14. Can I prevent cancer by taking VEMMA?

Cancer is now a major leading cause of death second only to cardiovascular disease. The causes of cancer are not clearly understood.

Technology has improved to such an extent that today we can have products such as VEMMA which provides the full daily vitamin requirement, antioxidants and 65 minerals in a liquid preparation. The same technology has enabled us to make plastic bottles where the materials used are of food grade standard. This will not allow any alteration of the contents. Moreover a light sensitive product such as VEMMA needs a completely opaque container which is better achieved with a food grade plastic bottle. At a practical level breakage is not a problem and transport is economical. Cost benefits of this nature can be used to provide more value to the product.

16. What is the role of Aloe Vera and Green Tea in the product?

Mangosteen is an excellent source of antioxidants particularly Xanthones. In nature we have other antioxidants too. A broad spectrum of antioxidants provide superior benefits. This is what is achieved by adding Aloe and Green Tea which have been found to be loaded with a wide array of antioxidants. This combination is what has provided VEMMA with the amazing ORAC value that is in excess of 100,000.

17. Are there any side effects of taking this product?

VEMMA is a potent food supplement. When the body gets such a concentrated dose of nutrients the body can react in several ways. There will be a sense of improved well being and increased energy levels. There can also be an initial attempt to correct some of inefficiencies in the body due to poor diet, lack of physical activity or just aging. These can manifest as initial stomach upsets, feverish feeling, bone aches, mild skin reactions etc. If these happen reduce the serving to half the suggested amount for a week and take more water. These symptoms should clear within a few days after which the normal serving of VEMMA can be resumed.

18. How does VEMMA compare with other mangosteen products in the market?

In nature our diet is a combination of different foods. There is a good reason for this. We need several nutrients in every meal so that all are fully utilized. VEMMA provides all the goodness of mangosteen. To make sure that your body ultises this to the best of its ability VEMMA also provides complementary nutrients which are needed by the body such as the vitamins and minerals.

All disease processes are not clearly understood except probably for infectious diseases. Medical care is the appropriate approach.

Depending on the severity of the disease this effort will be unsuccessful, partially successful or maybe fully successful. Whatever the outcome nutrition will support the body in this process. VEMMA will support this effort by the body.
