Full Spectrum Antioxidant Nutrients for Supporting Immune Function and Longevity
Our number one anti-aging formula contains the major antioxidant nutrients:
- Beta Carotene
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Selenium
- L-Glutathione
Antioxidants allow cells to perform more efficiently on less oxygen, enabling sufficient oxygen to be utilized for the cells and organs that specifically need it. Antioxidants are nature’s chief defense against free radicals (which form toxic compounds inside the body).
They also protect other vitamins as well as body tissue -especially membranes - from damage caused by pollutants and toxins. Only Ultra Antioxidant Formula contains the powerful amino acid derivative L-Glutathione, known for its potent antioxidant activity.
No Sugar, Salt, Starch, Preservatives or Artificial Coloring Added
Nutritive Natural base containing Broccoli, Spinach and Carrot dried powder concentrates, enhances this specialized formula.

The terms antioxidants and free radicals are being used more and more by nutritionists and other health professionals. In general, antioxidants neutralize free radicals that are generated in the body and prevent damage to cell proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. Antioxidants can be water-soluble or lipid-soluble, thus some exist within the lipid or within the water portion of cells.
Harmful free radicals are generated in the body during normal metabolism and upon exposure to environmental insults such as infectious agents, pollution, UV light and radiation and so on. When harmful free radicals are not neutralized by the body's primary and secondary defense mechanisms, an excess of harmful radicals exists. If the generation of harmful radicals exceeds the body's or cell's capacity to effectively neutralize these radicals, these harmful radicals will damage vital proteins, lipids and DNA. Antioxidants are needed to ensure that our defense mechanisms for neutralizing harmful radicals will not be exceeded.
Seniors With Type 2 Diabetes May Experience Memory Declines Immediately After Eating Unhealthy Meal
Adults with Type 2 Diabetes who eat unhealthy, high- fat meals may experience memory declines immediately afterward, but this can be offset by taking antioxidant vitamins with the meal, according to important new research.
There is already growing evidence linking Diabetes to cognitive complications in humans. Adults with Type 2 Diabetes are especially vulnerable to acute meal-induced memory "slumps" after eating unhealthy foods.
This latest study published in the July issue of Nutrition Research, suggests that taking high doses of antioxidant vitamins C and E with the meal may help minimize those memory deficits.
Consuming unhealthy meals for those with diabetes can temporarily further worsen already underlying memory problems associated with the disease. The team who conducted the research at the University of Toronto has shown that antioxidant vitamins can minimize oxidative stress from the meal and reduce those immediate memory deficits.
Type 2 Diabetes is associated with chronic oxidative stress, a major contributor to cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. Consuming unhealthy foods can induce this type of stress which is triggered by acute elevations of free radicals -- unstable molecules that can damage tissue, including brain tissue. These destructive molecule reactions typically occur over a one-to-three hour period after food ingestion.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a low fat diet rich in antioxidants, as well as staying mentally active and socially engaged in a variety of activities, is the best medicine for optimizing cognitive health during the average lifespan.
In the study, 16 adults (aged 50 years and older) with type 2 diabetes participated in an unblinded trial where they attended three weekly sessions that involved consuming a different test meal. One meal consisted of high fat products -- a danish pastry, cheddar cheese and yogurt with added whipped cream; the second meal consisted of only water consumption; and the third test meal was the high-fat meal plus high doses of vitamins C (1000 mg) and E (800 IU) supplements.
Fifteen minutes after starting meal ingestion, participants completed a series of neuropsychological tests lasting 90 minutes that measured their recall abilities for words they had heard and paragraph information they had read. These cognitive skills are associated with the brain's memory center known as the Hippocampus.
Researchers found that vitamin supplementation consistently improved recall scores relative to the meal alone. Participants who ate the high fat meal without vitamin supplements showed significantly more forgetfulness of words and paragraph information in immediate and time delay recall tests, relative to those who had the water meal or the meal with antioxidant vitamins. Those on water meal and meal with vitamins showed similar levels in cognitive performance.
The research team emphasizes that their findings require further replication in larger studies with more participants. Future studies will need to look at whether antioxidant vitamins are directly targeting oxidative stress reactions or triggering an independent memory- enhancing ability which is simply masking the detrimental effects.
The study was funded by a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
Antioxidants In Men's Diet May Provide Beneficial Effects For Reproductive Function
A Possible Relationship Between Men's Dietary Intake of Antioxidants and The Quality of Their Semen and Reproductive Function Have Long Been a Major Consideration . . .
Researchers in Spain have now confirmed that antioxidants, molecules which are found mainly in fruit and vegetables and can delay and prevent the oxidation of other molecules, play a key role.
Low antioxidant intake is associated with low reproductive capacity in semen.
A previous research study, published in March, showed that men who eat large amounts of meat and full fat dairy products have lower seminal quality than those who eat more fruit, vegetables and reduced fat dairy products. In this new study, researchers at the University of Murcia have found that people who consume more fruits and vegetables are ingesting more antioxidants on a regular basis.
The experts have spent the past four years analyzing the link between dietary habits or workplace exposure to contaminants and the quality of semen among men attending fertility clinics.
The objective of the research was to find out whether a higher or lower intake of vitamins, which act as antioxidants, could affect semen quality. These molecules, which are naturally present in foods such as citrus fruits, peppers and spinach, work by lowering the level of oxidative stress that can affect semen quality; The nutrients improve sperm concentration parameters as well as sperm mobility and morphology.
The study was carried out among 61 men, 30 of whom had reproductive problems, while the remaining 31 acted as controls. The researchers noted "We saw that, among the couples with fertility problems coming to the clinic, the men with good semen quality ate more vegetables and fruit (more vitamins, folic acid and fiber and less fats) than those men with low seminal quality." A healthy diet is not only a good way of avoiding illness, but could also have an impact on improving seminal quality.
More and more scientific studies show that human seminal quality and male fertility have declined over recent decades. The results of the European study Differences in seminal quality and reproductive results, carried out between 2000 and 2008 by the Valencian Infertility Institute.
However, after analyzing the quality of sperm, the research team evaluated its functioning and its capacity to successfully lead to pregnancy.
In the countries of northern Europe, such as Denmark, 40% of young men have seminal quality that is below recommended levels for fertility. Danish experts are studying the issue, because it is very troubling. They theorize lifestyle habits could be closely related to seminal quality and human fertility parameters. In addition, emphasis has been placed in recent years on the significance of babies being exposed to toxins and pollutants (pesticides, xenoestrogens, etc.) while in the womb, which could also compromise their future reproductive capacity when they grow to be adults.
Journal reference: Fertility and Sterility, May 2009; A low intake of antioxidant nutrients is associated with poor semen quality in patients attending fertility clinics.
