Proanthocyanidins have been reported to possess a wide range of biologic properties against oxidative stress. For this reason a recent study was conducted using Proanthocyanidins to see if they hold potential to protect against periodontopathogens. The study conducted in Canada, demonstrated that Proanthocyanidins have potent antioxidant properties and should be considered a potential agent in the prevention of Periodontal diseases. Periodontal diseases are diseases involving bone loss, pockets and recession of gums. More research is needed to confirm these findings.

At Bangalore University’s Department of Zoology in India, scientists conducted a study involving rats which showed that proanthocyanidins (PA) consumed in a moderately low quantity provides antioxidant protection of the brain. Researchers concluded that PA may have a potent role in enhancing cognition in older rats. This is possibly exciting news for humans, however, more human research would provide a fuller understanding of a PA/human relationship.

“In my medical practice, the majority of health challenges I see in my patients can be attributed to free radical damage and the lack of antioxidant protection. I strongly recommend a nutritional program high in antioxidants that is easy to take and easy for the body to use. From my professional research and experience, I have found that no other nutritional program comes close to Vemma for it’s bioavailability, efficacy and convenience.”

A recent research trial was conducted to study the effects of multivitamin/mineral supplements on older adults who are already consuming a nutrient-fortified diet. Eighty adults between the ages of 50-87 participated in the eight-week double blind, placebo controlled trial. The objective of the study was to determine whether a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement could improve the body’s micronutrient status and the blood’s antioxidant capacity.
After measuring various nutrient blood levels and other blood indicators in the participants, researchers concluded that supplementation with a multivitamin formulated at about 100% Daily Value can increase the vitamin status in older adults and improve their micronutrient status to levels associated with reduced risk for several chronic diseases.

Most health industry experts will tell you that building a strong nutritional foundation is vital for your health and well being. In fact, scientists and medical doctors are now recognizing the need for adding vitamins to your daily nutritional program.Two Harvard Medical School scientists recommended that all adults take daily vitamin supplements based on two factors – the recognition that Americans do not receive enough vitamins from their diet alone and the result of nearly forty years of clinical research indicating vitamin supplementation plays an important role in long term good health ** The other major factors in this strong foundation are following a balanced diet, exercising regularly and supplementing not only the ideal amount of vitamins, but also powerful antioxidants and major, trace and ultra trace minerals.
Why is it so important to build a strong nutritional foundation? Every day your bodies 63 trillion cells are constantly being bombarded by unstable molecules called “free radicals” from the air you breath, the food you eat and the water you drink. Free radicals can damage your cells and increase the aging process. (The more effective you are at protecting your cells, the healthier they can become and the younger you can feel!)

In the March 2009 issue of Success from Home Magazine, K. Shelby Skrhak wrote that the “. . original flavorful liquid nutritional supplement called Vemma is an acronym for its ultra premium ingredients–vitamins, essential minerals, mangosteen and glyconutrient-rich aloe vera. Although absent from the acronym, Vemma also contains decaffeinated organic green tea. widely recognized by health experts for its high levels of free-radical-fighting antioxidants.
Originally designed for the 76 million baby boomers, to take this hugely successful formula, now sold in over 50 countries worldwide, into a more youthful market took some creativity. Vemma created the Verve energy drink, a dietary supplement containing all the healthy benefits of Vemma, with the additional boost of an energy blend. the edgy energy drink comprises 2 ounces of Vemma, 6 ounces of ultra-purified sparkling water and a specially formulated energy blend.
Containing the equivalent of about an apple and a half of the natural fruit sugar, fructose, Verve also offers a 4 calorie, sugar-free version. To ensure all the healthy ingredients in Verve remain intact until delivery, the can is equipped with a special protective liner to preserve all the benefits of the drink until consumption.
Most recently, Vemma raised the bar once more when it created the Verve Energy Shot, offering all the healthy energy of the Verve Energy Drink in a convenient and portable 3-ounce energy shot.”.

In 1998 the Journal of Medicinal Foods published an evaluation on liquid vitamins and minerals. The purpose of the evaluation was to look at the evidence surrounding whether or not there were benefits to vitamin and mineral supplements delivered in liquid form. A wide variety of research studies were reviewed and it was determined that liquid supplements contain nutrients that are highly bioavailable, can be gentler to the stomach, and are sometimes more suitable for children and elderly people.
