It’s Time to Rethink Antioxidants?  

•   Up until a few years ago, many scientists scoffed at the idea that medicines used by witch doctors, Indian medicine men and shamans were of any value. They were convinced that they could create designer prescription drugs that would cure all the ills of mankind.

•   Finally, some progressive scientists realized that those designer drugs were, for the most part, a dismal failure. Except for antibiotics and a few others, the majority of drugs don’t cure illness...all they do is relieve symptoms and often bring terrible side effects.

•   When Professor Masquelier examined the Anneda bark and needles in his laboratory, he discovered that they contained a rare and very potent bioflavonoid that he identified a s proanthocyandian. He knew it was stronger than any citrus bioflavonoid, but on testing it, her found that it protected and helped Vitamin C, which is usually destroyed by oxidation in your body.

•   The most amazing discovery he made was that this substance was the most fantastic antioxidant known to date! It is 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E, and 20 times stronger that Vitamin C.

•   Many scientists are convinced that free radicals are the cause of most of the ailments we get as we age. Antioxidants destroy free radicals. When we are young, our bodies produce an enzyme called super oxide dismutase (SOD), which destroys most of these free radicals.

•   However, after we pass the age of 25, the production of SOD slows. By the age of 60, our bodies produce very little of this important protective substance. That’s why young people rarely get the ailments that are common in older people.

•  Our bodies are bombarded daily with free radicals from polluted air and the fats and preservatives in food. Some believe that pesticides and other commercial pollutants are to blame. In addition, it is suspected that poor digestion of food, common with older people, contributes to an increase in free radicals.

•  Free radicals attack cells, destroying many and even altering the DNA and making it impossible for the cell to reproduce itself. Other cells weakened by the free radicals are vulnerable to many maladies.

•   Natural antioxidants are present in the body to protect cells from excessive oxidation and free-radical damage. These include metalloenzymes that can interfere with the production of free radicals during the initiation phase, such as superoxide dismutase that contains manganese or copper and zinc or catalase which contains iron and glutathione peroxidase which contains selenium. The latter is important in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides. 

•   Three essential nutrients can directly interfere with the propagation stage to scavenge free radicals. Of these, a-tocopherol (Vit. E) is the major lipid-soluble antioxidant present in all cellular membranes, Vitamin C or ascorbic acid, the major water– soluble antioxidant, is capable of quenching free radicals and singlet oxygen, as well as regenerating the radicals of tocopherol.

•   Green Tea…50 times the anti-oxidizing power of Vitamin C, a powerful free-radical scavenger in its own right.

•   Grape Skin Extract (10-20% polyphenols), and Grape Seed Extract featuring 95% proantocyanidins, and Pine Bark Extract (4:1)!!! As a blend, these are far more efficacious than any singular grape seed or grape skin extract product available today!
