How Antioxidants, Superfoods and their Nutrients Heal Us By Dr. Millie Lytle ND, MPH, CNS

Antioxidants are natural or synthetic substances that may delay, prevent or heal cellular damage by reducing agents that harm cells (called free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS)). Antioxidants are naturally found in many plant foods and are also available as complexes or individual nutrients

Product Spotlight: BlueGranate Tx®

BlueGranate Tx®, one of InVite® Health’s popular liquid tinctures, provides extracts from two of nature’s most powerful fruits, the blueberry and the pomegranate. BlueGranate Tx® is an organic, powerful blend of anthocyanidins, proanthocyanidins, ellagic acid and catechins, all natural ingredients found in both the blueberry and the pomegranate. These ingredients help boost antioxidant protection throughout the entire body.

With InVite®’s exclusive BlueGranate Tx®, these combined nutrients help buffer the body from cellular damage, protect your genes from stress, support memory and circulation, and mediate the normal inflammatory response. This product tastes great and contains no carbs, sugars or alcohol. Just two droppers of BlueGranate Tx® per day contain the equivalent of three servings of fruits and vegetables!

Try it alone or in our delicious Detox Smoothie!

  • 3 dropperfuls of BlueGranate Tx®
  • 1 scoop of Greens Hx®
  • ¾ cup of carrot or grapefruit juice
  • 4 pineapple chunks
  • 1 sprig of parsley
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 3 drops of Tabasco
  • 18 fl oz. (2 ¼ cups) of ice

What are the benefits of tinctures over pills?
Our liquid tinctures have been created to deliver the maximum health benefits of natural ingredients in a pleasant-tasting, easy-to-swallow liquid formula. Convenient, portable and easy to use, InVite® tinctures improve your body’s absorption of essential nutrients. Our tinctures are an enjoyable alternative to pills and capsules, especially for those who dislike conventional pills or have trouble taking supplements in tablet or capsule form. Just 2 droppers full of our exclusive line of liquid tinctures can be mixed into water or another beverage for an instant, nutrient-packed health booster. Unlike many liquid herbal products that are extracted in a grain alcohol base, our sweet-tasting tinctures are glycerin-based – this makes them a great choice for anyone avoiding glucose.

Are tinctures safe for children?
Our fruit-derived tinctures like BlueGranate Tx® are excellent supplements to provide vital antioxidants to children. Even our Green Tea Tx® and White Tea Tx® are healthy for most children and have been shown to support young immune systems.

Why are some nutrients available as tinctures while others are not?
We’re committed to developing a wide range of nutrients in liquid tincture form for our customers. However, some dietary ingredients and nutrients may not be suitable as tinctures if they:

  • Remain more stable in a dry format
  • Have a poor taste in liquid
  • Require too large a serving size to fit in a dropper
  • Require chemicals or emulsifiers to mix them

Tropical Reds Smoothie

1 scoop of Reds Hx®  powder

12 oz. Pineapple Juice

½ cup Frozen Mango

½ cup Crushed Ice

Some of the beneficial components of Reds Hx® include acai, gogi, bilberry, cranberry, papaya, mangosteen and black currants. Other powerful ingredients in Reds Hx® are apple pectin, cherries, black raspberries, and grape seed extract. Grape seed extract provides your body with flavonoids called Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins, or OPCs, which have been known to have health properties that support the immune system on the skin, in the intestines, arteries and heart, when faced with challenges. Grape Seed Extract has also been shown to be protective in mediating inflammatory pathways, thereby improving circulation and reducing puffiness.

Reds Hx® continues to supply a balanced supply of food-based antioxidants such as Astaxanthin and FloraGLO®-brand Lutein for the eyes. Another ingredient called Polygonum Cuspidatum, or knotweed plant, supplies the body with 10mg of Reservatrol per serving, which is a helpful antioxidant sometimes sourced from red wine. It is renowned for its role in artery and circulatory health, as well as its ability to alter the SIRT1 gene expression. Resveratrol protects cells and organs over the long term, even for future generations. Lycopene, Vitamins C and E, Riboflavin, Fiber, and a powerful probiotic blend round out the mixture of potent antioxidants, vitamins and minerals in Reds Hx®.
