of flavonoid antioxidants

Antioxidants provide a layer of protection to cells and tissues of the body and a thick coat of wax helps protect the finish of an automobile. Specifically, antioxidants protect against free radical damage. Antioxidants are substances consumed in foods and dietary supplements that help reduce and even prevent the formation of destructive chemicals in the body called free radicals. Free radicals attack the body's systems, even at the DNA level we leaves less able to combat the effects of disease and aging. Antioxidants work in several ways: First, can reduce the energy of the radical free.

Secondly, can stop the formation of free radicals in the first place. Foods rich in antioxidants may help prevent various cancers, heart disease and diseases of aging. Supreme antioxidant vitamins are vitamins C, E and A. These vitamins work in concert with others, and others supreme antioxidant components to provide a powerful form in the fight against free radicals. Vitamins C and E, carotenoids (like beta-carotene), and the mineral selenium are powerful antioxidants found in food. Vitamin C, a water soluble vitamin, also known as ascorbic acid. Most vitamin C intake (90%) comes from fruit and vegetables.

However, like vitamin C is water soluble, cooking can destroy vitamin C in food. Vitamin E, for example, has a stronger effect when it is obtained in a tomato rather than alone. The benefits of antioxidant vitamins are certainly not comprehensive, not only with prevention cancer. The benefits of antioxidant vitamins also include heart protection, especially with natural antioxidants such as flavonoids, organosulfurs, isoflavones, and sterols. Insurance flavonoids are found in black and green tea, black chocolate, onions, red wine or red grape juice, and apples, appear to have the heart strong protective benefits of antioxidant vitamins.

Vitamin E, also known as alpha tocopherol, is a fat. Because vitamin E is found in the oils, the people who produce low-fat diet can not get enough. Beta-carotene is a member of the family of carotenoids. Beta carotene is a nutrient conditionally essential, but when the intake of vitamin A is low, beta-carotene becomes an essential nutrient, meaning that it must get from food and can not be manufactured by the body. Selenium is an essential trace element. The amount of selenium in foods is directly related to the amount of selenium in the soil in which food was grown. It is necessary for healthy immune function.

Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is one of the most well known nutrients worldwide. Such recognition is deserved, considering its role in nutritional biochemistry. Not only is vitamin C a key antioxidant, protecting cells throughout the body from free radical damage, this water-soluble vitamin serves as a cofactor in the synthesis of important neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, and plays an integral role in the production of cellular energy. Vitamin C is essential for proper metabolism of carbohydrates and synthesis of fats and proteins. It helps break down cholesterol and also helps maintain healthy immune function. Vitamin C promotes wound healing because it is a cofactor for the synthesis of collagen and other connective tissue components.The term ascorbic acid refers to vitamin C in its purest form, not bound to any other compound. Thorne's Vitamin C with Flavonoids contains ascorbic acid and citrus flavonoids (a mixture of naturally-occurring flavonoids, including rutin, hesperidin, and quercetin), and is 100 percent pure. Unlike many vitamin C supplements from other companies, Thorne's vitamin C supplements contain no corn starch. Although it is not true that ascorbic acid will not work in the body without flavonoids, vitamin C does work better when accompanied by flavonoid molecules, as their presence in cells spares vitamin C and provides greater antioxidant activity.Vitamin C is an essential, water-soluble antioxidant for collagen stabilization. A deficiency can result in poor collagen cross-linkage and weaker connective tissue. Bioflavonoids have some of the same mechanisms of action, potentiating the effect of ascorbic acid.In addition to immune support, connective tissue support, and its role in cellular energy production, antioxidant activity is one of the primary reasons for vitamin C supplementation. In addition to strong antioxidant activity, flavonoids support other key functions in the body. Features Thorne Research - Vitamin C with Flavonoids - 180's

Pine Bark Extract, 120 caps. Sale Price: $10.00   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days See Reviews For This Product Description People around the world have used pine bark remedies to treat various health problems from coughs to wounds for ages. Pine bark extract comes from the bark of the European coastal pine, pinus maritime. The rough bark of this particular pine tree contains a rich source of flavonoids.Recent research suggests that many of the compounds found in pine bark such as oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs) act as a powerful antioxidant in the human body. These OPCs are among the most potent antioxidants existing today and they seem to help cells defend against the damages of free radicals.Free radicals, or oxidants, are unstable molecules with an unpaired (free) electron. Free radicals result when your body is exposed to air pollution, stress, chemicals, radiation or cigarette smoke. They can even result when food is converted to energy.Unfortunately, these free radicals can build up and over time start attacking normal cells and tissues. When the body has adequate antioxidants, it can defend against these destructive predators. Antioxidants provide the extra electron to neutralize the damaging effect of free radicals. By keeping these oxidants under control, the body is better able to fight off diseases and recover from injuries.In France, both the pine bark extract and OPCs have undergone extensive testing for safety and effectiveness. They have been shown to protect cells from free radical damage and increase the effectiveness of other antioxidants including vitamins A, C & E and the mineral selenium. Studies have shown that the antioxidant power of OPCs is much stronger than vitamin C and E. Pine bark extract is one of the few antioxidants capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier to protect brain cells. Further, researchers have found that pine bark extract provides support for heart, circulation and brain systems.Our Pine Bark Extract contains 60 mg of pine bark extract and an enzyme activation system to help with absorption.
