Antioxidants

When we talk about antioxidants we are really referring to a class ofvitamin and nutritional ingredients that help fight and rid the body of free

radicals - the gremlins that can cause untold damage to your body.

The importance of antioxidants is nowadays accepted by even the most

conservative medical fields, and people find great benefit from these

nutritional ingredients in achieving optimum health.

Antioxidants are required for

When the cells and body carry on their daily functions, oxygen is used in

the process and oxidation takes place - and although these are normal

functions, they do cause free radicals (the waste material of these

processes), which can have an influence on the forming of cancer,

arterial damage, inflammation, and accelerated aging through oxidative

damage.

They are also caused by a diet high in fried and barbequed foods,

pollution, radiation, etc. For more on free radicals please click here.

The main sources of antioxidants are vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, plus

its precursor beta carotene, as well as Bioflavonoids (vitamin P). Other

powerful antioxidant sources are Selenium, Co-enzyme Q10, Grape seed

extract and Green tea. To read more on these ingredients, please click

here to go to the bottom of the page where they are discussed in more

detail.

causing, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, cataracts,

diabetes, hypertension, infertility, macular degeneration (eye lens

degeneration), measles, mental illness, periodontal disease, respiratory

tract infection, as well as rheumatoid arthritis.

By adding enough antioxidants to the diet, there is less oxidative stress,

and aging is al so slowed down.

Toxicity and symptoms of high intake

Toxicity may occur if high amounts of the fat soluble vitamins, like

vitamin A and E are taken. Please see the bottom of the page for moreinformation regarding this.

When more may be required

Should you continually be prone to infections, easy bruising, slow wound

healing and excessive wrinkling of the skin, you might be in need of extra

antioxidants.

Enemy of antioxidants

Fried and barbequed food, pollution, radiation.

Food sources of antioxidants

Berries, grapes, tomatoes, broccoli, red/orange/yellow vegetable and

fruits, nuts, peas, broad beans, carrots, watermelon, etc.

Free radicalsFree radicals are formed during the process of oxidation in the body. To

understand this better, think of untreated iron and air - when the iron is

left exposed to the elements rust will form - oxidation will occur.

In our bodies oxygen is transported through the bloodstream to where it

is required for normal cell function. One problem however exists with the

oxygen -it could be lacking in the number of electrons it holds. In order to

keep the electron states stable, the molecules then obtain electrons from

other molecules, which sets off a chain reaction.

The problem with the oxygen could be with the quality of oxygen as such,

which is influenced by pollution, cigarette smoke, as well as other

environmental factors outside the body and poor quality oxygen could be

caused by certain problems within the body as well.

Other factors can lead to the production of free radicals as well, such as

the exposure to radiation from the sun, or from medical X-rays, as well as

environmental pollution and the diet we follow. When the body oxidizes

the food to obtain the nutrients and energy, oxygen is used and unpaired

electrons are released in the process.

Free radicals are altered, unpaired oxygen molecules, which can cause a

great deal of trouble in the body. They are a great contributing factor to

the clogging of arteries and premature aging.

Not all free radicals produced by the body are harmful and indeed, free

radicals produced by the immune system help to destroy viruses and

bacteria. Others are involved in producing vital hormones and activating

enzymes that are needed for li fe itself.

The problem arises where there are excessive free radicals in the body,

which damage the cells and tissues, and the over-abundance of these free

radicals creates even more free radicals in the body.

In very high volumes, free radicals can alter the genetic code material of

cells (DNA) themselves. Mutations that are formed by free radicals canlead to leukemia and other types of cancer as well as a host of other

diseases.

Not only can free radicals cause disease, but they can also damage the

protective cell membrane, this leads to retention of fluids in the cells,

which has a negative effect in the aging process.

To fight these free radicals, antioxidants can be taken into the diet.

Anti-oxidants neutralize and destroy the free radicals, helping to detoxify

and protect the body.

Selenium, Co-enzyme Q 10 and Grape seed extract are all considered

effective antioxidants, and it might be advisable to add an antioxidant to

your daily supplement intake.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C, a lso known as ascorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic

acid, the antiscorbutic vitamin, L-xyloascorbic acid and L-threo-hex-2-

uronic acidy-lactone, is a much talked about vitamin, with people

claiming it as a cure-all for may diseases and problems - from cancer to

the common cold.

This miracle vitamin cannot be manufactured by the body, and needs to

be ingested.

Vitamin C is required for

Vitamin C is required in the synthesis of collagen in connective tissue,

neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, carnitine, conversion of cholesterol

to bile acids and enhances iron bioavailability.

Ascorbic acid is a great antioxidant and helps protect the body against

pollutants.

Because vitamin C is a biological reducing agent, it is also linked to

prevention of degenerative diseases - such as cataracts, certain cancers

and cardiovascular diseases.

Ascorbic acid also promotes healthy cell development, proper calcium

absorption, normal tissue growth and repair - such as healing of wounds

and burns. It assists in the prevention of blood clotting and bruising, and

strengthening of the walls of the capillaries.

Vitamin C is needed for healthy gums, to help protect against infection,

and assisting with clearing up infections, and is thought to enhance the

immune system and help reduce cholesterol levels, high blood pressure

and preventing arteriosclerosis.

Deficiency of Vitamin C

When there is a shortage of vitamin C, various problems can arise,

although scurvy is the only disease clinically treated with vitamin C.

However, a shortage of vitamin C may result in "pinpoint" hemorrhages

under the skin and a tendency to bruise easily, poor wound healing, soft

and spongy bleeding gums and loose teeth.

Edema (water retention) also happens with a shortage of vitamin C,

weakness, a lack of energy, poor digestion, painful joints and bronchial

infections and colds are al so indicative of an under-supply.

Dosage

The dosage underneath is the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA),

but be aware that this dosage is the minimum that you require per day, to

ward off serious deficiency of this particular nutrient. In the therapeutic

use of this nutrient, the dosage is usual ly increased considerably, but the

toxicity level must be kept in mind.

The RDA is 60 mg, per day - yet this amount will only prevent you from

picking up scurvy and more recent studies suggest that an intake between

200 - 1,000 mg per day may be the most beneficial for healthy people.

The recommend dosage for pregnant or lactating women is 75-95 mg per

day.


Since ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin, toxic l evels are not

built-up or stored in the body, and any excess is lost mostly through

urine.

If extremely large amounts are taken gastrointestinal problems may

appear, but will normalize when the intake is cut or reduced. To

determine a level where a person might experience discomfort is difficult,

since some people can easily stomach up to 25,000 mg per day, while

others start having a problem at 600 or 1,000 mg.

Some people using mega-dose therapy of vitamin C may have side effects

eczema, skin ulcers, cold sores and shingles.

Deficiency of Vitamin E

Deficiency of vitamin E is not common, and the symptoms are not very

clear cut, but may include fatigue, inflamed varicose veins, slow wound

healing, premature aging and sub-fertility. When vitamin E is in short

supply symptoms may include acne, anemia, muscle disease, dementia,

cancers, gallstones, shortened red blood cell life-span, spontaneous

abortion (miscarriage), and uterine degeneration.

Dosage






Males 300 iu (10 mg) per day and females 8 mg per day

Toxicity and symptoms of high Vitamin E intake

Toxicity is not easily reached. High intakes may induce diarrhea, nausea

or abdominal wind. People on anticoagulant medication should not take

more than 1,200 iu per day.

Best used with

Take vitamin E with a range of antioxidants - those being vitamin C,beta-carotene and selenium. Vitamin B group vitamins as well as inositol

and manganese are also indicated.

When more Vitamin E may be required

When your diet is high in refined carbohydrates, fried foods and fat, or if

you are taking a birth control pill or hormone replacement therapy, then

a supplement of vitamin E might be called for. People suffering from

pre-menstrual cramps, menopausal hot flushes, after a stroke, or

suffering from a heart disease might benefit from vitamin E. It might also

be beneficial to relieve painful or swollen joints, if you are exposed to

pollution (that is about all of us), suffer from poor circulation, or from

Dupuytren's disease, which is a thickening of the ligaments in the hands.

Enemy of Vitamin E

Vitamin E is lost in food processing which includes milli ng, cooking,

freezing, long storage periods and when exposed to ai r. Vitamin E shouldnot be taken together with inorganic iron supplements as it may destroy

the vitamin, while organic i ron, such as ferrous gluconate and ferrous

fumarate is not affected by the vitamin.

Other interesting points

When buying a supplement you often see "d-alpha-tocopherol" on the list

of ingredients - that means that the vitamin E is from natural sources,

whereas "dl-alpha-tocopherol" will indicate that it is of synthetic origin.

As such the origin of the vitamin does not influence the efficiency thereof.

Food sources of Vitamin E

Vitamin E is found in nuts, oils, vegetables, sunflower seeds, whole

grains, spinach, seeds, wheat oils, asparagus, avocado, beef, seafood,

apples, carrots, celery etc.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A, is also referred to as retinol and beta-carotene. Carotene can

be obtained from either animal or vegetable sources.

The animal form is divided between retinol and dehydroretinol, whereas

the vegetable carotene can be split into four very potent groups - alpha-

carotene, beta-carotene, gamma-carotene and crypto-carotene. With

enough beta-carotene available in the body, the body can manufacture its

own vitamin A.

Vitamin A is required for


5 of 14 01/21/2012 06:17


6/14

Vitamin A is required for night vision, and for a healthy skin. It assi sts

the immune system, and because of its antioxidant properties is great to

protect against pollution, cancer formation and other diseases. It also

assists your sense of taste, helps the digestive and urinary tracts and

many believe that it helps slow aging.

It is required for development and maintenance of the epithelial cells in

the mucus membranes and your skin. It is important in the formation of

bone and teeth, storage of fat and the synthesis of protein and glycogen.

Deficiency of Vitamin AA deficiency of vitamin A may lead to eye problems with dryness of the

conjunctiva and cornea, dry skin and hair, night blindness, as well as

poor growth. Dry itchy eyes that tire easily are normally a warning of too

little vitamin A. If the deficiency becomes severe, the cornea can ulcerate

and permanent blindness can follow.

Abscesses forming in the ear, sinusi tis, frequent colds and respiratory

infections, as well as skin disorders, such as acne, boils and a bumpy

skin, as well as weight loss, might be indicative of the vitamin being in

short supply. Insomnia, fatigue and reproductive difficulties may also be

indicative of the vitamin being in short supply.

Your hair and scalp can also become dry with a deficiency, especially if

protein is also lacking.

Dosage






Male 5,000 IU per day (1,000 g equivalent), female 4,000 IU per day

(800 g retinol equivalent), although 10,000 IU per day is normally used

in supplementation.

Toxicity and symptoms of high Vitamin A intake

Dosages exceeding 15,000 IU per day must be taken under medical

supervision. Toxicity can appear in some individuals at relatively low

dosages and the symptoms may include nausea, dizziness, menstrual

problems, skin changes and dryness, itchiness, irritability, vomiting. Long

term use can cause hair loss, bone and muscle pain, headache, liver

damage and an increase in blood l ipid concentrations.

Pregnant women must be careful, as a high intake of this vitamin can

cause birth defects. Pro-vitamin A - beta-carotene does not cause toxicity.

Be careful if you in the unlikely event run across polar bear on a menu -

500 gram (about a pound) of polar bear liver will deliver about

9,000,000 IU to your diet - a very lethal dose. Headaches, blurred vision,

loss of hair, drowsiness and diarrhea, enlargement of the spleen and

liver can all be indications of your intake being too high.

Best used with

Take vitamin A with B group vitamins, vitamins C, D and E, choline,

essential fatty acids together with calcium, phosphorus and zinc for the

best results.

When more Vitamin A may be required

More of this vitamin is required when you consume alcohol, are on a

low-fat diet, or a diet high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, if you smoke, or

live in a polluted area. It may also be indicated if you suffer from

diabetes or have an under-active thyroid gland. Be careful of vitamin A in

pregnancy.

Enemy of Vitamin A

Retinol is destroyed by light, high temperatures, as well as when using

copper or iron cooking utensils. Beta-carotene rich vegetables and fruit

must not be soaked in water for long periods, since the nutrients can be

lost.


6 of 14 01/21/2012 06:17


7/14


There seems to be no toxicity when ingesting large amounts of

beta-carotene - you might however develop a slightly orange colored

skin, as the carotene gets stored in the skin.

Food sources of Vitamin A

Liver, milk, egg-yolk, carrots, dark green leafy vegetables and yellow

fruits are high in vitamin A or beta-carotene.

Vitamin P - bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids, also called vitamin P, are not strictly speaking a vitamin,

but for easy classification, we are listing it as a vitamin. The term

bioflavonoids refers to many different ingredients and includes hesperin,

hesperidin, eriodictyol, quercetin, quercetin, rutin etc. This nutrient

cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet.

Vitamin P is required for

Bioflavonoids enhance the action of vitamin C and for this reason they

should be taken together. Bioflavonoids are effectively used in the

treatment of sport injuries, as they are pain relieving. They may also be

used in relieving pain in the legs, across the back and can lessen the

symptoms of prolonged bleeding, a low serum calcium as well as oral

herpes.

Bioflavonoids may also be active in preserving the structures ofcapillaries. They have an antibacterial e ffect and promote circulation.

They may be indicated in the production of bile, lowering blood

cholesterol levels and in the prevention and treatment of cataracts.

Bioflavonoids are thought to enhance the absorption of vitamin C, and

possibly to prolong the effectiveness of it.

These are super active substances, and can add a great deal to your

nutritional needs in health and disease.

This nutrient acts together with vitamin C to help maintain the thin walls

of the capillaries, therefore preventing bleeding or bruising.

Bioflavonoids have been linked to having an antibacterial effect,

stimulating bile production, promoting circulation and even assisting with

fighting allergies, asthma etc.

Deficiency of Vitamin P

If a diet contains enough fruit and vegetables, bioflavonoids should notbe deficient, but deficiency would manifest as the ability to bruise easily.

Where antioxidants are indicated and none are present, bioflavonoids

could be of help, as well as where iron is deficient, since they help with

the absorption of iron.

Dosage



ward off serious deficiency of this particular nutrient.

In the therapeutic use of this nutrient, the dosage is usually increased

considerably, but the toxicity level must be kept in mind.

No dosage has been determined but 500 mg per day is indicated for

supplementation.


Very high dosages of bio flavonoids may cause diarrhea.

Best used with

Bioflavonoids should be taken with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and calcium.


Absorption of the bioflavonoids can be a bit s low, but smal l amounts can

be stored in the body.

If you are suffering from cold sores, consider taking a supplement of 500

mg vitamin C and 500 mg bioflavonoids three times a day.

A daily intake of vitamin C and bioflavonoids may make you less

susceptible to cold sores.

Food sources of Bioflavonoids - Vitamin P

Bioflavonoids are found in the white material (pith) just beneath citrus

peel, as well as in peppers, grapes, pine bark, onions, garlic, blue and

red berries, green tea as well as buckwheat.

Selenium

A couple of years ago, selenium used to be treated as a very toxic

substance, but modern science now regards it as essential - but in small

quantities. An overdose or deficiency of selenium is equally bad, and

good steady amounts should be ingested - but in small quantities.

Selenium is required for

One of the main activities of this mineral is its anti-aging properties and

its ability to help rid the body of free radicals, as well as toxic minerals

such as mercury, lead and cadmium. It is helpful in fighting infections

since it stimulates increased antibody response to infections, promotes

more energy in the body, while it helps with alleviating menopausal

symptoms in women, it assists the male in producing healthy sperm.

In certain cases selenium has also proven effective in the fight against

cold sores and shingles, which are both caused by the herpes virus. Some

researchers have shown that in selenium-deficient animals a harmless

virus can mutate into a virulent form, capable of causing damage and

death - this has also been followed up with other studies, which seem to

indicate that selenium helps to keep the spread and growth of viruses in

check.

Selenium is also used against arthritis and multiple sclerosis and if

provided in adequate amounts i t is thought to help prevent cancer as

well. Tissue elasticity and pancreatic function is also dependant on this

mineral.

In a study, it was shown that selenium could be useful in treating certain

cancers, and is also helpful in making the blood less "sticky", which is

helpful in preventing heart attacks and strokes.

Dosage

The dosage is the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), but be aware

that this dosage is the minimum that you require per day, to ward off

serious deficiency of this particular nutrient. In the therapeutic use of this

nutrient, the dosage i s usually increased considerably, but the toxicity

level must be kept in mind.

In the case of microelements, such as trace elements, the amounts are

very small , yet they are still important and 70 micrograms per day is

taken as the required dosage.

Toxicity and symptoms of high Selenium intake

As mentioned earl ier - selenium is toxic and too large quantities may

result in hair loss, tooth decay, brittle nails, white spots, poor appetite,

sour taste in the mouth, loss of feeling in the hands and feet, change in

skin pigmentation and the breath may have a garlic smell.

Best used with

Selenium should always be taken with vitamins E, A and beta-carotene,

and it is preferable when taking a supplement to take selenium in the

form of selenocysteine or selenomethionine, which are both organic.

People with yeast intolerance should check the source of the selenium

used in the supplement, as certain manufacturers obtain selenium from

yeast.

When more Selenium may be required

Men need more selenium than women, as it is lost in the seminal fluid,

and people staying in areas where the soil is poor in selenium, should

also pay attention to their selenium intake.

Food sources of Selenium

Brazil nuts are excellent sources of selenium and selenium is also found

in whole grains and shellfish.

Co-enzyme Q10

This powerful and naturally occurring compound - co-enzyme Q10 -

promotes chemical reactions, protecting the body from free radicals, andis also called ubiquinone. Some disagreement exists regarding its

classification, where some are of the opinion that it is in reality a vitamin

or vitamin-like substance.

Co-enzyme Q10 is required for

Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is naturally present in foods, and can be

synthesized by the body from the amino acid tyrosine during a multistage

(17 stages) process requiring eight vitamins and several trace elements.

The best-known effects of this compound are its antioxidant qualities, as

well as the control it exercises on the flow of oxygen within cells. It

assists with cardiovascular functioning, the production of energy and the

absorption of other nutrients. It also has immune boosting properties.

Studies on mice showed an increase of 50% extension of life span.

Co-enzyme Q10 is the coenzyme for at least three mitochondrial enzymes,

as well as other enzymes in the cell. The mitochondrial enzymes are

essential for the production of high-energy adenosine phosphates (ATP).

It has been found to be effective in a variety of health problems, and

great promise has been shown when it is used to assist cancer treatment,

protecting patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Studies showed that patients taking 90 mg of this compound experienced

less pain, increase in appetite and decreased metastases.

Studies using 300 -900 mg, reported partial or total remission. People

who stay thin and slim, yet eat a lot, have much higher levels of this

compound in their blood. This assists with fuel efficiency within the cells,

which also assists weight loss.

People suffering from periodontal disease may also be deficient in this

compound, as it has a protective and strengthening action in all tissues

(This is why it is also beneficial to the heart muscle).

Deficiency of Co-enzyme Q10

When we are deficient of this compound in our system, our general health

will start deteriorating, and should levels drop 25% below the optimum

levels, many diseases may start progressing, diseases like high blood

pressure, heart attack, angina, immune depression, periodontal disease,

lack of energy and weight gain.

People suffering from congestive heart failure who take co-enzyme Q10

should NOT stop taking it suddenly, since sudden withdrawal may

intensify the symptoms of congestive heart failure.

Dosage




use of this nutrient, the dosage is usual ly increased considerably, but thetoxicity level must be kept in mind.

No recommendation has been set.

Toxicity and symptoms of high Co-enzyme Q10 intake

Toxicity and side effects are not known, but pregnant or breast-feeding

mothers should not take it in supplement form.

In extreme dosages, such as 600 - 1200 mg per day, headaches,

heartburn, fatigue, diarrhea and skin reactions have been reported.

10/14

Best used with

Since the compounds are fat soluble, it is best to take it with dietary fat

present.

When more may be required

Should the liver perform under par, it cannot manufacture Q10 from the

other Q coenzymes, and this production also diminishes with age.

People suffering from angina, HIV, male infertility, diabetes, periodontaldisease, high blood pressure, cancer and receiving chemotherapy could

benefit from an increase in CoQ10.

Food sources of Co-enzyme Q10

Good sources are found in beef, soy, mackerel, sardines, spinach,

peanuts, soybeans and vegetable oil.

Grape seed extract

This natural compound, extracted from the seeds of grapes, helps to

protect cells from the damage caused by oxidation, free radicals and also

promotes healthy circulation.

Procyanidolic oligomer - grapeseed extract - is beneficial in treating

degenerative and deteriorating diseases because of the potent

antioxidant qualities it has.

Some expensive supplements, derived from pine bark, contain 85%proanthocyanidin while grapeseed extract contains 95%

proanthocyanidin.

It helps increase the effectiveness of vitamin C by acting as a carrier and

as a restorer of oxidized vitamin C by working with glutathione.

These nutrients belong to the flavonoid family. The action of this nutrient

is to act as an antioxidant and stabilize collagen and e lastin - both

important proteins in connective tissues, as well as blood vessels and

muscles.

Although they are not essential nutrients to the body they do have a part

to play in achieving optimum health.

These nutrients are water-soluble and free of side effects since excess is

simply excreted in the urine. Another positive effect of these flavonoids in

the body is the sparing of consumption of vitamin C.

PCOs increase intra cellular vitamin C levels, decrease capillary

permeability and fragility, scavenge oxidants and free radicals, and

uniquely binds to collagen in order to protect it from destruction.

Green tea

The wise Chinese have used green tea for centuries and for good reason.

These humble leaves have become the darling of Western nutritionally

aware people, since they have great antioxidant properties, combat

mental fatigue and are also used with great effect by people who suffer

from various forms of cancer.

For more information on how green tea in cosmetics can benefit the

skin, please click here.

Green tea is required for

Green tea is used for its antioxidant properties, to help fight mental and

physical fatigue, its general health enhancing properties and in the fight

against cancer. Green tea helps to prevent blood clotting tendencies,

lowers blood cholesterol levels and regulates blood sugar levels. It is

also used in weight loss programs, since it is helpful to those individuals

busy with weight loss.

It contains various compounds such as catechin, epigallocatechin,

flavonoids, bioflavonoids, fluoride, gallic acid, polyphenols, tannin,

theophylline, vitamin C, as well as a small amount of caffeine.

Deficiency of green tea

No specific deficiencies will result from not ingesting green tea, since it

is not an essential nutritional ingredient.


People suffering from anxiety disorder, irregular heartbeat, or when

pregnant or breastfeeding are advised to limit their intake of green tea.

When more green tea may be requiredWhen tired or generally fatigued, green tea could help you regain your

zest for life again.
