Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a powerful fat and water-soluble antioxidant. It directly recycles vitamin C and indirectly recycles vitamin E, providing additional antioxidant protection. It is also an important component in the glucose metabolism process in the cells.

Alpha lipoic acid is also an antioxidant, a substance that neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals. What makes alpha lipoic acid unique is that it functions in water and fat, unlike the more common antioxidants vitamins C and E, and it appears to be able to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up. Glutathione is an important antioxidant that helps the body eliminate potentially harmful substances. Alpha lipoic acid increases the formation of glutathione.

Astaxanthin, a member of the carotenoid family, is a powerful antioxidant. research demonstrates that astaxanthin is ten times stronger in scavenging free radicals than other carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene, and one-hundred times stronger than alpha-tocopherol. Astaxanthin has also been shown to prevent low-density lipoprotein oxidation in human blood and enhance the immune system in animal studies.

BerryOxidants™ is a power-packed antioxidant complex featuring standardized extracts from fruits, especially berries, as well as herbs and spices. This synergistic formula combines more than 25 plant-derived free radical fighters with a full 500 mg per tablet of the antioxidant vitamin C. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive

BerryOxidants addresses seven of the key SystemiCare metabolic systems identified bySource Naturals as critical to optimal health:Antioxidant Defense, Liver/Detox, Immunity,Cells/DNA, Circulation, InflammationResponse, and Structure/Connective Tissue.

Cell Guard™ is a combination of potent antioxidants and other vital nutrients, to enrich and protect the micronutritional environment of your cells. Free radicals are unstable, destructive molecules with one missing, unpaired electron. In a process called oxidation, the same process that turns iron to rust, free radicals can impact cells as they steal electrons from healthy molecules, starting a cascade that ages the body and affects the body cell by cell, tissue by tissue.

Source Naturals Cherry Fruit Extract provides a natural source of flavonoids that act as antioxidants, providing protection to different systems in the body including joints, connective tissues and arteries. Naturally occurring antioxidant components, such as flavonoids, can help to protect cells from free radical damage in the body. Cherry Fruit Extract also helps to support the body's natural system of metabolizing uric acid.

The constituents of green tea are widely known for their universal health benefits. EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is one of the most beneficial polyphenol components in green tea, and is a powerful antioxidant that also has thermogenic properties, which helps increase metabolic activity. The polyphenol antioxidants in EGCG also support the body’s cardiovascular system.

Source Naturals Ellagic Active™ contains high concentrations of ellagitannins, which are converted into ellagic acid by the body. Current in vitro and animal research has shown that ellagic acid is a powerful antioxidant that may support DNA integrity and promote overall cell health.

Gâc fruit is indigenous to Southeast Asia and highly valued for its ability to deliver antioxidant support for healthy cellular function, cardiovascular health, skin protection and the body’s immune system. Source Naturals Gâc Fruit Oil is rich in natural forms of carotenoids including lycopene, alpha and beta carotene. The lycopene content of gâc is higher than any other conventional food source including tomatoes. This is great news for men because lycopene provides support for men’s urinary, prostate and reproductive health.

GliSODin® POWER is an innovative bioavailable form of superoxide dismutase (SOD), the most important enzyme in the body for protecting the body's cells and tissues from free radical damage. Scientific research shows that GliSODin® supports the body's own production of superoxide dismutase. GliSODin® POWER is 100% vegetarian and is comprised of gliadin, a wheat protein extract, which is bound to superoxide dismutase derived from cantaloupe. The gliadin protects the SOD from degradation in the digestive tract and also promotes its absorption.

The Science of Green Tea
All teas contain polyphenols, which are chemical compounds that act as antioxidants. In green tea the main polyphenols are the catechins, including gallocatechin (GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Studies have shown that these catechins are the beneficial, health-promoting components of green tea, especially EGCG, a proven powerful antioxidant.
