Real quick–I have been looking to hear about the Zrii brand’s involvement in community events and I noticed this story in the Deseret Morning News:
The Osmonds continue family’s musical legacy with Christmas shows. The Christmas concert is presented by the Zrii company, and the proceeds will benefit the Christmas Box House.

The Zrii Phenomenon: 5,000 Years Of Ayurvedic Principles
November 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Like many forms of alternative healing, Ayurvedic medicine has recently found a receptive audience in the United States. Author and physician Deepak Chopra popularized many Ayurvedic concepts through his best-selling books, and celebrities such as Ralph Fiennes and Cher have reportedly consulted with Ayurvedic practitioners. Former supermodel Christy Turlington has a skin-care line based on the tradition’s practices.
Although there is little in the way of evidence from Western science to endorse Ayurvedic approaches, practitioners say it would not have survived so many centuries unless it was grounded in timeless truths about the workings of the body and human nature.
Ayurvedic medicine shares similarities with traditional Chinese medicine - both are types of “energy medicine” which teach that the key to good health is a proper balance of energy within the body. They also correlate many human traits to natural elements such as fire, earth, water and air.
Central to Ayurvedic medicine is the concept that there are three governing forces at work inside the body, called doshas. Each corresponds to elements found in nature, and each is present in all of us to varying degrees.
It is when our doshas get out of balance that trouble strikes, and Ayurvedic medicine then uses various means, including diet, behavior changes and body treatments, to pacify an overexpressed dosha.

Review Of Zrii
November 13, 2007 | Leave a Comment
My review of Zrii health drink: If you haven’t heard already, a new company is causing a lot of buzz in the network marketing industry. Zrii is the company and the name of a health juice that is whole heartedly endorsed by the Chopra Center.
Of course, with so many health drinks on the market I wanted to assess what differentiated Zrii from the rest of them. The first thing that caught my attention is the bottle it comes in. I must admit that just the bottle alone attracts a person to the juice.
Every Zrii bottle has the Chopra Center endorsement prominently displayed which commands the immediate respect of this reviewer.
The Zrii amalaki juice itself is a bold red color and as you pour it into your glass you can see how hearty the drink is from all the herbs and seeds that stick to the side of the glass. Like with all nutritional drinks, I’m always a little suspicous of how good it will taste. Especially since Zrii is an ayurvedic formulation that combines many herbs with the famous amalaki fruit.
So how did it taste? It definitely exceeded my expectations!! In fact, I think I would rate Zrii as being the best tasting health juice on the market. It has such a good flavor that it makes a person want to drink the whole bottle in one setting (I’m not kidding).
It doesn’t matter how good a juice tastes unless it actually has an impact on your system. There are many juices that are extremely healthy and taste horrible—and there are many juices that taste great and are nothing more then watered down fruit juices.
My review of Zrii was upgraded as I began to feel an effect the formulation had on me even after a few ounces of the juice. Within a few minutes my chest felt warm and my energy perked up a little. At one point my nose even began to run a little—probably from all the herbs. After about half an hour I felt really good.
In conclusion, Zrii passed my test with flying colors. It looks good, it tastes great and it has an impact on the body. What more could you ask from health juice?
With Zrii being the original amalaki drink that is backed by the world famous Chopra Center, is it any wonder that it is causing such a buzz in the industry?

The Amalaki Berry, Zrii and Your Heart Health
November 13, 2007 | 1 Comment
The amalaki berry has been central to Indian Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years because this small fruit contains an abundance of nutrients and antioxidants, and is probably the most potent source of vitamin C available.
In Ayurveda the amalaki berry is highly esteemed for its role in cleansing the blood as well as nourishing and protecting the heart. The high concentration of antioxidants in the amalaki berry are believed to combat free radicals and protect the tissues of the circulatory system by preventing damage that leads to the buildup of fatty plaques.
Modern science has recently begun to investigate amalaki in an effort to validate the traditional uses of this fruit. Researchers have found that amalaki possesses an impressive nutrient profile that includes polyphenols, amino acids, trace minerals, antioxidants, tannins, bioflavonoids, ellagic acid, gallic acid, embilicanin-polyphenols, rutin and quercetin superoxide-dismutase.
Recent studies indicate that amalaki can lower blood cholesterol levels, protect bloods vessels and reverse pre-existing damage.
According to the American Heart Association, Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) rank as America’s No. 1 killer, claiming the lives of over 36 percent of the more than 2.4 million people who die each year in the United States. This, it seems, would be good enough reason to give the amalaki berry serious consideration.
Dozens of scientific studies have demonstrated that the properties of amalaki are beneficial to the heart. Recent experiments have shown that the amalaki berry is rich in powerful antioxidants that have remarkable abilities to scavenge for free radicals. It has been documented that amalaki can reduce the levels of lipid peroxides in the blood and in the liver. This is significant in the fact that these lipids are very dangerous free radicals that cause serious damage.
Stress is a major contributing factor to the onset of heart attacks. One study found that amalaki strengthened the body’s ability to combat stress-induced free radical damage.
Several other studies support the use of amalaki as an agent to reduce elevated cholesterol levels. A recent study, published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, demonstrated that amalaki juice reduced the effects of a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet in rabbits. The juice appeared to protect the arteries and prevent the damage that normally occurs when there is an accumulation of fatty plaques. When testing the rabbits, it was also discovered that there was a decrease in the amount of existing deposits of plaque in the blood vessels. From this, the researchers concluded that the intake of amalaki juice may not only protect the blood vessels, but may also reduce pre-existing damage.
In a study conducted on laboratory mice with high blood cholesterol levels, 12 weeks of amalaki supplementation reduced the serum cholesterol of these mice significantly below the levels in the control group. The degree of atherosclerosis in the Amalaki feed rats at the end of the 12 week period was much lower in comparison to the control group. Similarly, research conducted using human subjects concluded that amalaki is able to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Interestingly, the researchers found that blood cholesterol levels began to increase shortly after the intake of amalaki was discontinued, indicating a direct correlation between the intake of amalaki and the cholesterol levels.
All these studies are validation of what has been accepted knowledge about the amalaki berry and heart health by ayurvedic practioners for centuries. If you are concerned about your heart’s health you may want to consider a daily dose of amalaki.
Amalaki has long been available in powder and tablet form. Just recently, it has become available in a liquid formulation. Zrii-The Original Amalaki is a superior-quality, nutritionally complete liquid supplement and the only third-party product endorsed by the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. Zrii is only available for purchase through Independent Distributors.
Zrii was formulated by a team of award-winning Western doctors, Ayurvedic physicians and experts in the field of chemistry and nutrition, led by Dr. David Simon, co-founder of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. Zrii combines the whole amalaki berry with six other botanicals and fruits, schizandra, turmeric, tulsi, jujube, haritaki and ginger, which work synergistically to unlock the potency of the amalaki fruit.
The nutritional profile of Zrii, combined with botanicals that are also documented to have health benefits, makes it a product to be considered not only for improving heart health, but for raising overall health and wellness to a new level.
Take care of your heart and drink Zrii.
