VitaMedica Broad Spectrum Antioxidant Further Information

Today, we are consistently advised to eat a wide variety of colored fruits and vegetables. Plants contain protective botanical compounds called flavonoids that help to protect the plant from the sun's harmful rays. Fortuitously, by ingesting foods or supplements that contain these compounds, antioxidant protection is conferred to us. Given that most of Americans do not eat 5+ servings a day of these types of foods, supplementing the diet with a wide variety of antioxidants is prudent.

VitaMedica's Broad-Spectrum Antioxidant is a nutritional supplement that provides internal skin care by enhancing the body's natural systems for neutralizing and eliminating free-radicals.   Other nutrients also help to protect, repair and heal the skin. The result is optimal skin health and appearance.

As we age, certain physical changes happen to our bodies that are part of the normal aging process.  These changes are particularly evident in the skin and are largely due to the effects of the sun.  In particular, two of the key building blocks of the skin, proteins called collagen and elastin, can be damaged. The result is skin with a thin, sagging appearance.

The damage caused by the sun's rays, along with environmental pollution, diet, and even normal biologic processes contribute to the development of free-radicals.  Clinical studies indicate that free-radicals contribute to age-related illnesses like cancer, and heart-disease and to the aging process itself.  Although our bodies have wonderful innate mechanisms for dealing with free-radicals, our bodies become less efficient with this process as we age. 

BENEFITS

VitaMedica's Broad Spectrum Antioxidant offers a number of benefits including:

Potent, Antioxidant Blend for Better Protection Against Free-Radical Damage

The formulation includes a broad range of nutrients known for their potent antioxidant and protective benefits including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and alpha lipoic acid. The supplement also includes grape seed extract and green tea, whose antioxidant activity is 20-200 times more powerful than vitamin E or vitamin C.  In clinical studies, green tea extract has also been shown to provide a protective role in skin cancer.

Natural Ingredients

The formulation includes d-alpha tocopheryl (natural vitamin E) and Betatene®, a natural mixed carotenoid blend.  Research has shown that natural vitamins provide better absorption than their synthetic counterparts.  Also, a broad range of carotenoids provides better antioxidant protection.

Nutrients to Support the Development of Collagen & Elastin

The formulation includes vitamin C, zinc and copper.  Each of these nutrients plays a role in the formation of two important proteins found in the skin – collagen and elastin.

Natural Skin and Eye Protection

The formula includes Flora-GLO® a carotenoid blend of lutein and zeaxanthin.  Studies have shown that these carotenoids, typically found in combination, provide antioxidant protection effects to skin cells.  Lutein also reduces the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in adults.

Formulated in Easy-to-Swallow Capsules

Only two capsules are required per day, making the supplement easy to take.
