A high potency antioxidant complex providing broad-spectrum free radical scavenging activity to reduce the effects of free radical damage, associated with a wide range of health problems involving inflammation and degeneration. It provides improved protection from free radical damage. Pinus radiata bark extract contains a broad spectrum of phytochemical antioxidants including flavonoids, flavones, condensed tannins and significant levels of proanthocyanidins, together with the proven antioxidant benefits of Betacarotene, Natural Vitamin E, Zinc and Cysteine and Methionine. It is highly effective against a wide range of free radicals produced by pollutants and metabolic processes, associated with more than 100 serious health conditions. Free radicals produced by many biochemical processes or toxic substances, are molecules that have an electron missing, and are therefore unstable. Antioxidants provide the missing electron thereby reducing the potential of these unstable molecules, to cause permanent damage to body cells.Through its antioxidant and free-radical scavenging effects this combination acts quickly to protect body cells. Research has shown that once damaged, a cell has to be eliminated because although it may have neutralised, it can never be properly functional again. Studies have shown that many illnesses are directly related to the production of free radicals, and that antioxidants can help to reduce their harmful effects. To date more than 80 different diseases or health problems have been associated with free radical pathology, and antioxidant research has recently become one of the most exciting areas of nutritional research.
The severe complications of life-long exposure to free radicals appear as many of the degenerative diseases we associate with ageing, including:
- Coronary heart disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis and chronic inflammation
- Stroke
- Cataracts
- Cancer
- Alzheimer’s
