Alpha-Lipoic Acid 

Universal Antioxidant*

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that is naturally manufactured in the human body. ALA has been called the "universal antioxidant" because of its versatility-it helps deactivate an unusually wide array of cell-damaging free radicals in both water and fat environments. * ALA works in conjunction with vitamins C and E and some other antioxidants, "recycling" them and making them much more effective. * Beyond its direct antioxidant function, ALA helps to boost glutathione levels. * Glutathione possesses its own antioxidant activities and is a critical component in cellular and hepatic detoxification mechanisms. ALA is also necessary for healthy glucose uptake and utilization, thereby helping to support healthy carbohydrate metabolism. * In addition, because alpha-lipoic acid can pass easily into the brain, it has protective effects on brain and nerve tissue. *

A dietary supplement to support glucose metabolism and protection against free radical damage.*

 Alpha Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger.* Alpha Lipoic Acid is unique because it is both a water and fat soluble antioxidant, which allows it to provide protection both inside and outside the cell.* Alpha Lipoic Acid has also been shown to activate and extend the biochemical lifetime of other valuable antioxidants such as Vitamins C, E and Glutathione.*

 Alpha Lipoic Acid is:

  A potent antioxidant that works to support vascular and connective tissue health, maintain healthy collagen, protect cell structures and maintain blood lipid levels within normal ranges.*

Alpha Lipoic Acid Supports:

 The body’s antioxidant defense systems to protect against free radical damage.*

Glutathione production, which is the master antioxidant of the cell.*

Detoxification functions, as well as chelation and removal of heavy metals.*

Energy production, because it is a cofactor for

enzymes needed to make ATP (cellular energy).*

Cholesterol and blood glucose levels within normal

ranges.

Metabolic enzyme production, insulin function and glucose metabolism.*

•             Beneficial for:

  People as they age*

 Those in need of extra antioxidant support*

 Athletes*

 Those under stress*

 Alpha lipoic acid can be made in the body, but its production decreases with age. Alpha Lipoic Acid has anti-aging properties.* Alpha Lipoic acid is converted to dihydrolipoic acid, which neutralizes free radical before they can cause damage to the elastin and collagen in the skin that is associated with signs of aging and wrinkles.*

 Athletes need antioxidant protection to help reduce free radical damage to muscles during times of work out and stress. Exercise causes oxidative stress, which can be countered by antioxidants. Aside from its antioxidant properties Alpha Lipoic Acid supports energy

production, which is very useful in athletes.*

  Available in an easy to swallow vegetarian capsule that contains 100 mg or 300 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Grape Seed Extract

provides a cost-effective concentrate of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). OPCs are natural antioxidants but they also possess unique properties such as stabilizing and maintaining connective tissue integrity. Since connective tissue forms the basement membrane of body structures as diverse as eye tissues and blood vessels, OPCs have the potential to support clear vision, cardiovascular health, and normal interstitial fluid balance.

• Grape Seed Extract provides a cost-effective concentrate of grape seed flavonoids (GSFs), including oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), upon which this extract is standardized.
• Human research has documented the ability of grape seed extract supplements to boost total antioxidant activity measurable in the blood (J Clin Pharm Ther 1998; 23:385-9) and to provide greater protection than combinations of other antioxidant nutrients (Ann N Y Acad Sci 2002;957:260-70).
• GSFs depress the activity of collagenase, the enzyme that degrades collagen, and have tonic effects on the capillaries and veins (Arzneimittelforschung 1994;44:592-601; Gazette Medicale 1985;92:96-100).
• Grape seed extract prevents changes in capillary permeability that could lead to accumulated fluid in the interstitial tissues (Ann Chir Polast Esthet 1984;29:393-5).
• The combination of antioxidant and connective tissue stabilizing effects of OPCs may be responsible for evidence of improved visual function in human studies of grape seed extract (Fitoterapia 1995;LXVI:291-317).
• GSFs have been shown by some studies to be among the protective agents in wine that provide wine-drinking populations with excellent cardiovascular health, in spite of diets rich in saturated fats and cholesterol (Clin Chim Acta 1996;246(1-2):163-82).
• GSFs have been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol oxidation and maintain normal arterial blood flow capacity in animal studies (Atherosclerosis 1999;142:139-49).
• A water extraction method of concentrating the grape seeds assures that no solvent residues remain after processing.

Suggested use for adults: One capsule twice daily, or as directed.

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is a precursor of the tripeptide glutathione - a critical antioxidant, with roles in xenobiotic detoxification, amino acid metabolism and immune defense. NAC acts as a mucolytic agent and thus assists normal respiratory function. By acting as a glutathione precursor, NAC helps maintain normal immune, liver and cardiovascular function. NAC is a precursor of the tripeptide glutathione - a critical antioxidant, with roles in xenobiotic detoxification and amino acid metabolism. Glutathione depletion is characteristic of many conditions of impaired health (Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care 1999;2:487-92). NAC acts as a mucolytic agent and thus assists in restoring normal respiratory function (Clin Ther 2000; 22:209-21; Respiration 1999;66:495-500; Eur Respir J 1997;10:1535-41). By acting as a reliable oral glutathione precursor, NAC helps maintain normal immune, liver and cardiovascular function (Altern Med Rev 1998;3:114-27). Suggested use for adults: 2-6 capsules per day in divided doses between meals, or as directed.

 

It is your body’s BEST defense against disease and a great safe way to detox!  It is the master  anti oxidant because it helps to keep more of them in circulation! Not only is your immune system protected by glutathione stores, it is critical in detoxification and optimizing your health.

As free radicals increase, your body uses up Vitamins C, E, alpha lipoic acid and  ultimately glutathione.

Protect your health by boosting glutathione.  Click on the link and follow the suggestions we offer to boost this master anti oxidant for protection and well being.

In addition to recycling free radicals, glutathione is also awesome in detoxification.   Like glue, toxins stick to glutathione, to be eliminated in the bile and bowel  — and ultimately out of your body.

T4- Revita, provided by Douglas Laboratories, provides 75 mg of L-gluathione and 25 mg of N-acetyl L-cysteine in a specially formulated sublingual tablet. Label

FUNCTIONS

Body cells and tissues are threatened continuously by damage caused by toxic free radicals and reactive oxygen species (e.g., peroxides) which are produced during normal oxygen metabolism, by other chemical reactions, and by toxic agents in the environment. Free radicals are capable of disrupting metabolic activity and cell structure. When this occurs, additional free radicals are produced which, in turn, can result in more extensive damage to cells and tissues. The uncontrolled production of free radicals is thought to be a major contributing factor to many degenerative processes seen during aging.

Glutathione is a naturally-occurring tripeptide of L­cysteine, L-glutamate and L-glycine. Glutathione is the essential cosubstrate for two major antioxidant enzymes in the body; glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase. As such, glutathione offers one mechanism for scavenging toxic free radicals. Glutathione is well absorbed in the intestine, and enters the blood and other extracellular compartments where it exerts much of its beneficial antioxidant effects. However, it can not effectively enter the cell.

N-Acetyl L-cysteine (NAC) is a precursor for the sulfur amino acid cysteine, and cysteine is used by the body to synthesize glutathione. In contrast to glutathione, NAC is efficiently transported into the cell where it is readily converted to L-cysteine for glutathione synthesis. NAC is well absorbed, and unlike L-cysteine, is virtually non-toxic. NAC is recognized as a safe, highly effective means of increasing intracellular glutathione stores. Aside from providing cysteine as a glutathione precursor, NAC also appears to have antioxidant properties by itself, and is a valuable sulfur donor for various metabolic needs.
