Key role of cell DNA
It is the cells which drive the metabolic processes that sustain life: they absorb nutrients, generate and transfer energy and eliminate waste. The cell nucleus acts as a command post and contains DNA, the genetic code which determines and organises the body’s structure and physiology. Each DNA molecule is a double-stranded helix around a group of proteins forming a chromosome. A human cell contains 23 pairs of 46 chromosomes. DNA contains the complete genetic code and determines each of our individual characteristics, from eye colour to gender.The reparative effects of AC-11®
Unfortunately, the body has a limited capacity for self-repair, and this capacity also becomes less effective as we age. As a consequence, cells begin to replicate in a damaged or corrupted form and then cease to divide. When the lymphocytes which form the basis of the immune system are affected, chronic and degenerative diseases appear. Collagen also deteriorates rapidly, the skin becomes wrinkled and the joints and bones grow weaker.In addition to this innovative formulation, other dietary supplements may also be of interest for providing effective, long-lasting protection against cell damage. For example, two mushroom extracts, reishi and shiitake, offer a number of beneficial effects for protecting the body’s cells and tissues. For its part, Resveratrol Synergy offers the protective effects of powerful antioxidants such as trans-resveratrol.
AC-11® is extracted from Uncaria tomentosa by an exclusive hot water extraction process, then micro-filtered and purified in order to obtain a minimum standardisation of 8% Carboxyl Alkyl Esters (CAE) which are responsible for over 90% of its biological activity. CAE are present in only very small amounts in Uncaria tomentosa and only AC-11® contains an effective concentration, as shown by numerous studies and patents.Daily dose : 2 capsules Number of doses per pack : 30 |
