THE STORY OF FREE RADICALS
Free radicals, which are atoms that have an unpaired
electron, are both essential to life and harmful. The body
produces oxygen free radicals as a natural part of making
energy (in the form of ATP) in most cells. Because making
energy and thus free radicals cannot be avoided, the body has
evolved a variety of defenses against free radicals known as
antioxidants. These quench or neutralize the free radicals after
they are produced, allowing cells to make ATP energy without
building up toxic levels of free radicals. Natural antioxidants
include such familiar substances as vitamin C, vitamin E and
coenzyme Q10.
Fortunately plants contain numerous types of antioxidants that
can bolster the body’s defenses against free radicals.
Bilberry contains proanthocyanidin molecules that are
established as strong antioxidants. Bilberry has shown the
strongest affinity for the eyes, blood vessels, heart, and
connective tissue (collagen). It also protects the digestive tract
and the skin. Bilberry can strengthen the blood-brain barrier
and other blood vessels. Bilberry and its close cousin blueberry
are used traditionally as both food and to support digestive
health.
Hawthorn berry has a long history of use for supporting normal
heart function and structure. The usefulness of Hawthorn for
supporting heart health concerns is supported by research.
Modern research has also indicated that Hawthorn has potent
antioxidant activity, in particular protecting collagen and the
cardiovascular system. Hawthorn is widely recommended by
clinicians with extensive experience in its use for long term
intake to obtain optimal benefits for heart health.
Ginkgo leaf is a modern antioxidant phenomenon. The nuts
were used traditionally but the leaves only rarely. A great
wealth of studies in the past 50 years have documented the
antioxidant activity of this versatile herb. Ginkgo's antioxidant
effects appear to be most pronounced in the brain, nerves, and
cardiovascular system.
Green Tea contains polyphenols and flavonoids that give it
strong antioxidant activity. Green tea is considered to be partly
responsible for the low incidence of free radical-related
conditions in Japan, China, and other places where it is widely
consumed as a beverage.
Rosemary leaf has been demonstrated in studies to be a
powerful antioxidant. Traditional reports of the benefits of
rosemary include supporting cognitive abilities and poor
memory (“weakness of the brain”), immune function, digestive
health and circulation.
Prickly Ash bark is considered a circulatory stimulant and nerve
tonic in traditional cultures. It may accomplish some of its
actions by being antioxidant, and it theoretically helps
distribute other antioxidants throughout the body by increasing
circulation.
Astaxanthin is the pink carotenoid that gives salmon, crabs,
shrimp, and flamingos their color. This is because these
animals eat microorganisms that contain large quantities of it.
Like other carotenoids, astaxanthin shows promise as a
remarkably effective fat-soluble antioxidant. This may be
particularly important in protecting cell membranes, which are
primarily made up of fats.
SUGGESTED USE:
Take 1 capsule with a small amount of warm water 2 times daily between meals.
