What is Pure Prescriptions Antioxidant Formula?
It's a unique blend of nutrients that have well-documented powerful antioxidant
properties: Betatene (natural mixed carotenes including beta carotene), vitamin
C, vitamin E and selenium.
What do the antioxidants do, exactly?
Antioxidants chemically deactivate and neutralize free radicals. But most antioxidants
only protect certain structures within the cell. No single antioxidant protects
every structure from every type of free radical. So it's necessary to take
a combination of antioxidants if you want broad protection.
Betatene is a combination of five of the carotenoids that are naturally
found in fruits and vegetables: beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, cryptoxanthin,
zeaxanthin and lutein. Carotenoids are fat-soluble and function in the interior
membranes of cells like those in the eyes and gland tissues.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant and therefore functions in the
blood and in fluids within cells, protecting many different structures, including
teeth/gums and connective tissue.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant, protecting structures like cell
membranes and cholesterol from oxidation.
Selenium is a trace mineral that works in conjunction with the antioxidant
glutathione, a very important antioxidant that is naturally present in most cells
of the body, especially the kidneys, liver, heart, pancreas and muscles.
Are antioxidants safe?
Very safe. Antioxidants are among the safest dietary supplements.
Is this product suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. Pure Prescriptions Antioxidant formula contains no animal products.
