RxLink AntiOxidant Essentials Performance with Vitamins C & E

RxLink AntiOxidant Essentials
With Vitamins C & E
DESCRIPTION
RxLink AntiOxidant Essentials contains a varied blend of nutritional
antioxidants to help neutralize a range of free radical
molecules.
FUNCTIONS
Antioxidant nutrients are necessary to protect the body
from the destructive effects of harmful molecules that cause
oxidation. Because these molecules are highly reactive, they
are called reactive species. Some reactive species are called
free radicals, because their structure contains an unpaired
electron that has a strong tendency to grab an electron from
other molecules. This damages delicate cellular structures by
taking electrons from proteins and unsaturated fatty acids and
injures vital tissues such as cell membranes and DNA (genetic
material). Thus, the role of antioxidants is to prevent this
damage.
Free radicals are constantly being created in the body from
normal physiological processes. Free radical production is a
consequence of energy production in the cells. In the immune
system white blood cells actually use free radicals as a weapon
to destroy foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses.
Free radicals are also generated from exposure to chemicals,
drugs, smog, and radiation. Evidence suggests that oxidative
stress contributes to the development of many common health
problems, including atherosclerosis and diabetes. In addition,
it is implicated in the aging process, in part through negative
effects on mitochondrial DNA. AntiOxidant Essentials
provides a comprehensive blend of water soluble antioxidants
(including Vitamin C and glutathione) and fat-soluble
antioxidants (including Vitamin A and Vitamin E).
Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant capable of
neutralizing both fat- and water-soluble free radicals. Zinc,
copper and manganese are necessary components of the
endogenous antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD).
INDICATIONS
RxLink AntiOxidant Essentials may be a useful dietary supplement
for those who wish to be on a disease prevention or anti
aging supplement program and for those who are exposed to
chemicals, drugs, smog, or radiation.
