AntioxidantOur environment causes the third replenishment need. A good antioxidant is required to address the billions of pounds of environmental toxins are dumped into our air, our water and our soil every year. If you live in an industrialized nation you are at risk, even if you are in a rural area. With every breath, every glass of water, every bite of food, you take in highly reactive molecules called “free radicals.” Free radicals form when an oxygen molecule loses an electron. They result from smog, chemicals, paint and household cleaners; and from electronic devices, including televisions and computers. These “loose cannons,” bombard every cell of your body, and rob it of the electrons it needs from paired molecules, thus, creating more free radicals. Estimates indicate that every cell of our body takes over 10,000 “hits” a day. Free Radicals Result in Disease
Free radicals have been known to cause eye strain, joint pain, shortness of breath, and signs that are normally associated with aging, such as wrinkles, dry skin and age spots. Stop Oxidation They will also repair damage caused by oxidants that don’t get intercepted. The importance of antioxidants has received a lot of attention lately however they vary in quality and effectiveness. Researchers often discuss the benefits of vitamins A, C, E and the mineral selenium. Recently, however, another class of nutrients called proanthocyanidins have been discovered which can be as much as twenty times more effective than vitamin C and fifty times more effective than vitamin E. Maritime Pine Bark Extract contains the best source of proanthocyanidins and provides the best overall protection. Also, specific “macerating,” enzymes included in your formulation will further boost the active constituents of the pine bark. Assist the Body’s Free Radical Fighting Forces After the Battle
