What is Antioxidant Complex™?

Antioxidant Complex™ is a comprehensive natural formula that provides powerful protection against the damaging effects of free-radicals.

Free-radicals are unstable molecules that can cause serious damage to cellular structures and have been associated with many chronic illnesses and degenerative conditions, including the process of aging. Aging is a natural part of our lives; however, many of us age faster nowadays due to increased exposure to free-radicals.

Free-radicals arise in the body on an ongoing basis. They are produced during normal oxygen metabolism as well as from exposure to toxins such as cigarette smoke, chemicals, environmental pollution, preservatives and artificial colors/flavors in foods, drugs, stress, UV light, and inflammation. Free-radicals damage cell walls, the genetic material within cells, and other internal cell structures. Many chronic health conditions are associated with the effects of free-radical damage, including premature aging.

Common signs and symptoms of premature aging:

• Pain and inflammation
• Reduced skin elasticity
• Gray hair and hair loss
• Frequent illness
• Joint instability

How do free-radicals age us?

Aging happens throughout nature by a process called ‘oxidation’: metals rust, apples turn brown, oils become rancid, and rubber crumbles. All are the result of free-radical damage, which breaks down our bodies in a similar way.

To combat free-radicals, our body produces substances called antioxidants, molecules that ‘mop up’ free-radicals. Antioxidants help to prevent degenerative conditions and inflammation by destroying free-radicals before they can do harm to our bodies. Antioxidants are an important factor in maintaining good health; however, in our day and age, exposure to free-radicals can often outweigh our body’s ability to produce enough antioxidants.

How does Antioxidant Complex™ work?

Antioxidant Complex™ is carefully formulated to help protect your body against the effects of free-radical damage. It is a rich source of antioxidants including beta-carotene, vitamins C & E, selenium, the powerful free-radical scavengers N-acetyl-cysteine and alpha-lipoic acid, along with several herbs that contain exceptional antioxidant flavonoids.

Why do I need Antioxidant Complex™?

Antioxidants have been shown to help protect against chronic degenerative changes associated with free-radical damage, including vision and joint degeneration, inflammation, aging, cardiovascular problems, and brain and cognitive function.

Can Antioxidant Complex™ help premature aging?

How we age varies from individual to individual, and contributing factors include genetics, diet, and lifestyle choices. Studies have shown that increasing antioxidant-intake can boost free-radical elimination, speed up dead skin cell turnover, and help restore a more youthful look and feel to our bodies.

What is the recommended dosage?

Take 2 tablets daily with a meal.

Can I take Antioxidant Complex™ with prescription drugs?

Many prescription drugs actually create free-radicals within our bodies. Antioxidant Complex™ may help replenish and maintain protective antioxidant stores during a course of medication. If you are taking any medications, inform your doctor of any supplements or natural remedies, prior to using.

Are there any side effects or precautions?

Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing.

• Description

• Vitamin A (Beta-carotene): Beta-carotene is a member of the carotenoid family; carotenoids are plant compounds that provide the yellow, orange and red colorations in fruits and vegetables. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent free-radical damage to the body.

• Vitamin C: Vitamin C has many health benefits, but it is primarily recognized for supporting immune function, and as a powerful antioxidant and cell protector. It is the most powerful water-soluble antioxidant, playing an essential role in protecting the body from oxidative damage caused by free-radicals. It helps to neutralize the potentially harmful reactions in the blood and the fluids surrounding the cells. Vitamin C may also protect and help regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamin E.

• Vitamin E: In the past 20 years, Vitamin E has been discovered to be a potent fat-soluble antioxidant that prevents the oxidation of lipids. Since cell membranes are composed of lipids, it is vital to the stability and integrity of cellular tissues and membranes in the body. Its effectiveness is increased when taken with other antioxidants, especially beta-carotene, vitamin C and selenium. There are numerous studies that support the claim that Vitamin E is beneficial to cardiovascular health.

• Calcium: Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, 99% of which is stored in bones and teeth; the remaining calcium is in the bloodstream and the fluids surrounding the cells. It is an essential mineral with a wide range of biological functions and assists with many metabolic processes. Because of calcium’s numerous health benefits, it is essential to optimal health.

• Zinc: Zinc has antioxidant properties of its own, and is important for the proper maintenance of Vitamin E levels in the blood, as well as improving the activity of vitamin A. Moreover, it is a constituent of the powerful antioxidant 'superoxide dismutase' (SOD), an endogenous enzyme (an enzyme made by the body) that revitalizes cells and reduces the rate of cell destruction.

• Selenium: Selenium is a trace mineral and potent antioxidant. It works synergistically with vitamin E to protect cells from free radicals; this team may also support immune and cardiovascular health. Selenium is an important part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which works with vitamin E to help prevent free-radical damage to cell membranes. Selenium also protects the body from heavy metal toxicity. It is important to note that selenium is toxic at doses of more than 1 milligram per day.

• Copper: Copper is a component of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), an important antioxidant. It is also a component of the enzyme dopamine beta-hydroxylase, an enzyme that regulates vitamin C metabolism and the synthesis of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter. It is necessary for the production and function of hemoglobin and is a building block of collagen and elastin.

• Manganese: Manganese, along with copper and zinc, is an important component of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. It is also necessary for growth and maintenance of tissues, cartilage and bones. Manganese is a factor in glucose-intolerance.

• N-Acetyl Cysteine: N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of cysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid. It assists the body in the conversion of cysteine to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. N-acetyl cysteine assists in liver detoxification of harmful environmental and biological toxins. Studies indicate that it may help to support healthy blood pressure, cholesterol balance and weight.

• Green Tea: Green tea (Camellia sinensis) contains several compounds that have antioxidant properties. The active constituents are polyphenols called catechins and tannins. The catechin epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may be a much more potent antioxidant than vitamins C and E.

• Boldo: Boldo (Peumus boldo) is an herb that has been used traditionally in Chile as a remedy for digestive health. Its use in traditional medicine worldwide is well-documented. It is commonly used to support proper liver, gallbladder and bowel function. Research has been conducted on boldine, an alkaloid that may be responsible for much of the biological activity of this plant. Research on boldine indicates that it may show promise as an antioxidant and for supporting healthy liver function.

• Garlic: Current research supports what has long been recognized: that Garlic has many beneficial healing properties. It is rich in selenium, a building block of the powerful antioxidant glutathione peroxidase. Studies indicate that it supports cardiovascular health; moreover, certain types of aged garlic have been reported to help protect the liver from potentially harmful chemicals and drugs.

• Hawthorn: The flowers, leaves and berries of Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) are rich in flavonoids, compounds which provide powerful antioxidant properties. Hawthorn contains three groups of compounds that are key to its positive effects upon the cardiovascular system: triterpenoid saponins, amines and flavonoids. By inhibiting free-radical formation, Hawthorn’s antioxidant activity can be beneficial in maintaining healthy heart vessels and promoting overall cardiovascular health.

• Milk Thistle: Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum), a member of the sunflower family, has been used to support liver health for more than 2,000 years. The standardized extract of Milk Thistle is comprised of a group of compounds called silymarin, which research indicates have antihepatotoxic (liver-protectant) properties. These compounds function as antioxidants, protecting cell membranes from free-radical-mediated oxidative damage. In addition, these compounds protect red blood cell membranes against lipid peroxidation and hemolysis (breaking down of the red blood cells) caused by certain red blood cell poisons. Milk Thistle may also increase the effectiveness of glutathione in the liver.

• Quercetin: Quercetin is a potent bioflavonoid that has many health benefits. As an antioxidant, it may support cardiovascular health. Research shows promise that quercetin protects LDL cholesterol from oxidizing in the arteries, and it may protect cellular DNA from free-radical damage.

• Red Grape (seed and skin): According to recorded history, grapes (Vitis vinifera) were the first crops known to be planted by man. Wine has been used as a beverage and for its medicinal properties for more than 6,000 years. Scientists conducted research on red grapes after noticing that moderate wine drinkers lived longer and had a lower incidence of cancer than 'teetotalers.' Grape seeds and skins are rich in flavonoids which protect cells from free radical damage. These extracts contain procyandolic oligomers (PCOs), also known as proanthocyanidins. These compounds support cardiovascular health by preventing the formation of blood clots and preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Grape seed and grape skin extracts are known to exert a powerful, positive influence on blood vessels. When PCOs team up with vitamin C and E, they become even more potent antioxidants. Grape Seed is both water- and fat-soluble and can, therefore, penetrate all types of cell membranes, delivering powerful antioxidant protection. It is also one of the few antioxidants that can cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially supporting healthy brain function.

• Rosemary: Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is an evergreen shrub that is native to the Mediterranean region. Today it is used as both a spice and for therapeutical purposes. Researchers believe that the antioxidant properties of Rosemary are due to its high concentration of carnosic acid. When carnosic acid donates hydrogen to quench a free-radical, it forms carnosol, which in turn forms rosmanol, another antioxidant. Therefore, carnosic acid has more than one "life" as an antioxidant.

• Turmeric: Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a member of the Ginger family and has been used in the Ayurvedic tradition of medicine for thousands of years. Turmeric possesses antioxidant compounds known as curcuminoids, of which curcumin has been found to be the most potent. These compounds help prevent the buildup of excess free-radicals. They also neutralize existing free-radicals by scavenging them. Turemeric also has been shown to support healthy liver function and digestion.

• Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Alpha-lipoic acid increases glutathione levels and is itself a scavenger of free-radicals everywhere in the body. In addition, it recycles other antioxidants, specifically vitamin C and vitamin E, thereby enhancing their potency. It has the unique ability to be active in both water and fat compartments in the body; most antioxidants are active in either one or the other. Thus, alpha-lipoic acid is sometimes referred to as a "universal antioxidant" and is more effective in neutralizing free -adicals than the majority of its counterparts.

• Black Pepper: Black Pepper is best known as a culinary spice, but it also has a 4,000-year-old medicinal history. The active constituent is considered to be an alkaloid called piperine, which also gives black pepper its distinctive flavor. Historically it has been used by herbalists to reduce fevers and to treat bronchial complaints, and it may support healthy circulation and digestion. Clinical studies conducted on piperine indicate that it may increase the bioavailability of other nutrients. Researchers also theorize that piperine increases thermogenic activity in the body.

• Ginkgo: Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is most renowned for its positive effects on brain function and circulation. However, scientists have also discovered that Ginkgo is a plentiful source of several antioxidants, including vitamin C, carotenoids, and flavonoids. Researchers have discovered that herbs which have a complex of flavonoids, such as Ginkgo, are more potent than their individual components. Ginkgo is one of the most powerful plant-based antioxidants, and is sometimes referred to as a "super antioxidant."
