Thompsons Antioxidant ACE Tablets 60

ANTIOXIDANT ACE may be a useful aid in the prevention of premature ageing, the development of cancer and help to lower the risk of coronary heart disease and diabetes.

There is extensive evidence to implicate free radicals in the development of degenerative disease and premature aging.

Thompson s ANTIOXIDANT ACE contains Vitamins and Minerals with proven antioxidant properties such as natural mixed carotenoids and Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Selenium and Zinc. These nutrients are considered the first line of defence against lipid peroxidation, protecting cell membranes at an early stage of free radical attack through its free radical-scavenging activity. ANTIOXIDANT ACE features the latest in free radical scavenging nutrients: Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) and Quercetin, and special plant based antioxidants Lycopene and Grapeseeds Procyanidins (PCO s)

Research suggests that ALA may be the ideal antiaging antioxidant. It is an essential coenzyme factor in the production of energy and a powerful antioxidant. ALA is known as the universal antioxidant because being both water and fat soluble it is able to reach every body tissue to combat oxidative stress. In clinical trials ALA has been shown effective in normalising blood sugar and in alleviating many of the problems that accompany diabetes such as retinal damage and neuropathy. Together with Vitamin E, ALA has also proven useful in protecting against atherosclerosis by reducing serum cholesterol levels. There is also some evidence to suggest ALA s protective action against the development of cancer.

Along with the other mixed carotenoids Lycopene, derived from tomatoes, is an effective antioxidant nutrient that has been researched as an anti-cancer agent and as a protector against the development of heart disease.

The disease-fighting potential of the flavonoids Quercetin and Grapeseeds PCO s stems from their ability to reduce inflammation, prevent the release of histamine (which causes allergy symptoms such as congestion), fight free radicals, boost immunity, strengthen blood vessels and improve blood flow. Quercetin and the PCO s may protect against heart disease and other circulatory disorders including stroke. These antioxidant nutrients have shown promise as anti-cancer compounds, particularly in lowering the risk of stomach, pancreatic, lung and possibly breast cancer. Quercetin also helps normalise blood sugar levels and block allergic processes to relieve hayfever, sinusitis and asthma.ANTIOXIDANT ACE may be a useful aid in the prevention of premature ageing, the development of cancer and help to lower the risk of coronary heart disease and diabetes.ANTIOXIDANT ACE can be taken on a daily basis to protect against free radical damage caused by pollutants, environmental and work toxins, stress and poor dietary habits. It is an essential for anyone exposed to UV rays, radioactivity, cigarette smoke and car fumes.

ANTIOXIDANT ACE may help to reduce the symptoms of inflammatory diseases such as sinusitis, hayfever, asthma and allergic skin conditions. It may also prove useful in the protection of the body against degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular heart disease and atherosclerosis.
