Antioxidants Support the Brain

Antioxidants may help maintain brain health and help prevent mild memory loss associated with the natural process of aging. In fact, potent antioxidants and omega-3’s are important natural components of the diet that help maintain brain health throughout the lifespan.

Overproduction of free radicals can cause damage to the brain.  For example, when imbalances occur between free radicals and the body’s ability to neutralize them, good health can be in danger!  Environmental factors such as pollution and smoke, play a role in creating imbalance. Furthermore, the typical unhealthy foods in today’s diet may not be providing us with the beneficial antioxidants that nature intended. 

Excess free radicals can lead to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, which affects memory. Free radicals can attack the brain cells which lead to the degeneration of the brain. Since antioxidants neutralize free radicals, the health benefits of antioxidants should not be underestimated. 

Antioxidants also help to protect the fats in the brain. The majority of the brain is comprised of fats and the brain is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage resulting from imbalance. Antioxidants help provide balance by preventing lipid peroxidation, the process whereby free radicals steal electrons from the lipids in our cell membranes, causing damage to the brain cell.

Res-Q Antioxidant Supplements:

Res-Q Mega Acai is a new Res-Q supplement that contains a unique combination of multiple, powerful antioxidants with the superior ability to neutralize free radicals. Res-Q Mega Acai is intended to supplement the diet by helping to ensure the provision of potent and powerful antioxidants that maintain good health during aging.  Res-Q Mega Acai is specifically formulated to fight multiple types of free radicals. This provides greater health benefits for the brain.

Combining different types of antioxidants provides greater health benefits. According to the medical journal Neuroreport, “The combination of resveratrol and vitamin C and/or E was more effective in protecting the cell than was any of these three antioxidants alone.” Therefore, Res-Q Mega Acai may be used along with Res-Q CellPower, our antioxidant blend containing the fat-soluble form of Vitamin C, and Res-Q Resveratrol, an extract of red grape skin with unique anti-aging benefits. Combining different types of antioxidants provides better protection against free radicals. Using these products in conjunction provides better protection against multiple types of free radicals for enhanced brain health benefits.

 The entire body is made up of cells and these cells need antioxidants for optimal balance. Excess amounts of free radicals can harm cells. Neutralizing multiple types of free radicals promotes better cell health and arterial health.

Furthermore, green tea has detoxification properties that promote good health and well-being. Green tea has antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea may also encourage good intestinal flora.

Res-Q Mega Acai, a superior antioxidant supplement, provides a unique combination of multiple, powerful antioxidants designed to fight different types of free radicals.  Green tea leaf extract is included in Res-Q Mega Acai due to its efficacy on specific types of free radicals and its wonderful well-known antioxidant properties and health benefits.  The Acai berry fruit, pomegranate fruit and green tea leaf extracts in Res-Q Mega Acai have superior antioxidant activity allowing for optimal health benefits. By combining green tea leaf extract with pomegranate and Acai fruit extracts, we can provide a powerful antioxidant supplement.

 Although green tea has many health benefits, green tea is included in Res-Q Mega Acai for its powerful antioxidant abilities. For the health benefits of green tea associated with weight loss, we recommend Res-Q TrimSystem, our primary product to support a healthy weight loss regimen. Res-Q TrimSystem contains the proper levels of green tea leaf extract to stimulate the metabolism plus many nutrients and herbs that help facilitate weight loss, burn fat, and help combat hunger. For more information, call 1-800-262-5483.

A few of the beneficial components of pomegranate include: ellagic acid, punicic acid, flavonoids, anthocyanidins, anthocyanins, flavonols and flavones. Ellagic acid is a popular active constituent of pomegranate that provides antioxidant action and cell health benefits.

The powerful antioxidant action of pomegranate may be synergistic. The health benefits of pomegranate are not attributed to any single component of the fruit. It is believed that the health benefits are attributed to the multiple, natural properties of the pomegranate fruit working together.

In ancient times, pomegranate was regarded as a mystical fruit having special powers such as good luck. In fact, Granada, in Spain, gets its name from the pomegranate fruit and pomegranate is the symbol of this ancient city.

Pomegranate fruit may be especially useful to help maintain health in the following areas: cardiovascular health, diabetes and Alzheimer’s  disease.  Extracts of pomegranate fruit promote good health by acting as scavengers for free radicals, promoting antioxidant activity and decreasing lipid peroxidation.

Adding the power of the pomegranate fruit to the power of the Acai fruit, produces a powerful antioxidant supplement. Res-Q Mega Acai, a potent antioxidant dietary supplement, contains extracts of Acai fruit, pomegranate fruit, and green tea leaf. The combination of these ingredients produces superior antioxidant activity thus providing Res-Q customers with the best antioxidant supplement available today.

Smoking increases risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Free radicals harm the brain
Clinical studies on Alzheimer’s disease show a connection between free radicals and Alzheimer’s disease. Free radicals, which are by-products of normal bodily processes, can be harmful in excess quantities. Free radicals can be triggered by pollution and smoking.

Smoking triggers excess free-radical production.
Free radicals attack cells. The attacked cells attack more cells causing a chain reaction of damage to the body. This happens because free radicals are missing an electron and steal electrons from other atoms, then those atoms are missing electrons. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by lending an electron or by otherwise stabilizing the free radicals so the free radical does not harm the body.

Modern diets lack antioxidants
Diets lacking sufficient fruits and vegetables may lack antioxidants. Supplementing the diet with antioxidants can benefit health and increase longevity. Studies show that using multiple antioxidants works better than using just one antioxidant. Studies show that antioxidants can help maintain a healthy brain.

Antioxidants help maintain a healthy brain
One of our best antioxidant products is Res-Q CellPower. Another great antioxidant product that helps protect the brain from free radicals is Res-Q Resveratrol. Research shows that using the ingredients in both products together would produce maximum benefits for the health of the brain. Res-Q Multi, our heart healthy multivitamin, contains vitamins, minerals, heart-healthy ingredients, and a variety of antioxidants also.

Which is more harmful “cholesterol” or “oxidized cholesterol” ?

Antioxidants help inhibit the oxidation process which makes cholesterol harmful to the arteries. In fact, the medical reports that the doctors read, report that oxidative stress has been linked to arteriosclerosis in postmenopausal women. The importance of antioxidants for heart and cholesterol health can not be underestimated.

Everyone worries about their cholesterol number, their LDL cholesterol number, since research established an association with LDL cholesterol levels that are elevated, much higher than normal, and increased risk of cardiovascular heart health risks.

For this reason, you may not hear about the role that antioxidants play in heart health and the importance of obtaining antioxidants in the diet when on a cholesterol health program, even though there is also a connection between heart health and fruit/vegetable intake rich in antioxidants.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that plays a role in our body and has a purpose. However LDL cholesterol that has become oxidized adheres more easily to the arterial wall, thus inhibiting circulation and blood flow to the heart.

For this reason, we recommend using Res-Q CellPower, an antioxidant supplement, for those taking Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin and Res-Q 1250 to continue to maintain their cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range, because the reason we watch our cholesterol levels is to promote the health of our arteries.Res-Q Resveratrol and Res-Q Multi may be used along with Res-Q CellPower for additional antioxidant health benefits. Using multiple antioxidants together may provide further health benefits. To place an order for Res-Q products, or to speak with a Res-Q consultant, call toll free 1-800-26-ALIVE (262-5483).
