anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, and other fatty acids. Studies have
shown that acai has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and apoptic (pro-
grammed cell death). effects A study published in the Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry, showed extracts of Acai berries trig-
gered apostisis in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested.
Mangosteen (Garcinia magostana) is a plant native to Southeast
Asia. Studies reveal that xanthones from the fruit hulls of mangos-
teen have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti?inflammato-
ry properties. In one study mangosteen’s xanthones significantly
inhibited the growth of leukemia cells. One xanthone in particular,
alpha?mangostin, showed complete inhibition of leukemia cells
through the induction of apoptosis (programmed cell death). Other
studies indicate xanthones from mangosteen inhibit the activities of
COX?1 and COX?2 enzymes, prevent oxidative damage of LDL cho-
lesterol, have cytotoxic effects on liver cancer cells, and are antipro-
liferative, antioxidative, and apoptic against breast cancer cells.
Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum) polysaccharides exhibit anti-tumor,
immune enhancing and liver-protective properties. Studies suggest
that Goji polysacharides have positive effects when used with con-
ventional cancer treatments. A 1994 study done in China on
patients with a variety of cancers revealed that patients who were
given Goji Berry polysaccharides along with their conventional can-
cer treatment had a 40.9 percent response rate to the treatment,
while patients who received conventional treatment without the Goji
Berry supplement had only a 16.1 percent response rate.
Additionally the Goji Berry supplemented patients experienced
longer remissions and had a significant increase in natural killer cell
activity. Goji berries contain high levels of Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid
necessary for healthy vision that is present in high amounts in the
macula of the human eye. The Zeaxanthin in Goji berries is a natu-
rally esterifed zeaxanthin which has been proven to cause a higher
increase in plasma levels than the non-esterified form contained in
many supplements. Researchers have concluded that Goji is one of
the best antioxidants to promote healthy aging.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) contains thousands of phytochem-
icals including anthocyananins, ellagic acid derivatives, catechins and
procyandins, flavonols, fatty acids and sterols. Human studies show
that pomegranate polyphenols and their metabolites offer protection
against various diseases. Pomegranate increases nitric oxide produc-
tion in the endothelial cells of the vascular system protecting against
cardiovascular disease. Studies show consumption of the juice bene-
fits patients with carotid artery stenosis, those with hypertension, and
those with coronary heart disease. Pomegranate has been heavily
studied in the treatment of prostate cancer. In one study when men
with aggressive prostate cancer were given pomegranate juice daily
after treatment by surgery or radiation, there was over a four-fold
prolonged delay in prostate specific antigen (PSA) doubling time,
and the rate of PSA rise was reduced by 50% over the course of just
one year. Numerous other studies demonstrate pomegranate inhibits
inflammation, slows cartilage loss in arthritis, improves sperm health,
and increases the overall antioxidant capacity of the blood.

inflammatory properties, may help delay cog-
nitive decline. Those with Alzheimer’s dis-
ease have abnormally high levels of oxidative
stress, inflammation, and LDL cholesterol,
doctors said.
In this small pilot study, researchers meas-
ured cognition in 34 people with Alzheimer’s
disease before and after taking a placebo, or
omega-3s with or without alpha-lipoic acid.
The doses were 675 mg DHA, 975 mg EPA,
and 600 mg alpha-lipoic acid per day.
After 12 months, while there were no
changes in measures of oxidative stress in any
of the groups, both the omega-3 and omega-
3 plus alpha-lipoic acid groups had better
scores in tests of math, memory, and orienta-
tion compared to placebo. Also, the omega-3
group tested better than placebo in carrying
out activities of daily living, including chores
such as housekeeping and shopping, which
increased their chances of living independ-
ently longer.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: The Ideal
Antioxidant
Researchers are excited about its
therapeutic potential; it is now used
successfully to treat diabetes and its
complications.
A little known vitamin-like substance called
alpha-lipoic acid or lipoic acid is making a
name for itself on two fronts: as the "ideal
antioxidant" and as a treatment for diabetes.
Researchers are excited about its therapeutic
potential which they have just begun to
explore - in a number of other areas as well.
Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring sub-
stance in the body. It is essential in the pro-
duction of cellular energy.
Lipoic acid is a very effective antioxidant
for several reasons. We know that antioxi-
dants, which include vitamins C and E and
the carotenoids, are of major significance in
preventing many diseases, including cardio-
vascular disease and some forms of cancer.
Antioxidants work by attacking free radicals.
These free radicals are the result of various
biological and environmental processes; they
roam throughout the body and exert destruc-
tive effects on the cells, thereby causing dis-
ease. Antioxidants "mop up" the damage
done in our bodies by free radicals.
Lipoic add appears to be superior to the
other antioxidants. It destroys both water-sol-
