FIX Energy Tea - Ingredients

Matcha (Camellia sinensis)
The greatest of green teas with 137 times the antioxidants of regular green tea. Celebrated for hundreds of years for its unique and abundant nutritional properties. Steeped in the rich tradition of the zen buddhist ceremonies of Japan. Ground into a fine, emerald-green powder, matcha is whisked with water to create a unique, beautiful and flavourful drink.

Raises energy. Elevates mood. Calms nerves. 70x the antioxidants of orange juice and 9x the beta-carotene of spinach.

Antioxidants are found in many foods including fruits and vegetables.  There are many types of antioxidants, however, the class known as catechins are only found in green tea, and these may be the most potent of all. And of the catechins,  EGCG (epicgallocatechin gallate) is the catechin with broadest and most potent properties.  Sixty percent of the catechin content of matcha is EGCG.

Blueberry (Vaccinium cyanococcus)
Rich in vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene as well as rich in the minerals potassium, manganese and magnesium. Blueberries provide antioxidants anthocyanins, chlorogenic acid, pterostilbene, ellagic acid as well as catechins and resveratrol.

Cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccos)
In study after study, cranberries are coming out at or near the top of the antioxidant heap. They are particularly rich in polyphenols, and have a lot of other helpful phytochemicals as well. These chemicals probably explain some of the studies showing cranberries' health benefits, including prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections, help prevent bacteria from causing food-borne illness, may help prevent tooth decay, may help prevent atherosclerosis, may improves blood vessel function in people with atherosclerosis, may help raise HDL (good) cholesterol or lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Grape Seed Extract (Vitis vinifera)
Source of bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are powerful antioxidants, helping the body to fight the damaging and aging effects of free radicals. One of the most powerful bioflavonoids is leucoanthocyanin. Large concentrations of this bioflavonoid are found in the seeds of the purple grape, making grape seed extract an excellent antioxidant as well as a free radical scavenger. The leucoanthocyanins in grape seed extract may improve the strength of the blood vessels, including varicose veins. They have also shown to suppress allergy symptoms by inhibiting the release of histamines into the tissues, to improve vision while helping prevent age-related and diabetic cataracts and to maintain youthful skin tone by helping repair damaged collagen.

Black Currant (Ribes nigrum)
High antioxidant and vitamin content. In particular, they're very rich in Vitamin C. Black currants also contain several rare nutrients, like GLA ( Gamma Linoleic Acid, Omega-6 essential fatty acid) and MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors).

 

Pomegranate (Punica granatum)
Contains very high punicalagin content. Punicalagin is an extremely potent antioxidant found to be responsible for the fruit's superior health benefits. They are also a good source of vitamin B (riboflavin, thiamin and niacin), vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus.

 

Apple Pectin (Malus domestica heteropolysaccharide)
A dietary fiber, apple pectin is helpful in maintaining good digestive health. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that apple pectin also acts as an antioxidant against the damaging portion of cholesterol in the blood stream. It has been established that a diet rich in apple pectin may help protect against certain diseases. Research in Japan supports that apple pectin can also decrease the chances of colon cancer. Apple pectin helps maintain intestinal balance by cleansing the intestinal tract with its soluble and insoluble fibers.

Red Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng)
Red ginseng contains ginsenosides and saponins as active ingredients. In addition to ginsenosides, red ginseng also contains glycans (panaxans), polysaccharide fraction DPG-3-2, peptides, maltol, B vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oil. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine Panax Ginseng promotes Yang energy, improves circulation, increases blood supply, revitalizes and aids recovery from weakness after illness, and stimulates the body. These beliefs have been reinforced by numerous scientific studies. Among its benefits it is believed to enhance the immune system, possibly helping the body fight off infection and disease as well as it helps the body fight off free radicals. Athletes often take red ginseng to boost both endurance and strength and it has been found to reduce fatigue.

Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus)
A species of small, woody shrub in the family Araliaceae native to Northeastern Asia. In Chinese medicine it is known as cì wǔ jiā. It is commonly called eleuthero, and was previously marketed in the United States as Siberian Ginseng.

Eleuthero active ingredients that have been most studied are the eleutherosides. Seven primary eleutherosides have been identified, with most of the research attention focusing on eleutherosides B and E. Eleuthero also contains complex polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules). These constituents may play a critical role in eleuthero’s ability to support immune function.Eleuthero is an “adaptogen” (an agent that helps the body adapt to stress). It is thought to help support adrenal gland function when the body is challenged by stress.Eleuthero has been shown to enhance mental acuity and physical endurance without the letdown that comes with caffeinated products. Research has shown that eleuthero improves the use of oxygen by the exercising muscle. This means that a person is able to maintain aerobic exercise longer and recover from workouts more quickly.

Acai Berry (Euterpe oleracea)
Acai berry grows in the Amazon river regions of South America. Native peoples of that area used the acai berries as a source of nutrition but also as a source for healing sicknesses and in topical applications as well. Acai berry was tested for its ORAC value and was found to be astonishing. It had some of the highest ORAC values of all edible plants! Acai berry is full of antioxidants, monounsaturated fats, essential amino acids, protein, broad selection of vitamins and minerals and a dietary fiber. Its benefits are many and range from reducing inflammation and swelling to improving vision and mental focus.

Goji Berry (Lycium chinense)
Used for 6,000 years by herbalists in China, Tibet and India to to protect the liver, help eyesight, improve sexual function and fertility, strengthen the legs, boost immune function, improve circulation and promote longevity. It is rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. Research has also shown that Goji berry is a great source of polysaccharides that are necessary for immune system function.

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana)
For centuries, those in Southeast Asia have revered the mangosteen, both for its flavor and the suggestion that it promotes good health. The whole mangosteen fruit—especially the xanthone-packed pericarp or rind—has been used traditionally to treat a variety of health conditions, actually. As early as 600 AD, scribes recorded the use of the mangosteen in the support and maintenance of good health. Mangosteen fruit is rich in xanthones, which may promote healthy bodily function. In addition, mangosteen contains fiber.

Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis)
A species of holly (family Aquifoliaceae) native to subtropical South America in northeastern Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and southern Brazil. The infusion called mate is prepared by steeping dry leaves (and twigs) of yerba mate in hot water, rather than in boiling water like some teas. Drinking mate with friends from a shared hollow gourd (also called a guampa or mate in Spanish, or cabaça or cuia in Portuguese) with a metal straw (a bombilla in Spanish, bomba in Portuguese) is a common social practice in South America. Mate contains three xanthines: caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. Preliminary evidence that the mate xanthine cocktail is different from other plants containing caffeine most significantly in its effects on muscle tissue, as opposed to those on the central nervous system, which are similar to those of other natural stimulants. The three xanthines present in mate have been shown to have a relaxing effect on smooth muscle tissue, and a stimulating effect on myocardial (heart) tissue. Mate also contains elements such as potassium, magnesium and manganese.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
A great source of vitamins A, D, E and K and also provides significant amounts of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium. It contains more protein than most plants. Alfalfa also provides eight essential amino acids. Herbalists have dubbed it the “Great Healer.” Since alfalfa contains hundreds of biologically active compounds, it is difficult to analyze and determine exactly what benefits may result from any particular element. In Chinese and Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine alfalfa has been traditionally used for digestive problems for thousands of years. The primary attributes attributed to alfalfa are as an anti-inflammatory, diuretic, nutritive, phytoestrogenic and tonic.

Beet Extract (Beta vulgaris)
Research has shown many health benefits for beets. However, one of the most significant is to improve blood circulation.

The beet has the power to lower the acidity level in the blood which is important for health, plus it helps get rid of impurities in the blood so it can flow more easily through the arteries and deliver only oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Beets are also a good source of many nutrients, including folic acid.

Ginkgo Biloba (Ginkgo biloba)
Also known as the Maidenhair Tree, it is a unique species of tree with no close living relatives. The ginko is also a "living fossil", with fossils recognizably related to modern Ginkgo dating back 270 million years. Ginkgo leaves contain flavonoid glycosides and terpenoids (ginkgolides, bilobalides) and have been used pharmaceutically. It is believed to have nootropic properties, and is mainly used as memory and concentration enhancer, and anti-vertigo agent.

Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis)
Grown only in a small area in the region of the Western Cape province of South Africa. It has potent antioxidant, immune-modulating and chemopreventive effects. Traditional medicinal uses of rooibos in South Africa include alleviating infantile colic, allergies, asthma and dermatological problems. Rooibos is becoming more popular in Western countries particularly among health-conscious consumers, due to its high level of antioxidants such as aspalathin and nothofagin, its lack of caffeine, and its low tannin levels compared to fully oxidized black tea or unoxidized green tea leaves.Rooibos also contains a number of phenolic compounds, including Aspalathin, Nothofagin, Caffeic Acid, Chrysoeriol, Isoquercitrin, Orientin, Isoorientin, Luteolin, Vitexin, Isovitexin, Luteolin, Rutin, Flavonoids, Quercetin, Polyphenols . It is also the only known source of the phytochemical Aspalathin. Rooibos may assist with nervous tension, allergies and digestive problems.

Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana)
Commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. For centuries, the Guaraní tribes of Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil used stevia, which they called ka'a he'ê ("sweet herb"), as a sweetener in yerba mate and medicinal teas for treating heartburn and other ailments. With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Medical research has also shown possible benefits of stevia in treating obesity and high blood pressure. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets.

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid or L-ascorbate)
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for humans and certain other animal species, in which it functions as a vitamin. In living organisms, ascorbate is an anti-oxidant, since it protects the body against oxidative stress. It is also a cofactor in at least eight enzymatic reactions, including several collagen synthesis reactions. Trauma or injury has also been demonstrated to use up large quantities of vitamin C in humans.
