I posted about a month ago about how there are so many companies out there pushing their nutritional juice and that most of them have preservatives.  Well, I received an email this morning from my upline about a comparison between our product, Ciaga, with a competing product.  I won’t name the other company because my point isn’t to bash them and their product, but to point out that you really need to watch out when preservatives are involved.

It turns out that their product includes Sodium Benzoate, a preservative, which can react with the high Vitamin C content to produce Benzene.  Benzene is an organic solvent that is known to cause cancer and liver damage.  I recommend that when you are going to put something in your body, you read the label first and see what it is.  Reconsider products with artificial ingredients because you never know how they will react with the other chemicals added, or the food itself.  Consider 100% natural or,  better yet, organic alternatives that contain only what is advertised and promote better living.

Our product, Ciaga, is 100% natural containing 97% juices and 3% fruit solids.  It contains no preservatives, added sugar, or added water.

BTW, I also found out that added water means “reconstituted from dried fruit powder”.  Ciaga is definitely NOT reconstituted.

I have my Ciaga, do you?

Have you ever noticed how there are a ton of nutritional juice products out there all claiming to be the best?  Xango, Goji, Vemma, Ciaga, Mona Vie.  I know there are plenty more.  I recently had two people from a company that was new to me want me take a look at their product.  Sure enough, it was a juice product.

When looking at a new drink I always go straight for the nutritional label.  I want to know what’s in it.  The things that always concern me is added water, usually purified by reverse osmosis (highly acidic), and added preservatives.  They aren’t added because they are good for you.

I promote Ciaga, an organic juice with no added water, no preservatives, and a high ORAC (antioxidant) rating.  Until someone can show me another juice that compares with that, I’m going to stick with my Ciaga.  I only need to take one ounce a day, it is sweet, and my kids love it.  What more could you ask for?

Have you had your Ciaga today?

Have you had your nutritionals today?

There are a lot of wellness companies that promote nutritional products.  You probably know at least a few that sell some kind of juice, such as Monavie or Xango.  The problem with these companies in my opinion is that is all they sell, just one product.  Nikken has a fairly wide selection of nutritional supplements that target very specific areas, such as liver support, bone density, or immunity.

I want to talk about three of Nikken’s core nutritional products, Ciaga (a high antioxidant juice),  Jade GreenZymes (young green barley grass powder), and Immunity (a blend of 14 mushrooms with immunity boosting properties) and the effect they have had on my kids.

I have 2 young kids who are very healthy and almost never get sick, even during flu season.  They don’t get flu shots and are in preschool with other kids who seem to be sick all the time.  If they do get a little sick it is only a minor fever and congestion that lasts only a day or so.  I credit that to Nikken’s nutritional products, namely Ciaga juice, Jade Greenzymes barley grass, and the Immunity supplement.

For them we mix their nutritionals together into a “cocktail” that they seem to love.  It doesn’t take much, just an ounce of Ciaga, a teaspoon of barley grass, and the powder from one Immunity capsule stirred together with a little water.  My son will even run his finger around the inside of the cup to get the last drops out.  We do this once a day and it does a great job of keeping them healthy.
