Authentic and deliciously velvety and smooth – Rubicon Papaya Exotic Juice Drink is the new addition to the Rubicon Superfruit Range and contains no crystalline sugar.

Papaya is being hailed by nutritionists as a new superfruit due to its high vitamin, mineral and phytochemical content which can help alleviate and even prevent a number of health conditions.

Nutritionist Fiona Hunter: “All fruit and vegetables are undeniably healthy but some, like the papaya, earn superfood status because of the high levels of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals they possess. Renowned for their super-nutrient properties, papayas and papaya
juice are an excellent source of vitamin C and magnesium as well as the phytochemicals Lutein, Betacryptoxanthin and Beta carotene. In addition to providing protection against certain types of cancer, the phytochemicals in papayas have been known to bring about significant improvement in eye and skin disorders and help to keep the heart healthy.”

Rubicon Papaya Exotic juice drink contains Lutein (pronounced LOO-teen) which is a phyochemical found naturally in papayas. Lutein helps protect the eyes but research suggests it can reduce the risk of Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) – a major cause of blindness in the elderly
