Glutathione Booster - The Master Antioxidant
2008-04-25 00:08:00 The new knowledge found by scientists connecting free radicals to a number of degenerative biologic functions, combined with the increase in the median age, has made interest in antioxidants skyrocket. Because the population wants to enjoy life as much as possible and are willing to fight the effects of aging from all angles, antioxidants are becoming the choiceweapon to do this. Even though consumers are not always able to interpret the scientific jargon about antioxidants and how they work, they do have a feeling that they do work and are, ingeneral, safe and an essential part of a proper diet.Antioxidants are powerful compounds which are able to stop the rush of cellular damage that are caused by free-radicals. Oxidants can damage cells by starting chemical chain reactions, or even damaging DNA at the cellular level. Because DNA is the blueprint for our cells to reproduce, damage to it can cause serious problems. Thankfully, Immunotoc Research has found a way to fi...

Protective Antioxidants In Every Bite
2008-04-22 00:29:00 Cheryl Forberg, author of Positively Ageless and nutritionist for the NBC reality series The Biggest Loser, recommends that we eat our antioxidants. In this FirstLook at Positively Ageless, Ms. Forberg focuses on the value of foods high in vitamins, specifically C and E, both of which offer protection from free radicals. Instead of downing vitamin pills, aim to add various types of fruits and vegetables to the diet. These natural foods offer both tremendous varieties of antioxidants and phytochemicals which operate successfully together within the body. Ms. Forberg writes that scientists have "barely scratched the surface of knowing what these food components do individually, let alone in teams."Strongly flavored vegetables like garlic, ginger and onions, when fused together in a dish (think curry) provide antioxidants, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.

ANTIOXIDANT USERS DON'T LIVE LONGER, STUDY FINDS
2008-04-20 11:00:00 Even worse, some antioxidants may increase risk of death The vitamin industry has spent millions promoting antioxidants as a way to improve health but a new review of studies found no evidence that the nutrition supplements extend life. Worse, the review authors said that some antioxidants could increase risk for death.The reviewers call for more regulation of the nutraceuticals industry, but an antioxidant researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture said that call for stricter monitoring overreaches the conclusions of the review.The researchers looked at 67 randomized studies and found that supplemental antioxidants do not reduce mortality and that some — including vitamin A, beta-carotene and vitamin E — could increase mortality. The review combined evidence from more than 200,000 people."The harmful effects of antioxidant supplements are not confined to vitamin A," said review co-author Christian Gluud, M.D. "Our analyses also demonstrate rather convincingly that beta-...

The New Science of Antioxidant Synergy
2008-04-19 19:37:00 By Dave Saunders Since the initial discovery of antioxidants, science continues to move forward with new developments and new understanding into how these important molecules work to protect the body from oxidative stress and even prevent the progression of certain disease processes. New scientific developments also show that different antioxidants can actually positively synergize with each other or in some cases cancel each other out. Laboratory methods of measuring these synergies have become the buzz in the research world and amongst informed authors as the only viable method of comparing apples to apples, or at least antioxidants to antioxidants. Effective laboratory tests are also essential in the study of antioxidants as well as antioxidant supplements because many manufacturing practices expose antioxidants to heat and oxygen and thus render them useless in the final product. The first laboratory tests to measure the potential of an antioxidant was developed in 1...

The Importance Of An Antioxidant Rich Diet
2008-03-26 01:47:00 By: Angelo JohnsonUnderstanding the relationship between antioxidants and free radicals is very important for your body?s overall well-being. Antioxidants are simply molecules that slow down or preventthe deterioration and damage of cells in the body. A low level of antioxidants in your body can cause oxidative stress and may damage or even kill off cells. Many diseases and illnesses, such as cancer, stroke, heart disease and even vision loss, are believed to be directly effected by the level of oxidative stress in a person's body. Therefore, antioxidants are important because they help to neutralize the free radicals in your body to prevent the oxidation of cells. A diet high in antioxidants can not only help combat illnesses such as cancer and heart disease, it can also help prevent infection and to slow the aging process. As a person ages, his or her cells take more and more time to longer to replenish themselves. They also become damaged over time. Antioxidants can prevent the ...

A New Antioxidant Fat-Burner for Overweight Diabetics?
2008-03-20 08:39:00 By: Robert Rister The natural products market in North America is saturated with products that claim to boost the metabolism to take off the pounds. You can find a hydroxycut caffeine-free fat burner, a liquidgel green tea product, and a variety of supplements that claim to correct "glucose intolerance" (the mainstream term is "insulin resistance") specifically to help diabetics lose weight. A research study published just in February 2008, however, suggests that a combination of two safe and inexpensive supplements may:*Enlarge and activate the mitochondria ("energy machinery") inside adipose tissue to oxidize lipids*Activate insulin to transport glucose and fatty acids out of the bloodstream to fat cells with these activated mitochondria and*Do all this without accelerating the heart rate or interfering with the action of thyroid ormones.These two supplements are lipoic acid and L-carnitine.Alpha-lipoic acid, or ALA as it's commonly called, counteracts the glycation, or "carameli...

Alpha Lipoic Acid Is A Powerful Antioxidant
2008-03-17 01:22:00 By: Darrell Miller The discovery of alpha lipoic acid at the University Of Texas Chemistry Department in 1951 was not heralded with trumpets of joy at the revelation of such a powerful antioxidant, but was instead largely ignored. This is largely due to the biochemistry involved not being fully understood at that time, but by the 1980s it was a commonly used supplement, recommended for several medical conditions.Chemically, the substance is a 5-membered cyclic disulphide with a carboxylic acid grouping. Biochemically, it?s extremely powerful antioxidant properties are largely due to the fact that it one of those rare active molecules that are soluble in both water and fats, and in fact is the only such antioxidant currently know. One of the properties that this ability enables it to possess is to cross the blood-brain barrier, and apply antioxidant propertied to the brain.Antioxidants are essential to human life in that they destroy free radicals.

Super-Antioxidant: Vitamin E's Role In Lupus Treatment
2008-03-15 14:25:00 By: Mitamins Team Lupus disease, like any autoimmune disease, is an extremely difficult condition to treat. How can you fight against something causing you immense discomfort when that something is your own body? Because of this, lupus treatment is often restricted to controlling the signs and symptoms of lupus while the cause of the disease is found. In 90% of cases the cause is never found, meaning a long course of medication for many. This is why more and more people are turning to the natural choice of vitamins as lupus treatment. A leading light in natural lupustreatment is vitamin E.Lupus: The Enemy WithinWhat can vitamin E do to relieve the signs and symptoms of lupus? The answer to that question begins with looking more closely with what we are up against.

Antioxidant Dietary Supplement
2008-03-01 03:15:00 By: Vincent Platania"Antioxidant dietary supplement" is a catch phrase that is bantered about without much clarification. American's are educated in the simple definition of antioxidant: cancer fighter. There is really more to be explained about how these supplements work. Still one thing that isunquestionably true is the high incidence of cancer especially in older people.The American Cancer Society reported that between 1997 through 2001 the rate at which new cases of all types of cancer were diagnosed in the United States was about 470 per 100,000 people. During the same time period there were about 200 cancer deaths per 100,000 people per year. It further reported that 76% of all cancers are diagnosed in persons aged 55 and older. That would suggest that while the cancer rate is high; the death rate from cancer is not as high.With that much cancer in the population it is no wonder that many people have decided on a course of preventative medicine.

Vitamin C, Antioxidant or Pro-oxidant
2008-02-22 09:44:00 Of course thousands of people supplement vitamin C for its antioxidant properties. In fact, many consume several grams per day in an effort to reduce the damage that free radical compounds can cause. But is consuming such high doses beneficial In addition to the inefficiency of absorption as the vitamin C dose is increased, evidence also exists that large acute doses can result in opposing effects to what is intended. How can this be Because of the nature of redox reactions, a substance such as vitamin C could reduce certain cellular components (an antioxidant effect) while oxidizing others. The ability of vitamin C to do this has been reported repeatedly and may be related to dose. Podmore and colleagues (1998) showed that administration of 500 mg/ day to healthy humans for 6 weeks induced proÂoxidant effects on particular segments of nuclear material in lymphocytes. This suggests that higher doses actually act in a manner that is opposite to their intendÂed purpose for many peo...

Bellissima! Kenneth Mark Antioxidant Hydrating Cream

The dermatologist works with some of New York's and Aspen's fanciest faces, focusing on cosmetic treatments such as Botox and chemical peels. I'm not interested in those things, but one of his creations definitely caught my eye. Kenneth Mark Antioxidant Hydrating Cream ($125) is a pricey cream, for sure. But here's what's cool about it: it contains astaxanthin, which is up to 10 times more potent than other antioxidants. Since antioxidants fight free radicals, which cause aging, this cream is a power punch of good-skin stuff. By the way, its rarity helps explain the product's high price; synthetic astaxanthin fetches $2000 a kilogram on the market, while the natural stuff (which is harvested from sea organisms) goes for more than $7000 a kilogram.

Glutathione - The Master Antioxidant
2007-12-28 21:13:00 Oxidative Stress and Free Radical Damage occurs in our bodies as a normal course of daily living. It comes from exercise, pollutants in the air, even the food we eat and drink. If left unchecked our bodies would deteriorate from the inside out.The good news is that we were created with the ability to produce a molecule (found in every cell in our body) that is called GLUTATHIONE (GSH). Surprisingly, glutathione was discovered circa 1888 but not until the last 20 years have scientists really understood its importance. Scientists now refer to glutathione as The Master Antioxidant. Without GSH we literally cannot survive.The key to understanding the importance of GSH is that many of the diseases we know of are associated with low levels of glutathione. Therefore, elevated levels fight against MS, Alzheimers, AIDS, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer, Crohns Disease, Lung Disease, Parkinsons, Lupus and many more.The production is dependent upon the availability of the amino acid Cysteine.

2007-10-08 17:32:00 The health benefits of antioxidants have been well publicized in the last several years.But what actually are antioxidants?Antioxidants are potential disease-fighters found naturally in some foods and also in synthetic supplements. They work by ridding the body of harmful free radicals, the "nasties" responsible for cellular destruction which may lead to a number of conditions such as heart disease and cancer.Keep in mind that even though the media is big on antioxidant consumption (ever heard of "superfoods"?), the research on these is not conclusive. This means that some studies have pointed to the health benefits of antioxidants, while others haven't.Take a recent example...a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Antioxidant
2007-10-07 05:31:00 An Antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. As a result, antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols or polyphenols.Although oxidation reactions are crucial for life, they can also be damaging; hence, plants and animals maintain complex systems of multiple types of antioxidants, such as glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E as well as enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and various peroxidases. Low levels of antioxidants, or inhibition of the antioxidant enzymes causes oxidative stress and may damage or kill cells.As oxidative stress has been associated with the pathogenesis of...
