Could This Be Nature's Answer To - And Your Best Defense Against - Free Radicals?*

Your body needs both types of antioxidants because each one targets different types of cells and tissues for free radical scavenging… Water-soluble antioxidants – These are present in aqueous fluids, such as blood and intracellular and extracellular fluids. They react with oxidants in the cell cytosol (fluid portion of cytoplasm) and the blood plasma. Examples of water-soluble antioxidants include… vitamin C, glutathione, and catechins. Lipid-soluble antioxidants – These are localized to cellular membranes and lipoproteins. They protect cell membranes from lipid peroxidation.* Examples of lipid-soluble antioxidants include… vitamins E, A, and beta-carotene. The bottom line… to fight and help neutralize pesky free radicals, you need both types of antioxidants from as many sources as possible.* When taken together, the efficacy of water- and lipid-soluble antioxidants is enhanced even more ... there are only 2 known sources… A very unique source of microalgae called Haematococcus pluvialis and… Sea creatures (salmon, and krill, for example) that consume the microalgae eg.wild Pacific salmon contains astaxanthin that is… 20 times stronger than synthetic astaxanthin 400% higher in quantity than farmed salmon 100% natural in the salmon’s pigment, and not synthetic
