INFORMATION
Free radicals are very aggressive molecules that are formed by chemical reactions during human metabolism. During sport and intense muscular efforts the body’s metabolic demands increase leading to a more rapid accumulation of free radicals. Free radical production rate is proportional to the amount of oxidative stress and cellular damage placed upon the body. This can be detrimental to health, and cause serious damage to tissues and organs. Free radical damage is also responsible for post-exercise muscle soreness and impairs and delays recovery if left unchecked. We are also exposed to external sources of free radicals from environmental, chemical, and UV radiation exposure. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays is the main cause of skin aging (photo-aging), due to oxidative stress and damage induced by free radicals.
FEATURES
TOTAL PROTECTION® is the first multi-action antioxidant supplement. TOTAL PROTECTION® has a complex antioxidant formula, aimed to provide total synergistic protection against pathogenic free radical activity. This complex formula enables the body to fight against free radical activity due to various metabolic pathways and other external contributory factors.
Alpha lipoic acid can be useful for the regeneration process of reduced glutathione[1], the most powerful antioxidant that our body can produce. OPCs and polyphenols are useful to fight free radicals’ induced cell degeneration[2]. Curcumin has a documented antioxidant power[3] and support a healthy immune system. The nutrient into TOTAL PROTECTION® helps the body to fight free radicals from environmental, chemical, and UV radiation exposure. ViNitroxTM is a grape and apple extract, with a strong antioxiding power, quenching and scavenging free radicals from different sources.
