Antioxidants are substances in our foods which can help prevent or slow oxidative damage to our body. Our body naturally produces free radicals (by-products), after our cells use oxygen, which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence help prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.

Health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, macular degeneration are all thought to be contributed by free radical damage. Antioxidants may also enhance immune defense and therefore help lower the risk of cancer and infection.

Until more studies are done, it is best to get your antioxidants from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables rather than from supplements. Taking supplements in high doses can be harmful. No single antioxidant alone can protect the body. Most people should eat 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Now what if I told you there is a product that allows you to get 10 servings of varied fruits, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms and another product, made up of many different berries, that delivers a staggering 4,500 + on the O.R.A.C scale. Would you have enough interest to want to learn more? I would hope so, because your health is YOURS and it is up to you to feed your body the best possible nutrition you can. If only people would treat their bodies as well as they treat their cars, we would not be in this obesity epidemic.

What you put into your body DOES matter. If you want a sluggish body, go ahead and fill it with fast food, but if you want a revved up body you must feed it the proper nutrients. The bottom line is this, you are what you eat.

Antioxidants play a vital role in your bodies overall health & wellness. Free radical damage is being linked to many disease processes, so if you can help your body by ingesting more antioxidant rich foods, why wouldn't you? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

In my medical practice, one of the first topics covered about Health & Wellness is the necessity of good nutrition. True Health & Wellness cannot be met without proper supplementation. Our soil lacks the vitamins and minerals it once had, our food processing manufacturers remove important nutrients, and our fast paced lives prevent us from getting good nutrients. What are we to do? You have to look for alternatives, at Ultra International; we feel we have created the best products to meet the needs of our busy lives.
