Why NingXia Red?
We need 5000 ORAC scale units of bio-available antioxidants daily as a minimum to cope with the average rate of oxidation. An excellent choice is Young Living’s Ningxia Red. Did you know that if you exercise, drink alcohol or feel stressed then that amount needs to be doubled or tripled?
You would have to eat TWO entire baskets of organic blueberries and half a pound of raisins daily to get the same amount. Being able to get the nutrients of that many organic blueberries in just one ounce of Ningxia Red makes it so easy!
The solution is found in “superfoods” and super-supplements.
One of the best known superfoods on this planet is the wolfberry. Many therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils also score extremely high. Did you know that all of Young Living’s products contain essential oils? Even their nutritional supplements.
Not all wolfberries are created equal! The best source – and the highest on the ORAC scale (25,300 per 100gr) – comes from Ningxia Province in China. Locals there live beyond 110 – 120 years of age, with good health and an active mind and body. Some have even been reported to have completed a PhD whilst in their 90’s. What?? We’ll take some of what they’re having, thanks!
The Huang He (Yellow) River originates in the Himalayan Mountains and flows through the Ningxia Province. This river creates a unique, mineral-rich, super fertile silt-water flood plain, like none found elsewhere on earth, producing incomparably potent wolfberries. It is in this floodplain of the NingXia Valley where the wolfberries are highest in antioxidants.
The beautiful Ningxia region is called “China’s herbal medicine valley” and is renowned for meeting all of the stringent rules to be awarded the prestigious “Green Certificate” – the equivalent of the USDA’s Organic Certification.
