Natural antioxidant supplement for fighting oxidative stress

AntiOxidant Synergy is a synergistic blend of powerful antioxidant substances in vegetarian capsules, that help to stabilize free radicals. It minimises damage to your cells from oxidants (aka free radicals), helping to fight against ageing.

What are the benefits associated with the ingredients of AntiOxidant Synergy?

This blend of highly effective antioxidants offers a powerful, multi-action protection against a wide range of free radicals: hydroxyl radicals, superoxides, singlet oxygen, fatty acid peroxides and oxidised proteins.

• Grapeseed extract contains leucocyanidins, with five times greater antioxidant potency than that of vitamin E, and which also enhances the effect of vitamin C.
• Pine bark extract boosts the body's antioxidant defences: rich in bioflavonoids, it neutralises all types of reactive oxygen species or free radicals; it stimulates production of the cellular antioxidants superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione; it prolongs the life of the antioxidant vitamins E and C.
• Alpha lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble and thus functions in all compartments of the body to neutralise free radicals. It also helps regenerate endogenous antioxidants.
• Green tea extract contains the polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which can quench reactive oxygen species and free radicals. It crosses the blood-brain barrier easily and helps protect the brain from oxidative stress.
• Curcuma extract contains curcumin which inhibits lipid peroxidation and neutralises superoxide and hydroxyl radicals.
• Glutathione acts as a substrate of enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase which eliminates radical peroxides. It destroys free radicals and is highly concentrated in many body tissues such as the eyes and the liver, where it prevents oxidative damage.
• Mangosteen extract (Garcinia mangostana) contains xanthones with antioxidant properties which can decrease LDL oxidation and reduce the use of other antioxidants such as tocopherols.
• Pomegranate extract has direct antioxidant activity and helps protect levels of the endogenous antioxidants' catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase.
• VitaBerry® contains a potent antioxidant blend of fruit powders and extracts, rich in polyphenols, anthocyanins, proanthocyanins, ellagic acid, chlorogenic acid, resveratrol and quinic acid, all of which are exceptionally active antioxidants
• Sea buckthorn extract (Hippophae rhamnoides) has antioxidant activity which in particular, can neutralise the superoxide radical.
• Resveratrol decreases the production of reactive oxygen species, destroys superoxide radicals which form in the mitochondria and inhibits lipid peroxidation.
• Black rice extract contains cyanidin-3-glucoside, an anthocyanin and particularly potent antioxidant, which has been shown to reduce age-related oxidative stress. It also has health benefits in terms of cerebral function.

One antioxidant alone cannot protect the body from the constant attack of a variety of free radicals. You can buy a blend comprising a range of powerful antioxidants, such as AntiOxidant Synergy capsules, to have a wider range of benefits, including effective, long-lasting protection against excess free radicals and boost the body's endogenous defence system.

For optimal efficacy, this powerful antioxidant complex can be combined with vitamin C, available to buy at Supersmart. Benefiting from the latest advances in formulation, our supplements Liposomal Vitamin C and Asc2P offer stable, bioavailable forms of vitamin C. The formulation AntiOxidant Synergy can also be complemented by other antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), two substances combined in the supplement PQQ & Q10.
