Questions about Vemma
Why mangosteen?
Who could refuse the "Queen of Fruits?" In addition to being one of the best tasting fruits in the world, mangosteen has superior nutritional and antioxidant properties capable of producing a wide range of benefits. These benefits enhance many of the body's health-promoting capabilities.* It's believed to have been used traditionally by natural health providers for thousands of years and modern science has recently begun to understand its incredible nutrient-rich value.
Is it true that the group of mangosteen compounds that have been studied the most is xanthones?
It is true. This particular class of plant nutrients are highly, biologically active and are unique because they possess very potent antioxidant properties.* Of all the known sources for xanthones, the mangosteen fruit supplies some of the highest amounts found in all of nature.
Why supplement with Vemma?
Vemma is a powerful, bioavailable (body-ready) formulation containing 12 full-spectrum vitamins and over 65 major, trace and ultra-trace plant-sourced minerals in a base of antioxidant-rich, whole fruit mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) and pericarp (rind), organic glyconutrient-rich aloe vera and decaffeinated organic green tea. This proprietary formula is quite possibly the most powerful liquid antioxidant product available anywhere.
Why minerals?
Minerals are amazing! They're amazing because even in infinitesimal amounts these nutrients can produce unexplainable, beneficial changes in body chemistry.* Minerals are nutrients required by the body to help facilitate a multitude of biochemical and physiologic processes necessary for the maintenance of life.*
Why plant-sourced minerals?
Plant-sourced minerals come from Mother Nature herself! Here's how it works: plants assimilate minerals from the soil they are embedded in and in the process they become highly nutritious for humans to eat. Actually, minerals can be found in nearly all foods that are grown in soil. The problem now is that food processing, chemical fertilizers and overused croplands make it nearly impossible to get a wide spectrum of minerals from our diets.
What is organic glyconutrient-rich aloe vera and why is it important?
Aloe vera is a plant that originated in Africa and has been used for centuries because of its versatility and life supporting properties.* It is comprised of several important constituents including beneficial minerals, vitamins and polysaccharides. In addition, glycobiology researchers have recently discovered that the aloe plant contains beneficial dietary sugars called glyconutrients. Each bottle of Vemma contains organic glyconutrient-rich aloe vera, which adds multi-faceted benefits that can have a positive impact on one's daily dietary regime.*
Why is organic decaffeinated green tea important?
Green tea is well studied and documented for its traditional use and healing ability.* Organic decaffeinated green tea is added to the Vemma formula because it possesses numerous compounds that provide additional antioxidant protection and health-enhancing properties.* We elect to use a decaffeinated source to keep our consumers’ best interests in mind, since some people may be sensitive to caffeine.
Which minerals are included in the Vemma mineral blend?
The Vemma formula contains over 65 major, trace and ultra-trace minerals. Because we source our minerals from naturally occurring vegetation, the level of individual minerals may vary slightly from batch to batch. The Vemma formula proprietary mineral blend contains the following minerals:
Carbon (Organic), Calcium, Sodium, Sulfur, Magnesium, Chloride, Bromide, Fluorine, Iodine, Potassium, Niobium, Aluminum, Iron, Phosphorus, Silica, Manganese, Boron, Strontium, Titanium, Tungsten, Copper, Zinc, Tin, Zirconium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, Chromium, Selenium, Nickel, Cobalt, Lithium, Gallium, Barium, Yttrium, Neodymium, Hafnium, Cadmium, Thorium, Antimony, Cerium, Tellurium, Beryllium, Samarium, Dysprosium, Erbium, Bismuth, Gadolinium, Cesium, Lanthanum, Praseodymium, Europium, Lutetium, Terbium, Ytterbium, Holmium, Thallium, Thulium, Tantalum, Germanium, Gold, Platinum, Rhodium, Rubidium, Ruthenium, Scandium, Silver and Indium.
Questions about Vemma THIRST™
What is Vemma THIRST?
The core of Vemma THIRST is the same as the clinically proven Vemma formula, which makes it easy to get the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants you need to form a solid nutritional foundation.* It also contains beneficial electrolytes, carbohydrates, amino acids and other key nutrients to help support optimal hydration and recovery.*
Who should drink Vemma THIRST?
Vemma THIRST is designed for most age groups and activity levels. It's particularly beneficial for those leading active lifestyles, athletes, those who exercise, people residing in hot climates and at high elevations, or anyone who is thirsty. Vemma THIRST is also ideal for travelers or people looking for the convenience of a small, lightweight packet that's easy to transport.
Is it necessary to take a multivitamin if I am also drinking Vemma THIRST?
If you are drinking Vemma THIRST, there is no need to take a multivitamin supplement. We suggest consulting with your doctor or an educated health care professional, such as a nutritionist or dietitian if you have additional questions.
What are the Vemma THIRST usage instructions?
For adults, mix one packet into 16 ounces of cold, purified water, and for children, mix a half of a packet using 8 ounces of cold, purified water. Shake well and often.
How should I store Vemma THIRST?
Store in the original box in a cool, dry place.
How much sugar is in Vemma THIRST and where does it come from?
There are 20 grams of sugar in one serving of Vemma THIRST, a little more than what is found in one large apple. The sugar source is organic evaporated cane juice.
Why use organic evaporated cane juice?
Some will tell you it's considered one of the healthiest alternatives to refined sugar. While both sweeteners are derived from sugar cane, evaporated cane juice does not undergo the same degree of processing that refined sugar does. Therefore, unlike refined sugar, it retains more of the nutrients found in sugar cane. In addition, it's an excellent source of carbohydrates, necessary for those with an active lifestyle.
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are minerals that support proper hydration. They create electrically charged particles (ions) in fluids inside the body. These ions carry the electrical energy necessary for many functions, including nerve impulse transmission and muscle contractions.* For optimal performance your body requires an adequate supply of these important nutrients. Vemma's THIRST provides an ultra-hydrating blend of the electrolytes: calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium.
Why are carbohydrates important?
Why are carbohydrates important? Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for your body during all levels of activity and exercise. Dietary carbohydrates directly contribute to your body's maintenance of carbohydrate reserves.* When you consume carbohydrates, you may experience increased stamina and exercise performance.*
Why are amino acids in Vemma THIRST?
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. When you include them in your daily supplement regime, they help support greater fitness and higher performance.* Amino acids can also aid in recovery after a challenging and active day.*
If Vemma is liquid, how is it that the Vemma formula can be put in a powder form?
Vemma's premium manufacturing standards guarantee the integrity of antioxidant-rich Vemma nutrition formula is maintained through a number of quality controls. This is accomplished by utilizing a unique and proprietary manufacturing process to protect all ingredients. Vemma uses the entire mangosteen fruit, including the rind where powerful xanthones are concentrated. The mangosteen is carefully sectioned and air-dried in a sterile environment. Then it's pulverized into a fine powder through a complex combination of sonic waves and high-pressure air. This meticulous and scientific process safeguards the Vemma formula to ensure, when mixed with water, Vemma THIRST delivers the same level of efficacy, quality and potency you know and trust.
Which minerals are included in the Vemma mineral blend?
The Vemma formula contains over 65 major, trace and ultra-trace minerals. Because we source our minerals from naturally occurring vegetation, the level of individual minerals may vary slightly from batch to batch. The Vemma formula proprietary mineral blend contains the following minerals:
