Anti-oxidant cycling

Published

Anti-oxidant cycling In antioxidant cycling, antioxidants work together for an enhanced, combined effect.  When the antioxidant vitamin E disables free radicals, it becomes a minor free radical. Both vitamin C and alpha-lipoic acid convert the radical form of vitamin E back to its antioxidant-self.  However, when vitamin C recycles vitamin E, it changes to a […]

Selenium

Published

Selenium Selenium is an antioxidant mineral. It works together with antioxidant enzymes to fight free radicals.  Selenium activates the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which recycles glutathione.  Selenium improves white blood cell proliferation, and a selenium deficiency will result in a depressed immune system.  Selenium is reported to mimic the blood sugar regulatory functions of insulin […]

Alpha-lipoic acid and Lycopene

Published

Alpha-lipoic acid When it was isolated 50 years ago, alpha-lipoic acid was identified as a vitamin. It has since been reclassified as an antioxidant, and can scavenge free radicals intracellularly and extracellularly. It is both fat- and water-soluble, which means that it can access all parts of our cells.  Numerous clinical trials have shown that […]

What is an anti-oxidant—They quench free radicals—they capture and absorb the extra electrons or they give the extra electron needed to stabilize the molecule.  Having plenty of anti-oxidants gives your body time to repair and renew itself over time. 2 ways to get anti-oxidants—Our body produces them—mostly in the liver, but some in each cell—body […]

What is a free radical?

Published

What is a free radical—molecules that are chemically unstable—they have too many or too few electrons.  Some of them are a natural by-product of energy—a waste product.  They destabilize other molecules and cause a chain reaction.  They decrease the body’s ability to heal itself. Free radicals enter through our skin, lungs, digestive system and blood […]
