The research continues to grow regarding the knowledge of antioxidants as healthful components of food. While the body has its defenses against oxidative stress, these defenses are thought to become less effective with aging as oxidative stress becomes greater. 1
Research suggests there is involvement of the resulting free radicals in a number of degenerative diseases associated with aging, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, immune dysfunction, cataracts, and macular degeneration. 2 3
Edible Science has brought together the most powerful and clinically effective antioxidants in truly therapeutic doses for overall systemic health.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid: these two agents when combined have synergistic abilities to combat aging. Each in its own right has significant studies showing anti-oxidant effects at cellular levels including studies produced by Bruce Ames at the National Academy of Science. 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Natural Trans-Resveratrol Micronized by Revgenetics: Standardized Resveratrol has been shown to extend lifespan in laboratory mice, as well as contribute to resistance to coronary disease and cellular aging. The so called “French Paradox” has been traced to the resveratrol in red wine. Combined with other natural anti-oxidants in their diet the French have 42% lower incidence of heart disease than Americans.
Our form of Resveratrol has been made to an extremely small particle size and combined with an emulsifer called Tween 80 which enhances bio-availability by up to 10 times. 11 12 13 14 15
High EGC Green Tea and Green Tea Extract: The active ingredient in Green tea epigallocathecin (EGC) is a powerful polyphenol antioxidant. Our blend has 250mg of EGC. Green tea has 10 times the polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables. 16 17 18
Grape Seed Extract: Proanthocyanidins are the main active ingredients in grape seed extract and are well studied for their anti-oxidant effects. 19 20 21
Whole Food Vitamin C: Our Vitamin C is truly a food product making it easier on the stomach and much more absorbable than traditional ascorbic acid. Time released. Please click on our C-Complex Foodstate on the webpad to learn more.
