Phyto Antiox is a highly stabilized Spagyric combination of nutritional and herbal ingredients that works synergistically to provide a broad-spectrum antioxidant formula assisting in the primary prevention of oxidative damage to the body and providing support to the liver, kidneys, heart, and immune system.*
Phytonutrient compounds can support cardiovascular health, decreasing inflammation and lowering LDL cholesterol levels. Immune-supportive compounds protect DNA from oxidation and disrupt the processes.
When free radical levels increase due to exposure to radiation, ultraviolet rays, toxic chemicals, a diet high in fat, or depletion of antioxidant stores, an attack of cellular membranes, proteins, and DNA by free radicals can occur—oxidation of proteins damages structural components and a breakdown of enzymatic functions in the body.
Damage to cell membrane lipids may result in mutations in the genetic code and cause cellular membranes to be brittle and leaky, eventually leading to cell death and damage to the DNA.
Free radical damage plays a role in developing atherosclerosis, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.
Antioxidants are specialized molecules that can neutralize free radicals, rendering them inert and assisting in their removal from the body. Vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, and the mineral selenium are powerful natural antioxidants. Flavonoids are highly potent plant antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables, and many botanicals. Along with antioxidant properties, flavonoids may act as potent anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic compounds.
