Antioxidant Support

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are intimately involved in the prevention of cellular damage — the common pathway for cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases. The scientific community has begun to unveil some of the mysteries surrounding this topic, and t

Do you remember back in the days when having good health was all about just eating right?  The good news is that science and technology have taught us a great deal more about what we can do to stay healthy. The bad news is that good health is now about terms like free radicals, antioxidants, oxidative damage, cellular nutrition, etc.

I’ll help you to understand what this all means and how antioxidants can help you to stay healthy longer and even repair some of the damage that has already happened.

You may have heard the term antioxidant, because it seems like everyone is talking about them.  Do you know what they are or what they do?

Example – stop an apple from browning. You bit into it and it starts turning brown. Dip it in orange juice, it stays white

Oxygen in the body is responsible for millions of processes within our body, most of them are good. However, there are also some harmful side effects. This is known as oxidation.

Example – oxidation causes rust – breakdown of the surface of objects

Oxidation inside the body causes a breakdown of cells.
Free radicals are the result of this breakdown

FR attack healthy cells (usually DNA)

This speeds up aging process, weakens immune and linked to cataracts, some cancers and heart disease.  Now finding links to arthritis and other chronic health problems.

Free Radicals – also called “oxidants”

External – sun exposure, pollution

Stress

Alcohol, unhealthy food, cigarette smoke

Their chief danger comes from the damage they can do when they react with important cellular components such as DNA, or the cell membrane. Cells may function poorly or die if this occurs. To prevent free radical damage the body has a defense system of antioxidants.

Free radicals are very unstable and react quickly with other compounds, trying to capture the needed electron to gain stability. Generally, free radicals attack the nearest stable molecule, "stealing" its electron. When the "attacked" molecule loses its electron, it becomes a free radical itself, beginning a chain reaction. Once the process is started, it can cascade, finally resulting in the disruption of a living cell.

Some free radicals arise normally during metabolism. Sometimes the body?s immune system?s cells purposefully create them to neutralize viruses and bacteria. However, environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke and herbicides can also spawn free radicals.

What it is

Substances found in food

How it works

Prevent or slow down oxidative damage to your body

Your body cells use oxygen, by-products called free radicals are produced

These can cause damage

Lead to cell dysfunction and start of diseases, illness, weakened immune

Antioxidants hunt for free radicals -  interact and stabilize them to prevent some of the damage they typically cause.

Prevent and repair damage done by them

Significantly slow or prevent damage from oxidation process

science

Free radicals are molecules that have electron shells that are incomplete.

This makes them more chemically reactive.

(free radicals are produced  by….

In humans, the oxygen is the most common form of a free radical.

Oxygen molecule becomes electrically charged and tries to steal electrons.

This causes damage to the dna of other molecules.

Through time, the damage becomes irreversible.

Antioxidants neutralize the electrical charge of the free radicals so they don’t steal electrons (and damage) other molecules

Why it’s important/what it can prevent

Can also repair damage that has already been done to cells

Heart disease, macular degeneration, cancer, diabetes

Oxidative damage caused by free radicals has been linked to

Can also enhance immune system – lowers risk of infection, cancer, etc.

Complete Cellular Health Is Possible

There is now a cellular health product available that can help protect your body from the issues we just talked about.  It has the ability to:

• Protect your body from future damage
• Actually repair some of the damage that has already taken place

AIO (All In One) was designed to optimize and enhance the function of your stem cells.

Since stem cells are your body’s ability to repair damage, if you protect and enhance your stem cells, you will increase your natural ability to heal your body.

AIO can provide you with better health by optimizing the ability of your stem cells to defend, repair and reproduce healthy cells.

AIO is a unique combination of the best of nature and science combined.  It was created to provide the following health benefits:

• Prevent damage to your DNA
• Give you the ability to repair your DNA that has already been damaged
• Optimize the health of your adult stem cells
• Support your cardiovascular system and your heart
• Reduce inflammation
• Provide powerful antioxidant support
• Support the functions of your immune system
