Solgar Advanced Antioxidant Formula 120 Caps

The SOLGAR Advanced Antioxidant Formula is a highly comprehensive antioxidant blend that contains various vitamins and minerals and helps minimize damage caused by free radicals.

Free radicals are produced by the body when we breathe, digest food, exercise, or even sleep. They also arise naturally due to emotional stress, ultraviolet light, radiation, and environmental pollution. Free radicals damage the body by causing cellular deterioration, reducing defenses against disease, and placing the body under “stress”.

To mitigate the effects of free radicals, a balance with antioxidants is necessary. The most important antioxidants include: beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, and plant-derived compounds such as turmeric and ginkgo biloba.

Antioxidants are obtained through a healthy, balanced diet, but supplementation may be necessary to ensure optimal intake.

The SOLGAR Advanced Antioxidant Formula combines vitamins C and E with minerals such as zinc, selenium, and copper, all of which have strong antioxidant properties. For a holistic approach, the formula also includes several amino acids.

This special formulation uses multiple bioactive components derived from foods such as green tea, red wine, and Pycnogenol (a registered trademark in the USA for products containing bark from French maritime pine). Additional plant-derived antioxidants are included to further enhance the blend, including ginkgo biloba, spirulina, and milk thistle. Solgar® Advanced Antioxidant Formula is suitable for strict vegetarians, and the daily dose is 2 vegetable capsules containing vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

Vitamin C contributes to:

• Normal collagen formation for the proper function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth

Zinc contributes to:

• Maintenance of normal hair, skin, and nails

• Carbohydrate metabolism

• Cognitive function

• Fertility and reproduction

• Vitamin A metabolism

• Normal testosterone levels in the blood

• Vision function

• Immune system function

• Maintenance of normal bones

• Protection of cells from oxidative stress

Manganese contributes to:

• Normal energy-yielding metabolism

• Maintenance of normal bones

• Normal formation of connective tissue

• Protection of cells from oxidative stress

Rosehip fruit contains bioflavonoids naturally present with vitamin C, enhancing its absorption and bioavailability.

Vitamin A contributes to:

• Normal iron metabolism

• Maintenance of normal mucous membranes

• Maintenance of normal skin

• Normal vision

• Normal immune system function

This product also includes:

• Taurine, an essential amino acid not produced by the body, involved in various bodily processes

• L-Glutathione, formed from three amino acids (glutamic acid, cysteine, glycine), with an important role in liver function

• L-Cysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid involved in metabolism and energy production from fats, and also in keratin synthesis for skin, hair, and nails. It can also be used in glutathione production

• Carotenoids, pigments responsible for the yellow, red, and orange colours in plants, vegetables, and fruits
