Extra Benefits:
Grape seed extract not only possesses antioxidant benefits, but
is believed to provide powerful anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and
anti-inflammatory benefits as well. Vinpocetine is purported to
be very beneficial in helping prevent or relieve hearing loss due
to a variety of causes, as well as tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
and vertigo (sensation of dizziness).
Everything you do, including breathing, creates free radicals
and when you exercise the amount increases dramatically. Excess
free radicals can easily overwhelm your body's natural
antioxidant defense systems, wreaking havoc on your athletic
endeavors and, more importantly, your health. Antioxidants
neutralize free radicals, but merely taking some vitamin C and E
won't cut it. You need as much antioxidant support as possible
from a wide variety of sources.
Super Antioxidant's unique combination of herbal, enzyme, and
amino acid antioxidants complements, but doesn't duplicate, the
antioxidants you may already be taking. Super Antioxidant is
designed to help protect your immune system, enhance circulation,
and accelerate recovery, thus preserving all the hard-earned
gains you make in training. The harder you train, the more you
need Super Antioxidant in your recovery regimen.
The SUPER Antioxidant Formula
1.) SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD) is an enzyme and one of the
powerful endogenous (that which occurs naturally in the body)
antioxidants. It is responsible for neutralizing the most common
free radical known as superoxide. It also aids the body's
utilization of the minerals copper, zinc, and manganese. The
enteric-coated form in Super Antioxidant, which allows the
nutrient to pass intake through the stomach acid to be absorbed
in the small intestines, is an easy way to supplement this vital
antioxidant.
2.) GRAPE SEED EXTRACT is high in a substance called OPC, a
flavinoid that is believed to be several times more potent than
even Vitamin C and E. OPCs are responsible for neutralizing three
types of free radicals. In addition, the OPCs in Grade Seed
Extract help strengthen and repair connective tissue and are
excellent anti-inflammatories.
3.) L-GLUTATHIONE is a protein that is produced in the liver from
three specific amino acids. Along with the mineral selenium, it
forms the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which, along with SOD,
is one of the body's endogenous antioxidants, and perhaps the
most important one of all. Glutathione is also part of another
enzyme, which has liver protecting qualities. It protects
individual cells as well as the tissues of nearly the entire body
and is an important nutrient in helping with the prevention of
cancer, particularly liver cancer.
4.) GINKGO BILOBA is an herb best known for its ability to
enhance circulation and increase the supply of oxygen to the
entire body. This allows it to help relieve muscle pain in
addition to its antioxidant benefits. A potential benefit of
increased circulation is the ability to speed delivery of
antioxidants throughout the body in addition to helping eliminate
metabolic wastes more quickly.
5.) GOTU KOLA is another herb that has antioxidant capabilities
as well aiding in increasing circulation. It is helpful in
decreasing fatigue and neutralizing blood acids and is useful for
optimal heart and liver function.
6.) VINPOCETINE is chemically related to, and derived from
vincamine, an alkaloid found in the periwinkle plant. Studies
with vinpocetine indicate that it can dilate blood vessels,
enhance circulation in the brain, improve oxygen utilization,
make red blood cells more pliable, and inhibit aggregation of
platelets. Vinpocetine also has antioxidant properties.
For enhanced recovery take 1 or 2
capsules with food after workouts (use the higher dose after
workouts over 2-3 hours and after races). For supporting enhanced
cognitive function, 1 capsule of Super Antioxidant may be taken
in the morning with food. For supporting enhanced performance
(via free radical neutralization) during ultra distance workouts
and races, Super Antioxidant may be used at a suggested intake of
1 capsule every 2-3 hours. Super Antioxidant may be used daily
all year round.
