XM Burn

TURN UP THE HEAT!
These advanced thermogenic caps combine natural herbs, including
Moringa oleifera, with cutting-edge scientific expertise in a convenient
daily capsule. XMburn works to temporarily increase metabolism,
suppress appetite, and help you make smarter food choices to lose
unwanted pounds and maintain a healthier weight.
When we consume calories, our body has two options: (1) Burn those
calories into energy; (2) Convert those calories into fatty acids that are
stored in our adipose cells as fat.
Because of the sedentary lifestyle that many of us live, our metabolism
is low. This means that our body decides to store a higher percentage of
consumed calories as fat rather than burning them. Although an individual
may be eating very few calories, those calories are still prone to be
stored rather than burned, resulting in an increased weight and body fat
percentage.
NATURAL COMPOUNDS
Zija’s formulation team has identified certain natural compounds that
provide metabolic benefits immediately and more effectively. These
isomers are the mirror image of molecules that are much more rare,
but that are often easily recognized by an individual’s cellular receptors.
This scientific breakthrough has allowed Zija’s XMburn to become a new
market leader in weight management capsules.
EPIGALLOCATECHIN GALLATE
Another major component of XMburn is an extract enriched with catechins,
specifically the catechin Epigallocatechin gallate, or ECGC. Catechins are
extremely powerful antioxidants that have been shown, when effectively
combined with other natural ingredients, to help individuals better reach
their weight loss and management goals.
FOR BEST RESULTS
While XMburn has been shown to increase metabolism, this increase is
temporary and is best achieved with an overall increase in basal metabolic
rate. Coupling XMburn with strenuous exercise will help individuals
achieve a more effective and permanent increased metabolism.

Are you wondering?

Dr Howard Fisher explains......

"We have all heard the expression Enzymatically Alive and people are expected to understand what that really means. Here’s a little hint.... it is the reason why vegan vegetarians who are aware of protein, B12 and iron are so healthy. Enzymes are an intrinsic part of human physiology and every reaction in the body take place because of enzymatic activity. Enzymatically Alive refers to the enzymes, which are self-contained in plants, still being functional and not denatured. All raw plants contain sufficient enzymes to ‘digest’ themselves so that the body can easily absorb the nutrition they contain. Heating anything above 104 F degrees causes the enzymes to denature and lose their ability to break down the food that contained them.

When many growers produce nutraceuticals such as Moringa oleifera they do not take the time to hand pick and shade dry the different parts of the tree. The growers save time and money by buzzing down the tree and throw it into a dryer (yes above 104 F degrees) that immediately changes the physiological activity levels and effectiveness in the body."

To ensure the highest quality possible, all of Zija’s Moringa trees are grown on proprietary farms in India. They are organically raised without chemicals, harvested carefully by hand, and then shade dried, ensuring that essential Enzymatically Alive Nutrients remain intact. We use all of the most beneficial parts of the tree – the leaves, the seeds and the fruit – in our unique line of products.

Food for Thought Antioxidants

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Food for Thought' is a Zija News segment featuring Dr. Joshua Plant, Zija's Director of Research Sciences

April 2013 | Moringa: Full of Powerful Antioxidants

For the past 10 years I have studied the cell at some of the world’s finest research institutions, such as the National Institutes of Health and Harvard Medical School. During my studies, I found that the cell is a very delicate instrument; when it is not supported with the proper tools to combat attacks from the environment and from its own metabolic waste, it will die relatively quickly. One of the most common and damaging attackers to our cells are called “free radicals”. Free radicals come in many forms, but the most common free radical is actually something we take in every time we breathe: oxygen.

We all know that we need oxygen to live. What many of us fail to understand is that when our body metabolizes oxygen, it becomes a very powerful free radical. That free radical will then attack our cell membranes, DNA, and many of our cellular proteins. When oxygen attacks the cell it is called oxidative stress, and a cell under continuous oxidative stress will eventually die. As one can imagine, the more oxygen our bodies consume, the more oxidative stress our cells face. That becomes even more true during exercise, when our cells experience approximately 10X more oxidative stress than during rest.

The good news is that cells are amazing instruments capable of combatting the constant attack of oxidative stress with compounds we call “antioxidants.” Antioxidants work by momentarily interacting with the free radical. This interaction renders the free radical inert, allowing our body to pass it in our waste without damaging any of our cells. Many times the antioxidants that our body uses to fight free radicals are consumed through the food we eat; when we have a diet low in antioxidants, our bodies are likely to undergo significantly more oxidative stress.

Moringa oleifera helps the body fight oxidative damage with an amazing 46 different antioxidants! I have spent a good portion of my life studying plants and cells and have never come across a plant with more antioxidants. Moringa is so amazing that several scientific articles have been published exhibiting its powerful antioxidant properties for cell preservation. Knowing this, Zija has taken every step possible to maintain and enhance the antioxidant profile of its Moringa and incorporate it into our products such as SmartMix, SuperMix, XM+ Energy Mix, XMam, XMpm, PR1ME90, and our GenM skin care line.

Moringa oleifera

"Drumstick tree" and variants thereof redirect here. This name is also used for the golden shower tree (Cassia fistulosa).

Moringa oleifera
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Plantae
(unranked):	Angiosperms
(unranked):	Eudicots
(unranked):	Rosids
Order:	Brassicales
Family:	Moringaceae
Genus:	Moringa
Species:	M. oleifera
Binomial name
Moringa oleifera Lam.

Moringa oleifera (synonym: Moringa pterygosperma) is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Moringa, which is the only genus in the family Moringaceae. English common names include moringa, and drumstick tree, from the appearance of the long, slender, triangular seed pods,horseradish tree, from the taste of the roots which resembles horseradish, or ben oil tree, from the oil derived from the seeds. The tree itself is rather slender, with drooping branches that grow to approximately 10m in height. In cultivation, it is often cut back annually to 1–2 meters and allowed to regrow so the pods and leaves remain within arm's reach.^[1][2]

In developing countries, moringa has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development, and support sustainable landcare.^[3] It may be used as forage for livestock, a micronutrient liquid, a natural anthelmintic and possible adjuvant.^[2][4][5]

The moringa tree is grown mainly in semiarid, tropical, and subtropical areas, corresponding in the United States to USDA hardiness zones 9 and 10. While it grows best in dry, sandy soil, it tolerates poor soil, including coastal areas. It is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree that is native to the southern foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India.

Cultivation in Hawai'i, for commercial distribution in the United States, is in its early stages.^[6]

"India is the largest producer of moringa, with an annual production of 1.1 to 1.3 million tonnes of tender fruits from an area of 380 km². Among the states, Andhra Pradesh leads in both area and production (156.65 km²) followed by Karnataka (102.8 km²) and Tamil Nadu (74.08 km²). In other states, it occupies an area of 46.13 km². Tamil Nadu is the pioneering state in·so·much as it has varied genotypes from diversified geographical areas and introductions from Sri Lanka."^[7]

Moringa is grown in home gardens and as living fences in Tamil Nadu Southern India and Thailand, where it is commonly sold in local markets.^[8] In the Philippines, it is commonly grown for its leaves, which are used in soup.^[9] Moringa is also actively cultivated by the World Vegetable Center in Taiwan, a center for vegetable research with a mission to reduce poverty and malnutrition in developing countries through improved production and consumption of vegetables. Tamil Nadu Southern India has Moringa in its folk stories and as well considered to be auspicious to grow in home.

It is also widely cultivated in Africa, Cambodia, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Central and South America, and Sri Lanka.

Many parts of the moringa are edible. Regional uses of the moringa as food vary widely, and include:

• The immature seed pods, called "drumsticks", popular in Asia and Africa.
• Leaves, particularly in the Cambodia, Philippines, South India, Sri Lanka and Africa.
• Mature seeds
• Oil pressed from the mature seeds
• Roots

In some regions, the young seed pods are most commonly eaten,^[11] while in others, the leaves are the most commonly used part of the plant. The flowers are edible when cooked and are said to taste like mushrooms. The bark, sap, roots, leaves, seeds, oil, and flowers are used in traditional medicine in several countries. In Jamaica, the sap is used for a blue dye.

The leaves are the most nutritious part of the plant, being a significant source of vitamin B₆, vitamin C, provitamin A as beta-carotene, magnesium and protein, among other nutrients, shown in the table, right column.^[12] When compared with common foods particularly high in certain nutrients per 100 g fresh weight, moringa leaves are considerable sources of these same nutrients.^[13][14]
