Why We Need Antioxidants: Oxygen as both a friend and an enemy
Oxygen is essential for life on earth. Without its presence, a human would not survive for more than a few minutes.
Yet oxygen is a double-edged sword; as its existence gives life, so does it slowly take it away, by a process known
as oxidation, the very process by which all things decay, and humans "return to dust". Almost every substance on
earth is subject to attack and decay from oxygen. Gold is highly prized because it is essentially impervious to
oxygen's attack, although its outer layer does eventually react with oxygen to form a visible brown or black coloration
we call tarnish.
In humans, scientists believe that excess oxidative stress plays an important role in the initiation and promotion of
atherosclerosis, cancer, cataract, arthritis and other degenerative diseases. Exposure to environmental perils, such
as smoking, pollution or irradiation, eventually increases the oxidative stress beyond the ability of the organism's
defense system to cope with it.
Free radicals are highly reactive forms of oxygen that damage cells throughout the body. As our body creates
energy at the cellular level, oxygen is metabolized changing its structure. In this process, the oxygen molecule
loses one electron, turning it into a free radical. Free radicals are inherently unstable since they contain “extra
energy. To reduce their energy load, free radicals react with certain cells in the body, interfering with the cells’
ability to function normally. Free radicals also are created through detoxifying rancid fats and chemicals, such
as drugs, food additives and preservatives; and by cigarette smoke, pollutants, sunlight, radiation, and
emotional stress.
Just from oxygen consumption alone, an average 150 pound human utilizes about 3.5 mL oxygen/kg/minute,
and if one assumed that about 1% of the oxygen is converted to the superoxide radical, about 1.72 kg or
3.8 pounds of deleterious superoxide radical would be produced per year. This does not take into account
any of the multitude of other methods of producing, or other chemical forms of free radicals in the human body.
Advanced Antioxidant Formula: The Power of Synergy and Recycling
What makes CytoEnergy so powerful and effective is the way its various components work as a team. They
are not only powerful individually, but also function together in what is known as antioxidant cycling. Cycling
extends the time that each one is functional in the body, and also strengthens each other's various functions.
We now know that no one antioxidant is able to completely quench the various types of free radicals produced
in the human body. It is necessary to take antioxidants together, each with specific and different benefits, to
obtain the best protection, and to enhance each others' effectiveness.
For example, as the antioxidant vitamin E disables free radicals, it changes into a minor form of a free radical.
Both vitamin C and alpha-lipoic acid convert this radical form of vitamin E back to its antioxidant-self. However,
when vitamin C recycles vitamin E, it also changes to a free radical. Alpha-lipoic acid and glutathione can both
"recycle" vitamin C back into a potent antioxidant.
Glutathione not only recycles vitamin C, but is the cells' primary antioxidant. Many scientists now state that
maintaining high levels of glutathione is critical for a long and healthy life, as low glutathione levels are a marker
for death at an early age. Glutathione diminishes as we age and cannot be boosted significantly by taking
glutathione orally in supplements. The latest research shows that it is poorly absorbed in this form. This is
why there is no glutathione in CytoEnergy.
Instead, CytoEnergy contains several powerful stimulators of the "glutathione pathway", to aid in production
and protection of this vital endogenous substance. N-acetylcysteine is used by the body to manufacture
glutathione, and alpha-lipoic acid regenerates glutathione, ensuring that the body has an adequate supply.
Turmeric, through its main active component curcuminoids, can double the amount of glutathione in certain
cells. Green tea extract also preserves glutathione by protecting against substances which can destroy it.
OPCs as found in Grape Seed extract play a role in cycling as they sacrifice themselves in order to neutralize
harmful free radicals within the body: In doing so, they make it possible for vitamins C and E and selenium to do
less "antioxidant" work, allowing these nutrients to perform their other functions in the body.
For example, victims of Parkinson's disease show low levels of glutathione in brain tissue. It's interesting to
speculate that perhaps compounds that raise glutathione, such as lipoic acid, NAC, and the potent phenolics
found in berries and their leaves, might be able to help prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease and
Parkinson's disease, two of the most feared and disabling degenerative disorders of old age. All of these
important substances are found, at useful levels, in a dally dose of two capsules of CytoEnergy.
