ANTIOXIDANTS

The human body needs antioxidants to protect its cells. The protective function serves as a defense against harmful free radicals. On the one hand, these arise naturally in the regular metabolism due to burning sugar and fat by inhaled atmospheric oxygen. On the other hand, free radicals' attacks come from the environment and the surrounding air. The antioxidants as protection against aging became known.

A large number of heterogeneous substances can be found in the large micronutrient group of antioxidants:

·        Endogenous (endogenous) antioxidants

·        exogenous (ingested) antioxidants

·        catalytic antioxidants

THE BODY'S ANTIOXIDANTS

To survive, we need to burn off the calories we eat in sugar, protein, and fat. Oxygen, created in the air we breathe, is required for combustion. That's why we live. The inhaled oxygen gets through the lungs into the bloodstream and is transported to the body cells. This is where the actual fire takes place. Combustion is oxidation! As with any incineration, waste materials are generated and detoxified. Evolution has equipped us with the body's antioxidants right from the start. Without this, life would be impossible: glutathione represents the universal protection target.

Every cell in the body synthesizes glutathione. It is used for the antioxidation and detoxification of many pollutants, especially in the liver. The starting substance is a sulfur-containing amino acid called cysteine ​​(acetylcysteine), converted with vitamins B2 / B3 / B6. The selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase and transferase, which - as the name suggests - requires selenium, then serves to detoxify. In my opinion, acetylcysteine ​​is an optimal source of sulfur intake.

Other antioxidants produced by the body are uric acid and melatonin. Anyone who has ever had an attack of gout knows that uric acid is not just an imaginary laboratory test; it can hurt. Anyone who eats and drinks too many antioxidants needs an extra portion of endogenous antioxidants! Our body can react with an increase in uric acid to the oxidative stress of too much food, which also has to be burned (oxidized), and tries to keep this oxidative stress low. The pain also has an educational effect.

EXOGENOUS ANTIOXIDANTS

Fruits and fruits also have to protect themselves from the air's radicals. The antioxidants are found in their shell. We can use it and eat fruits and vegetables with the peel if possible. We then benefit from

·        Coenzyme Q10

·        Coenzyme Q10 vegan

·        vitamin C

·        Beta carotene (precursor of vitamin A )

·        Vitamin E.

·        Secondary plant substances ( OPC complete )

Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin C are underlined because their cell protection effect cannot be emphasized enough. The health effects of vegan coenzyme Q10 and non-vegan coenzyme Q10 are equally sound.

ANTIOXIDANTS IN BIOCATALYSTS

Selenium is particularly noteworthy, followed by zinc, copper, and manganese. These trace elements fulfill their function as active centers and cofactors in enzymes. Enzymes are biocatalysts that are specialized in allowing specific reactions to take place.

Like doing the dishes at home: you act as a biocatalyst to remove dirt from the words you have used and are then available again. This is precisely how biot catalysts free the organism from free radicals. These catalysts are called

·        Superoxide dismutase

·        Glutathione peroxidase

·        Catalase

Just as you need a pan cleaner to clean the dishes, our antioxidant systems also require cofactors like zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium. Without these trace elements, which form the active center, antioxidation does not work.

OXIDATIVE STRESS

If more oxidative waste products are produced in the metabolism, they can be broken down. It leads to excess harmful radicals: aging processes are promoted, and diseases occur. First, the cells' power plants can be damaged - the mitochondria. Loss of energy and fatigue is the immediate result. Many people describe an increased burning sensation in the mouth and throat's mucous membrane, especially in good ozone-rich weather or after exercise. In autoimmune diseases and nerve diseases, oxidative stress is also discussed as a cause or consequence.

OPTIMAL CARE

In general, fresh fruit and vegetables and whole-grain products are considered healthy. It is especially true about the important micronutrient group of antioxidants. In addition to the freshness, one should also note the excellent quality.

PREVENTION AND THERAPY WITH FOOD SUPPLEMENTS

Antioxidants work best when combined. Therefore, the focus is on prevention and therapy.

·        VIT 4 ALL

For symptoms of oxidative stress, I would recommend the following:

·        Vitamin C, one capsule per day, is a water-soluble antioxidant

·        Coenzyme Q10, one tablet per day, is a fat-soluble antioxidant

·        Metabolism Detox, one capsule per day, to support the glutathione system
