Modern health science continues to find ways to reduce the effects of aging upon our bodies. This article highlights studies on free radicals and how the body's own enzymes can be utilized

Do you have a cabinet full of antioxidant vitamins?

What would you do if you found out that the hundreds, or thousands, of dollars you have been spending on antioxidant vitamins were going to waste?

How about you?

The only vitamin I recall taking as a child was a multi-vitamin whenever my mother slowed me down long enough in the kitchen to make sure it got into my mouth.

Fast forward to today...

Today stores and many of our cabinets have almost endless supplies of antioxidant vitamins. if we stopped to add up the cost, it would be no small sum.
When did it all begin?

It all started in 1969 with the discovery of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD). It was discovered that our bodies naturally create SOD which neutralizes free radicals. You see, we necessitate antioxidant enzymes in our bodies because they obliterate free radicals which are associated with aging. Regrettably, the normal things we do every day like breathing, eating, and exercising manufacture free radicals which injure our cells. It was thought that if it were likely to destroy these free radicals, then we could slow down the course of aging. This discovery spurred the antioxidant industry as millions of people listened to the health science community and wanted to protect their bodies. Entire companies were born and billions of dollars per year have been spent ever since. Think of the huge nutrition chain stores today that did not exist in the 1960's.

But what would you do if you learned that "direct antioxidants" (like A, C, and E) and the industry launched as a result of this early research has not really been helping you? Would you be outraged? Would you feel helpless?
Although initial studies suggested that antioxidant supplements might promote health, later large clinical trials did not detect any benefit and suggested instead that excess supplementation may be harmful.1

Another obstacle with direct antioxidants is that our bodies can only utilize 5000-7000 of them per day. Do you know how many free radicals we have in our bodies at one time? 300 sextillion. That is a 3 with 23 zeros behind it.
Here's another principal fact: each time a direct antioxidant destroys a free radical, it is destroyed as well. So, if direct antioxidants can only neutralize 5000-7000 free radicals per day, they are destroyed in the struggle, and we have 300 sextillion of them in our bodies at any given time, even if we ate heaps of fruits and vegetables and took large quantities of antioxidants, our bodies could only utilize a portion and the rest would go down the drain. It is like trying to fight a forest fire with a squirt gun.

But don't despair. I have not taken you this far to leave you without hope. Thankfully there is a solution.

What scientists have found is that the most valuable way to destroy free radicals is to utilize the body's own natural enzymes.

Did you catch that? ....the body's own natural enzymes.
We are talking about using the power of our own body.
Many in the field of health today are interested in helping the body restore itself. This is a reaction to the "cut and prescribe" model that has been so common in the health industry.

Many doctors themselves are questioning the wisdom of familiar practice and asking how they can work with the body instead of against it.

So, when scientists discovered that our bodies' own antioxidant enzymes can put an end to 1,000,000 free radicals per second, others started doing separate work with one herbal supplement that spurs the body's creation of these natural enzymes because it might assist to combat various diseases. Those studies are now underway. What health scientists have found is that this special herbal supplement blend triggers the mitochondria in our cells to make bigger quantities of SOD and CAT (catalase). In fact, 30% more SOD, 54% more CAT, and 300% more glutathione. Sufficient to neutralize one million free radicals per second for two weeks by taking only one pill a day.

Why would somebody try to do it another way?

Now we know it is possible to spur the body's own enzyme production to aid it in its fight against free radicals.

Up until currently, we didn't have an alternative method. We were taking direct antioxidants with the knowledge that we were doing the best we could with the facts we all had.

But now we know better. And this distinctive, patented herbal supplement blend is yielding such extraordinary results that it is changing everything we know about how to contend with free radicals.

Do you want to help your body fight the effects of aging?

Do you want to benefit from potentially billions of dollars of appeal in a product like this?
