Poga Moonga and Aloe Vera

Aloe vera products are used internally and externally. Here are some products that use aloe vera for internal use. Gel caps, caplets, natural juice and concentrate gel form. The caplets usually contain Aloe ferox latex (yellow juice that leaks from the plant not the gel), beetroot, fennel seed, Aloe barbadensis (the aloe leaf). The gel caps contain aloe vera extract, silica and gelatin. It can also contain any of these ingredients, Vegetable Magnesium, Rice Bran Oil, Glycerin (a sweet tasting sugar alcohol) Beeswax and Water.

The juice is just what it says, untouched straight from the plant. The concentrate is usually condensed by removing liquid from the juice, which makes it more potent. Because aloe vera is unpleasant tasting on it’s own, it is also combined with many other juices for flavor enhancement. The medicinal internal uses are ulcers, rheumatism and arthritis pain, liver problems and kidney infections. It relieves heartburn, lowers blood sugar in diabetics, congestion, urinary tract infections, prostate problems, colitis, stomach ulcers, asthma, intestinal worms, liver problems and is a great detoxifier.
But aloe vera products used externally are unlimited. You can buy aloe pillows and pillowcases. It is used in facial creams and lotions, aftershave, deodorants, sunscreen, toothpaste, shower gel, eardrops and many more products. Every week they put aloe in another product because of its healing and medicinal powers. It is also sold for pets to use internally and externally.

But the external medicinal uses of aloe vera, which are better known, are relief from sunburn, burns, wounds and helps heal bruises. It is used for mouth irritations, it eases hemorrhoids, salves boils and helps insect bites. It is used for sores, sties, dry skin, athlete’s foot, rashes, blisters, conjunctivitis, as a laxative. It helps treat acne, sunburn (by preventing scaring), warts, shingles, wrinkles, eczema and even herpes. Aloe vera products used internally and externally make it one of the most effective natural products you can use for countless illnesses and ailments.


Aloe vera health has come into it’s own. It has been used for centuries for it’s healing powers. It is used in skin products for its ability to rebuild skin. It is well known for its ability to solve constipation and gas. It can control you reflux and heartburn naturally. It is used as a treatment for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Athletes use it for working out and competitions because it helps with stamina and recovery. It is used to fight skin infections and ailments because it helps increase the blood flow to the infected area which speeds healing. Because it is natural, it can treat all of these ailments without harmful side effects like pharmaceutical drugs have. It’s contains many vitamins, such as B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. It also contains minerals, chlorine, germanium, calcium, manganese, potassium, copper, iron, silicon, sodium, lactate and sulfur. But the phytochemicals are what really sets it apart from other plants.
Phytochemicals are plant chemicals that have no nutritional value but contain protective and disease preventive properties. The phytochemicals in aloe are polysaccharides (a complex carbohydrate), enzymes (a protien that catalyzes chemical reactions), organic acids (an organic acidic compound) and various resins. These are the great aloe vera health properties that cannot be found in other plants.

These are what make aloe vera the great healing plant it is. That is why it has been used back as far as recorded time. All plants contain vitamins, minerals and other ingredients found in aloe but only aloe contains the polysaccharides that give it its magical healing powers. The history of aloe vera, according to botanists, seems to start in the warm dry climate of Africa. But today it can be found in many warm climates around the world. Because the plant is very adaptable it can grow in temperatures as high as 104 degrees and the root can survive freezing air temperatures as long as the ground does not freeze. It can also survive in a drought.

Aloe vera history is recorded as far back as Persia. It has also been recorded in most other areas of the world, like Egypt, the Middle East, Greece, Europe, India, Africa, Asia, Japan, the Philippines and in Hawaii. An Egyptian document, dating back to B.C. 1550, is the first detailed discussion on the powerful properties of aloe vera. It discussed 12 different formulas using aloe vera mixed with other ingredients, taken internally and used externally to treat human disorders.

Western mans understanding of medicinal plants came from the father of modern medicine, Hypocrites around 460 B.C. and during the same period aloe vera had reached widespread use according to Copra’s Indigenous Drugs of India. It noted it pure cleansing power along with the external use for inflamed, painful parts of the body, were too well known in India to need any special mention.

Western man’s aloe vera history began with Dioscorides, the master of Roman pharmacology, who wrote about the powers of aloe vera. Today aloe vera is used for everything from beauty supplies, creams for external use and juices and pills for internal use. The more it is studied, the more it is being recommended to use for many more disorders and chronic illnesses.

Poga Moonga and Pomegranate Juice

Poga Moonga and Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranate fruits contain polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins - all are beneficial antioxidants. Interestingly, the pomegranate juice found in poga moonga, contains high levels of antioxidants - higher than most other fruit juices, red wine or green tea.

Research done about the benefits of pomegranate juice suggests that drinking a glass of pomegranate juice a day for one year reduced blood pressure (particularly systolic pressure) and slowed down LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) oxidation. Pomegranate juice, a rich source of a potent flavonoid antioxidants, was tested for its capacity to protect nitric oxide against oxidative destruction.

Pomegranate juice was much more potent than Concord grape juice, blueberry juice, red wine and ascorbic acid. Pomegranate juice, a rich source of a potent flavonoid antioxidants, was tested for its capacity to protect nitric oxide against oxidative destruction.

From research they have determined that natural pomegranate juice can block enzymes that contribute to osteoarthritis. It may prevent prostate cancer or slow its growth and during pregnancy, it may help reduce the risk of brain injuries in babies. It improves lipid profiles in diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia.

It can suppress proliferation (growth) and invasion of human prostate cancer cells. It inhibits low-density lipoprotein oxidation and cardiovascular diseases. With all the benefits of pomegranate juice, consider poga moonga as a great source of a super-antioxidant for your health.

Pomegranate natural restorative powers have been talked about for hundreds of years and more and more scientific studies are finding the legendary claims of the pomegranate are very essential to everyone’s general health. More potent than other fruit juices such as blueberry, cranberry, and orange, as well as red wine. Poga moonga is a great source to obtain pomegranates restorative powers.

It contains a super-antioxidant, a flavonoid, which is much more powerful than normal antioxidants. Studies have found it to have at least three times the antioxidant of other fruit juices. It is also quite high in potassium and fiber, and contains vitamin C and niacin.

There are many great benefits from taking pomegranate juice. Thinning the blood, raising the good cholesterol (HDL cholesterol), which controls the free radicals that can be harmful to your body. It reduces fatty deposits on artery walls. It also lowers blood sugar and reduces cell damage. It also slows cartilage deterioration and osteoarthritis.

It may prevent the return of prostate cancer after surgery. It also helps in the prevention of heart disease and stroke. It may also help people with anxiety and insomnia. It has been used to treat inflammation, sore throats and rheumatism. This has been done for centuries in the Middle East, India, and Iran. These are all pomegranate natural restorative powers.

There are four different varieties of the pomegranate fruit. There are many products today, like poga moonga that contain pomegranate juice. Studies are showing that pomegranate juice should be an important part of everyone’s health regiment. Everyone can benefit from the pomegranate natural restorative powers. Men should especially take pomegranate juice, if for nothing else but for it’s ability to help prevent prostate cancer.


Pomegranate vitamins are a good way to get the essential antioxidants your body needs. It comes in many forms from capsules to concentrate. Each manufacturer has there own blend and combination of ingredients. First you have the capsules. They remove the moisture from pomegranate juice and which leaves just powder.

The powder form has a high degree of hygroscopicity (water absorption character) that renders these powders incapable of full dissolution (the process of dissolving a substance into a liquid). When digested, the powder forms a shell around because of its lack of water. Which makes it almost impossible for absorption at a cellular level. The phytochemicals (non-nutritive plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive properties) are not released and cannot be absorbed into the body. These are the least effective forms of pomegranate.

Another form of pomegranate vitamins is in a gel form. These are much better than the powder form. They do not lack the moisture, thus the body absorbs the phytochemicals. The only drawback is that the gel form usually contains Vegetable cellulose (vegetable capsule), dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, and silica. (Pills). The gel form is better than the powder form but contains ingredients you don’t need.

Then there’s the juice itself which can be bought mixed with other juices, sweetened or unsweetened, in a concentrate form or in it’s original state. The juice, in any form has the best pomegranate vitamins available. The calories, carbohydrates, sugar, potassium, iron, fiber and protein vary in each product. There are 3 main ingredients in pomegranate juice.

Ellagic acid (is a proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen, and anticancer initiator), Anthocyanins (they are a flovanoid pigment that produce the color for the fruit) and Phytoestrogens (non-nutritive plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive properties). The amount of juice concentrate varies with each manufacturer. It varies from 2 to 8 teaspoons a serving. The powder and gel form are already pre-measured for you.

Pomegranate fruit originated from Iranian plateau. Pomegranate fruit grows from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and was cultivated over the whole Mediterranean region since ancient times. Pomegranate fruit is widely cultivated throughout India and the drier parts of Southeast Asia, Malaya, the East Indies and tropical Africa.

Poga Moonga

Poga Moonga

Poga Moonga is a natural dietetic supplement made with a perfect mixture of Moringa, Pomegranate and Aloe Vera juice. It is the first time all three of these amazing supplements are combined into one amazing drink. All three ingredients have they’re own amazing abilities for treating countless illnesses and diseases. Moringa, pomegranate and aloe vera are all natural products and have been used for centuries by many civilizations.

The first ingredient in Poga Moonga is Moringa. Moringa has been used for centuries and has earned the nickname “Natures Medicine Chest” for its ability to treat and even cure many illnesses. It was used in ancient times and is recorded in the first written medical book in India called the “ayurveda”.

It is written that Moringa was used to treat and over 300 illnesses. It can be used topically as an ointment and taken orally. It is used to treat everything form rashes and scrapes externally to chronic swelling due to trauma and high blood pressure internally. As an antibiotic, Moringa is used to treat minor infections. An extract from the seeds can be used to fight skin-infecting bacteria and has been used to cure rashes, cuts, scrapes, sores and as anti-aging cream. It also, in just a 3-hour period, can lower blood sugar levels by using a leaf extract and no reports of side effects have been reported from using moringa.

Juice, made from the leaves, stabilizes blood pressure, is helpful in treating anxiety, controlling glucose levels for people with diabetes. For treating diarrhea, dysentery and colitis, it is mixed with honey and then a coconut milk drink a couple times a day. If you have a headache just rub some buds on your temples. You can treat bronchitis, ear and eye infections and fevers by eating the leaves. The leaves are even used to kill intestinal worms and act as a great diuretic.

In a powder form, it provides an energy boost, which is all-natural. It is unlike the energy you would derive from sugar or caffeine, which can be harmful to the body. It is an energy that can last for hours and hours without resulting in the adverse effects of the “crashing” feeling you get with other energy drinks. Moringa is widely used and tested for its ability to purify water. It is used in many parts of the world to purify water for cooking and drinking where regular purification systems are not available.

Moringa is a great source for vitamins and minerals. Gram for gram, moringa leaves contain four times the vitamin A of carrots, three times the potassium of bananas, four times the calcium of milk, two times the protein of yogurt, three times the iron of spinach and seven times the vitamin C of oranges.
But one of the most important properties of moringa is its ability to provide your body with the 8 “essential amino acids “ your body needs for life. Your body needs 22 amino acids but only produces 14 of them. You must obtain these missing essential amino acids from other sources. All amino acids must be replenished which you do by eating food, which turns into protein, which produces amino acids. It is very rare to find a plant, which contains all 8 essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of our body. They build new cells and repair and build new muscle tissue as well as producing antibodies to fight against viruses and bacteria. They also carry oxygen through the body and are needed for muscle activity. Amino acids help normalize moods, concentration, sex drive, sleep and aggression.


The second ingredient in poga moonga is pomegranate. Pomegranate is a super antioxidant, 3 times more powerful than the antioxidant found in red wine and tomatoes. Antioxidants help in maintaining good cholesterol levels by controlling free radicals.
Free radicals are cholesterol, which through oxidation, become harmful to the body. LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) can cause a build up of plaque in the arteries. This build up can lead to clots, which can constrict the flow of blood to the body and brain. This lack of blood flow can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

It may also prevent the return of prostate cancer after surgery and can be used for prostate cancer prevention. It also contains a very high concentration of vitamin C and good quantities of vitamin A, E and folic acid. The three main ingredients in pomegranate are Elegiac acid (is a proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen, and anticancer initiator), Anthocyanins (these are a flovonoid pigment that produce the color for the fruit) and Phytoestrogens (a non-nutritive plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive properties).

The last, but certainly not the least important ingredient in poga moonga is aloe vera. Aloe is well known for its external uses such as treating sunburn, lesions, itchy scalp, insect bites and stings, hemorrhoids, herpes lesions, psoriasis, hives and sores, from bedsores to canker sores. Taken internally it can help normalize your digestive system. It also helps with rheumatism and arthritis pain, liver problems, kidney infections, heartburn, lowers blood sugar in diabetics, congestion, urinary tract infections, prostate problems, colitis, stomach ulcers, asthma, intestinal worms, liver problems and is a great detoxifier. Athletes use it for working out and competitions because it helps with stamina and recovery.

It also contains 20 of the 22 known amino acids and 8 of the 13 recognized vitamins. It’s contains many vitamins, such as B1, B2, B3, B6 and C, It also contains minerals, chlorine, germanium, calcium, manganese, potassium, copper, iron, silicon, sodium, lactate and sulfur. But the phytochemicals are what really sets it apart from other plants.
Phytochemicals are plant chemicals that have no nutritional value but contain protective and disease preventive properties. These help build and maintain your immune system to fight infections. The phytochemicals in aloe are polysaccharides (a complex carbohydrate), enzymes (a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions), organic acids (an organic acidic compound) and various resins. These phytochemicals are found in aloe vera and in no other plant.

As you can see, each ingredient in poga moonga, moringa, pomegranate and aloe vera are all amazing supplements independently but combined together, they provide a total complete supplement, containing everything your body needs.

Poga Moonga and Vitamin Supplements

Poga moonga is a great vitamin supplement when you can’t get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs. There are endless brands and types to choose from. There are two important parts to consider when of choosing a vitamin supplement. The first is, how they are made. The body, compared to a synthetic supplement, which your body has to break down, will easier absorb all natural vitamin supplements, like poga moonga, using its own vitamins and mineral, in order to use the ingredients.

The second is the amount of the ingredients in the supplement. It is well know that a lack of, or an excess of any ingredient can be harmful to your body. These are the recommended ingredients and daily amounts needed for good health. Drinking poga moonga is a great natural source for a vitamin supplements. As you will see the amount usually increase the older you get and it’s usually lower for women than men. Mg (milligrams) and mc (micrograms are 1/1000000 of a gram). Calcium for 0 to 6 months old (210 mg) and (1000 mg) for 19 to 50 year olds. Chromium for 0 to 6 months old (.02 mg) and (female 25 and male 35 mg) for 19 to 50 year olds.

Folate for a 1 to 3 years old (150 mc) and (400 mc). for 19 to 50 years olds. Iron for a 7 to 12 month old (11 mg) and for 19 to 50 years old (8 mg). Iron is the only one that lessons, as you get older. Magnesium for a 1 to 3 year old (80 mg) and (female 320 and male 420 mg). for 31+ years olds. Selenium for a 1 to 2 year old (20 mg) and (female 700 and male 900 mg) for 19+ years olds. These are the minerals that should be contained any vitamin supplements you might decide to take.

Now for the vitamins that should be in your vitamin supplements. Vitamin A for 1 to 3 year olds (300 mg) and (700 female and 900 male mg) for 19 +years olds. Vitamin B6 for 19 + year olds (1.3 mg). Vitamin B12 for 1 to 3 year olds (.09 mc) and ( 2.4 mc). for 19 +year olds. Vitamin D for 1 to 13 year olds (5 mc) and (5 mc) for 19 +year olds. Vitamin E for 1 to 3 year olds (6 mg) and (15 mg) for 14 +year olds. And finally, Vitamin K for adults (80 mc). Just like the ingredients in poga moonga, you should find these ingredients in the vitamin supplements you take. And the amounts should be close to the recommended daily amounts listed above.

Poga Moonga and Amino Acids

Amino Acids are made when protein is broken down by digestion of food. Your body needs amino acids in order to retrieve amino acids from the food we eat. When you consume protein, your body breaks down the protein into individual amino acids before the cells can use them but the proper amount and kind of enzyme is required. When protein is broken down it results in 22 different groups of amino acids.

These are called “proteogenic amino acids” because they make up the 15,000 enzymes and 50, 000 proteins in our bodies. Proteogenic means ”capable of producing protein”. Of the 22 groups of amino acids, eight are not manufactured by our body. These eight are called “essential amino acids”. These acids are as follows: Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine , Threonine, Tryptohpan and Valine. These proteins are named” complete proteins”. They can be found in meat, eggs and soy beans or in a multi-purpose digestive enzyme(an amino acid supplement), like poga moonga.

Because it is hard for us to eat enough meat, eggs and spy bean to get the proper amount of the essential acids, people use a supplement, like poga moonga which contains moringa, a source of all 8 essential amino acids. But you must be careful when using supplements because the right amount is important to good health. It is recommended to consult a physician for the proper amount. Amino acids are the building blocks of our body. They build cells and repair tissue as well as producing antibodies to fight against viruses and bacteria.

They also carry oxygen through the body and are needed for muscle activity. Amino acids help normalize moods, concentration, sex drive, sleep and aggression. If you are experiencing problems with any or a combination of these, it could be a result of your body not getting the proper kind or amount of amino acids. If you can’t concentrate or lack sex drive, it could just be a result of not getting the proper free amino acids. In poga moonga the moringa provides the 8 essential amino acids and aloe vera provides 20 amino acids , so you are sure to get the right amount your body needs.

Poga Moonga and Amino Acid Supplements

Amino acid supplements are available everywhere today but are not all “natural” amino acids. Real food is more nutritious than any supplement you can buy. In fact, food provides nutrients, such as zinc and iron, which your body can absorb more effectively than it can from synthetic supplements. Unlike synthetic supplements, the moringa and aloe vera in poga moonga provide your body with the best source of natural amino acids. Our bodies need all the essential amino acids present in complete proteins, which are found in soybeans, meat and moringa.
These essential amino acids build new cells and build new and repair muscle tissue. As with other nutrients, amino acids are absorbed more effectively from food and plants. Unnatural Amino acid supplements may actually cause imbalances and interfere with the absorption of other amino acids. Food is also cheaper, as supplements can be quite costly.

Essential amino acids are used to build new muscle tissue, so if you’re a weight lifter, the most important factor is to take in enough calories. More calories from carbohydrates are needed to fuel the body so that protein is used to repair and build muscle tissue. If you are on a low calorie diet, precious protein is burned for energy instead of repairing and rebuilding muscle tissue.

Carbohydrates not only provide fuel for muscles but they also provide a hormone response that enhances muscle synthesis. When the ratio of protein to carbohydrates is 1 to 4 (15 percent calories from protein and 60 percent calories from carbohydrates), testosterone used for muscle increase the most, especially in healthy people.

Eating carbohydrates, within one hour of resistance training (one gram of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight), will also help to decrease the breakdown of muscle protein and help build new muscle tissue. Unlike natural poga moonga, Amino acid supplements do not provide the proper amount of carbohydrates to rebuild and repair muscle tissue like you get from natural food and plants.
