| Product Description |
This is a balanced multi-formulation of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytochemicals that have a powerful antioxidant action in the body, protecting both the fatty and watery parts of every cell. In addition the formulation is fortified with nutrients that have synergistic and detoxifying actions, boost immune function, slow down the ageing process and support the health of vital body organs such as the heart, liver, eyes and blood vessels.
GINKGO BILOBA
Bioflavonoids present in Ginkgo Biloba have a powerful antioxidant effect. Ginkgo improves blood circulation to the extremities, and may help increase the passage of antioxidants to the extreme parts of the body such as the brain cells.
BILBERRY
Anthocyanosides are the group of active compounds found in Bilberry, they are extremely powerful antioxidants having activities many times greater than Vitamins C and E. Also, unlike these vitamins, Anthocyanosides give protection in both the watery and fatty parts of the body. Bilberry supports and strengthens collagen structure and is known to increase capillary blood flow, with overall benefits for the eyes and the cardiovascular system.
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C has powerful antioxidant properties and prevents oxidation of Vitamins A and E. In addition it is involved in cell and tissue repair, particularly helping to maintain the integrity of the vascular system by strengthening the cellular walls of blood vessels. Vitamin C also boosts Immune function as it increases the production of interferons, these are natural immune stimulating chemicals that have an antiviral action.
GREEN TEA & MIXED FRUIT POLYPHENOLS
Green Tea and certain fruits contain a group of active constituents called Polyphenols, which have antioxidant activity and stimulate the production of certain immune cells.
VITAMIN E
Vitamin E is the oldest recognised biological Antioxidant. It prevents the oxidation of fatty acids and protects every living cell in the body as their outer membrane is mainly composed of lipids. Vitamin E also prevents the oxidation of Vitamins A & C and enhances the antioxidant activity of Selenium and Vitamin C. Other benefits of this vitamin include prevention of cataracts and coronary artery disease and helping immune function.
CITRUS BIOFLAVONOIDS
These colourful antioxidants, found in plants, have a similar action to Vitamin C and also enhance the body’s absorption and utilisation of Vitamin C.
TURMERIC
Curcumin, the active constituent of Tumeric is a strong antioxidant. It is also an anti-inflammatory and a liver-protective agent.
DUNALIELLA SALINA
Dunaliella Salina provides a natural source of Beta Carotene and Mixed Carotenoids (Alpha Carotene, Zeaxanthin & Lutein). Carotenoids are potent antioxidants and also have a variety of immune stimulating activities. Beta and Alpha Carotene are converted to Vitamin A in the liver and intestines as and when it is required by the body.
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT & PINE BARK
Many botanical species contain active compounds called Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC’s). The two main sources of OPC’s are Pine Bark Extract (patented as Pycnogenol) and
Grape Seed
Extract. OPC’s are unique flavonols with excellent bioavailability and extremely powerful antioxidant activity, clinical studies indicate that they are fifty times more potent then Vitamin E and a hundred times more effective then Vitamin C. OPC’s also repair and strengthen connective tissue, including that of the blood vessels and the cardiovascular system. They also have anti-inflammatory, antiageing and anti-carcinogenic action.
ZINC
Zinc has antioxidant properties and is also the constituent of the antioxidant enzyme Superoxide Dismutase (SOD). In addition Zinc promotes wound healing, tissue growth, liver function and a healthy immune system.
SULPHURAPHANE
Sulphuraphane is a phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables. It has been shown to be a strong inducer of the liver’s detoxification enzymes.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant sometimes called the ‘Universal Antioxidant’ as it functions in both the fat and water soluble parts of the body.
COPPER
Copper is part of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), an important antioxidant enzyme in the body.
L-GLUTATHIONE
Glutathione is a powerful detoxifying agent and is also used to produce Glutathione Peroxidase, which is an extremely important antioxidant and a liver-protective enzyme.
MANGANESE
Manganese helps to activate Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), an important antioxidant enzyme.
N, N-DIMETHYL GLYCINE
This compound is involved in protein synthesis, the manufacture of certain hormones and increases blood and oxygen supplies to the tissues.
RIBOFLAVIN-5-PHOSPHATE (R-5-P)
R-5-P is the active co-enzyme form of Vitamin B2 and is involved in regenerating Glutathione, one of the main cellular protectors against free radical damage.
LYCOPENE
Lycopene is a Carotenoid found abundantly in tomatoes, it is a powerful antioxidant and has been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
PYRIDOXAL-5-PHOSPHATE
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate is the active co-enzyme form of Vitamin B6 and has numerous functions in the body, in particular it inhibits the formation of a toxic chemical called homocysteine, which attacks the heart muscle and allows cholesterol build up around this muscle.
SELENIUM
Selenium works synergistically with Vitamin E, enhancing its antioxidant activity. It is required for the formation of the antioxidant and liver-protective enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase, which prevents cellular oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. It is also required for the health of the heart, liver, pancreas, thyroid glands and lungs and promotes immune response to antibodies.
