A food (which includes beverages) is recognized as bioactive when the body can digest it and make use of not just to satisfy basic nutritional needs but also brings about physiological health benefits that truly better an individual’s health. Major sources of bioactive food ingredients are found in vegetables and fruit.
A Bioactive Beverage utilizes these types of phytonutients in a liquid form for healthful effects. Research has shown that not every bioactive drinks are exactly the same. Some popular juices that are made from acai, gac or mangosteen fruit, among others, contain carotenoids and flavonoids. Although healthful, flavonoids and betacarotene quickly degrade when they come in contact with heat and light. As an example it was observed that after 30 days storage at room temperature the acai fruit pulp’s flavonoids lose up to 35% of their stability and 80% after four months.
One bioactive beverage which maintains its potency is Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages. Years of studies have demonstrated that the noni fruit, particularly those grown in the French Polynesian Islands have many unique bioactive compounds. These bioactive compounds are very soluble enabling them to easily travel throughout the body by the bloodstream where they are utilized by cells. Altogether, Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages include 12 unique nutrients classified as iridoids that happen to be a key component in its ensuing health benefits. Fourteen Human clinical trials testing Tahitian Noni® Bioactive Beverages have already been done in these subject areas: Immune Function, Energy and Endurance, Cardiovascular Health, Joint Health, Antioxidant Protection
