Manufacturer Description
- High strength formula
- Unique patented antioxidants
AOC is one of the most advanced antioxidant products available in the world today. It contains a wide variety of unique, patented, high strength and extensively researched ingredients.
Antioxidants 'neutralize', or render harmless, oxygen free radical molecules. Free radicals are highly reactive toxic by-products of bio-chemical reactions that occur both as a part of normal cell metabolism and when the body is exposed to damaging environmental influences such as excessive UV rays from sunlight, cigarette smoke and toxins in our food, air and water. The oxidative damage caused by free radicals has been linked to the onset of many degenerative diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration as well as premature ageing. Antioxidants therefore play a vital role in our health and well being.
This product contains the following ingredients:
AstaCarox (astaxanthin): Astaxanthin occurs naturally in fish, shellfish and certain plants. The antioxidative properties of astaxanthin are very powerful. Trials comparing astaxanthin with other fat soluble antioxidants such as Vitamin E has shown it to be 550 times more effective than Vitamin E.
Lyc-O-Mato® (natural Lycopene): Scientific research has established that carotenoids, like lycopene, beta-carotene, phytoene, phytofluene and other tomato phytonutrients found in Lyc-O-Mato® are synergistic to each other and play a vital role in helping to maintain good health. Clinical research clearly indicates that Lyc-O-Mato® helps to support prostate and heart health and helps to protect our skin from sun damage.
Bilberry Extract (anthocyanosides): Extracts like bilberry which contain anthocyanosides have been scientifically shown to possess strong antioxidant properties which may help to stabilize collagen fibres and promote collagen biosynthesis.
Pine Bark and Grapseed Extracts (Proanthocyanidins): Proanthocyanidins antioxidant capabilities are 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E. The proanthocyanidins found in pine bark and grape seed extracts may work directly to help strengthen blood vessels and improve the delivery of oxygen to the cells. Proanthocyanidins are one of the most commonly used ingredients in orally administered cosmetics to help in the prevention of wrinkles.
Green Tea Extract (polyphenols & catechins): Derived from Chinese green tea leaf, this special extract contains 95% polyphenols of which 70% are catechins and 30% epigallocatechin (egcg). The antioxidant strength of green tea is continually the focus of intense scientific research, especially with regard to weight loss and cancer.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (thiotic acid): Alpha Lipoic acid dissolves in both water and fat, it is k nown as the "universal antioxidant" which is able to deactivate more free-radical cells than most antioxidants, the majority of which tend to dissolve in either fat or water, but not both. Alpha Lipoic Acid can reach tissues composed mainly of fat, such as the nervous system, as well as those made mainly of water, such as the heart and therefore protect both lipoproteins and membranes. No other natural anti-oxidant can do this.
