Nutralife Enzogenol ACE + Selenium

Product Details

Nutralife Enzogenol ACE + Selenium is a unique, broad-spectrum, highly-active natural antioxidant complex derived from the bark of the New Zealand pine Pinus radiata, together with the additional antioxidant benefits of Betacarotene, Natural Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Zinc, Selenium and important B complex vitamins.

Enzogenol is a new antioxidant with powerful free radical scavenging and quenching activity which provides improved protection for the cells against the harmful effects of free radicals from the body's metabolic processes and from the environment. This highly-active antioxidant contains improved levels of important proanthocyanidins and also incorporates other significant antioxidants that are lost in conventional processing techniques which use organic solvents.

Derived from the bark of the New Zealand pine Pinus radiata, also known as the Monterey Pine, Enzogenol was developed in New Zealand by a multi-disciplined team at the University of Canterbury. The team examined feasibility of developing new antioxidant compounds from natural sources. A new processing plant was constructed utilising the pure water process. The hi-tech plant was located near an identified source of the bark from young fast-growing Pinus radiata trees.

This particular pine bark was not only a standardised source of organic material but research confirmed it was a unique and superior source of proanthocyanidins when compared scientifically to all other sources - including other pine barks. Pack size: 30 & 60 Caps Bottle size: 100 Caps Ingredients Each Capsule Contains: Enzogenol (Pinus Radiata Bark Extract) 50mg Antioxidant Vitamins Betacarotene (Provitamin A) 5mg Natural Vitamin E (80 IU) 66.7mg Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 250mg Antioxidant Minerals Selenium (from Selenomethionine) 75ug Zinc (as Zinc Sulphate) 7.5mg Other Antioxidants/Nutritional Cofactors Citrus Bioflavonoids extract 100mg Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) 25mg Folic Acid 100ug

Recommended Use Adults: Take one capsule up to twice daily with food or as directed by a healthcare professional. Because this preparation contains Selenium, if higher doses of Enzogenol are required, the plain Enzogenol 50mg Capsule or the 150mg strength should be used. Precautions / Contra-indications Enzogenol ACE is not suitable for children except onmedical advice. Possibility of interaction with some medicines, especially blood thinners. Patients receiving prescribed medications should advise their doctors they are taking this product.

Mode of Action Free radicals produced by many biochemical processes or toxic substances, are molecules that have an electron missing, and are therefore unstable. Antioxidants provide the missing electron thereby reducing the potential of these unstable molecules to cause permanent damage to body cells. Through its antioxidant and free-radical scavenging effects, this combination acts quickly to protect body cells. Research has shown that once damaged, a cell has to be eliminated because, although it may have neutralised, it can never be properly functional again. Indications Studies have shown that many illnesses are directly related to the production of free radicals, and that antioxidants can help to reduce their harmful effects. To date more than 100 health problems have been associated with free radical pathology, and antioxidant research has recently become one of the most exciting areas of nutritional research.

Special Benefits Nutra-Life Enzogenol ACE + Selenium combines the results of a totally-new process which for the first time extracts the full arsenal of naturally occurring antioxidants. It concentrates them in a superior way using molecular selection plus the added benefits of other proven antioxidant compounds. ENZOGENOL'S BETA EFFECTS The antioxidant effects (alpha effects) demonstrate themselves in the long-term. However, the unique Enzogenol beta effects are much more immediately observed. These include feelings of well-being and increased activity levels, as well as improved mood levels. THE FORMULA INCLUDES: Citrus Bioflavonoids - are themselves powerful polyphenolic antioxidants and protect Vitamin C, enhancing its effect. Betacarotene (Pro Vitamin A)... has a number of important functions in the body including its role in immune system function, by protecting the mucous membrane linings antibacterial and antiviral barriers. It is also needed for the growth and maintenance of the skin, and it is essential for the proper function of the eye.1 Natural Vitamin E - It is a powerful antioxidant in preventing lipid peroxidation of the cell membranes and Essential Fatty Acids. The natural form of Vitamin E appears to be the effective form and recent studies indicate that it is also the most potent (bioavailable).1 Vitamin C - Ascorbic Acid - is a key free radical scavenger. Zinc - is an essential component of more than 80 different enzyme reactions and involved in many different metabolic processes. It is a critical factor in growth, and deficiencies are associated with dwarfism. Zinc is also an important factor in spermatogenesis, and to help maintain a healthy prostate by controlling the production of the enzyme, 5-alpha-reductase. Zinc is critical in the synthesis of the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, and essential for cell division, cell repair and cell growth and protein synthesis. Zinc is also important for healthy eyes, physical and mental stress, the immune system and for the senses, taste and smell.1 Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) - is an essential nutrient. As a co-enzyme, B6 participates in over 60 enzymatic reactions involved in the metabolism of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and essential fatty acids. It is vital for proper growth and maintenance of body structures and metabolic processes.
