How does drinking Zeal improve mood and reduce anxiety and fatigue?

According to a clinical trial conducted by independent third-party research firm KGK Synergize, drinking Zeal twice a day can significantly improve mood, reduce anxiety and fatigue, and increase vigor and vitality. The study was conducted on healthy and active individuals who were not trying to improve their mood or enhance their current health. The study found that after just 28 days of drinking Zeal twice a day, 85% of participants felt better. The formulation of Zeal includes multiple food-derived ingredients such as Maca (Lepidium meyenii) and grape seed extract, which have been shown in earlier investigations to have anxiolytic and mood-supporting properties. The study concluded that Zeal at a dose of 28 grams per day significantly improved mood states and reduced stress levels within 29 days in moderately stressed but otherwise healthy individuals.

The clinical studies have confirmed that two servings of Zeal each day can help to increase vitality and provide an overall sense of well-being. The study included healthy participants, and the results showed a 23% increase in vigor and energy. Bernie Landes, Director of Research for Zurvita Scientific Advisory Board, explains that Zurvita took a bold step of studying people who had nothing wrong with them to confirm that Zeal could make them feel significantly better in a scientifically measurable way in only four weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zeal for Life Product and Label Updates

 

1. What is new?

According to the American Medical Association, everybody should consider adding nutritional supplements to their diet. As our lives grow busier and more demanding, the typical American diet has become increasingly deficient in key nutrients and richer in empty calories. Zeal has 150 mg of Gamma Oryzanol. The recommended dose of Gamma Oryzanol is 300mg per day and can be provided in two servings of Zeal. Clinical trial results from independent third-party research firm, KGK Synergize. Additionally, we’ve replaced Inulin with Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in Zeal to provide even more nutrition. The bioavailability of FOS as a prebiotic is superior to Inulin.

See #4 FOS vs. Inulin.

 

2. What are the health benefits associated with Gamma Oryzanol?

• Supports healthy cholesterol levels already in the normal range
• Supports healthy blood glucose levels already in the normal range
• Supports normal immune function
• Supports normal antioxidant response to oxidative stress
• Supports healthy weight management and Metabolic Syndrome
• Supports muscular strength
• Provides neuroprotection and normal cognitive function and mood
• Supports protection and maintenance of skin at all life stages
• Supports healthy hair and nails
• Supports healthy liver function

 

3. What is FOS and why was it added to Zeal?

FOS (fructooligosaccharides) are non-digestible soluble fibers that are, like inulin, defined as “prebiotics” because they provide support for the bacteria in our gut. FOS and Inulin add a slight sweetness as well. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are included in ZEAL as a replacement for Inulin, which is currently in short supply on a global basis.

 

4. FOS vs. Inulin. What is the difference?

Scientific studies suggest that FOS may be an even better prebiotic than Inulin – it’s molecular composition and chemical makeup give it the edge! Because of its longer chain length and higher molecular weight, Inulin can be harder for friendly bacteria to break down by fermentation and therefore will take more time to support normal bacteria growth. Therefore, all the healthy benefits of friendly gut bacteria proliferation may be LESS with Inulin than FOS.

 

5. What are prebiotics?

Prebiotics are chemically categorized as polysaccharides molecules of sugars that support the development of healthy gut bacterial flora.

 

6. What are soluble fibers?

This type of fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like material. It also supports healthy blood cholesterol and glucose levels already in the healthy zone as part of a healthy diet. Both FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and Inulin are well known substances that act as soluble fiber.

 

7. Will this impact flavor?

No, your favorite Zeal flavors will still taste the same.

 

8. Why does my label and caloric intake look different?

Zurvita prides itself on working cooperatively with manufacturers to stay in total compliance

with FDA labeling requirements. Recent updates to the required information on the Nutrition Facts label requirements were implemented to make it easier for consumers to make better informed food choices. Zeal’s labels were updated to reflect the updated labeling guidelines, which include changes in how the number of calories is calculated. 

Note: The formulation of Zeal HAS NOT changed in any way, but the rounding guidelines regarding how the calories are shown on the Nutrition Facts Panel have changed. New labels will show more calories, but the product is the exact same.

 Caloric round up explained

Before Zeal’s caloric intake read 40 or 50 per serving (depending on product)– now it will say 50 or 60 as the rules of how you show the number of calories has changed. Example: Fiber isn’t digested by your body. Instead, it passes intact through your stomach, small intestine, and colon and out of your body. Now the 2 calories per gram from soluble fiber must be included in the number of calories – where before it did not have to be included. Learn more by visiting the FDA page.

9. Did the weight of the product change?

No – only the volume (available head space once filled) did. There’s still 420g of product in the

jar. Originally 14g fit comfortably in the 29cc scoop due to the smaller particle size of inulin. Now we have increased to the 35cc scoop because the particle size of the FOS is larger than inulin, thus needing more volume in the scoop to maintain that original 14g serving size.

 

10.  Why did the scoop size change from 29cc to 35cc?

The number of servings per container is still 30. Additionally, the container weight is still 420 grams but the amount of product per scoop increased by 8.5%. The bulk density changed when we replaced Inulin with FOS. We maintained all aspects of the original finished product apart from the volume (NOT WEIGHT) of the scoop.

Whole Foods & Phytonutrients:

Phytocompounds are substances that plants produce to help them thrive and protect themselves from their environment. Many of these compounds are also beneficial in the human diet, where they are referred to as phytonutrients and can make an important contribution to optimized health. By using whole food concentrates from around the world, the diversity of phytonutrients found in Zeal is as unique as the environments from which they originate. Whole foods deliver

A plethora of nutrients including phytonutrients, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and healthy fatty acids –– things we need and cannot get from diet alone. Zurvita products contain whole food concentrates so that the beneficial effects and the molecular structure of these phytonutrients remain intact. The vitamins in these supplements are highly complex and work together synergistically; this helps them to do their job in your body.*

Trace Minerals and the Benefits of Adaptogens:

Trace minerals, while only making up a small portion of our body mass, can make an important contribution to optimal health. It is estimated the majority of American diets may be lacking in these trace minerals. Trace mineral deficiencies have been studied in relation to numerous functions within the cells of our bodies.* Adaptogens, which have been studied by scientists around the world, are plants or herbs that typically grow in extremely harsh climates. These ingredients can also be beneficial for our bodies when they become nutrients with energizing, healthy-aging properties. Individual compounds found in adaptogens can number in the hundreds and include such phytonutrients as antioxidants, vitamins, trace minerals and other substances. Zeal contains multiple adaptogens.*

Clinical studies confirm the benefits of Zeal Wellness:

Results from a landmark clinical study conducted by independent third-party research firm KGK Synergize confirmed that the positive benefits of drinking Zeal every day include, but are not limited to: significantly improved overall mood and significantly reduced anger and hostility, along with greater vigor and vitality, less anxiety and less fatigue.

The objective of this study was to confirm the positive effects of Zeal for normal healthy, moderately stressed adults using the accepted clinical tool for measuring overall mood state, and the multiple sub-elements that affect it. Using a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled model, this “gold
standard” study was conducted using the POMS (Profile of Mood State) questionnaire to evaluate people who had no health issues and who were not trying to improve mood, reduce stress or enhance their current health through an organized nutrition, exercise or stress reduction program. The individuals in the study were average healthy people leading average lives.

“Zurvita took this bold and unprecedented step of studying people who had absolutely nothing wrong with them in order to confirm that Zeal could make them feel significantly better in a scientifically
measurable way in only four weeks, and they succeeded,” explains Zurvita Scientific Advisory Board Director of Research Bernie Landes. Landes is globally sought after for his expertise in nutritional product development, clinical research and regulatory affairs. “The Zurvita “Blue Ribbon” Scientific
Advisory Board was empaneled to challenge the science underlying Zurvita products and prove that the
science and products based on that science have genuine merit,” according to Landes. “After just 28 days of drinking Zeal twice a day, 85% of the study participants reported feeling significantly better.”

Other highlights included experiencing the following: increased calm with greater feelings of vitality, coupled with decreased tension, diminished irritability, anger and hostility. Like the
clinical trial participants, you and so many other people now have these powerful results to share, which support the numerous healthy benefits of this comprehensive nutritional “all-in-one” powerhouse drink.
