Our Story

17 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. ​
After extensive research I decided to become a Fruitarian.
That decision may have saved my life. 
I studied extensively the healing, curative and general health properties of many fruits, particularly tropical varieties.

Moving to the tropics in Far North Queensland, Australia 2 years after, I had my own small orchard and access to other fruit growers who alerted me the beneficial properties of other fruits. The outstanding health giving species was the MANGOSTEEN. www.mangosteen.com

 

The so called "queen" of tropical fruits.

 

This fruit and its husk has been used for its medicinal, curative and health giving elements for centuries by indigenous peoples throughout the tropical regions where it grows.

After five years my wife and I moved to Panama where we bought and lived on a remote jungle island by the water’s edge.I was fortunate to have some mature fruit trees there, including Mangosteen, planted by the previous indigenous owner. I also learned more about this "super-food" and its many benefits from the local “Guaymie Indian” tribes in the area.We later moved to Brazil where I further studied the benefits of tropical fruits.

Back in Brisbane, Australia in 2009 I decided to develop a new health drink utilising my knowledge of the properties fruits in general and Mangosteen in particular.

 

I put together a team of relevant scientists and industry experts to develop the product. After many months of research and trials we developed  the right formula based on the 3 principal ingredients, Mangosteen fruit and Pericarp (husk), Prickly Pear Cactus and Seaweed extract. Australian Patent A-2010100778 protects the formula.

We carried out an Australia wide evaluation “feed- back” trial to test the product with a large number of volunteers. The response to the product quality, efficacy, deliciousness of taste, health-giving etc. was unanimously excellent.  Many reported that they got "hooked" on

Slim Diva, really looking forward to drinking the next bottle.

 

Comments from friends of the test subjects about improved looks and radiance, shinier hair, more energy etc. were also common.

 

I’ve spent three years now working to perfect this great drink. I scoured the tropics to find the best Mangosteen and searched the globe for the best Prickly Pear Cactus and Seaweed.

 

I spent many hours with great designers to come up with a bottle as great as the Nectar it holds.

 

We hand craft SlimDiva at my family company on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Please enjoy!
