"Antioxidants work synergistically and may provide a greater benefit together than they do individually."
"Unlike many other nutrients, you can't store antioxidants, so you have to keep replenishing the supply.
"The important thing is getting antioxidants throughout the day and keeping levels high because they go down very quickly," says Joe Vinson, Ph.D., a professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton."
If you go to
Recent Mangosteen Research
you will find that VEMMA and VERVE both have sustained peak antioxidant effect for over 6 hours. They were still at peak at that time, but the testing ended at 6 hours.
There are plans to extend the testing to up to 16 hours to see how long the effect is actually sustained beyond the initial time period.

- "elevated triglycerides are caused by three related factors: consuming too many calories, inadequate exercise, and being overweight or obese."
