Join us as we delve into the colorful world of RedFruits Fusion25™, where every serving is a step closer to vibrant health and vitality.
The power of super fruits
Packed with 15 organic super fruits, RedFruits Fusion25™ is brimming with benefits, from antioxidant powers to anti-inflammatory properties, all without having to consume 15 separate fruit varieties.
Fruit is an essential aspect of the human diet, but the truth is, not everyone eats enough of it, leaving them at risk of nutritional deficiencies, low energy, poor digestion, and even obesity.
Research published in the journal Circulation found that people who ate 5 servings of fruit or vegetables per day compared to those who ate two, were:
- 13% less likely to die from any cause
- 12% less likely to die from heart disease or stroke
- 10% less likely to die from cancer
- 35% less likely to die from respiratory disease[i]
These natural plant-based foods are major sources of nutrients that promote good health, can fight off disease, and protect the body from damage. So, in a time, when nutrition may not always be top of the list, RedFruits Fusion25™ can deliver the nutrition needed to power the body to optimal health.
Unleashing the antioxidant benefits of beetroot, strawberry, and cranberry
The body is under constant threat from invading pathogens, the food we eat, and even environmental substances. Another is free radicals, unstable molecules which, if allowed to increase in number, can cause harm. Free radicals are linked to several illnesses, like cancer and heart disease[ii].
To keep these in check, the body has antioxidant defense mechanisms that it can unleash to neutralize the circulating free radicals. But antioxidants are found in high numbers in natural foods like fruit and vegetables, too.
Strawberries, for example, are believed to have one of the highest contents of ascorbic acid, more commonly known as vitamin C[iii]. Vitamin C has high antioxidant activity and is well known for its supportive role in the immune system. Research has shown that vitamin C can prevent and treat both respiratory and systemic infections[iv].
Beetroot is also renowned for its antioxidant content. It is a source of nitrate, which can act as an antioxidant agent[v], but it also contains potent betalains that can scavenge free radicals. The nitrate content of beetroot means it may help to prevent and manage high blood pressure[vi].
Cranberries also contain potent bioactive molecules that have strong antioxidant activity, called polyphenols[vii]. Cranberries are rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids which have been demonstrated to effective against urinary tract infections[viii]. That’s not all, cranberry products, thanks to their high polyphenol content, can also have protective benefits for the heart. A study involving 45 healthy men who were assigned either to a 1-month daily consumption of 9g cranberry powder or a placebo, found that cranberries improve vascular function[ix].
Unlocking the secrets of eye health and cognitive function with goji berry, green apple, and blueberry powder
As we get older, some of the most noticeable effects of aging are our diminishing eyesight and cognition. But nestled within nature are some compounds that can help to slow or maybe even reverse this process.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the third leading cause of blindness in the world. Natural pigments called lutein and zeaxanthin can protect against the disease, which can be found in some fruits and vegetables. A pilot study by Li et al., (2021) found that the consumption of 28g of goji berries 5 times a week for 90 days increased macular pigment optical density, a biomarker for AMD. That means goji berries could help to prevent or delay the onset of the eye condition[x].
The high antioxidant content of blueberries has also been shown to help slow down eye conditions like retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration[xi]. However, blueberries have also recently been found to improve cognitive function in healthy, older adults[xii].
Apples are also crammed with nutrients that may support your cognition. Apples contain pro-neurogenic compounds like quercetin and catechins, that are known to boost brain health[xiii]. In mouse studies, quercetin can improve cognitive functioning[xiv].
Cherry, pineapple, and pomegranate for inflammation and muscle recovery
Cherries are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. A 2013 study involving 58 non-diabetics with knee osteoarthritis, aimed to assess the effectiveness of tart cherry juice in treating pain and other features of the condition. The results found that consuming two 8 oz bottles of tart cherry juice every day for six weeks, provided some symptom relief for knee osteoarthritis[xv].
But cherries can also aid post-workout recovery because they are naturally rich in potassium. Research has shown that tart cherry juice can reduce pain and quicken strength recovery after exercise. It also reduces inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers[xvi].
Pomegranates can also aid muscle recovery according to a study by Ammar et al., (2016). They found that elite weightlifters, consuming pomegranate juice during their weightlifting session and for 48 hours, experience reduced muscle soreness and pain, which accelerates their recovery and improves their weightlifting performance[xvii].
Pineapples are also great for inflammation because they contain a digestive enzyme, bromelain, which has both anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Research by Insuan et al., (2021) found that purified bromelain could potentially treat inflammatory diseases[xviii].
Banana, peach, and grape for a potassium boost and to support digestion
Bananas are the world’s most popular fruit[xix] but it’s crammed with nutrition as well as flavour. Unripe bananas are a good source of resistant starch, a type of prebiotic that nourishes good gut bacteria. They also contain a type of fibre, called pectin, which can help to bulk out stools and have anti-diarrheal effects[xx]. Plus, the high potassium and magnesium levels in bananas may support exercise recovery and help the body replenish some of the electrolytes lost during training.
Peaches are an excellent source of fiber, both insoluble and soluble[xxi]. Soluble fiber is an important nutrient for the gut microbiome, acting as a food source for beneficial bacteria. While grape powder has recently been shown to modify the composition of the gut microbiome, increasing health-promoting bacteria, like Akkermansia muciniphila[xxii].
Orange, mango and raspberry for immunity
Perhaps the biggest combined power of the RedFruits Fusion25™ supplement is its antioxidant delivery. Each of the fruits and vegetable powders combined in this product, contain potent antioxidants.
Franck et al., (2020) demonstrated that a daily consumption of 280g/day of frozen raspberries could have a positive impact on immune function[xxiii]. Oranges also support immunity because of their high vitamin C content which can lower inflammation, guide immune cells to the sight of infection, and instigate the production of antibodies[xxiv].
Mango, on the other hand, has high polyphenol levels and may possess anti-cancer properties. Some research has shown that mango polyphenols can have a chemotherapeutic effect against specific cancer types, including breast cancer[xxv].
The essential greens
To give RedFruits Fusion25™ Daily Reds & Fruits Blend an even bigger health kick, we’ve combined the 15 super fruits with 5 super greens, chosen especially for their powerful health benefits, which we’ve summarised below.
|
Super Green |
Unique health benefits |
|
Alfalfa grass |
Alfalfa is a fiber-rich food that may have cholesterol-lowering benefits and has been shown in rat studies to show promise for treating high blood fat levels[xxvi]. It also has powerful antioxidant properties which could prevent oxidative stress[xxvii]. |
|
Wheatgrass |
Wheatgrass has a diverse nutrient profile and has a high antioxidant content. Studies have shown that wheatgrass can reduce the effects of high-fat levels that are associated with oxidative stress[xxviii]. |
|
Barley grass |
Barley grass is the leaf of the barley plant and has been well-researched for its health benefits. Yu et al., (2002) found that barley leaf extract supplementation could scavenge oxygen-free radicals and may protect against vascular diseases in type 2 diabetes[xxix]. |
|
Kale |
Kale is a green leafy vegetable that’s packed with numerous vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it one of the most nutritious leafy vegetables available. |
|
Spirulina |
Spirulina is a popular green powder supplement because of its health benefits. It’s been associated with lowering the levels of total cholesterol, supporting gut health, reducing blood pressure, and helping manage anemia[xxx]. |
Five fibers for digestive wellness
Rounding off the RedFruits Fusion25™ Daily Reds & Fruits Blend is a select combination of five types of fiber. Delivering a mix of soluble and insoluble fiber, RedFruits Fusion25™supports both optimal digestion and a healthy gut microbiome.
Insoluble fibre
Insoluble fiber, a crucial component of a balanced diet, offers numerous health benefits primarily through its role in digestive health. Found in apples, white beans, and oats, it adds bulk to the stool, facilitating its passage through the digestive tract and preventing constipation.
Through the promotion of regular bowel movements, insoluble fiber maintains bowel health and reduces the risk of digestive disorders, like diverticulitis and hemorrhoids.
Additionally, insoluble fiber aids in weight management by enhancing the feeling of fullness after meals, which can prevent overeating. Incorporating insoluble fiber into the diet is a simple, effective way to support overall digestive wellness and maintain a healthy weight.
Soluble fibre
Soluble fiber, found in oats, legumes, fruits, and vegetables, offers significant health benefits, particularly for heart and metabolic health. It dissolves in water, forming a gel-like substance that slows digestion, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes[xxxi].
Soluble fiber also binds to cholesterol in the digestive system, aiding in its removal from the body and consequently lowering cholesterol levels[xxxii]. This reduction in cholesterol contributes to a decreased risk of heart disease.
Additionally, many soluble fibers promote a healthy gut microbiome because of their prebiotic effects that foster the growth of beneficial bacteria, contributing to a diverse microbiome[xxxiii].
