Antioxidants are the warriors that defend against free radicals

At best the cell dies. At worst it becomes cancerous.�

Free radical damage has been shown to be largely responsible for heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts, and Parkinson's disease.

Free radicals can also damage the immune system, reduce resistance to infection and colds and cause the skin to lose its elasticity and wrinkle.

Differences in life spans are largely a result of how our body defends against free radicals.

Antioxidants are the warriors that defend against free radicals.

The benefits of antioxidant vitamins C, E and Beta-Carotene have been widely publicized. Many people however, are not aware of the many additional antioxidants, such as selenium, Zeaxanthin, Lutein, Lycopene, zinc and Alpha Carotene.�

Researchers believe that Alpha Carotene may be 10 times more powerful than Beta Carotene in protecting the body from skin, eye, liver and lung damage.�

Based on extensive data it appears that by combining several antioxidants together a synergy is created that makes the sum greater than its parts. In other words 1+1=3.�

How do we get the antioxidant protection we need for optimum health? Most antioxidants have been removed from food by processing techniques that focus more on shelf life than human life. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is important, but getting the combination and quantity necessary for optimum health is a daunting if not impossible task.

The evidence is overwhelming that nutrient supplementation is necessary to get the amounts necessary for optimum health and prevention of disease.
