“Antioxidants. Defend your body at the cellular level and protect your good health for a lifetime!”

Our cells produce thousands of free radicals every day. Free radicals from the environment occur as an effect of stress, pollution and unhealthy eating habits. Oxidation is a damaging but essential process that our bodies create to generate energy. Without proper nutrition, oxidation can contribute to any number of debilitating diseases, including cancer, heart disease and aging.

Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to defend our bodies against these scavengers, with the super power of antioxidants.

So what are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are chemical compounds that neutralize the effects of oxidation. The best-known antioxidants are vitamins A, C and E, and the mineral selenium. Often referred to as ACES, these antioxidants cannot be made by the body and must be ingested.

Thermojetics® Formula 1 Protein Drink Mix, Formula 2 Multivitamin-Mineral & Herbal Tablets and Schizandra Plus are superb sources of vitamins A, C, E and selenium.

A variety of colors for better protection

Food is another important source of antioxidants. Fruits and vegetables are the best sources, and their variety of color often reflects different antioxidants. The culinary herb rosemary is among the most powerful. In fact, rosemary twigs are often added to olive oil to prevent oxidation of the oil. In our bodies, rosemary has a cascading affect, or the ability to regenerate itself to exert greater antioxidant power than most available substances.

RoseOx™ combines the antioxidant power of a patented rosemary extract with a cruciferous vegetable extract, which provides some of the same benefits you would receive from consuming cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts and much more.

Berries target heart health and skin

Cranberry extract contains proanthocyanidins, a prophylactic agent that protects against urinary-tract infections by shielding the bladder wall against the growth of bacteria. In a recent study, cranberry was found to contain the highest total content of phenols, major bioactive compounds that produce health benefits, and even protect the heart and skin. Cranberry and its related berries, bilberry and blueberry, exert potent antioxidant activity. Triple Berry Complex combines the antioxidant power of these berries to promote the health of the urinary tract, and further adds to the antioxidant protection of Herbalife’s superior nutritional program.

Pycnogenol® is a superantioxidant

Herbalife’s newest product for male-sexual enhancement, Prelox™ Blue, is a remarkable patent-pending formula that contains the antioxidant Pycnogenol® – a standardized extract from the French maritime pine bark. Prelox™ Blue has important physiologic benefits, including the ability to protect against oxidative stress, neutralize free radicals and help regenerate the antioxidant benefits of vitamins C and E. In addition to its antioxidant properties, Pycnogenol® helps protect the arteries.

Antioxidant protection for the entire body

Tocotrienol is a lesser known, but powerful antioxidant that protects cell membranes from free-radical damage. It also has the ability to help maintain cholesterol that is already within a healthy range. Cardio ToconOx®combines the power of tocotrienol with coenzyme Q10, an essential antioxidant for the cellular generation of energy.

Herbalife’s nutritional supplements contain a variety of other antioxidants. Ultimate Prostate Formula is rich in the antioxidant lycopene, which is found to help support the prostate. In addition, our Ocular Defense Formula contains lutein, which is believed to help protect the eyes.

Antioxidants should be an essential part of your daily supplement regimen and meal plan.
