"Anti-Oxidant Formula #1"

Grape Seed Extract is one of the most powerful antioxidants and free radical scavengers known. It is roughly 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E with respect to its antioxidant properties. Grape Seed Extract also enhances the effectiveness of the other antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Selenium, Vitamin E and Beta Carotene. Olympian Labs Grape Seed Extract, through a low temperature water extraction method, is completely water soluble and free of dangerous solvents and food coloring additives. Water solubility means bioavailability. This means it is easily absorbed into the bloodstream and may aid our bodies in resisting blood vessel and skin damage, reducing inflammation and counteracting other damage caused by the daily bombardment of free radicals on our cells.

Ginkgo Biloba is a tree that is living proof to longevity and vitality. The Ginkgo Biloba tree is naturally resistant to disease, insects and pollution and has a life span of 2-4 thousand years! Though it yields an edible almond shaped, white seed, the medicinal powers are found in the leaves of this special tree. Recent research has identified many of its beneficial components and found that Ginkgo Biloba may improve the circulation of oxygen, act as a free radical scavenger and improve nerve cell functioning and nerve cell transmission. This translates to improvements in memory and mental efficiency, and treatments for age related disorders like Raynaud’s (a blood vessel disorder) and Alzheimer’s disease. It’s anti-oxidant action may aid the body in preventing the onset of illness and disease.

Cat’s Claw (Uncaria Tomentosa) is an herb that grows in the highlands of the Peruvian Amazon. The native Ashanica Indians have used this herb for many years to treat various illnesses associated with the immune and digestive systems. In July of 1989, a U.S. patent was issued to a research scientist for isolating six oxindole alkaloids from the root of the Cat’s Claw herb. This patent states that all but two of the alkaloids ~are suitable for the unspecific stimulation of the immune system~. According to the patent, Isopteropodine is the most immunologically active of the alkaloids and it has shown to have a profound affect on phagocytosis, which is the ability of the white blood cells and macrophages to attack and digest harmful pathogens. Like Grape Seed Extract, Cat’s Claw contains several of the polyphenols in addition to triterpines and the plant steroids beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol. These compounds exert powerful antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties.

CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a micronutrient essential to all human life. It is a naturally occurring nutrient that works as a co-factor in the body’s electron transport system where all of the body’s energy is derived. CoQ10 regulates the flow of oxygen moving in and out of the mitochondria, which are the cell’s power plants. The body’s cellular power plants can’t function without CoQ10. Declines in CoQ10 levels occur with advancing age and appear to be correlated with deterioration of the immune system. Supplementation with CoQ10 could help to boost energy levels, strengthen and protect the heart and blood vessels, enhance the immune system and protect against free radical damage.
