Cyvex Nutrition continues to strengthen its position as a leader and expert in providing super antioxidants you can trust. Re-engineering our antioxidant portfolio with a strong marketing message, “The Red and Green Teams,” we continue to add players to each roster.
Latest and greatest additions to the Red Team include BerryVin Plus, NLT 6000 ORAC; BioVin® Advanced, French Red Wine Extract with 5% resveratrol; Black Currant, 25% anthocyanins; and Black Raspberry, 5% polyphenols and 2–3% anthocyanins. These superfruit powders have been developed in direct response to news reports and demand by the nutritional supplement industry.
New drafts to the Green Team are BroccoPhanine, 6% sulforaphane glucosinolates; and VitaVeggie, a vegetable blend boasting High ORAC, including glucosinolates, sulforaphane, lycopene and lutein. Who says you have to eat carrots and Brussels sprouts?

SUPERFRUIT PARADISE
 |
Superfruit antioxidants are the talk of the industry and the buzz among health-conscious consumers. Cyvex is introducing VitaTropic™, an innovative ingredient combining the power of five superfruit tropical plant extracts: noni, acai, mangosteen, pomegranate and quebracho.
Noni is a South Pacific tropical fruit rich in nutrients. The magic “energy” fruit acai, a purple Brazilian berry from the Amazon region, is abundant in anthocyanins, essential amino acids, unsaturated (healthy) fatty acids, dietary fiber, phytosterols and other powerful phytonutrients. Mangosteen, meanwhile, is called “the Queen of Fruits” and is rich in xanthones—potent antioxidants studied recently for their medicinal potential. Pomegranate, the ancient “fruit of life,” possesses powerful polyphenolic antioxidants, ellagitannins, including punicalagins and ellagic acid. Finally, quebracho extract comes from the bark of the quebracho tree, native to Peru and Argentina, and is rich in tannins (plant polyphenols—strong natural antioxidants).
VitaTropic is standardized to NLT 6000 ORAC. For more information, visit www.cyvex.com. |

CHIROSITOL™
A >95% D-chiro-inositol, extracted from carob pods, is a member of a family of naturally occurring myo-inositols structurally similar to glucose. D-chiro-inositol mimics the insulin activity, enabling it to control blood glucose within normal levels.*
D-chiro-inositol has been found to be effective as a carbohydrate moderator increasing the transport and reception of glucose into the muscle cells, stimulating glycogen synthesis in the muscle and enhancing muscle volume. This function, combined with its ability to increase the uptake and retention of creatine, makes it ideally suited as an ingredient in sports nutrition.*
