Does Zambroza
contain xanthones?
Yes, Zambroza does contain xanthones from Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen).
We have actually uncovered a couple more Xanthones that our U.S. Competitors
don't have in their formulation due to our patented extraction method.
What are Xanthones
and why are they beneficial?
Xanthones are a group of active compounds found in the mangosteen and are
found in all parts of the fruit. Zambroza does contain xanthones. However,
xanthones are not the only biologically active substances in the mangosteen or
in Zambroza. Catechins, polyphenols, polysaccharides, vitamins, flavonoids,
and other antioxidants are all active substances in these fruits. Nature’s
Sunshine has compared Zambroza’s antioxidant, polyphenol, and immune activity
to our competitor’s product. Zambroza surpassed the competitor’s product each
time, and in fact shows more than three times the immune-stimulating power of
its nearest competitor.
What is the actual
ORAC value of the Zambroza product?
NSP has chosen not to release specific ORAC values for this product.
Comparing ORAC values that have been obtained in different laboratories does
not give a valid comparison. ORAC values can change based on how the product
was analyzed as well as the reference standard used. When one laboratory
conducts ORAC testing using the same parameters, the results can produce a
valid comparison. Independent laboratory testing done on Zambroza and several
of its competitors shows that Zambroza has more than two times the ORAC value
of its nearest competitor.
Does Zambroza contain both the fruit and pericarp (rind) of the Mangosteen?
Yes, Zambroza contains all parts of the mangosteen fruit, seeds fruit and the rare pericarp rind enriched with Xanthones!
Does Zambroza contain xanthones?
Yes, Zambroza does contain xanthones from Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen). We have actually uncovered 3 more Xanthones that our U.S. Competitors don't have in their formulation due to our patented extraction method.It is very probable that the other drinks (Xango, MangoXan, Vemma, etc.) contain small trace amounts of these xanthones. After all, they are in the mangosteen fruit--and if these companies don't destroy these xanthones by their processing (which is definitely NOT a sure thing), then there may be very small amounts there.However, Nature's Sunshine uses a proprietary extraction process that can pull these xanthones out of the mangosteen rind and concentrate them into the drink at a high level. Xango CANNOT accomplish this by their method of simply throwing the rind in and hoping for the
best. They are stuck with what they get, even before they dilute their juice and heat it.
Why was Zambroza
developed?
This was specifically formulated as a highly nutritional drink with many
strong antioxidants. Antioxidants scavenge the free radicals that occur in the
body due to normal metabolism, and also from exposure to toxins such as
pollution, tobacco smoke, ultraviolet light and radiation. If left unchecked,
free radicals can cause cell damage. Antioxidants benefit virtually every
organ and body system because they mop up damaging free radicals. Zambroza
delivers the most potent antioxidant protection of any product of its type on
the market.
What are the ingredients of Zambroza?
Obviously, one of the key ingredients is Mangosteen, the "Queen of Fruits." However, the other ingredients are concord grape concentrate, red grape concentrate, blueberry concentrate, red raspberry concentrate, grapeskin extract, wolfberry lycium extract, sea buckthorn extract, grapeseed extract, green tea extract, apple extract, and sodium benzoate.

Why these particular ingredients?
A company with 35 years in the herbal supplement industry has the experience to optimize this drink to simply be the best product of its kind on the market. Unlike some competitors, Nature's Sunshine does not have to hire a third party to develop and produce their products for them. Nature's Sunshine industry-renowned scientists worked on this product for about a year--pulling together herbs/fruits with well-known health benefits. They optimized the exact concentrations to achieve the best result--something that few companies have the ability to do...and independent lab tests prove it!
Unlike some competitive products, the ingredients were NOT chosen to be cheap "fillers", nor to improve taste, nor to improve the texture of the drink. Each and every ingredient was chosen because of a specific health benefit and to complement the action of the key ingredients is mangosteen.
What is the size of the bottle?
The bottle contains 15 fluid ounces, or 443 ml.
Does Zambroza contain any sweeteners, artificial flavors, or artificial colors?
Zambroza contains no artificial colors, artificial flavors, nor sweeteners.
How does Zambroza taste?
In a word--delicious! Kids and adults alike love it!
Can children take Zambroza?
Children can safely take Zambroza. Generally half of the adult amount would be sufficient. There are really very few safety precautions for this product. These fruits used in Zambroza have all been used safely for hundreds of years.
What is the carbohydrate content of Zambroza?
There are five grams of total carbohydrates per one ounce serving of Zambroza. Four of the five grams are sugar carbohydrates.
How many calories per serving of Zambroza?
The Zambroza product contains approximately 20 calories per one ounce serving.
Is Zambroza safe for diabetics to take?
All the sugars in Zambroza are naturally occurring in the raw materials. There is no refined sugar and no sugar added. This combined with the low dosage (half ounce / day) should mean no problem for diabetics. Our experience to date has been that Zambroza is no problem at all for diabetics, or for anyone with candida or other yeast or fungal infections.
How much of each ingredient is in Zambroza?
The formula for Zambroza is proprietary. Nature's Sunshine does not give out the concentration of any ingredients,
I thought
that XanGo had a patent on the use of the mangosteen pericarp and that no one
else can use it?
It is not entirely true that XanGo has a patent on the use of mangosteen or
mangosteen pericarp. As we all know, you can’t patent a natural ingredient.
Rather, their patent was claiming that the use of a good-tasting ingredient to
mask the bad taste of a health-promoting ingredient (mangosteen pericarp) was
new and unique. In fact, this type of masking of bad-tasting ingredients is
well-known to those skilled in the art. In fact XanGo’s patent was re-examined
by the US Patent Office and on April 21/05 all 81 of their patent claims were
rejected. Here is some info on how to access the documents to see for
yourself: Here is the link to the patent office PAIR system, where you can
view/print the patent rejection. Copy and paste the number as you see it

Does the Zambroza formula have decaffeinated green tea?
The green tea in Zambroza is decaffeinated.
What are the active substances in Zambroza?
There are many of them. Xanthones, a particular type of antioxidant, certainly are key compounds and have received lots of attention in the medical community. (See medical articles.) There are many other active antioxidants in Zambroza as well. Due to some other powerful ingredients in Zambroza, it is also rich in Flavonoids, Phenols, Polyphenols, Vitamins A, C, E, Beta Carotene, SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), Carotenoids, Anthocyanins, Proanthocyanins, Quercetin, Resveratrol, and more!
What kind of testing does Nature's Sunshine perform on Zambroza?
Nature's Sunshine has long had a reputation for producing the purest herbal supplements in the world. This requires much testing that competitors have neither the personnel, experience, equipment, time, nor finances to do. First, during development, the product is carefully tested for things like reactions between ingredients, ability to process without destroying active ingredients, shelf life, and more. Second, each and every batch of raw ingredients is tested not only for pesticides and other toxic substances--but also to ensure that the supplier has not "cheated" and supplied fruit that does not have the required active compounds in it. Third, during and after the manufacturing process, samples of the finished product are tested to ensure that everything meets Nature's Sunshine's high specifications.
How long does it take to get Zambroza?

Company
Who is Nature's Sunshine?
Nature's Sunshine Products had a humble beginning--started by Gene & Kristine Hughes in 1972 in the basement of their home. They were the first company to ever put pure herbal products into capsules. Obviously, the idea caught on, and Nature's Sunshine is the oldest and largest encapsulator of herbs in the world. Their headquarters is in Provo, UT, and their manufacturing facility is in Spanish Fork, UT.
What can you tell me about Nature's Sunshine manufacturing facility?
Nature's Sunshine facility is sometimes used by the Utah Food and Drug Administration as a model to other companies on how a supplement manufacturing facility should be operated! As recently as 2002, Nature's Sunshine received the "Supplement Manufacturer of the Year Award".Their research scientists have their offices located right there in the manufacturing plant. It is EXTREMELY clean, well-run, and impressive!
Compensation Plan/Rebates
Do the rebates for buying Zambroza apply only to the first order?
No! The 10% rebate applies each and every month that you order at least 135 PV of volume under your account number! Nature's Sunshine is proud to offer this benefit that the competition definitely does not. Furthermore, your rebate percentage on your personal purchases can increase if you share Zambroza with others and they also order.
If I sponsor people, how many levels deep does your plan pay?
This question only applies to "unilevel" type plans such as that used by several competitors. They must offer to go several layers deep--otherwise the compensation plan loses any attractiveness at all--except to the people at the top. The Nature's Sunshine comp plan pays you from 5%-40% on the orders of people that you bring into the business--not just on the first order--but ALL orders. It pays out about 59 cents for each dollar of product sold. The majority of that goes to the distributors who are doing the most work with those customers. Learn more about the Zambroza opportunity, or look at the compensation plan details for more information.
I already have my own account number, and I'm ready to sign up a new Associate! How do I do that?
We recommend that distributors new to Nature's Sunshine call their orders in directly to the Canadian office.
What if some of my distributors do not perform?
You do not have to have 3 "Legs" of distributors ordering $200 of product on Autoship each month like one of our main competitors in order to get maximum commission. The compensation plan is built so that discontinuity by a successline distributor affects you minimally. |
