Benefits

Galaxy’s powerful blend exhibits a high amount of antioxidant activity that offers a number of benefits. The antioxidant capacity is higher in Galaxy than in 21 of the 22 highest antioxidant fruit juices listed by the USDA (Haytowitz and Bhagwat, 2010).

The unit used to rate the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity has become known as the ORAC value. With about 1068 ORAC units found in 30 mL (about one ounce) of Galaxy, you are getting approximately 21% to 36% of the daily ORAC units recommended by the USDA (Booth et al., 2012). This is an amazing score!

Additional research shows that Galaxy does not spike blood glucose levels. In a recent clinical study with 308 participants, blood glucose levels remained unaffected 1.5 hours after taking 30 mL of Galaxy. Researchers suggest that these results stem from the absence of sucrose and “… the balance of simple naturally occurring sugars found in the product … 16.5% xylitol; 42.2% fructose; and 41.3% glucose.” (Booth et al., 2012)

Neither Joy Life nor its distributors make health claims about Galaxy because it is marketed as a nutritional supplement, not as a medicine.

How long can an opened bottle of Galaxy High Impact Blend remain fresh?

Galaxy High Impact Blend needs to be refrigerated after opening, which will maintain its nutritional efficacy and taste for up to 90 days.

Is there a reason we have changed the caps on Galaxy?

Yes! Galaxy will now have a metal cap that is crimped in place during the bottling process. This will provide improved protection against leakage and breakage.

What is the sediment or froth in Galaxy?

Sediment at the bottom of the bottle, and any froth accumulated in the neck of the bottle, is completely normal. These are actually part of the Superfruit and Superfood blends. Simply shake the bottle vigorously prior to use so as to fully benefit most Galaxy’s unique formula.

Why does Galaxy taste different from time to time?

Based on the season harvested, exotic fruit blends can vary between a slightly sweet to a slightly sour flavor. However the premier nutrient attributes and efficacy of each ingredient remains consistent, regardless of any variances in flavor.

Although the seasonal batches may have a unique variation in flavor, we test each batch to ensure it delivers the proper nutritional balance with minimal sweeteners to ensure the safety necessary for diabetic use.
