body of scientific evidence substantiates the positive correlation between curcumin consumption and a reduction in the

«Given the high content of certain specific polyphenols in the juice blend, the increased antioxidant protection [in the
body] after consumption of the juice blend, and the anti-inflammatory capacity in vitro, further research is warranted to evaluate whether juice blend consumption may provide reversal of

risk factors and metabolic abnormalities (
body mass index, waist circumference, waist / hip ratio, lipid status, glucose, blood pressure, heart rate and heart rate variability),
