Borojo, an Exotic Fruit from the South American Rainforest May be Next Superfruit

Research finds that the borojo fruit is densely packed with nutrients and antioxidants 
 

NEW YORK, NY, August 10, 2010 – With the race on across the scientific, health, and consumer worlds for the next superfruit, the most promising answer now seems to lie in a centuries-old fruit from Colombia’s tropical forests. The findings of a Rutgers University study commissioned by Nutropical  LLC of Secaucus, NJ reveal to the public what South Americans have known for centuries: the borojo (pronounced bo-ro-ho) fruit promotes a host of health benefits thanks to a newly discovered antioxidant compound. The borojo fruit also appears to be unique in that it contains only one polyphenol in relatively high concentration which makes it revolutionary in the plant world.

Polyphenols play a critical role in human health and disease prevention. Most importantly, these powerful antioxidants help protect the body's tissues against cellular damage caused by free radicals as well as exhibiting a variety of anti-inflammatory and immunity enhancing properties instrumental in controlling the aging process.

The borojo fruit also contains high levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, and has been used for centuries as a natural energizer, an appetite suppressant and as a libido booster. Nutropical markets the fruit in concentrated capsule form.

According to Sandra Mitchell, Nutropical’s chief marketing officer: “We believe that borojo is the most promising fruit to be introduced to the US market in the last ten years. Its dense nutrient structure and its high level of antioxidants provide strong support for those seeking to improve or maintain their health. Traditionally, the borojo fruit is blended into a juice or shake -- Nutropical is the only company to make borojo available in concentrated capsule form.”

Nutropical’s borojo supplements are now available for order at www.nutropical.com, and the company additionally plans to offer women’s supplements, men’s supplements, and a sports blend. Nutropical currently holds multiple patents-pending for its formulations.
