The
effects of antioxidants are
crucial to preserving health and longevity. Foods high in antioxidant
nutrients have been shown to protect against oxidative stress.
Scientists today speculate
that the accumulation of free
radical damage which occurs throughout your lifetime causes the
eventual loss of vitality in aging. Researchers have
concluded that over 70% of all diseases and aging are
caused by oxidants/free radicals.
Foods high in antioxidants can help support your body’s ability to:
-
Defend
your health by defending overall immune system function.
-
Protect
against the attack, stress, environment that contribute to free
radical damage and can speed up the aging process.
-
Restore
cellular health and the overall balance your body may have lost due
to the harmful effects of pollutants in the air we breathe, water we
drink, and lives we live.
Scientists now believe free radicals are causal factors in nearly
every known disease. By controlling free radicals; antioxidants
can influence how fast and how well we age. More than 70% of
Americans will die prematurely from diseases caused by or compounded
by deficiencies of antioxidants. It is virtually impossible to
get the optimal amount of antioxidants through food alone.
-Dr. Lester Packard, University of California Berkeley
How are you supposed
to
get an "optimal amount" of antioxidants?
A scientific approach
has been
taken to develop a blend of unique antioxidants together with
Glyconutrients.
"When antioxidants are taken with
glyconutritional sugars, there is a gradual release that allows
antioxidants to act as radical scavengers throughout the digestive
tract."
It actually
generates a synergistic benefit to reduce free radical damage and
support good health.
A Scientific Approach for
Dietary Supplements Incorporates
The Best of What Nature Has to Offer
Five antioxidant food extracts were chosen based on their known
benefits, and are also indigenous in cultures that live long healthy
lives.
The five antioxidant food extracts:
-
Quercetin dihydrate
-
Grape skin extract
-
Green tea extract (leaves)
-
Australian Bush Plum
(highest amount of vitamin C)
-
Tocopherols (vitamin E)
Next, a Phytochemical Complex with dehydrated fruits and vegetables
was added to the formulation.
The best ingredients from nature
which work synergistically in the body to
help protect,
defend,
and
restore cells. Finally, Glyconutrients were added through a
compaction process designed to enhance the ability of glyconutrients
to provide a more sustained release of antioxidant ingredients.
The supplement blend was designed to
closely resemble food and "contain a balance of antioxidants, to
release them slowly to sustain protection, and to protect the active
compounds by limiting their exposure to oxygen."
The synergistic blend of
antioxidants is designed to help counter the harmful effects of
toxins, other environmental sources of stress, daily physical stress
and poor diet- all of which damage your body's DNA, cells, tissues and
lead to premature aging.
The antioxidant effects were examined on
humans (below). It was found that it provided over twice the
protection offered by an additional five fruits and vegetables to the
diet.
