WHAT IS NINGXIA RED?
Ningxia Red is a powerful antioxidant supplement drink made from wolfberry puree, blueberry, plum, cherry, aronia, and pomegranate juices, grape seed extract, Yuzu, Tangerine, Lemon and Orange essential oils, stevia and pure vanilla extract for flavor.
The essential oils mixed in Ningxia Red and other Young Living supplements act as catalysts to help deliver nutrients through the cell membranes while assisting in the removal of cellular wastes.
Besides its great taste, NingXia Red has some amazing health benefits! It is the highest known protection against the dangerous superoxide free radicals, as documented in the S-ORAC test conducted by Brunswick Laboratories.
Let's talk antioxidants.
Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.
NingXia Red is rich in ellagic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, it has 18 amino acids, 21 trace minerals, beta-carotene, and vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E. It is an excellent whole-food source of nutrients that gives energy and strength to the body without harmful stimulates. It also has an amazing low glycemic index of 11 that does not spike blood sugar levels.
THE NINGXIA WOLFBERRY
This superfood is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet + the main source of antioxidants and health-supporting vitamins and minerals in NingXia Red. This goji berry grows differetly in the province of NingXia than anywhere else in the world due to mineral rich soil + water!

NINGXIA RED & EMOTIONS
Supporting our physical health is critical when it comes to emotional health - the two are so interconnected! Both NingXia Red and NingXia Wolfberries are full of antioxidants which are essential when we are processing stress or trauma, and they are particularly helpful when feeling Overwhelm, Grief or Fear.
Relieving the physical oxidative stress on the body facilitates emotional healing. Further, both are soothing and can bring a sense of security in the morning when it's hard to get up and face the day. Antioxidants really help promote the movement of grief through the body! To use the NingXia Wolfberries, simply place them in a mug with some of your favorite herbal tea, add hot water and steep.
NINGXIA & SKIN HEALTH
Taking care of your skin is more than high quality products and applying serums and creams. Keeping your skin its best also requires proper sun protection, plenty of sleep, and a healthy diet that includes a variety of vitamins and minerals.
We've already mentioned how incredible antioxidants are for your health, and that includes your skin! Adding these defenders to your diet with NingXia Red fuels your system with nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E, and CoQ10.
Another skin-supporting component of NingXia? Zinc! This trace mineral zinc is actually a little-known skin saver. It helps support smooth, even skin and even helps balance oil production.
NINGXIA RED & KIDS
We love the benefits of giving Ningxia Red to our kiddos. Think about how difficult it can be to get all the veggies and nutrition needed into their little bodies. Having an option they ask for is priceless.
You might not think of nutrition as an emotional tool, but it is powerful! When you're feeling grumpy and out of sorts, trying filling your body (or your child's) with something that truly feeds it! Skip the sugary snacks and drinks that will only lead to a worse crash in a few hours. So much emotional upheaval is caused by blood sugar dropping which is exaggerated in diets high in sugar and grains. Giving our children the Ningxia wolfberry, studied for its powerful ability to promote healthy blood sugar levels through its low glycemic index, is one way we can have happy kids in our homes!
NINGXIA RED & PREGNANCY
When it comes to using NingXia Red during pregnancy, that is ultimately up to you and your care provider. From our experiences, it was a huge benefit to stay energized + well and support placenta health. Midwives often recognize the healthy difference of a "ningxia-fed" placenta!
Ningxia Red is food. It is made of fruits and plants. I feel really good about that. Plus antioxidants are crucial for reproductive health, cleaning out our system so we can focus on growing that sweet life. Drinking Ningxia during pregnancy helps keeps morning sickness at bay, because it maintains healthy blood sugar levels.
Whether you drink it straight, combine it with sparkling water, or try a yummy recipe like these below, days feel more doable throughout pregnancy with Ningxia!
Here are a couple of my favorite recipes during pregnancy:
- Morning Bliss: 2-4 oz. Ningxia Red (I double up my NR during pregnancy) + 1-2 drops Grapefruit Vitality Oil + 4-8 oz. of sparkling water, club soda, or even a natural ginger ale.
- Mommy's Midday Mix or “The Mommy Mojito": 2 oz. Ningxia + Coconut water + Mineral water + 1 drop Lime Vitality Oil
NINGXIA & PETS
Ningxia Red isn't just for two-legged friends. It's for our furry, feathered, and hoofed companions too! Just as it supports our healthy blood pressure, skin, sleep, immune systems and provides us antioxidant support, it can work to give our pets and barnyard critters a better quality of life.
Cats: Ningxia Red is generally administered via syringe diluted 1 to 1 with water. Some cats will drink, but most will not. Some will accept mixed into food. For general maintenance, cats consume approximately ½ teaspoon per day.
Chickens: As general maintenance approximately ½ teaspoon Ningxia Red given orally can be used to boost immunity and also as a means to give other needed supplements or oils to birds as needed. The juice can be syringed into the mouth, offered mixed into foods, given straight or diluted with water. If added to drinking water, care must be taken to change it frequently or it will spoil.
Dogs: Depending on the nutritional needs and health of the dog, Ningxia can be added to food, given directly, or administered by dropper. Dogs are generally quite accepting to Ningxia Red. Dogs up to 20 pounds generally get ½ ounce per day. Dogs 20-50 pounds, ½ ounce per day. Dogs 50-100 pounds, ¾ ounce per day. Dogs over 100 pounds get a full ounce per day as maintenance.
Horses, cows, and larger livestock have also been known to benefit from the immune support of Ningxia Red. They can often drink straight or by syringe. For performance horses and animals, often 3 ounces per day is given. Endurance horses have been known to excel when given packets of Ningxia during a race.
From Melissa Shelton DVM, “Grape pomace extract is contained within this product, and fears of grape and raisin toxicity in dogs nas prompted questions regarding the use of Ningxia Red in animals. I can assure you that massive numbers of dogs, cats, birds, horses, ferrets, and other animals have consumed very large volumes of Ningxia Red (both in my veterinary clinic and in the homes of Young Living members), and that there is never a concern for me, even in teeny tiny Chihuahua puppies. We have only ever documented incredible benefits from Ningxia Red administration, and if the grape pomace extract could cause any sort of issue, it certainly would have been detected by now. Ningxia Red is good for so many things, it is impossible to list them all…you can guarantee that the addition of the juice to any regimen will be beneficial.”
