Q: How many servings of BAZI can I enjoy per day?
A: We recommend that you have at least one serving per day, however we feel that the most an individual would really need is 5 servings per day. Many of our BAZI drinkers enjoy taking 2 servings (2 ounces) first thing in the morning and taking 1 serving (1 ounce) throughout the day when they need a lift!

Q: At what age would it be best to start giving my child BAZI?
A: Since Bazi is primarily a food-based product, it can be safely consumed by children who are eating solid food. However, we recommend you discuss with your pediatrician first before giving Bazi to your child.

Q: If I am pregnant or nursing should I keep taking BAZI?
A: Bazi can play an important role in any pre/post natal nutritional program, but it's always important to check with your physician first.

Q: Is it safe to take BAZI with my medications?
A: Bazi is based on food and unless there are dietary restrictions with your medications, it should be perfectly safe. However, we recommend first that you check with your physician before starting any new nutritional routine including taking BAZI.

Q: What is the shelf life of BAZI?
A: We recommend that you drink BAZI within the first year of its delivery. Also, after being opened and refrigerated, it's best to drink within 3 weeks.

Q: Should I continue to keep taking the other Bazi products while I'm drinking BAZI?
A: Absolutely. BAZI is a perfect add on to the existing Bazi products. BAZI is formulated to provide you with a multitude of benefits coming from whole fruit sources.

Q: I've noticed there are some minerals in BAZI like Aluminum and Silver, why aren't these harmful?
A: It is important to note that these are natural, plant derived minerals. The minerals are naturally found in the earth and can be found in trace amounts in plants (the earth's soil contains minerals and growing plants take in trace quantities). The minerals are also needed by the body in trace amounts for chemical and metabolic processes. These minerals are important co-factors for some of the body's most vital internal processes.

Q: I feel instant energy with BAZI, is that because of the caffeine?
A: Although BAZI contains some caffeine, the instant energy and clarity you are feeling is coming from the combination of certain elements that are contained within the fruits of BAZI, the B-vitamin complex, and the metabolic enhancing effects of the low levels of caffeine.

Q: How much caffeine is in BAZI?
A: Bazi contains significantly less caffeine than a weak cup of coffee or cup of natural green tea. It’s included to specifically enhance nutrient absorption and assimilation; since caffeine prepares the body to more readily take in nutrients. If someone is sensitive to caffeine, it is best they drink one serving and see how they feel.

Q: Is BAZI all natural?
A: We always search for natural ingredients when formulating products. When natural raw materials are not an option we use pharmaceutical grade components to ensure purity and potency in the product. For example, Bazi incorporates two pharmaceutical-grade stabilizers (Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Benzoate) which have very long histories of safe use by humans. These ingredients, although not natural in origin, increase the safety and performance of the product. In fact, in many countries these two stabilizers are required in liquid beverages.

Q: Does BAZI have Gluten, MSG or Silicates?
A: No, BAZI has been thoroughly tested and does not contain any traces of Gluten, MSG or Silicates.

Q: Is BAZI approved by the FDA?
A: The FDA does not approve any nutritional supplements, however the FDA does provide guidelines as far as ingredients to use and manufacturing processes, which BAZI follows.

Q: Where does the Jujube Fruit come from?
A: Although Jujube Fruit can be found in many places around the world, BAZI contains ONLY Jujube Fruit grown from the prized region of Shandong in China. This region of China offers the optimal conditions and therefore most nutrient dense Jujube Fruit.

Q: I've noticed that sometimes there is a slight difference in color and taste with BAZI, why is that?
A: First, it's important that you make sure to give your BAZI bottle a little shake before pouring, often times the natural fruits and berry extracts can settle and therefore your BAZI could taste and look slightly different. BAZI uses all natural fruits and berries as its main ingredient element, and therefore these all natural sources can change slightly from season to season. Remember, BAZI uses 8 different varieties of fruits and berries, and each of these are grown in different parts of the world. Therefore, depending on the time of harvesting, each fruit can have different exterior properties. These changes can lead to slight changes in color and taste with BAZI. However, it's important to note that each bottle of BAZI is standardized for each ingredient, dosage, and nutrient density.

Q: Why are only certain source farms and growers used for BAZI?
A: Although many of the BAZI fruits and berries can be grown in different parts of the world, there are some areas where certain fruits can be grown consistently with the highest density and quality of nutrition. In these areas of the world, climate, soil, and environment conditions are perfect to grow some of the BAZI fruits. It's also important for Bazi to choose source areas and manufactures where little transportation and minimal pick to process (picking of the fruit from the vine to the processing of the fruit) time occurs.

Q: How much of each fruit is in the Bazi Phyto8 Blend?
A: The Phyto8 Blend is a proprietary blend of 8 fruits known only to Bazi. Extensive research has gone into placing each fruit in a perfect ratio to allow for optimal benefits of health and wellness. This is what makes BAZI so unique and exclusive to Bazi.

Q: I noticed that Calcium is included in the Bazi Mineral Blend, should I stop taking my Calcium complex?
A: The Bazi Mineral Blend contains many major minerals; however they are not in the quantity as individual complexes. If someone has been previously taking any of the individual minerals in the blend separately, Bazi recommends they continue taking their individual complexes along with BAZI.

Q: Do I need to take BAZI with food like my other supplements?
A: No, unlike most nutritional supplements, BAZI is based using natural fruits and naturally contains many buffers to help with its absorption and uptake.

Q: If I mix BAZI with water do I reduce any of the health benefits?
A: No, diluting BAZI with water only adds a buffer (water), the nutrient quantities remain the same.

Q: Is BAZI Kosher?
A: BAZI currently does not follow the spiritual guidelines to be Kosher.

Q: Does BAZI use any artificial sweeteners?
A: No, BAZI's sweetness comes from the natural fruit sugars from the fruits and berries and fructose, a natural sugar.

Q: Is BAZI good for Diabetics?
A: BAZI is a great supplement for Diabetics to get many of nature’s most prized fruits without dealing with the overwhelming amount of sugar. Although at low levels, BAZI does contain some natural sugars, therefore we recommend that after a physician has approved BAZI for the Diabetic they take BAZI in moderation. It is important to note that an individual with a major health issue should always consult their physician before starting any new nutritional routine, including taking BAZI.

Q: I hear so many great testimonials from my friends and family about BAZI, and they are all so different, why is that?
A: BAZI is a unique formula that brings together much of the extensive research of Western medicine and science with the deep, ancient tradition of Eastern medicine, therefore BAZI has the ability to work on many different areas of the body. Many of today's nutritional formulas and pharmaceuticals work on the symptoms of certain conditions, while BAZI contains ingredients that help to strengthen, nourish, and revitalize the root of these conditions, therefore creating a wide array of health benefits. Think of your internal health as a tree, where all the branches on the tree are specific conditions you may have. One branch may have to do with joint pain, another may be energy, and another could be eye health and so on. When taking certain products that are directed to support a certain condition or symptom, you can only support that specific branch of the tree. However, BAZI helps to strengthen and nourish the roots of the tree (or source of health). As these roots are strengthened, the entire tree benefits in many different ways. This is why you hear so many great health benefits of BAZI.

Q: I've noticed that when I took BAZI for the first time, it made me feel a bit dizzy and then went away, why is that?
A: Although on the surface BAZI may look like just a fruit juice, it is very important to note that it is FAR from that. BAZI is a powerful nutritional supplement that has tremendous health benefits derived from the world's most nutritive fruits and berries. BAZI contains ingredients that at first, with those who are sensitive, can give a rush feeling. Everyone is different and they take to foods and nutrition differently; this is why it's important sometimes to let the body get used to (or acclimate to) the feeling that Bazi provides.

Q: Will you be further enhancing the formula of BAZI?
A: Absolutely! Our products have always been at the cutting edge of nutrition, and BAZI is no exception. We will be constantly looking at how to improve and enhance the BAZI formula, either by adding new elements to compliment the existing formula, or by re-evaluating the current ingredients to ensure that we are receiving the best sources and forms.

Q: Because BAZI contains natural fruits, is there a possibility of it containing traces of pesticides?
A: The individual fruits in BAZI undergo literally hundreds of tests and screening processes to ensure that they are free of pesticides and heavy metal contamination. This is just one of the steps that we go through to ensure the safety of BAZI.

Q: Why is there sugar in Bazi?
A: Bazi contains natural fruit sugars from the Phyto8 Blend, pear juice and fructose. Each serving of Bazi contains only 5 grams total of fruit sugars and you would get more sugar from a handful of grapes or several slices of orange. It’s insignificant when compared to the total amount of sugars one would consume if he/she ate a serving of all eight fruits found in Bazi.

Q: Why is there no fiber in Bazi?
A: When we concentrate the fruit extracts from the eight superfruits that make up Bazi, we remove the fats, proteins, water and fibrous portions of the fruit (there are still trace amounts in the concentrate, but not enough to be listed on the label) and keep the unique phytonutrients that naturally occur in each fruit. Since Bazi was formulated to be a concentrated 1oz “shot” of nutrition, the amount of fiber that could be included would be of little benefit. Instead, Bazi provides your body with nutrients which play critical roles in the body, but that most of us do not consume enough of on a day-to-day basis.

Q: Are the ingredients in Bazi organic?
A: The exotic raw materials specified in Bazi are subject to requirements that are far beyond the scope of being simply organic. Classifying a food as organic does not mean it isn’t free from harmful contaminants nor does it create a more nutritious product. The major issue with sourcing organic raw materials is that regulations on the definition of “organic” vary from state to state and country to country. There simply is no uniform set of guidelines which covers all foods/raw materials in all states and countries. Not to mention the difficulty in ensuring that documentation for each raw material from international sources is correct and factual.

What’s much more critical for raw material selection is in its purity, potency and consistency. We use performance criteria for raw materials that are measurable through laboratory testing and validation. For example, each of the eight superfruits used in Bazi must undergo literally hundreds of tests for heavy metal, volatile organic chemical, PCB and pesticide contamination. The fact of the matter is, a food can be grown “organically” and still be contaminated with one or more of these dangerous compounds. Our strict internal Q & A procedures, at our partner manufacturing facility, virtually eliminate any chance that a contaminated raw material will make it through production. In fact, each and every raw material is kept in quarantine in a separate section of the facility when it first arrives, until a sample is tested and approved for use in Bazi. It must match the specifications set forth by us, and if it doesn’t, it’s rejected and sent back to the supplier.

Secondly, organic foods are not necessarily more nutritious than their non-organic counterparts. Again, what is more important is nutrient consistency. The nutrient content claim on the label of a bottle of Bazi is based on calculated (and validated) nutrient values of each raw material; we standardize particular nutrients in order to make value claims.

Finally, there is the important issue of cost. Formulating Bazi from organic-only sources would considerably increase the cost to the consumer, and this would be with absolutely no measurable health advantages to our current sources. You can be assured that Bazi is made with the finest raw materials available, anywhere. That’s just one of the reasons why Bazi is truly in a class all its own!

Q: Where is Bazi made and what is the history of the product?
A: Bazi is manufactured in the United States by our state-of-the-art partner facility, which is an FDA inspected and licensed manufacturer. We cannot disclose the name of the facility due to our manufacturing agreement; however, we can assure you that it is equipped with the latest technology in nutritional supplement manufacturing and follows the strictest protocols in raw materials selection and testing. What this means to you and your customers is that you can enjoy Bazi with the full confidence that it is produced using only the highest quality raw materials and the best manufacturing processes available.

Many of the ingredients that make up Bazi have been used by humans for thousands of years, but Bazi has been available to the consumer for the past several years. One of the individuals behind the development of Bazi and the founder of XELR8, Sandy Greenberg, researched the use of foods from around the world for their health-supporting properties and that was the inspiration behind Bazi. As you are well aware, the rest is history and Bazi truly is the culmination of 4000 years of tradition!

Finally, who do you want to trust with your health? We can assure you that you can trust your health and the health of your family with our products, because we trust the health of our families with them, too.

Q: What is the ORAC value of Bazi?
A: ORAC values are important in evaluating a compound’s potential for supporting good health, but it’s only a small piece of a large puzzle. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) is simply a bench test for scientists to determine the POTENTIAL antioxidant value of a given compound. It does not measure or evaluate an antioxidant’s actual value once in the body. In fact, it does not measure whether an antioxidant can even be utilized by the body. This is called “bioavailability” and bioavailability is really much more important for antioxidant performance and benefit to the user than ORAC values. ORAC is a good starting point, but it’s certainly not the definitive test on the health properties of particular food.

In addition, there are different methodologies in determining ORAC scores and one score form one testing protocol will not be comparable to others. Since there is no uniform methodology it really is impossible to compare products simply based on ORAC scores.

As stated earlier, bioavailability is really the critical component of an antioxidant, and the superfruits in Bazi have been shown through peer-review, third party studies to provide antioxidants in a form that the body can readily utilize. That’s real science and real proof of the power of Bazi!
