Antioxidants and Health While one can review the many benefits of antioxidant supplements, the best type of antioxidant supplement contains more than one antioxidant in a balanced formulation. The chemistry of antioxidant nutritional treatments demands that antioxidants that act different levels of activities in different areas of tissues is important. This concept is the use of antioxidants of different redox value. This technology is the basis of the product Antioxidant-Power™. The major key to an efficient antioxidant effect is to have a supplement that contains antioxidants with the ability to access all different areas of body tissues. The antioxidant compounds within the supplement must cover the water-containing segments of tissue and the fat-containing parts of tissues.
The product Antioxidant-Power™ contains antioxidants that can function in both water and fat compartments of different tissues. This is a major advantage in comparison to the use of many other antioxidants. It should be noted that taking large doses of one antioxidant alone may not be healthy. For example, using vitamin C alone may actually cause an unwanted tissue stress causing oxidation (oxidative stress). This is why it is quite important to take more than one type of antioxidant at once with a good “redox balance.” Antioxidant-Power™ is unique in its formulation and it contains antioxidants that have been shown in scientific studies to exert potentially beneficial nutritional antioxidant actions.
Antioxidant-Power contains ellagic acid which has been extensively researched in the areas of breast health and cardiovascular health. Green tea polyphenols are present in Antioxidant-Power with a wealth of supporting information on the promotion of wellness, associated with the consumption of green tea. In addition, Antioxidant-Power™ contains grape seed extract, turmeric, lycopene, and the powerful antioxidant elements selenium and zinc. Direct and indirect antioxidant actions can benefit cardiovascular function, prostrate health, immune function and even the function of the hormone insulin, where people with diabetes mellitus make get complications as a consequence of continuing oxidative stress to the body.
