The North American Cranberry
(Vaccinium macrocarpon)

Cranberry Puree

has a long and distinguished history. Not only has it been a food source, but has been used in ceremonies and for maintaining health. Cranberries are packed with nutrients and have been extensively researched. Cranberries have long been the focus of interest for their beneficial effects in preventing urinary tract infections. Cranberries contain Proanthocyanidin compounds which prevent bacteria from attaching to the uroepithelial cells in the urinary tract.

Cranberries not only contain antioxidants but have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties as well. Cranberries contain powerful phenolic antioxidants like anthocyanins, specifically it is the quercetin glycosides that provide cranberries with their free radical scavenging and enzyme inhibiting actions. The phenol antioxidants have also been shown to increase HDL (the "good" cholesterol) and reduce the oxidation of LDL (the "bad" cholesterol) potentially decreasing the risk of atherosclerosis. Resveratrol is an anti-cancer compound that is found naturally in cranberries. Resveratrol has been found to suppress tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis (programmed tumor cell death) in selected cancer cell lines. Resveratrol also has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties as well.

Cranberries are paced with nutrients and are an excellent source of antioxidants. Agel EXO, users can take advantage of the powerful antioxidant properties along with the benefits of 13 other exotic fruits and herbs from around the world.

Suspension Gel Technology - It's Simply Better

What is Suspension Gel Technology? Suspension Gel Technology uses a state-of-the-art science to put nutrition in a state of suspension in a gel.

What are the advantages of Suspension Gel Technology? There are two key factors that influence the efficacy of any nutritional supplement: the timing of the ingestion, and the bioavailability of the nutrients. The convenience of the portable gel pack delivery system that Agel uses allows first for the proper timing of ingestion to correctly correspond with meals, which in turn enhances the overall absorption and use of the nutrient. And second, the Gel Technology forces the critical nutrients to remain suspended in gel, thus optimizing the bioavailability of those nutrients when ingested. Traditional supplements found in pills and capsules do not always fully absorb in the digestive track, allowing a portion of the critical nutrients to travel through the digestive track without ever interacting with the lining of the stomach or intestines.

How are the nutrients in Agel products absorbed? Ingredients in each of the products contain nutrients that have specific (although widely different) methods of absorption along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. For most of these nutrients, the primary location is in the small intestines. By suspending nutrients in a gel, all of the nutrients are readily available to be digested and absorbed in the GI tract.

You can find additional research at our EXO eBook and in the Products section at Agel Website at www.agel.com/products.
We encourage you to do your own research

The Mechanism of EXO - How does it work?

The Mechanism

EXO's antioxidant spectrum slows down signs of the aging process. Regular consumption of EXO releases an active army of antioxidants in your bloodstream. EXO antioxidants work in two ways to minimize signs of aging — through EXO's Antioxidant BioShield™ and through its exclusive Antioxidant Recharging™. EXO's Antioxidant BioShield technology guards against free radical damage to both water-soluble and fat-soluble biomolecules. The Antioxidant BioShield is very protective due to the variety of natural antioxidants within EXO's 17 exotic fruits, including: flavonoids, proanthocyanins, anthocyanins, phenolic acids, polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamins, and essential minerals. EXO's Antioxidant BioShield™ minimizes free radical bioactivity and repairs free radical damage to cellular DNA, lipids, proteins and enzymes. Agel's Antioxidant BioShield also places the immune system on "surveillance alert" via active fruit polysaccharides against foreign invaders.*

Antioxidant Recharging™ describes the way EXO regulates antioxidant bioactivity. For example, in the process of repairing a free radical-damaged biomolecule with the vitamin E antioxidant, vitamin E becomes "deactivated" as an antioxidant. With EXO, the deactivated vitamin E is recharged by vitamin C. The resulting water-soluble, "deactivated" vitamin C is readily eliminated from the body following the recharging process. Agel's EXO contains many examples of coordinated Antioxidant Recharging. EXO's exclusive Antioxidant BioShield™ and Antioxidant Recharging™ provides you the best bioprotection against signs of aging — 24/7.

Bilberry Juice



Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a shrubby perennial bush that is commonly found in Europe, western Asia and in North America. The bilberry bears edible fruits that are related to the American blueberry, the cranberry and also the huckleberry. In fact, it is commonly called the "European blueberry."

For centuries, European herbalists have been using the Bilberry for a myriad of health related issues, including urinary tract health, vision, and many others. Of particular interest is the prolific use of the bilberry during World War II when British Royal Air Force pilots noticed a significant improvement in their night vision capabilities after consuming bilberry preserves prior to going out on bombing missions. Subsequent research has shown that bilberries are very powerful antioxidants, and it is in part because of this valuable property that they have such wonderful medicinal capabilities. In modern times, the bilberry has become a very popular nutritional supplement and it has been found helpful in maintaining vision health.

Researchers who have looked into the bilberry have identified the anthocyanins which are found abundantly in the bilberry as the substance responsible for most of the properties of this exotic fruit. Anthocyanins are very potent antioxidants and they appear to play a very important role in maintaining the integrity of our blood vessels, both large and very small. They appear to help maintain proper blood flow in many of our vital organs.

The bilberry is just one of 17 different exotic fruits and herbs contained in Agel EXO, each with its own repertoire of health enhancing properties.

EXO - a new kid on the block

Maybe you haven’t heard, but there’s a new kid on the block in the Antioxidant market, and it’s creating the latest BUZZ, that is challenging the “old school boys”. Meet EXO, the premium antioxidant, made by the startup company Agel Enterprises.

So what is the next big thing? And why is it SO big? It is called Gel Suspension Technology, a scientific breakthrough that allows suspending any nutrients, currently found in a form of a pill or tabulates form, into a gel based form. What is gel? It's a plant-based, gelatinous fluid that allows basic nutrients to "float." When nutrients "float," they stay dissolved and "suspended" and are more portable, easier to ingest, more accurate in their dosage and more readily absorbed by your body. This technology is patent pending, and no one else in the world has it. Since it is generic, it isn’t unlikely to assume that in the near future most of the consumed food supplement products would be delivered in a natural gel based form. And that’s a huge and historic change from the market stand point as well as from ours, the consumers’.

Here are a few immediate benefits you’ll gain as a result of sipping EXO:
It is more portable - The science is clear. To get the most out of nutrients, you need to take them around the time you eat. That means carrying them around with you! You can't take a supplement you leave at home. EXO, packed in soft gel packs couldn't be more grab-able, pocket-stuff-able, rip-and-sip-able, and even fun to hold. Never forget your nutrition again.
It is easier to ingest - Let's face it. Pills are hard to swallow—and not just for kids and seniors. Liquids often taste terrible. EXO taste great and couldn't be easier to sip. No spilling. No choking. No pill after taste. No water needed.
It is more Accurate in Dosage - Each EXO gel pack contains an exact dosage of the nutrients your body needs. No shaking. No ingredient sediments at the bottom that you miss. Each gel is a uniform blend of goodness with the same dosage of nutrients, every time.
It is easily absorbed by your Body - It's called "bioavailability." That's a big word for how readily your body can absorb the nutrients you swallow. Athletes pound carbs in gel packs mid-race so they get the benefit immediately. Now you can get immediate results. Pills and their coatings may or may not get broken down. Liquids must be shaken and taken immediately. But the nutrients in a gel packs are always dissolved, suspended, and ready to go to work.

So what’s in it? EXO is a powerful blend of 17 different unique whole fruit purees and plant extracts from around the world, each with its own unique properties. This distinctive formula contains 17 potent botanicals that each when tested individually was found to have a very high total antioxidant capacity. There are varying formulations of EXO, each of them containing a slightly different subset of the 17 antioxidant-rich exotic fruits that are used in the US and Canada formulation. This is done in order to accommodate the different markets and the specific requirements as set forth by the regulating agencies in each country.
Here are some of the fruits EXO contains: Dark Grape Puree, Blueberry Puree, Cranberry Puree, Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) Juice from Concentrate, Pomegranate Juice from Concentrate, Acerola Puree, Elderberry Juice, Prune Juice, Noni Puree, Bilberry Juice, Wolfberry Juice, Aloe Vera Juice from Concentrate, Gac (Momordica cochinchinensis) Fruit Juice, Sea Buckthorn Juice, Mangosteen Juice, Rooibos Tea Extract, Acai Juice.
Optimum health requires adequate nutrition. Adequate nutrition involves balance, moderation and variety. Scientific literature suggests that the intake of a varied selection of antioxidants is much better than taking high doses of just one or two antioxidants. Since EXO is a highly concentrated gel containing a variety of antioxidant rich botanicals, the multifaceted benefits of this formulation are truly unique.
So, now you know about it too. Do yourself a favor and grab one now,
It is simply better.

Acerola Puree

Acerola (Malpighia glabra) is a fruit resembling the bing cherry that is believed to originate from the Yucatan peninsula in South America. Some of the largest plantings in modern times are in Brazil. It is one of the richest known food sources of vitamin C, and it is for this reason that this fruit has played an important role in South American herbal medicine. In addition, it has carotene content comparable to that of carrots, and is also a good supply of magnesium, and several of the B vitamins; niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B1 (thiamine), and vitamin B2 (riboflavin).
Vitamin C is a nutrient that must be supplied in the diet. It has many biological functions, including the formation and maintenance of collagen (the primary protein of skin and connective tissues), healthy maintenance of the liver and adrenal glands, and it is a powerful natural antihistamine. However, one of its most important roles is that of an antioxidant and its ability to help the body fight physiological stress. Our environment is filled with external stresses and pollutants that put our bodies under extraordinary pressure to maintain health. We are much more prone to infection and disease in our metropolitan environments and the intake of extra vitamin C can serve as an excellent adjunct to healthy living.
Some of the common ailments for which vitamin C is being taken in our modern society include: allergies, atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), bronchitis, cancer prevention, colds and flu, glaucoma, and skin wrinkles.Acerola is loaded with many important nutrients, and it is an important component of Agel EXO. It contributes synergistically with the other 13 exotic fruits and herbs to create a supplement with exceptional health-enhancing properties.
