What is MAGNO ?

MAGNO health drink is a plant-based 100% vegetarian whole food nutritional supplement, proprietary liquid formula prepared to strict quality control norms using time-tested herbs and herbal extracts. Magno can be effectively used in maintaining health and in the prevention and management of various disorders. Magno is designed to become the dietary supplement to fulfill the need of vital antioxidants in out diet. Ingredients in Magno are know to process, collectively, more than 1000+ nutraceuticals.


What is MAGNO made up of ?

Magno combines the power of six well-researched herbal antioxidant ingredients viz. Magosteen Juice, Aloe Vera Juice, Goji Berry Juice, Green Tea Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Noni Fruit Juice, Other ingredients: Natural Sweetener, Fruit Flavor, Class II preservatives.


MAGNOSTEEN JUICE

Scientific Name :
Garcinia mangostana

Plant Part Used : Fruit




Magnosteen is a evergreen tree and its edible fruit is considered to be one of the best of all tropical fruits. Magnosteen contains many biologically active substances in significant quantities. The most important active substances in Magnosteen are thought to be the Xanthones-a unique, biologically active group of molecules. Xanthones are also known as "adaptagens" for their unique ability to adapt and assist the body in many areas of operations.Magnosteen is a herb with proven antioxidant activity.


GREEN TEA EXTRA

Scientific Name : Camellia sinensis
Plant Part Used : Leaves



Green Tea has been traditionally used for centuries to avail of its extremely beneficial health properties. Catechins are the most important components in Green Tea. Green Tea contains numerous active compounds like catechins, vitamin C, vitamin B complex, r-amino butyric acid, flavonoids, polysaccharides, fluoride, vitamin E and theanine (a kind of amino acid). Most of the undesirable side effects of Green Tea are due to the cafeine content in it. Green tea used in Magno has been specifically processed to contain negligible amount of caffeine.

This is the reason why Magno, in spite of having Green Tea, is free from the side effects of caffeine. By reducing the oxidative stress generated by free radicals, Green Tea displays a powerful antioxidant activity.


NONI FRUIT JUICE

Scientific Name : Morinda citrifolia
Plant Part Used : Fruit




Noni was one of the most popular tropical plants used in herbal remedies to maintain overall good health. The Noni fruit contains numerous biologically active compounds like Alkaloids, Polysaccharides, Scopoletin, Vitamins and Minerals, Damnacanthal, Morindin, Morindone and Glycosides to name a few Noni fruit contains a natural substance called Proceronine. This Proxeronine gets converted to Xeronine in the body. Xeronine is able to modify the molecular structure of proteins. Whenever a problem arises in the cell due to a protein structural problem, Xeronine's presence proves to be extremely beneficial. Noni fruit is a powder antioxidant.

ALOE VERA JUICE

Scientific Name : Aloe barbadensis
Plant Part Used : Inner Fillet




Aloe Vera plant has been used in different parts of the world for centuries. More than 200 biologically active, low and high molecular weight compounds belonging to various classes of chemicals have been identified from the Aloe leaf. Major constituents include carbohydrates (soluble sugars and polysaccharides). Minerals and malic acid, also characteristic for Aloe Vera, are found mainly in the gel. Other biologically important compounds include amino acids, organic acids and volatile compounds. Aloe Vera is a herb with proven antioxidant activity. Aloe Vera used in Magno has been certified by the International Aloe Science Council (IASC), USA for purity and does not contain aloin compounds. That is the reason why Magno does not produce abdominal pains or any of the undesirable side effects.


GOJI BERRY JUICE

Scientific Name : Lycium barbarum
Plant Part Used : Fruit




Goji Berry is a sweet herb famous for its immune system boosting property. Goji Berry contains 18 kinds of amino acid, numerous trace elements (zinc, iron copper etc.,) beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamins B, and B2, vitamin E; beta-sitosterol, linoleic acid (fatty acid), immunologically active polysaccharides, sesquiterpenoids (cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), betaine and many essential ingredients. Zeaxanthin is a major active component in Goji Berry. Goji berry shows a powerful antioxidant activity.


GRAPE SEED EXTRA

Scientific Name : Vitis vinefera
Plant Part Used : Fruit



Grape Seed Extract, derived from the skin and seeds of grapes contains protective oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) in significant quantity. The main constituents of Grape Seed Extract are phenolic compounds, broadly divided into monomers (catechin, epicatechin and taxifolin) and condensed flavonoids. The seed extract is proven to be a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from premature ageing and decay by increasing the resistance of blood plasma against oxidative stress. Scientific studies have also shown that the antioxidant power of proanthocyanidins in Grape Seed Extract is 20 times greater than vitamin E and 50 times greater than vitamin C.


What is ORAC ?

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is the measure of antioxidant power of foods. With the help of this test, we can quantify the capacity of food to eliminate the free radicals. It is expressed in micromole Trolox equivalent (TE) per unit weight of food.


How much antioxidant should we consume daily ?

Studies carried out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists shown that an adult human being should consume about 3000 - 5000 units ORAC per day to have sufficient amount of antioxidants in its blood to eliminate the formation of free radicals. We do get antioxidants from the diet. However, it has been observed that 80-90% population is not getting even the half of his requirement through diet. Therefore a supplement is required to fulfill the daily need.


Where does Magno Stand?

Magno Health Drink, with its unique 6 in 1 formulation, has been shown to process an ORAC of 71,638 micromole TE/lit i.e, 2,149 units per serving of 30 ml or 4,298 units per day, sufficient to flight against oxidative stress produced by free radicals. In addition to the protection from oxidative stress, Magno provides complete nourishment to the body
