Just one softgel of Super Booster
provides:
- Gamma tocopherol - Increasing
evidence indicates that it may be dangerous to use to
alpha-tocopherol form of vitamin E without also taking
gamma-tocopherol. According to the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences, alpha-tocopherol displaces
critically important gamma-tocopherol in the cells.
While alpha-tocopherol inhibits lipid peroxidation,
gamma tocopherol is needed to quench dangerous free
radicals such as peroxynitrite.1
- Sesame lignans - Studies show that
when sesame lignans are added to the diet of rats, a
measurement of free radical activity is reduced by 82
percent.2-4
Sesame lignans augment the antioxidant effects of both
alpha and gamma-tocopherol. A human study showed that
gamma-tocopherol plus sesame lignans was 25 percent more
effective at suppressing measurements of free radical
damage than gamma-tocopherol and tocotrienols.5-7
- Vitamin K2 - A new biologically
active form of vitamin K2 known as menaquinone-7 has
been added to provide improved vitamin K function.
Menaquinone-7 is not metabolized quickly by the liver,
so only small amounts are needed to make osteocalcin,
the protein that directs calcium into the bones instead
of being left in the blood to calcify arteries.
- Lycopene - People who ingest cooked
tomato, rich in the carotenoid lycopene, enjoy healthier
prostate function. Lycopene also helps guard against LDL
oxidation.*
- Lutein - Consumption of green
vegetables such as collard greens and spinach provides
the carotenoid lutein, which helps maintain healthy cell
division and protects the endothelial lining of the
arteries.
- Ginkgo - The most popular flavonoid
supplement is Ginkgo biloba. Hundreds of
studies substantiate its multifaceted effects in the
promotion of healthy circulatory and neurologic
functions.
- Chlorophyllin - The pigment
chlorophyllin is vividly seen in green vegetables.
Scientific studies indicate that chlorophyllin may be
the most potent nutrient to protect against
environmental DNA damage.
- Selenium - The FDA states that some
scientific evidence suggests consumption of selenium may
reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, the
FDA has determined this evidence is limited and not
conclusive. The ability of selenium to boost glutathione
is well established, but most people don't know that
there are several different forms of selenium that
provide diverse biological benefits.
