Antioxidants and Free Radicals

Antioxidants are strongly involved in the prevention of cell damage. Damaged cells are a pathway and beginning place for cancer, aging, and other diseases. Everyday science is finding more and more knowledge of what is causing disease and of course the media reports every little detail for us to absorb. These break troughs are giving us newer and better information so that we can do what it takes to help the body heal itself.

Athletes closely watch and monitor the information about antioxidants not only because of health concerns but they are also interested in ways to enhance fast recovery from injury and long grueling exercise.

It's the radicals, man

Free radicals are on the atom level and scientifically speaking are unique in that they have an unpaired number of electrons. and they are formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. Once formed these free radicals attack cells and can start a chain reaction. Their danger comes from the damage they can do when they react with important cellular components such as DNA, or the cell membranes. When cells are attacked they of course function poorly or die. To prevent free radical damage the body has a defense system of antioxidants. It is thought that free radical damage to blood vessels is a key ingredient to poor circulation. The damage causes inflammation and thus cause blood platelets to stick on the inside of the vessel wall.

Antioxidants are molecules which can safely interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged. Although there are several enzyme systems within the body that scavenge free radicals, the principle micronutrient (vitamin) antioxidants are vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. Additionally, selenium, a trace metal that is required for proper function of one of the body's antioxidant enzyme systems, is sometimes included in this category. The body cannot manufacture these micronutrients so they must be supplied in the diet.  Hardening of the Arteries, Heart Attack Stroke, Intravenous (IV) Chelation Antioxidant Approach

Antioxidants are also contained in fruits, vegetables, teas, herbs and some other compounds and that is why so many health professionals recommend a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Furthermore that is why we offer a nutritional supplement that is a very balanced whole food supplement with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, vegetable essence and Chinese herbs all in one complete easy to drink complex. Everyone should be taking this supplement unless you are eating 7 or more full servings of fruits and vegetables a day and only 11% of us are even coming close.

We also offer an antioxidant and energy drink that is second to none. It contains fruit essence with all the major antioxidant fruits. It is equivalent to eating over 12 pounds of antioxidant fruit per serving.

Vitamin E d-alpha tocopherol. A fat soluble vitamin present in nuts, seeds, vegetable and fish oils, whole grains (esp. wheat germ), fortified cereals, and apricots. Current recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 15 IU per day for men and 12 IU per day for women.

Vitamin C Ascorbic acid is a water soluble vitamin present in citrus fruits and juices, green peppers, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, kale, cantaloupe, kiwi, and strawberries. The RDA is 60 mg per day. Intake above 2000 mg may be associated with adverse side effects in some individuals.

Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A (retinol) and is present in liver, egg yolk, milk, butter, spinach, carrots, squash, broccoli, yams, tomato, cantaloupe, peaches, and grains. Because beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A by the body there is no set requirement. Instead the RDA is expressed as retinol equivalents (RE), to clarify the relationship. (NOTE: Vitamin A has no antioxidant properties and can be quite toxic when taken in excess.)
