INFORMATION
Free radicals are very aggressive molecules that are formed by chemical reactions during human metabolism. During sport and intense muscular efforts the body’s metabolic demands increase leading to a more rapid accumulation of free radicals. Free radical production rate is proportional to the amount of oxidative stress and cellular damage placed upon the body. This can be detrimental to health, and cause serious damage to tissues and organs. Free radical damage is also responsible for post-exercise muscle soreness and impairs, and it delays recovery if left unchecked. We are also exposed to external sources of free radicals from environmental, chemical, and UV radiation exposure. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays is the main cause of skin aging (photo-aging), due to oxidative stress and damage induced by free radicals.
FEATURES
TOTAL PROTECTION® is an antioxidant nutritional supplement. Its complex antioxidant formula aims at contrasting the action of free radicals. Alpha Lipoic Acid is useful for reduced glutathione regeneration [1], the most powerful antioxidant in our body. OPC and polyphenols are useful to contrast cellular aging processes caused by free radicals [2]. Curcumin has a well-documented antioxidant power [3] and provides a healthy functioning of the immunitary system. TOTAL PROTECTION® helps the human body to defend itself from the damages caused by sun light, smoking, intense physical activity, smog or by general oxidative stress. In particular, ViNitrox™ is a grape and apple concentrate containing a great amount of antixidants which is useful against free radical stress of different origins.
