Meganox – Super Antioxidant
Aside from being sweet and the source of our Bacolod sugar, sugarcane is more than that. It is rich in antioxidants that can now be found in Meganox.
In this day and age of a stressful lifestyle, wellness has become a mantra for many. Despite the demands of work, people need health and vitality to combat the stresses of a fast-paced lifestyle. This balance is needed so that we could still enjoy a full life with loved ones. We can surely balance this, even after a hectic day at work.
What You Need to be Healthy
This is where diet, exercise, and health supplements come in. And one thing that plays a big part of maintaining good health is the taking of antioxidants. Here in Bacolod City, Philippines, we have the product that is considered as the most powerful antioxidant in the world. It is aptly called Meganox–derived from what else?, but our very own sugarcane.
Meganox contains more than 1.2 million ORAC units, which is more than any other antioxidant.*
*”The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) method to quantify the antioxidant property, as promulgated by USDA scientists, has been used to rank common foods (ORAC units/100 g).”

But first things first. Let us discuss the basics.
What is antioxidant?
According to wikipedia, “An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals. In turn, these free radicals can start chain reactions. When the chain reaction occurs in a cell, it can cause damage or death to the cell. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions. They do this by being oxidized themselves, so antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), or polyphenols.”
The irony is that, the oxidation process is vital to life. However, too much can also be damaging and can lead to lifestyle diseases. That is where antioxidants come in.
What is MEGANOX™?
Meganox is by far the most powerful antioxidant in the market today. It is safe to say that Meganox is the best antioxidant by far. It has reportedly the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) values, as it contains over 1 million ORAC units per 100 grams. Since it is very potent, you only need 1 capsule per day. It is derived from sugarcane, however, because of a special patented process in producing it, each capsule does not contain sugar at all.
Meganox is a proudly made in Negros Occidental, Philippines and is distributed by Forever Nutriliving Corp.–a subsidiary company of Sagay Central, Inc.. SCI manager Primitivo Rivera said that Meganox is the first antioxidant that comes from sugarcane extract. The production of the food supplement is done in their plant in Sagay City, Negros Occidental.

Dear sigrid,
Thank you for maintaining this blog site 👏 I would like to ask you since your right there in negros close to the site manufacture,if the sugarcane powder is sensitive to heat since most boticas and pharmacies ignore this factor that may affect the antioxidant potency subject to oxidation due to the warm weather. Moreover,which is MORE effective taking the sugarcane freshly juiced or is it the powder form? Similar to my quandary on mallungay leaves should we cook bu heating it or is it more effective when dried and in pill form?
Thanks,
Dickson
