Heathrow Natural Food & Beverage, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HRNF) is pleased to announce that it will add the Super Fruit “Maqui Berry” to its Gum & Fruit Bar Super Food Brand. The Maqui Berry, which grows in the Patagonia region of South America, has the highest anti-oxidant level of any natural fruit on earth. Anti-oxidants contain an extra oxygen molecule and are able to neutralize the free radical before it does any harm. Our body produces natural anti-oxidants to combat oxidative stress and inflammation and the cell damage that results. However, the aging process and the various environmental and life-style stressors we face every day create more free radicals than our bodies can naturally fight off.

“Maqui Plus will be a complement to our Super Food Brand and, along with ACAI Plus & Resveratrol Plus, provide the consumer with an additional choice to promote a healthy life style. Each variety provides differing benefits. Because of the high levels of anti-oxidants in the Maqui Berry, it has been proven in laboratory tests to promote weight loss of up to 20 pounds in one month,” said Michael Pagnano, CEO Heathrow Natural Food & Beverage, Inc. HNFB strives to be an innovator in the Natural Food market and will continue to identify Super Foods around the world to be incorporated in our product line.

Chocolate squares offer a new sweet twist on healthy diets. It’s called

Xocai Chocolate

and is sweetened with acai and blueberry juices.

“The reason that it’s healthy chocolate is because it’s made with unprocessed dark cacao,” said Kerry Dean, MXI. “One of our nuggets… is equal to half a pound of spinach in antioxidant value or 3 cups of blueberries or 4 pounds of tomatoes,” Dean said.

“Reduces your cravings for carbohydrates – bread, pasta – when you go out for dinner, so I’ve lost about 7 or 8 pounds being on this product,” said Debbie Fields, Xocai distributor.

But nutritionist Lisa Cohn cautions against buying into the idea of a miracle food, saying chocolate should not be a substitute for fruits and vegetables.

“It’s probably a bigger claim than what we’re delivering. To me fresh foods, products that are made with fresh ingredients that taste delicious, can also impart great nutritional science,” she said.

Jelly Belly started marketing a new superfruit mix of jelly bean flavors including acai and promegranate, advertised as a good source of antioxidant and vitamin C. Okay, jelly beans are not my first thought for nutrition (but if it makes you feel any better…). Organic Nectars introduced goji strawberry gelato while Sonoma Syrup will offer Acai Black Currant Superfruit Syrup (This isn’t listed on their site, so stay tuned).

Our favorite superfruit is making its way into a variety of product offerings, keep in touch for category selections on this web site.
