Overview

Supporting antioxidant defences with nutrients and herbs.

Why use

  • Combines potent nutritional and herbal antioxidants to more effectively support the body’s defences against free radicals than single antioxidants used alone
  • Includes vitamin E and grape seed to help maintain heart and blood vessel health via an antioxidant effect on LDL-cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) and by supporting peripheral circulation
  • Contains milk thistle to support detoxification and other liver functions
  • A source of natural vitamin E, which has approximately twice the bioavailability of synthetic vitamin E, so is retained longer and is twice as active in the body
  • Contains an organic form of selenium, which is more easily utilised by the body than inorganic selenium
  • Includes folic acid and vitamins B1 and B12 to support the metabolism of homocysteine, high levels of which may compromise vascular health
