MARNYS® Graviolamar Complex and its ingredients provide the following properties:
- Soursop (graviola) is a fruit with high nutritional value and is rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids. It is widely used in the traditional herbology of the American natives, and in India and Malaysia.
- Vitamin E contributes to cellular protection from oxidative damage (EFSA). Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and its dietary sources are vegetable oils from corn, wheat germ, sunflower, soya bean, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables (spinach and broccoli).
- L-glutathione is a compound naturally found in almost any plant and animal cells, and it functions within the oxidation-reduction balance in the human body.
- Broccoli is an extraordinary source of glycosides (glucosinolates and isothiocyanates), vitamins (A, C, E, K), polyphenols and minerals (especially selenium). The cultivation and consumption of broccoli dates back to the Roman Empire and is considered the vegetable with the highest nutritional value per weight unit, being used fresh, in juices or as a frozen product.
- The bark of Maritime Pine contains high concentrations of proanthocyanidins. The first use of pine bark extracts dates back to 1535, when the French explorer Jacques Cartier and his crew didn't suffer from scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) thanks to drinking a tea made from pine bark.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding, protein and glycogen metabolism, as well as to normal immune function and to reduction of tiredness and fatigue (EFSA).

Soursop (Graviola): a wonderful fruit
Annona muricata, commonly known as soursop, graviola or guyabano, belongs to the family Annonaceae comprising approximately 130 genera and 2300 species. It is native to the warmer tropical areas of South and North America and currently is widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical parts of the world, including India, Malaysia and Nigeria.
The Graviola tree is an evergreen, erect tree that reaches 5-8m in height and has an open, rounded canopy with large, shiny, dark green leaves. This tree’s edible fruits are large, heart-shaped and green, and the diameter ranges between 15 and 20cm.
Extensive phytochemical tests of different parts of the Annona muricata plant have demonstrated the presence of several phyto-constituents and compounds, including alkaloids, megastigmans, flavonol triglycosides, phenolics, cyclopeptides and essential oils, and it is also a generally rich source of annonaceous acetogenin compounds.
The Soursop (graviola) fruit is low in fat and calories, only 53.1 to 63.1 per 100g of the edible part. It is also a moderate source of fibre and its pulp contains easily metabolised carbohydrates. Soursop (Graviola) provides vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin and provitamin A and is a source of minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and especially potassium.
