| 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 . . . | |

| 2. Life Link's TMG-15 120Caps | |
| Life Link's TMG-15 120Caps Trimethylglycine (TMG), an amino acid found mainly in the liver, plays an important role in protecting the liver, heart, and vasculature. TMG activates an enzyme that neutralizes another amino acid called homocysteine. Chronic elevation of homocysteine is associated with thrombosis (blood clots) and with increased heart and artery disease. TMG has been touted as a treatment for many conditions, including high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, stroke, fatty liver disease, dry mouth, seizures, convulsions, osteoporosis, urinary tract infections, and diseases in general. All of these except the last three are supported by published scientific studies. TMG may also indirectly alleviate certain other problems if, as many believe, it increases the body's production of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). SAMe is said to remyelinate nerves, and ameliorate depression, . . . | |

| 3. Olympian Labs Selenium 200mcg 100Caps | |
| SELENIUM Selenium is an essential trace mineral in the human body. This nutrient is a component of glutathione peroxidase, an important enzyme that protects arteries and cell membranes from damage by free radicals that are produced during normal oxygen metabolism. The body has developed defenses such as antioxidants to control levels of free radicals because they can damage cells and contribute to the development of some chronic diseases. Selenium is also essential for normal functioning of the immune system and thyroid gland. Selenium may also aid in protein synthesis, growth and development, and fertility, especially in the male. It has been shown to improve sperm production and motility. Selenium has a variety of functions but its main role is as an antioxidant. It is part of a nutritional antioxidant system that protects cell membranes and intracellular structural membranes from . . . | |
