Natural Antioxidant Supplement - Antioxidant Complex - Antioxidants

Since the discovery of vitamins, it has been recognized that antioxidants are essential for health. Recently, scientific evidence shows that using a antioxidant supplement can extend life and wellbeing.

These antioxidant supplements may include specific antioxidant chemicals, like resveratrol (from grape seeds), combinations of antioxidants, like the "ACES" products that contain beta carotene (pro vitamin A), vitamin c , vitamin e and Selenium, or specialty herbs that are known to contain natural antioxidant nutrients such as green tea and jiaogulan.

How antioxidants preserve health...

Antioxidants are chemicals that reduce oxidative damage to cells. Researchers have found a high correlation between this type of damage and the occurrence of disease. For example, low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation is associated with heart disease. The process leading to cardiovascular disease is complex. To simplify the understanding of unavoidable damage that occurs is to note that LDL oxidation by free radicals results in inflammation and formation of plaques in the coronary system.

One major process of antioxidants in cells is to prevent the oxidizing damage of free radicals. These molecules are unstable and highly reactive, and can damage cells by chemical reactions that can lead to cancer-promoting mutations or cell death.

Some of the reactions in the body that produce free radicals involve metal ions. Some antioxidants, such as the tannins in walnuts and tea, chelate. or wrap around these metal ions. This not only reduces the formation of ion-dependent free radicals, but also prevents the metal ions from oxidizing cells.

All cells therefore should contain antioxidants that serve to reduce or prevent this damage.

How to get antioxidants into the diet ..

Science suggests that consumption of antioxidant-rich foods reduces cell damage or prevents free radical damage altogether. This may slow down, prevent, or even reverse certain diseases that result from cellular damage, and perhaps even slow down the natural aging process.

A diet containing natural antioxidants from plants is required for the health of all humans. If such a plant-based diet is not available or transportable, one can take a natural antioxidant supplement to increase the potential for preventing cancer, heart disease and many other illnesses.

Destroying Free Radicals with a Natural Antioxidant Supplement can:

• Promote eye health and prevent macular degeneration, cataracts, and other degenerative eye diseases.
• Keep the immune system strong or boost the immune system when it has been compromised.
• Prevent age-related neurodegeneration such as decline of the brain and nervous system.
• Prevent DNA damage and therefore create anti-cancer effects.
• Promote heart health and help prevent arteriosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases.
• Antioxidants can decrease LDL and cholesterol & increase high density lipoprotein (HDL)
• Lower blood pressure.
