ANTIOX-FORCE™
ANTIOX-FORCE™ ANTIOX-FORCE

Total Antioxidant Protection .... Beyond C, E and Beta-Carotene.
by Daniel J. Crisafi ND, MH, PhD

We've all heard about free radicals, the highly unstable molecules that cause havoc with the body's biochemistry and ravage health cells. Free radicals are associated with an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, impaired immunity, allergies, impaired memory and concentration and premature ageing, just to name a few.

Of course, we're also aware that antioxidants are nature's response to free radical damage. Antioxidants are molecules that can "stabilize" a free radical, thereby stopping the ravage that the latter causes. Most consumers can name a few antioxidants quite easily such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta Carotene and the trace-element Selenium.

That most Canadians are aware of the dangers of free radicals, as well as the value of antioxidants in quenching them, is evident from the sales of antioxidant vitamins, primarily Vitamin C and E. Unfortunately, one of the factors that has often been misunderstood or overlooked regarding antioxidants is that they work as a team.

Certain nutrients will help to recycle an antioxidant that has been "deactivated" or modified by fighting a free radical. Dr. Lester Packer has highlighted the fact that in order to maintain antioxidant activity, it is important not only to ensure that we have sufficient levels of antioxidants in our diets, it is also important to ensure that the synergy between antioxidants is maintained so that these can be recycled and reused repeatedly.

It is very probable that one of the reasons some studies on antioxidants are inconclusive is that these studies are undertaken using only one of two antioxidants rather than ensuring the intake of synergistic and complementary antioxidants. Imagine playing a game of hockey without a defence or without a goalie. Of course the game can be played, but the results are generally disastrous. We need all the key antioxidant players and their helpers in order to ensure that we have maxiumum antioxidant protection.

With this antioxidant teamwork in mind. PRAIRIE NATURALS has formulated ANTIOX-FORCE. ANTIOX-FORCE supplies the better known antioxidants such as Beta Carotene (with the carotenoid complex), Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Selenium. However, ANTIOX-FORCE goes beyond the basics by also supplying and array of important antioxidant synergists that include minerals, (Zinc, Manganese and Copper), nutraceuticals (Lycopene, Lutein, Quercetin), superfoods (Blueberry, Grape Seed, Parsley, Green Tea, Spinach and Carrots), herbs (Rosemary and Ginger) as well as the important antioxidant protectors (Alpha Lipoic Acid and N-acetyl-cysteine).

ANTIOX-FORCE is the answer for those who want to win at antioxidant protection by benefiting from the whole team and not just a few choice players.
