VITAMIN E Vitamin E is a powerful vitamin and antioxidant that circulates in the blood and destroys free radicals. It also prevents damage to cell membranes, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. Furthermore, vitamin E keeps LDL (bad) cholesterol from becoming oxidized LDL which leads to the buildup of arterial plaque and can lead to heart disease. Vitamin E improves circulation, is necessary for tissue repair and is useful in treating premenstrual syndrome and fibrocystic disease of the breast. It promotes normal blood clotting and healing, reduces scarring from some wounds, reduces blood pressure, aids in preventing cataracts, improves athletic performance, and relaxes leg cramps. It also maintains healthy nerves and muscles while strengthening capillary walls. In addition, it promotes healthy skin and hair, and helps to prevent anemia and retrolental fibroplasia, an . . .

The bark of the European coastal pine, Pinus maritima, is a rich source of excellent antioxidants called OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins). OPCs are bioflavonoids — a group of substances now receiving intense study because their ability to reduce free radical damage makes them promising agents for preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease and various chronic diseases of aging. The impressive list of effects shown or implied by recent studies of OPCs includes: Greater protection against free radicals and DNA damage than is provided by vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene; Selective toxicity to human breast-, lung-, and gastric-cancer cells; Protection against drug-induced liver and kidney damage, tobacco-induced DNA damage, UV-induced skin damage, and chemotherapy-induced toxicity; Preventing heart damage from oxygen deprivation; strengthening blood vessels, repairing varicose veins, . . .

Enteric Coated, SuperoxideDismutase with Glutathione Peroxidase, Catalase and other supportive herbs. The SOD (SuperOxideDismutase) enzyme is an antiradical or antioxident, meaning that it moves around the body binding to and then deactivating free radicals in the body, preventing them from causing cancer or other cell damage in the body. It is believed that antiradicals such as SOD can help prevent cancer, heart disease, and a host of other diseases, and perhaps even delay the aging process. The electrostatic steering effect of the SOD enzyme enables it to attract, bind to, and deactivate free radicals in the human body. The negatively charged surface surrounding the postively charged binding sites has the effect of ``steering'' the radical into the site. In the March 4, 1993 issue of the New York times, it was announced that researchers at MIT had discovered that the gene responsible . . .
