Although the winter has come and gone, some of us aren't lucky enough to just be "seasonal

illness" people... Those colds, coughs, and flu viruses seem to still attack even when it is getting nicer all around.
For this reason, it is important to never forget about caring for your immune system. One of the best ways to keep you immune system going strong is by including a fair amount of Elderberry Juice in your diet!
According to
Buzzle.com, "
The most important benefit of elderberry juice is its ability to prevent and cure illnesses related to the respiratory system like asthma, bronchitis, common cold, sore throat, cough and flu."
It does this through its very strong ability to reduce mucus and prevent congestion!
So stop the problem before it starts, check out
Biotta's website, and see where you can order
Elderberry Juice or any of our other fresh juices!

If you have spent much time reading up on our juices, you may have seen that our
Elderberry Juice is our only juice to which we've added sugar. There is a very simple reason behind that...
Berry juices such as elderberry are naturally very strong and sour tasting. Sugar is added for drinking pleasure. The flavor is enhanced with appropriate tea blends and/or the addition of unrefined sugar or agave juice to neutralize acids.
The sugar used is 100% natural and the healthiest way to improve the flavor of our juice!
Since we're on the topic of Elderberry Juice, did you know that it is packed full of Vitamin C and great for building up your immune system!

One of the words we often use to describe our juices here at
Biotta would be
PURE. What do we mean by that? It's pretty simple...
Every one of our juices is
100% organic, meaning that at no time during the cultivation process

do the fruits or vegetables come in contact with chemicals or pesticides. We grow them organically, and safely in order to keep them as pure and healthy for you as possible, which makes the best organic juice possible!
Also, nearly none of our juices have any added sugar
(elderberry juice has some added sugar to take away the sour taste). Also, our juices have
no added caffeine, artificial flavoring or artificial colors. We don't want to create an artificial beverage with an artificial flavor and no health benefits. Our fresh juices are some of the healthiest beverages you can put in your body!

Who would have thought that this series could have lasted to a "Part VI"?? It's true! The

more research I've been able to do into caffeine and its negative affect on the body, the more I'm realize how unhealthy it can be.
Today's research lead me to finding a
list of hormones affected by a diet high in caffeine. I was shocked to see just how much caffeine alters the chemical makeup of our bodies. Below I've listed some of the hormones affected:
- Adenosine- Can inhibit absorption of adenosine, which calms the body, which can make you feel alert in the short run, but can cause sleep problems later.
- Adrenaline- Caffeine injects adrenaline into your system, giving you a temporary boost, but possibly making you fatigued and depressed later. If you take more caffeine to counteract these effects, you end up spending the day in an agitated state, and might find yourself jumpy and edgy by night.
- Cortisol- Can increase the body’s levels of cortisol, the “stress hormone”, which can lead to other health consequences ranging from weight gain and moodiness to heart disease and diabetes.
- Dopamine- Caffeine increases dopamine levels in your system, acting in a way similar to amphetamines, which can make you feel good after taking it, but after it wears off you can feel ‘low’. It can also lead to a physical dependence because of dopamine manipulation.
With enough things these days causing stress and health issues, cutting out caffeine seems like the perfect way to start a change toward better health. This is exactly why
Biotta Juices includes no added caffeine. We are dedicated toward promoting a healthy lifestyle in all areas of your life

and cutting or limiting caffeine is the perfect place to start.
All of our heart healthy juices, from our organic
beet juice to our
elderberry juice, contain no added caffeine and are packed full of essential vitamins and minerals that will help lead you to a healthier life!

Sometimes, there seems to be a bit of an overload when it comes to advice on how to live a

healthy lifestyle. Everyone likes to give advice and every persons body is different. This is why I would like to spend a few posts breaking down some of the major keys to healthy living that are applicable
to ANY person ANY time!
I wrote

If you've kept up with this blog at all, you know that

Did you know that elderberries actually have many other health benefits on top of their immune boosting powers? Some of the
benefits of elderberry juice are...

When you read the title of this post, you probably laughed. When you look at your mile-long to-do list and the time you don't have to finish it, you (myself included) can't help; but laugh at the idea of reducing stress levels.
Obviously,
Biotta's juices aren't going to magically complete all of your tasks (we're working on that formula), but our juices can help in managing and even reducing the amount of stress your body takes on.

One suggestion might be a glass of our
Breakfast Blend in the morning to help give you the energy you need to make it through the day!
Another, more scientific approach would be
Elderberry Juice! Research shows that elderberry juice has very significant effects on reducing stress.
According to one scientist who completed
the study,
“We only gave these people the elderberry for ten days,” he notes with expansive hand gestures. “We put them through typical stress tests, all the usual physical challenges, and the results were so remarkable, I checked them over and over.”
In the study, various bio-markers of stress, including glucose, magnesium and other plasma chemical levels, were analyzed. “What we found was that elderberry has this extraordinary effect for reducing stress,” Porta found that daily intake of elderberry extract greatly decreased susceptibility to stress, and significantly shortened recovery time from physical exertion."
Who knew that fresh juices could produce such beneficial results in the body!? So next time the boss walks by and starts asking you about your TPS Reports, instead of reaching for the stress ball, reach for a bottle of
Elderberry Juice!

In an article on
SheKnows.com regarding the "Top 10 Ways to Boost Your Immune System", we were thrilled to see that we made it on the list! The article highlighted three of Biotta's delicious juices, including
beet juice,
elderberry juice, and our
vegetable juice cocktail!
Here is an excerpt:

The Vegetable Cocktail Juice is ripe with organically-derived immunity-upping nutrients from carrots, beets, celeriac, and tomatoes. Biotta has a total of 11 organic juices, all of which are considered functional juices in that each targets a specific health issue.

If there is one thing I have found true about trying to live healthy it is this: Healthy Living is a process, as visualized by the following diagram:
I don't want to discourage anyone who sets goals for themselves, those can be great! If you want to have a certain blood pressure or be a certain weight, go for it! But one thing to keep in mind is there is not point of having "Arrived." You also can't focus on one aspect of your health and forget about all of the others.
It is just as important to remain active with exercise, find ways to minimize the toxins in the body and reduce stress as it is to eat healthy. That is why we are dedicated to providing heart healthy juice for our consumers as well as resources in this blog to find information about a healthy lifestyle.

Ever wondered what exactly it means when a juice advertises itself as being "100% Juice?" If you're interested in
Biotta's juices, this would be a piece of information you would probably like to know!
Nearly every one of our juices are 100% Juice. This means that there is nothing else added in. No additives, preservatives, or anything else that may lead it to being "from concentrate." Mixed juices can only be 100% Juice if all included fruits or vegetables are 100% pure.
Here is the breakdown of Biotta's Juices:
100% Juice Beet
Carrot
Vegetable Juice Cocktail (in this case, the 'cocktail' denotes a blend of vegetable juices)
Bruess® Vegetable Juice
Celery
Sauerkraut
Potato
Fruit juices are typically too tart or strong to consume at 100% juice. Therefore, we blend our organic fruit juices with other juices as well as tea extracts to make them more palatable. 74% Juice Breakfast Blend
70% Juice Elderberry

Many people may be asking why the popularity of organic foods has risen so much recently. Also, you may wonder why Biotta made the decision to produce only organic vegetable juice and fruit juices. To put it simply, organic foods and drinks are 100%... organic. In the growth, harvesting, and processing phase, things like pesticides, artificial flavors and preservatives are
never used.
What does this mean for the body? According to
Weightlossandtraining.com, "So is organic food better for you? Well if you consider that decreasing your toxin burden and increasing your intake of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can have a significant impact on health, then it certainly is."

Going organic was never a "joining the fad" decision for Biotta. We've been doing it since the beginning - we're a pioneer in organic farming and production. Our mission is to
promote good health and vitality. Being organic supports that mission. If you are looking for more information on our products, check out our

This is the first part of a multi-segment series on the health benefits of cutting caffeine out of your diet.
As you may know,
all* of Biotta's organic vegetable juice, fruit juice, and blends are 100% caffeine free! We are dedicated to providing the most healthy juice possible and we know that cutting caffeine is an easy starting point...
Fact #1: Caffeine can prevent your body from absorbing vitamins and minerals.
According to Dr. Dan Rutherford on
NetDoctor.co.uk, "[Caffeine] can increase the excretion of vitamins and minerals from the body, so you won't get the full benefits of healthy foods."
When you fill your diet with caffeinated drinks, you are making it more difficult for your body to use all the vitamins and minerals you ingest every day.
Think about it, for every cup of coffee or soda you drink, you can easily be canceling out that healthy breakfast/lunch/dinner you tried to have. And according to Dr. Rutherford, it can take up to 18 hours for caffeine to completely leave your system, meaning it is with you for the entire day.

Like I mentioned earlier, every one* of Biotta's juices is caffeine free. For more nutrition information on our
elderberry juice,
beet juice, or any of our other juices, check out Products page
here!
(In the next "Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine" post- Heart Rate & Energy)*Biotta Energy Drink does contain natural caffeine from Guarana.

I hate getting sick. It seems like every winter I'm struck with it all- a cold, the flu, a sinus infection... you name it, I've had it. And ever since I had a severe respiratory tract infection a few years ago, I've always suffered from congestion and coughs.

After reading an
article from Natural-HomeRemedies, it became clear to me how easy (and delicious) it can be to attack these problems in the future: Elderberry Juice.
The benefits of elderberry juice are countless, but the respiratory related ones are fascinating.
According to Natural-HomeRemedies:
"When the juice is consumed, the anti-inflammatory properties of the juice work to reduce the amount of mucus secreted. It drains the mucus out of the body, thereby reducing the signs of nasal congestion."
Whether you're trying to prevent getting sick or trying to get over something, elderberry juice is effective. While other juices may claim to help against respiratory problems,
Biotta's elderberry juice is the only 100% natural juice that you'll find!
