, is known to have ten times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins (polyphenois that give fruits and vegetables their deep color and are high in antioxidant value) of red wine.
Promoting cardiovascular and digestive health, Açaí provides a healthful synergy of:
• monounsaturated (good) fats
• dietary fiber (one-third of the Açaí fruit’s mass)
• phytosterosis (β-sitosterol competes with dietary cholesterol for absorption which may reduce blood cholesterol levels, Lubrano 1994; Schnauss 2006a).
Possibly named after Queen Victoria’s infamous desire to have this exotic fruit imported as her personal staple, the Mangosteen, no relation of the Mango fruit, is the “Queen of Fruits”. The fruit of the Mangosteen is recognized for the incredibly potent antioxidant power of its phytonutrient Xanthones. Some of these Xanthones include mangostin, alpha- and beta-mangostins, mangostinone, mangostanol, and the flavonoid epicatechin.
Wolfberry, crowned the “Red Diamond” in ancient Chinese medical books, provides diverse phytochemicals, including:
• 8 Polysaccharides
• 4 Carotenoids (antioxidants)
• 6 Vitamins
• 18 Amino Acids
• 11 Essential Minerals
• 5 Omega Fatty Acids
In the Chinese work “Herbs and Nutrition” by Shi Liao Ben Cao, it is said that Wofberry “strengthens the muscles and tendons, prevents of colds and leads to longevity.”
With an ORAC score of 85,000 per liter, CocoGevity™ links decadent taste with antioxidants for optimal health. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods. The ORAC analysis, which utilizes Fluorescein as the fluorescent probe, provides a measure of the scavenging capacity of antioxidants against the peroxyl radical.
“So noble a confection, more than nectar and ambrosia, the true food of the gods.”
Dr. Bachot, 1662
