Biotics Research BioProtect - 270 Capsules Biotics Research BioProtect supplies a wide spectrum of anti-oxidant nutrients in reasonable amounts to assist in the bodies ability to "quench" free radicals, compounds that cause biological damage to cells. For the Health of Your Patients: As a broad spectrum antioxidant, BioProtect provides support against free radical damage. Free radicals are atoms or molecules containing an unpaired electron, which seeks to reign in other electrons in order to achieve a more stable, less reactive configuration. Free radicals cause biological damage, generally by oxidative processes, and may be expressed directly as damage to cellular components, or indirectly by a disturbance in the redox state of the cell that maintains the metabolic central processes. Through direct damage, free radicals may damage vital components of the cell, including DNA and proteins. For example, free radicals may damage the lens proteins in the eye, leading to age-related degeneration. Free radicals can oxidize LDL cholesterol; oxidized free radicals have been implicated in events that cause damage to arteries. When the body's natural defenses are overwhelmed, free radicals indiscriminately attack neighboring molecules. Many chronic conditions have been associated with damage from free radicals, ensuing as a result of an imbalance between radical-generating and radical-scavenging systems. This type of situation is deemed "oxidative stress". For the Health of Your Practice: BioProtect provides a balanced array of potent antioxidants and synergists, ranging from vitamins and minerals to phytochemicals and powerful antioxidant enzymes, specially formulated for enhanced bioavailability and effectiveness. Antioxidants have the ability to "scavenge" free radicals and inhibit their chain reactions. The multitude of antioxidants included in BioProtect play various roles and act in synergy to support the body's natural defense mechanisms.

Because diabetes has become a major global health problem, this conference held in March 2006 drew international medical specialists. Faculty members of the Medical and Health Sciences department, UAE U., United Arab Emirates, introduce the scope of this growing challenge and conference emphases on recent advances in the field and the role of diabetes education in prevention and management. Contributors provide a 37-chapter update on current research and issues including the epidemiology of diabetes; its immunology; predisposing metabolic syndrome; pancreas transplantation; complications; public health aspects; nutrition; and molecular genetics. Unique Middle Eastern aspects include a study of the effect of a high-calorie diet on diabetes development in camels, and the therapeutic potential of an antioxidant-rich Arabic folk medicine.

Optimum Nutrition's Opti-Men combines Vitamins and Essential Minerals with a comprehensive array of herbs and other ingredients specifically designed for males. For the human body to perform at its maximum potential, it must be fed a vast and complex array of vital nutrients. Becoming deficient in just one of these essential vitamins or minerals breaks down the metabolic pathway that produces optimum efficiency and performance declines. Not good! Daily consumption of a high-potency multivitamin/multimineral formula may help ensure the presence of essential cofactors necessary for thousands of metabolic reactions.Many people underestimate the importance of them. If your body is deficient in just one of the essential vitamins and minerals over a thousand chemical and enzymatic processes in your body could be impaired. Each and every vitamin and mineral is responsible for thousands of biochemical reactions, including the formation of hormones. Directions: As a supplement, consume 2 tablets daily, or use as directed by a licensed nutritionist or physician.

Supercritical Diet & Energy delivers New Chapter's herbal strategy for optimal energy and weight management. How you feel and how your body stores fat are functions of complex metabolic processes. Your genetic profile, what and when you eat, your exercise routine, metabolism of sugars and insulin, even your stress and toxin levels, all these combine to create the energy and form of your body. A responsible health program respects all these factors, and an herbal strategy must do so as well. We thus offer a Five Stage Herbal System, combining properly extracted and concentrated herbs that are thermogenics, adaptogens, antioxidants, phytoglycemics, and cell protectives.Thermogenic herbs enhance metabolic functioning and promote fat oxidation. Adaptogens support normal functioning of the hormonal HPA axis (hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal) which specifically influences normal cortisol function and fat metabolism. Antioxidant herbs address two potential concerns: (I) the probable suboptimal concentrations of free radical scavengers commonly found in weight-challenged individuals; and (II) providing detoxification support should lifetime stores of toxins be released from stored fat. Cell protectives promote normal membrane integrity and deliver important formulation-balancing properties. Lastly and most importantly, phytoglycemics help glucose to do its primary work creating immediate cellular energy rather than ending up as "stored" potential energy in the form of fat deposits.

Carnosine is a multifunctional dipeptide made up of a chemical combination of the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine. It is found both in food and in the human body. Long-lived cells such as nerve cells (neurons) and muscle cells (myocytes) contain high levels of carnosine. Muscle levels of carnosine correlate with the maximum life spans of animals. Carnosine is a naturally occurring antioxidant that has been shown to be an anti-glycating agent.This nutrient also has the ability to suppress formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), culprits in metabolic dysfunction and oxidative stress that can lead to age-related conditions. Carnosine levels decline with age. Muscle levels decline 63% from age 10 to age 70, which may account for the normal age-related decline in muscle mass and function.Since carnosine acts as a pH buffer, it can keep on protecting muscle cell membranes from oxidation under the acidic conditions of muscular exertion. Carnosine enables the heart muscle to contract more efficiently through enhancement of calcium response in heart myocytes.Aging causes irreversible damage to the body?s proteins. One underlying mechanism behind this damage is glycation. Glycation involves the non-enzyme controlled cross-linking of proteins and sugars to form non-functioning structures in the body. The process of glycation can be superficially seen as unsightly wrinkled skin. Glycation is also an underlying cause of age-related neurologic, vascular, and eye problems. Carnosine is a unique dipeptide that can interfere with the glycation process.Benfotiamine, a derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1), provides additional protection against glycation reactions while guarding cells against the toxic effects of chronic glucose exposure. Even people with normal glucose levels encounter damaging sugar reactions over a lifetime. Benfotiamine protects against glucose-induced cell damage via several mechanisms.
