In the ever increasing race to find the perfect Super Fruit drink as a dietary supplement, here is some new and interesting information:

Cheap Juice Fillers: Apple juice, pear juice and grape juice are referred to as “fillers” by industry professionals, everyone from the juice suppliers to the bottlers. These are cheap juices used to “fill” the bottle and add very little nutritional value. Many drinks just use these cheap fillers to sweeten the taste as well as to keep costs down.

Number of Fruit Ingredients: The more fruits you include in a drink, the smaller the amount each fruit will have to be to fit into that drink. This results in a drink that is less potent containing less of the beneficial fruit that makes up that drink. The truly effective supplement drink will include a large percentage of the main ingredient with very few additional fruits to add flavor. That ideal supplement drink is AlpineV with alpine sandthorn berry, guanabana (pronounced gwa-nah-buh-nah ), watermelon and pomegranate.

Preservatives: Intelligence reveals there are very few super fruit drinks that are bottled preservative free. AlpineV is preservative free. There are 3 good reasons for this; formula, technology and cost.

Formula: A true health drink should be preservative free. Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent by companies trying to develop a preservative free version of their blend. The result is, they can’t do it. Many of the juices they are using in their formula do not coexist well without the aid of preservatives curbing yeast, mold and bacterial growth. Companies do not want to give up their fillers so they are left with a formula that must be aided by preservatives. The claim is they chose not to go preservative free. The real truth is they can’t.

Technology: The technology of preservative free bottling is not available to most in-house bottlers mostly because of cost.

Cost: When preservative free bottling is an option but not chosen, it is usually because the company does not want higher costs. Their margins would be reduced if they had to switch bottlers, or pay for the preservative free process, or use glass instead of plastic bottles. Whatever the case, the choice is based primarily upon cost.

Potency: The true potency regarding the main ingredient of most super fruit juices are hidden because of the water content is high. Investigation reveals many of these drinks have 2-20% of the bottle as the main ingredient, with water as high as 75% of the bottle. Users are led to believe more than half the bottle is filled with the main ingredient and no water is added. This is untrue because these drinks are made from purees and concentrates that must add water to be reconstituted. A juices containing the Alpine Sandthorn Berry is 42% alpine sandthorn berry puree (25 grams per 2 ounce serving) with water as a distant second ingredient. Nobody is more potent than this drink.

Super-Fruit Nutrients: Each of these super-fruits can provide great benefits to the body with sufficient potency.If the potency was equal among the super fruit drinks, the alpine sandthorn berry provides the highest and most dense complete spectrum of nutrients. None of the other fruits comes close.

Research: The US government’s National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health has a website; www.pubmed.gov which is an excellent resource to get good information on the studies done on so called super fruits. The alpine sandthorn berry is best represented in the research.
