In 2000, a research team studying obesity at the Charlottenlund Medical Center in Denmark, tested an herbal preparation of Yerba Maté, Guarana, and Damiana (YGD) for gastric emptying and subsequent weight loss. They concluded that the herbal preparation, YGD capsules, significantly delayed gastric emptying, reduced the time to perceived gastric fullness and induced significant weight loss over 45 days in overweight patients treated in a primary health care context. In addition, maintenance treatment given in an uncontrolled context resulted in no further weight loss, nor weight regain in the group as a whole.
Helps Relieve Allergies - Linda Rector Page, N.D., Ph.D., notes that yerba maté is helpful in opening respiratory passages to overcome allergy symptoms. Shown to reduce the severity of some allergies and hay fever, yerba maté works by stimulating the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids, which help suppress the inflammation and immune response due to allergies. A recently filed US Patent (2002) cites yerba maté for inhibiting monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity by 40-50% in vitro. The underlying study suggests that maté might be useful for treating a variety of disorders such as. . . "depression, disorders of attention and focus, mood and emotional disorders, Parkinson's disease, extrapyramidal disorders, hypertension, substance abuse, eating disorders, withdrawal syndromes, and the cessation of smoking."

Cupuacu - The "Taste of the Amazon"
The final superfood treasure found in Fruta Vida is the cupuacu fruit, also harvested in the Amazon rainforest. This delicious fruit happens to be a potent health resource, as well. It contains unique antioxidant phytonutrients called polyphenols.
The Cupuacu fruit grows on the Cupuacu tree, which is a small to medium tree in the Rainforest canopy that belongs to the Cocoa family and can reach up to 20 meters in height. Cupuacu fruit has been a primary food source in the Rainforest for both indigenous peoples and animals alike.
The Cupuacu fruit is known for its creamy exotic tasting pulp. The pulp is used throughout Brazil and Peru to make fresh juice, ice cream, jam and tarts. The fruit ripens in the rainy months from January to April and is considered a culinary delicacy in South American cities.
Indigenous peoples, as well as local communities along the Amazon, have cultivated Cupuacu as a primary food source for generations. In former times, Cupuacu seeds were traded along the Rio Negro and Upper Orinoco rivers where indigenous people drink Cupuacu juice after it has been blessed by a shaman to facilitate difficult births. The "beans", are utilized by the indigenous Tikuna people for abdominal pains.
Cupuacu also has a unique type of polyphenols called theograndins. Theograndins have potent antioxidant activity and provide cardiovascular protective and immune supportive benefits. Yet, everyday brings new findings of other advantages of theograndins that are unique to cupuacu. For example, in tests on particular cancer lines, theograndins were uniquely effective at killing colon cancer cells. Research is underway to determine whether cupuacu or isolated theograndins have a place in modern cancer therapy. According to Dr. Klein, the Top 5 reasons to make cupuacu a regular part of your diet, include...
1. Increased ability to fight disease and cancer.
2. More youthful and healthier looking skin and hair.
3. Lower cholesterol levels.
4. Increased libido and stamina.
5. A cell-protective antioxidant cocktail.
