The Science Behind Kalari Crush

by Vic Cherikoff / Wednesday, 27 February 2013 / Published in Kalari Crush

You might like to download our ebook, Superfoods and Kalari Crush on the Nutritional value of the ingredients in Kalari Crush. It is a detailed summary and points out just how unique our product really is and we hope that you’ll pass on the link to anyone you know who might be interested in improving their health.

Much of the information in our e-book comes from an Australian Government Report on research which was conducted independently of Kakadu International Pty Ltd. Please note that our company did not contribute any funding or support which may lead detractors to claim a bias in the results.

Here is a summary of the findings:

This report represents the first systematic evaluation of antioxidant capacity and the identification of its sources along with the presence of potentially bioactive phytochemicals and selected vitamins.

The science confirmed the overall antioxidant capacity of a number of wild foods at record levels and 11 of these foods are in Kalari Crush

The research also included an evaluation of minerals, focusing especially on those that protect human DNA against mutations that can lead to the development of a range of chronic diseases.

Australian species evaluated in this study exhibited superior antioxidant capacity as compared to the Blueberry standard, renowned worldwide as a health-promoting fruit.

And there was a new revelation, never before reported: In comparison to commonly consumed fruits that comprise predominantly hydrophilic (water soluble) antioxidants, Australian native foods contained antioxidant activity in both hydrophilic and lipophilic (fat soluble)  fractions. This suggests more comprehensive protection from oxidative stress and undoubtedly, more pronounced health benefits.

All of the evaluated plant species were found to contain vitamin E and folate. Rich sources of lutein, a compound essential for eye health are also present, as were magnesium, zinc and calcium, all important for the synthesis and self-repair of human DNA. Additionally, sources of valuable selenium were identified.

    My mother has seen kalari cush on TVSN and shes a type 1 diabetic. What is the sugar content per serve please? She tried talking to customer service at TVSN and found them to be quite rude and non helpful. She really would like to try your product but her Doctor needs this information first.
    Kind regards

      Hi Andrea,

      I am sorry that you mother had a bad experience with TVSN Customer Service staff. I will have a work with their management and see if we can re-train them to actually service customers (unique concept, I know).

      Andrea, Kalari Crush contains good sugars and a mix of other naturally occurring simple monosaccharides from the fruits in the product. The modern scourge of nutritional diseases are precipitated by sucrose, a disaccharide which is commercially manufactured from a single plant in Australia and only 3 worldwide. I am sure that your mother’s doctor can appreciate the health ramifications of anyone relying on a large proportion of their energy intake on just a single ingredient.

      The good news about Kalari Crush is that it is a whole food of superior nutritional value. Naturally, improving your nutrition is best done under medical supervision and with self monitoring of blood sugars and we highly recommend a softly-softly approach.

      I recall that you emailed me directly and please do let me know how your mother is doing so far.

      Cheers,
      Vic

      Hi Josephine,

      While we cannot make claims as to efficacy against any disease. I do urge you to try it but also to inform your doctor as to your intentions. If you are on medication for elevated BP then this disclosure to your disease-care professional is even more important. They may suggest that you reduce any medication to balance the beneficial effects of our product.

      Please let me know what you find.

      Kindest regards,
      Vic

    Hi Vic

    I actually have bought your product from TVSN and I recieved the very best of service they were extremely helpful and went the extra mile.

    Would you be so kind and send me the email regarding the sugar in the Kalari Crush as I have purchased 6 bottles and am concerned with the high sugar of 3g per 30mls.

    I await your expedient reply.

    Robbee

    1. Vic Cherikoff says :Reply
      July 11, 2014 at 12:24 pm

      Hi Robbee,

      The sugars in Kalari Crush include a host of good sugars that help enhance the absorption of the other phytonutrients it delivers. We do add trehalose also known as Resurrection Sugar but all the other good sugars come from the fruits we use and which are all selected for their antioxidant quality.

      I’ll send you the sugar list by direct email.

      Thanks for your interest and I do hope that you continue to get great service from TVSN and great results from our product.

      Cheers,
      Vic

    I suffer with anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD and phobias I have been told that my issues could be coming from vitamin and mineral deficiencies or that my anxiety is being made worse by the deficiency just wondering if I could get a comprehensive list of the vitamins, minerals, and any other elements that are in kalari crush. I have been taking for about 5 months and not seeing a big improvement. Thank you.

      July 11, 2014 at 12:41 pm

      Hi Raffaele,

      I’ll send you a booklet via direct email which summarizes the major nutrients in the ingredients in Kalari Crush. It is not an exhaustive list as this field of medicine and food chemistry is right at the front edge of nutritional science. I do recommend that if anyone suffers from health challenges, they should increase their intake of our highly nutritious product. It works right at a cellular level even supporting reactions inside cellular organs such as the mitochondria (our cell’s powerhouses).

      We cannot make any claims over the efficacy against any medical condition. There are many beneficial micronutrients in Kalari Crush that make the product a valuable addition to your diet.

      Kalari has also supported a weight loss program I developed and last year I lost over 25kg and have kept it off successfully resetting my fat point closer to my ideal weight.

      Have you noticed the lack of a need for a nap in the afternoons around 2 – 3pm and on weekends? This energy comes from antioxidants and anti-inflammatories working on cells and assisting the thousands of biochemical reactions going on inside each one of our 100 trillion cells.

      Let me know how you go if you do choose to test out taking 2 or 3 shots of Kalari daily for a few weeks.

      Cheers,
      Vic

    Vic, you mention that you developed a weight loss program and that you have kept your weight off .
    Could you please email me( not post ) the program. Have just ordered my 5 bottles of Kalari crush from TVSN. My constant battle with food and my weight is depressing.
    Thank you

      July 26, 2014 at 1:32 pm

      Hi Josie. I know what you mean. I was carrying an extra 25kg and so developed my program. It worked for me and I have kept the weight off for over a year now. I know there’s no chance that it is a bounce back so it’s off for good.

      Let me know how you go using the system.

      Cheers,
      Vic

    You have always come across on TVSN as someone who is honest and has integrity . Thank you for responding.
    I will let you know how I go.
    I am going to start on the ” slim down phase” as I feel for me this is doable.
    Plus the addition of 30 ml of Kalari Crush 30 minutes before a meal and go back to drinking water prior
    and during my meals
    I don’t use sauces or condiments of any kind for flavouring on my proteins. I already use the dressings
    As suggested.
    The real test will be how the Kalari crush helps with my ” carb” binges!
    My biggest downfall is simply cards. Will read and prepare to succeed.
    Thank you

    hello Vic, your product sounds really the panacea we’ve been waiting for.. i’d be most appreciative for all information on the sugars delivered in Kalari, and as to whether they may affect insulin resistance unfavourably. Thank you! cheers, Gail

    1. Vic Cherikoff says :Reply
      October 21, 2014 at 6:55 am

      Hi Gail,

      It is a support for our good health today to address our food’s dwindling nutritional quality.

      The sugars are typically mono-saccharides and there is no added sucrose which is the bad guy amongst the natural sweeteners. The good news is that the antioxidants in Kalari Crush reduce insulin resistance in our muscle cells which can arise from on-going high blood sugars (due to our modern diet). The mechanism is complex but one pathway is that the pancreas is less stressed when insulin resistance is reduced and it slows production of more insulin as blood sugars fall. This includes a biofeedback loop to the brain and a reduced production of leptin. We feel more full and reduce our caloric intake as a result.

      Some ingredients, such as the anthocyanins in Illawarra plum are also known to stop the maturation of fat beta cells into mature adipose tissue as when this happens the cells can then only store more fat.

      One sugar in Kalari is trehalose and this is known as resurrection sugar due to the vast number of beneficial effects, from antioxidant activity to maintaining telomere length and flexibility and hence helping our DNA stay viable.

      You could say it is a panacea, indeed.

      Cheers,
      Vic

    Hi,
    thanks for the PDF on Resurrection sugar. Did you know that homogenised flash pasteursed product and UHT can have maillard products form in them.
    Perhaps replacing lactose with trehalose might mitigate this.
    I cant have insoluble sugars as fibre they give me intestinal cramp or colic. Inulin is the worst culprit. I suspect trehalose will be similar.

      Hi Casila,
      Sorry for my slowness in replying. Too many websites and a heavy workload.
      All cooked food will have Maillards if dry heat is applied eg searing/grilling/stir-frying. They are a natural part of food. Raw beef has 3 flavours but grilled steak has over 450 Maillard products.
      Incidentally, Kalari Crush is pasteurized in a heat exchanger, not flash pasteurized and we have measured the loss in antioxidant capacity and found it to be minimal.
      Trehalose is fully soluble as it is a simple disaccharide (like sucrose) but just 2 tightly-bound glucose molecules which are highly functional metabolically. I am sure that trehalose will not mimic any of the symptoms you get from inulin which is a complex carbohydrate and needs to be slowly degraded in our gut before it can be fully absorbed.
      If you do try Kalari Crush, please let me know your feedback.
      Cheers,
      Vic

    Does Karlari crush contain any other ingredients other then the fruit .
    If not what keeps it fresh.
    Dose it has presevitives.

      Hi Patrick,

      We do need to add sorbic acid to stop moulds growing. This is naturally found in under-ripe strawberries. We avoid the benzoates found in many juices and which can cause hyper-activity in children.

      Cheers,
      Vic

      Hi Ann,
      You can but you need to be monitored or get your doctor’s OK for it if your BP is not too high. You may be guided in reducing your dose of BP meds until you can get off them altogether.

    Is there any evidence that Kalari crush is useful in eye health in respect to macular degeneration? No reviews seem to touch on this but it does contain antioxidants relevant to eye health but does it contain enough to make any difference to the eye

    1. Vic Cherikoff says :Reply
      April 8, 2018 at 12:17 pm

      Hi Maxine,
      Macular degeneration is a very specific condition and while antioxidants can improve vision by reducing the loss of plasticity of the vitreous humor of the eyes, for MD specifically, the recommendation is a pinch of high quality saffron daily. Simply put it on your tongue and swallow or you can add it to any meal where it is easily consumed as a daily dose.
      Cheers,
      Vic

    Hi vic I sometimes watch your show on tvsn. I like to try some kalari crush because I always make my own fruits juices. I don’t like taking any vitamin tablets. Now I found out I got gout it only affects my hands. I love my home made fruits juices. Can I still drink kalari crush.

    1. Vic Cherikoff says :Reply
      April 11, 2018 at 2:03 am

      Hi Sujina,

      I strongly recommend that you take Kalari Crush to boost your nutrition if you are drinking sugary fruit juices and not purees.I cannot make any claims that kalari Crush treats any disease symptoms. However, when I first got gout myself (some 12 years ago) I was in the same situation as you. Now I have not had symptoms of gout for over 10 years. I must admit that I still eat bread (ocassionally), seafood (whenever I like) and drink beer (every few days) so the Kalari helps me lead a normal life again.

      For your interest, I take our recommended dose of 30ml, morning and night.

      Cheers,
      Vic

    Does this item help for people with Hashimoto’s/hypothyroidism??

    1. Vic Cherikoff says :Reply
      June 18, 2018 at 10:18 pm

      Hi Kellie,

      I do not have any experience or the experience of others with which to provide specific outcomes. However, Kalari Crush does support immunity and the wild foods are good sources of anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory components.

      My recommendation would be to take 30ml of Kalari Crush 3 times a day to boost your nutrition while eliminating any sources of gluten in your diet. If your condition improves then you can slowly cut back over time. It took a long term sufferer of coeliac disease and a friend of mine around 6 months to see her symptoms mitigate to the degree where she no longer needed to be so vigilant over gluten.

      Please let me know how it goes for you and all the best with your trial.

      Cheers,
      Vic

    Hi, I’ve ordered your product with the hope that it will help my eyesight.. I’m longsighted and never worried about wearing glasses to read, but now my vision is starting to get blurry in the distance.. I know this is supposed to be a normal part of aging but I don’t like it…I am 55 , I eat really well and love exercise.. I don’t take any medication.. I don’t want to have to wear glasses for distance as I’m a real outdoors person.. Has anyone had improvement in their eyesight taking kalari crush?

    1. Vic Cherikoff says :Reply
      June 30, 2018 at 11:52 am

      Hi Britt,

      We cannot make any claims that state that our product directly improves any condition. An observation I made was that when I was in my 50s I had reading glasses but which I no longer use. I am now 63 in a few months and suffer more from dry eye which can blur my vision after a long day at the computer screen but after a good night’s sleep, all is good again. I can still read without my glasses in most light conditions but I do think that my vision is still better than when I went to the optometrist for reading glasses a decade ago.

      Give it a go and please let me know what you find.

      Cheers,
      Vic
