Immune Support with Super Foods, the combination of these ingredients provides a comprehensive array of nutrients and compounds that support various aspects of immune function, including antioxidant protection, cellular defense, and inflammation regulation.
- Vitamin A: Essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and helps maintain the integrity of mucosal surfaces, which act as a barrier to pathogens. Supports the integrity of mucosal surfaces, such as the lining of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, which act as barriers against pathogens. It also plays a role in the development and function of immune cells.
- Vitamin C: Acts as a potent antioxidant, scavenging free radicals that can damage immune cells. It's also involved in the production and function of white blood cells, including lymphocytes and phagocytes, which are essential for fighting off infections.
- Vitamin E: Another powerful antioxidant that helps protect immune cells from oxidative stress, thereby supporting their function. It also enhances the activity of certain immune cells involved in the body's defense against pathogens.
- Zinc: Plays a crucial role in the development and function of immune cells and helps regulate inflammation. Essential for the development and function of immune cells, including T cells, which are critical for coordinating the immune response. Zinc also plays a role in regulating inflammation and may help reduce the severity and duration of certain infections.
Superfood Blend:
- Acai Berry: Rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, which may help boost immune function by neutralizing free radicals.
- Acerola Cherry: High in vitamin C, it provides an extra dose of this immune-supporting vitamin.
- European Gooseberry (Amla): Also high in vitamin C and other antioxidants, supporting overall immune health.
- Pomegranate: Contains punicalagins and other antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and support the immune system.
- Goji Berry: Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support immune function and overall health.
- Banana, Apple, Strawberry, Peach, Papaya, Cranberry, Mango: These fruits provide a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that contribute to overall immune health and help combat oxidative stress.
Super Food Phyto-nutrients appear to serve three major functions in the human
body:
1. They act as antioxidants
- Protect our bodies from free-radical damage and support healthy cellular
functions. (Free Radical damage)*
2. They regulate Hormone levels
- Phyto-nutrients provide nutrients required for optimum hormonal
functions.*
3. Preserve optimal health and longevity
- Prevent degenerative diseases such as hardening of the arteries, to
cancer and premature aging.*
What is Oxidation & why should we worry about Anti-Oxidation?
An easy-to-understand example of oxidation is to imagine rust attacking
metal. When the rust eats away at the metal, the metal starts to weaken and
decay until it can no longer work. This is what happens to our body when
free radicals attack it. Organs, cells, and other parts of the body can be
weakened by oxidation. This leads to diseases such as cancer, skin and
heart diseases, senile dementia, and osteoarthritis.
The ORAC score test was developed by Dr. Guohua Cao, a chemist, and
physician. The ORAC score covers all the antioxidants in foods.
Antioxidants cannot easily be measured separately, but the ORAC score test
can identify which nutrients are the important antioxidants. Combinations
of nutrients found in foods may have greater protective benefits than each
nutrient on its own. Many people obtain a number of their daily nutrients
from supplements in pill or powder form, but in order to receive the best
form of nutrients, it is essential to receive them from plant-based food
supplements. There are certain types of plants that have a better
antioxidant level than others, and the ORAC score can measure these.
Different types of fruit and vegetables have different ORAC scores. The
recommended "5-a-day" fruit and vegetable servings will give you an ORAC
score of 1,750 units. You could pick seven fruits with a low ORAC level and
achieve only 1,300 ORAC units, or you could pick seven with high values and
receive around 6,000 ORAC units or more. A large handful of blueberries
would give you an ORAC score of around 6,000.
Studies have shown that eating foods with a high ORAC score will raise the
antioxidant levels in the blood by around 10 to 25%. The ORAC figure
suggested by experts is around 5,000 units per day to have a significant
effect on plasma and tissue antioxidant levels. Eating eight to ten
servings of brightly colored fruits and vegetables or dark greens will help
achieve this level. More and more foods and supplements are beginning to
state the ORAC score on their labels, and this should make it easier to
find foods you like that are also good for you.
Here is what the Phyto Red's do in breakdown form:
Vitamin C
(Ascorbic Acid ) is a very important vitamin. It
helps to promote healthy capillaries, gums, teeth; aid iron absorption;
heal wounds, burns, and broken bones; increase calcium absorption; form
collagen in connective tissues; aid in adrenal gland function; reduce
free-radical production, etc.
D-alpha tocopherol is the most absorbable form of Vitamin E. It aids in promoting normal
growth and development, normal red-blood-cell formation, and vitamin C
recycling. Vitamin E acts as an anti-blood-clotting agent and antioxidant
to enable the body to better deal with cancer, heart disease, free radicals
in the body. It also improves immunity, especially in Vitamin E deficient
people.
Zinc
is a mineral that functions in antioxidant reactions, maintains the normal
taste and sense of smell, promotes normal growth and development, aids
wound healing, helps synthesize DNA and RNA, promotes cell division,
repair, and growth. It also boosts immunity in zinc-deficient people.
