Product Details

Supplementation with antioxidants such as vitamins C and E has been growing rapidly in the past few years as research on harmful free radicals intensifies. AntiOxidant Formula offers a synergistic, broad spectrum of antioxidants designed to protect against free radical damage in every cell of the body. This formula offers a range of antioxidant nutrients to promote cellular health as well as support and enhance the body’s natural defense mechanisms against free radicals: the enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Recent research points to the fact that a synergistic combination of antioxidants is more effective than the total effect of each antioxidant taken alone. Milk thistle extract is derived from Silybum marianum fruit and standardized to contain 80% silymarin. Mixed carotenoids containing beta carotene, alpha carotene, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and lutein are derived from D. salina (algae). Natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol succinate) is derived from soy. Riboflavin (B2) is derived from corn fermentation. N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) is synthetically derived. Selenium and zinc are derived from limestone. Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil.

Milk thistle should be avoided by individuals with allergies to members of the aster (Compositea/Asteraceae) family.

Consult your physician for more information.
