ANTIOXIDANTS - PHYTOPATH™
Antioxidants
- Phytopath - This
supplement contains
substantial amounts of some of the best antioxidants substances
available, including Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs), and is
especially important for people who don't eat enough fruits and
vegetables.
Do
you get enough fruits and vegetables in your diet?
If
you're like most adults, you do not. PhytoPath can help by supplying a
spectrum of natural plant compounds as well as vitamins, botanicals,
and specialty nutrients that provide antioxidant protection against
free radical damage. Ingredients include Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins
(OPCs) from Grape Seed and Maritime Bark Extract to support the skin,
eyes, and metabolic systems; Betatene, natural beta carotene with mixed
carotenoids to help protect cells and provide an important form of
vitamin A; natural vitamin E to generate antioxidant protection for the
heart and other organs; N-acetyl-cysteine, a building block to
glutathione in the body; vitamin C, which plays a role in supporting
connective tissue, bones, teeth, blood vessels, and immune function;
and additional botanical concentrates, such as green tea, quercitin,
citrus bioflavonoids, and extracts of pomegranate, apricot, nectarine,
and prune skin.*
What it will do for you:
Antioxidant
is a classification of several vitamin-rich organic
substances, including bioflavonoids, phytonutrients, and the
carotenoids that add color to fruits and vegetables. At the molecular
and cellular levels, antioxidants deactivate free radicals, which are
damaged molecules that seek to repair themselves by stealing materials
from our body's healthy cells. Free radicals are the natural byproducts
of many processes within and among cells, and they are also created by
exposure to various environmental factors--such as air pollution,
pesticides, food additives, and radiation--and the effects of aging,
stress, and illness. We all need a nutritional shield and defense
against the hazards of everyday living. Free radicals are believed to
play a role in many different health problems. Free radicals can cause
damage to cell walls, certain cell structures, and genetic material
within cells. Over time, this damage can become irreversible.*
RESEARCH BRIEF
Free
radicals are reactive molecules that "steal" electrons away from other
molecules. Cells generate these radicals as a natural consequence of
metabolic processes. The most common radicals produced in the human
body are superoxide, an oxygen-centered radical with limited
reactivity, and hydroxyl, a highly reactive oxygen-centered radical
that attacks all molecules in the human body. These radicals cause
damage to the molecular components of cells, particularly the lipids
that make up the cell membrane. They can also cause damage to the
molecular structure of DNA. The body can also be exposed to free
radicals generated in the environment.
Fortunately, natural antioxidant systems have evolved in the body that
help minimize the potential damage caused by free radicals. These
antioxidant systems neutralize free radicals by donating their
electrons to the radicals, thus eliminating the need for molecules
important in cellular structure and function to become involved.
Many of these antioxidant systems are augmented by food-derived
antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C, beta-carotene, bioflavonoids,
and indoles, as well as various minerals, such as zinc, copper, and
magnesium. These dietary components act either directly in the body as
antioxidants or function as key components of the cell's natural
antioxidant defenses.*

Q. What is a polyphenol?
A. Polyphenols are antioxidants
that are plant substances, such as anthocyananins, flavonoids, and
poranthocyanidins.
Q. What are Oligomeric
Proanthocyanidins (OPCs)?
A. A powerful blend of botanical
extracts (grape seed and maritime bark extract) called oligomeric
proanthocyanidins. They support the skin and eyes and the metabolic
systems in the body.
Q. The PhytoPath contains green
tea extract. Does caffeine occur naturally in the green tea?
A. Yes, the Green tea contains a
