Everything You Need to Know about NingXia Red

NingXia Red is Young Living’s whole food Wolfberry purée drink. You may be thinking, “Yeah, every wellness company has an ‘amazing’ drink.” But I am here to tell you that NingXia is actually amazing. I had my doubts about it when I first became a Young Living (YL) customer. I figured it was just another one of those drinks that promised big results but never delivered. After all, the recommended daily serving is just 2-4 ounces. Much to my surprise, NingXia has never failed me! And as an added bonus, it tastes delicious! Read on to learn more about all benefits of this world-famous fruit purée.

What’s It Made Of?

First and foremost, NingXia Red is made of the Wolfberry that is native to north-central China. The Wolfberry is touted as being an antioxidant powerhouse. In addition, NingXia boasts nutrient-dense blueberry, plum, cherry, aronia, and pomegranate juices, grape seed extract, Yuzu, Tangerine, Lemon and Orange essential oils, stevia and pure vanilla extract for flavor. These ingredients together provide an immense amount of health benefits. Just one single ounce of NingXia Red has the antioxidant power of:

• 4 Pounds Carrots
• 2 Quarts Carrot Juice
• 8 Oranges
• 1 Pint Orange Juice
• 2 Pounds Beets
• 2 Cups Beet Juice
• 3 Cups Raspberries
• 2 Cups Blueberries
• … combined!

Holy cow, that is A LOT of antioxidants! It’s no secret that antioxidants are good for our bodies. But what’s the be deal about them? Let’s take a look.

Antioxidants

I consulted my Life Steps app (an info-packed app all about YL products) to learn more about antioxidants. Since it does such a succinct job of explaining why this topic is important, I am including the app’s definition:

“Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as ‘free radical scavengers’ and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.”

So, antioxidants are pretty important. Most of us do not consume enough foods/drinks in a day to provide our bodies with the necessary amount of antioxidants to fight free radicals. NingXia is an easy and great-tasting way to give our intake a big boost!

Additional Nutritional Benefits

Not only is NingXia Red a bolstering source of antioxidants, it has other wonderful health benefits as well. “It is rich in ellagic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, it has 18 amino acids, 21 trace minerals, beta-carotene, and vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E. It is an excellent whole-food source of nutrients that gives energy and strength to the body without harmful stimulants. It also has an amazing low glycemic index of 11 that does not spike blood sugar levels” (Life Steps app). 

NingXia does not disappoint when it comes to bringing valuable nutrition into the body!

The Emotional Connection

When our bodies receive high-quality nutrition we can typically see and feel physical improvements. Drinking the recommended amount of NingXia Red daily (2-4 oz) can also help produce positive emotional changes. When the antioxidants in NingXia fight free radicals in the body, it helps the body facilitate emotional healing. Antioxidants have been proven to aid the body in processing emotions like stress, trauma, grief, overwhelm and fear. These are all emotions we do not want stored in our bodies, it is imperative that we take necessary steps to process them out. Drinking NingXia daily is an easy way to do this!

What Can NingXia Red Do For YOU?

So, we know NingXia is packed with tons of antioxidants and nutrients. But what can this drink do for you, specifically? The nutrient density in 2 ounces of NingXia has the power to curb sugar cravings and even support smooth, even skin. It can help regulate both hormone and blood sugar levels while also supporting a healthy immune system. But wait…there’s more!

A 2020 clinical study facilitated by The Franklin Health Research Center produced some exciting, but not surprising, results about the benefits of NingXia Red. The study randomized 160 healthy adults between the ages of 18-65 into treatment and control groups. The treatment group drank 2 ounces of NingXia per day for 60 days. Participants in this group reported that NingXia produced the following results:

• improved sleep patterns
  • Increased time of sleep by an average of 21 minutes
  • Decreased time it took to fall asleep by an average of 6 minutes
• increased productivity
• reduced daily stress
• improved mental wellbeing
• increased physical energy levels
• reduced physical limitations
• improved gastrointestinal health
• reduced headaches
• improved respiratory function

These are some pretty fantastic results! Just by drinking 2 ounces of a fruit purée per day? I am happy to say that it isn’t too good to be true!

FAQs

There are naturally questions about this powerhouse purée and all it has to offer. The Life Steps app has answers to the most frequently asked questions about NingXia. I have taken those questions and answers and included them here:

Can I give NingXia Red to my kids?

The benefits of Ningxia Red are excellent for children! Think about how difficult it can be to get all the veggies and nutrition needed into their little bodies. Having an option to give them that is easy and tastes great is priceless.

The decision of when/if to give NingXia to your child is up to you as the informed parent or caregiver. Many parents choose to give it to children around the same time they give them other plant-based foods. It is usually best to begin with 1 oz. and then work up to the adult recommendation of 2 oz. It is common for children 2+ to drink 2+ ounces per day.

Is NingXia safe during pregnancy?

When it comes to using NingXia Red during pregnancy, that is ultimately up to you and your care provider. But thousands of women have seen wonderful results drinking it throughout their pregnancies.

Ningxia Red is food. It is made of fruits and plants. And antioxidants are crucial for reproductive health, helping to clean out the reproductive system to create an environment where a baby can thrive. Drinking Ningxia during pregnancy can often help to keep morning sickness at bay. It can also support healthy energy levels during a time when the body is going through great physical demands.

Can I drink NingXia if I have diabetes?

You must answer that question based on your body’s response to the product. You can do a test by drinking NingXia, waiting 15 minutes, and then checking your blood sugar. Add healthy fats and proteins whenever taking in sugars, even those naturally occurring in fruits. NingXia does fall well within recommended guidelines for carb and sugar intake for those with diabetes.

Can I drink NingXia if I need to avoid nightshades?

There is evidence to suggest that some nightshades can exaggerate inflammation in the body and should be avoided by those with autoimmune diseases. The NingXia wolfberry contains a balance between polysaccharides and solanine. This suggests that balance may be in place with this particular fruit. 

Can I drink NingXia if I take a blood thinning medication?

 Make sure that you research  your specific medications and know your body. There have been people who have reported a thinning of blood with regular usage of the wolfberry. If on medications, be very sure that you consistently use your NingXia daily and at the same amount. This way, your doctor can help you adjust your dosage to work well with your NingXia intake.
