Now Foods Alpha Lipoic Acid Reviews

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:20:00 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Known as the "universal antioxidant", Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) can go anywhere in the body because of its solubility in both water and fat. It conserves and prolongs the life of vitamins C and E, increasing their effectiveness. ALA is also an excellent metal detoxifier, particularly for mercury and cadmium. We are exposed to these toxic metals daily through car exhaust and cigarette smoke. ALA binds them and neutralizes them for excretion. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a versatile water and fat soluble metabolic antioxidant. It is a potent free radical quencher and aids Vitamins C and E in their antioxidant activities. Vitamins C and E are added as complementary, synergistic antioxidants. <ul> <li>"The Metabolic Antioxidant"</li> <li>Vegetarian Formula</li> </ul>

Now Foods Advanced Gamma E Complex Reviews

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:16:30 -0600

by: MuSuLPhReAk

Description: Emerging research demonstrates that gamma-Tocopherol, the most abundant form of Vitamin E in the diet, has very important and unique functions. Central to these functions is its capacity to detoxify reactive nitrogen species, an especially destructive form of free radical. In addition, gamma-Tocopherol acts to trap and remove free radicals from the body in a way that alpha-Tocopherol cannot. NOW Advanced Gamma E Complex provides the necessary full range of antioxidant protection because it contains a more natural balance of Tocopherols plus a full complement of Tocotrienols. NOW's "Advanced" formula thereby provides superior support for cardiovascular health, as well as protection for the health of the prostate and the colon.
