Antioxidants and Vitamin deficiency |

|
Antioxidants are defined as substances that significantly decrease the adverse effects of reactive species, such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, on normal physiological function in humans. Any substance which that prevents or impedes cell oxidation by free radicals can be called antioxidant. Free radicals (resulting from among other things, smoking, alcohol consumption and pollution) readily damage the tissues of our body and have been linked with the onset of many diseases including heart disease and cancer. The most efficient antioxidants are vitamins A, C and E; lycopene (found in tomatoes); flavonoids and especially quericetin; and coenzyme Q10. Products: Antioxidants and Vitamines
Coenzyme Q10
CoEnzyme Q10 boosts energy, enhances the immune system, and acts as an antioxidant. A growing body of research suggests that using CoEnzyme Q10 supplements alone or in combination with other drug therapies and nutritional supplements may help prevent or treat some of the following conditions: Heart Disease, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Diabetes, Heart Damage caused by Chemotherapy, Breast Cancer, Periodontal (gum) Disease.
As an antioxidant, it helps prevent the accumulation of free radical damage which can lead to degenerative disease. Our ability to produce CoEnzyme Q10 decreases as we age. This safe and non-toxic product has been consumed by millions of people worldwide for over 20 years.
E vitamin
Fish oil
The major active ingredients of fish oil are two essential polyunsaturated so-called omega-3 fatty acids: EPA (eicosapentaenic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenic acid), which cannot be produced by the human organism. Alpha-linolenic acid can be converted to EPA and DHA in the body, but the conversion is quite inefficient especially in older people. The administration of these polyunsaturated fatty acids as treatment courses lowers blood lipid and cholesterol levels, improves the rheological properties of the blood and exerts a favorable effect on blood coagulation process.
Fish oils (EPA and DHA) play a crucial role in the prevention of atherosclerosis, heart attack, depression, and cancer.
Recognizing the unique benefits of EPA and DHA and the serious consequences of a deficiency the US National Institutes of Health recently published Recommended Daily Intakes of fatty acids. They recommend a total daily intake of 650 mg of EPA and DHA, 2.22 g/day of alpha-linolenic acid and 4.44 g/day of linoleic acid. Saturated fat intake should not exceed 8 per cent of total calorie intake or about 18 g/day.
Folic Acid
Folate is an essential vitamin that is also known as folic acid and folacin. The synthetic form of the vitamin (folic acid), pteroylglutamic acid, is seldom found naturally in food. The folates found in nature contain the core chemical structure of pteroylglutamic acid but vary in their state of reduction, the single carbon moiety they bear and/or the length of the glutamate chain attached. At least 50% of whole body folate is stored in the liver.
The metabolic role of folate is as an acceptor and donor of one-carbon units in a variety of reactions involved in amino acid and nucleotide metabolism. The carbon can be carried as a methyl, methylene, formyl, formimino or methenyl group. The coenzyme form of the vitamin is typically fully reduced and poly-glutamylated. In the adult, folate is absorbed primarily in the proximal one-third of the small intestine. It is also conceivable that a portion of the large depot of bacterially synthesized folate in the large intestine may be absorbed. A large portion of folate delivered to the liver is secreted into bile and redistributed to peripheral tissues. Polyglutamylation (addition of glutamic acids) of folate is believed necessary to concentrate and store folates in tissues.
Lipoic Acid
Lipoic acid is both water and fat-soluble antioxidant. It lowers oxidative damage to proteins and protects mitochondria from oxidative stress. Increase glutathione level. It has lipotropic effect, protects against potential damage by heavy metals.
Maca Vibe
Maca is a cruciferous plant native of the central Andean of Peru (above 4000 m.a.s.n.). It is known that MACA is used since 2000 years ago as nourisment and medicine. As an aphrodisiac for both men and women (those seeking heightened sexual prowess).
NADH
NADH (Q-1) is one of the most powerful anti-oxidants: it has the highest reduction potential of any compound found in the body's cells. The more NADH you have in your body the better the DNA repair system functions. NADH may retard cell death and tissue degeneration. It can give up to a six-fold production of dopamine, so it is potentially a remedy against Parkinson's disease. NADH has been shown to be effective against Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Red Wine extract
These organic compounds have been found to beneficiary influence of many age related illneses in red wine drinkers by up to 40%. If you want to have all health benefits of red wine without alcohol consumption you should take red wine dry powder. Each Red Wine capsul contains 200 mg extract of red wine that is correspondent to 2-3 glasses of red wine Capsules do not contain alcohol!
Red Wine high in Resveratrol
Anti-Aging Red Wine has one of the highest content of Resveratrol, Quercetin and Anthocianins.
