Advanced antioxidant formula with trace minerals for superoxide dismutase (SOD) support.

Natural beta-carotene possesses superior antioxidant activity compared to the synthetic beta-carotene more commonly found in vitamin supplements (Am J Clin Nutr 1996;63:729-34).
The carotenoid beta carotene has a spectrum of antioxidant activity, such as protecting against singlet oxygen, one of the most destructive types of free radical.
In a controlled trial, a combination of supplemental beta-carotene and vitamins A, C, and E helped protect myocardial tissue from the effects of ischemia (Am J Cardiol 1996;77:232-6).
Vitamin C may be the most important water-soluble antioxidant.
Vitamin C supplementation protects against free-radical damage from sources such as secondhand smoke (Free Radic Biol Med 2000;28:428-36), protects LDL particles from oxidation (Am J Clin Nutr 1991;54:1113S-8S) and prevents damage to vascular walls (J Intern Med 2000;248:177-86).
Vitamin E is the primary lipid-soluble antioxidant found in the body.
Natural vitamin E may be as much as twice as bioavailable as synthetic E (Am J Clin Nutr 1994;60:397-402.)
Vitamin E may be the most important protector of LDL cholesterol from oxidation.
Natural vitamin E supplementation of at least 400 IU per day has been associated with cardiovascular health in several studies (Lancet 1996;347:781-6; Lancet 2000;356:1213-8).
Vitamin E supplementation supports optimum immune system function (JAMA 1997;277:1380-6.) may also be important for long-term health of the prostate (J Natl Cancer Inst 1998;90:440-6).
Selenium, the mineral activator of glutathione peroxidase, has been associated with cardioprotective effects (Int J Epidemiol 1990;19:918-22) and other long-term health benefits (J Natl Cancer Inst 1998;90:1219-24).
OxyPro contains a highly bioavailable form of selenium (J Nutr Sci Vitaminol 1999;45:119-28) that has been associated with impressive health protective effects in human studies (JAMA 1996;276:1957-63; Eur J Cancer 2000;36:694-709).
Zinc, copper, and manganese are required for activation of superoxide dismutase (SOD), the enzyme responsible for scavenging harmful free radicals (FASEB J 1987;1:441-5). Superoxide dismutase itself is not effectively absorbed as an oral supplement (Am J Clin Nutr 1983;37:5-7; Biopharm Drug Dispos 1996;17:165-74).
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is 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).
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (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 (Altern Med Rev 1998;3:114-27).
L-methionine protects against hepatotoxicity from certain environmental toxins, according to animal research (Toxicol Lett 1981;8:147-52).

Natural sources, hypoallergenic.
