Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C provides valuable support to the immune system. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralises the effects of free radicals which can damage the cells in the human body. Vitamin C is involved in the production of endogenous collagen and controls the production of L- carnitine. It also plays an important role in the development of teeth, gums, muscles and bones, as well as in fat burning.
Since vitamin C helps iron absorption, it has a beneficial effect on the oxygen content in the blood. Vitamin C deficiency can occur through frequent and prolonged infections and colds. Its lack affects the good general condition and the working capacity. Because of its central role in the formation of connective tissue, vitamin C deficiency also has a negative effect on the structure and the health of the skin. Many people have increased need for vitamin C like smokers or athletes, as well as people who are exposed to daily stress. Food supplements can provide an adequate supply of vitamin C in these cases. Vitamin C reduces the urinary pH and thus helps to reduce bacteria in the urinary tract that are not acid resistant. Vitamin C is important for the biosynthesis and helps the detoxification process in the body. It is also involved in the metabolism of iron. Vitamin C also stimulates the production of noradrenaline and supports the conversion of fat into energy. This makes vitamin C an active fat burning food supplement.
Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate)
Vitamin E is best known as a fat-soluble “hunter of free radicals.” Just like vitamins A and C, it protects the body’s cells against aggressive oxygen compounds, and environmental toxins. Thus, vitamin E can delay premature aging and prevent cell damages which lead to illnesses and even degeneration of cells. Vitamin E, due to its antioxidant effect, reduces the feeling of stress. People lacking vitamin E are much more likely to suffer depression than those with normal levels. Vitamin E also plays an important role in the protein and fat metabolism. Since vitamin E has an anti-inflammatory effect, it can also help relieve rheumatic pains. In addition, vitamin E supports the cardiovascular system functions by reducing the “bad” cholesterol, thus having a positive effect on blood vessels. Second, it prevents the adhesion of red blood cells and thereby improves the blood circulation. Signs of vitamin E deficiency are skin problems, muscle weakness and a higher susceptibility to infections. Additional intake of vitamin E in the daily diet can be conveniently and easily achieved through supplements.
Selenium (sodium selenite)
Selenium is one of the most important trace elements that are necessary for the human organism. It is a cofactor in many enzymes which protect the cells from the toxic action of free radicals. This determines its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action. In recent years, the selenium deficiency is considered to be a possible etiologic factor in certain cardiovascular diseases because the free radicals destroy the cell membranes when the amount of selenium in the body is insufficient. Selenium reduces the risk of cancer, it contributes to the clearing of heavy metals from the body, including cadmium and arsenic, and it is a necessary supplement for smokers and residents in big cities. For men, selenium stimulates the sex hormones synthesis and it is required for the support of the normal sexual function. Moreover, selenium slows down the tissues aging, including the skin, by making it smoother and tighter. It is also important for the eye health and for the bones. For menopausal women selenium helps to relieve the attacks of hot and cold waves. The combined intake of selenium, vitamin E and pro-vitamin A /beta carotene/ mutually reinforces their effects.
Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D plays an important role in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood and in the bone structure. Vitamin D deficiency leads to rickets during the childhood, and to osteomalacia / osteoporosis in adults. Since the 1990s, vitamin D has been shown to function in various other ways and in different tissues, including cell differentiation, cell proliferation inhibition, apoptosis (cell death), immune modulation and control of other systems.
Pine Bark Extract (Pinus pinaster cortex extract)
Pine bark (Pinus pinaster cortex) extract contains a variety of compounds, including proanthocyanidins (PACs) and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), which are a type of flavonoids with strong antioxidant properties. Pine bark is an excellent source of vitamin C.
Pine bark extract is not only a powerful antioxidant capable of minimising and neutralising the harmful effects of free radicals, including its role in anti-aging but it is also an effective anti-inflammatory agent. Pine bark extract reduces inflammation by blocking the activity of inflammatory chemicals and enzymes. The studies showed that pine bark extract blocked enzymes called cyclooxyrgenase (COX), which lowered levels of inflammation and pain.
Pine bark extract improves the flexibility of blood vessel walls. It has a significant effect on nitric oxide levels in the body, which are responsible for vasodilation and improving blood flow.
This increased blood flow may help deliver more oxygen and nutrients to working muscles, potentially improving endurance and performance. Better blood flow can also help remove metabolic waste products from muscles more efficiently, potentially reducing muscle fatigue during exercise.
By promoting the production of nitric oxide pine bark extract may help to increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, which is essential to improve memory, concentration and optimal brain function.
In addition, increasing nitric oxide levels in the body is also an effective strategy for improving mild to moderate erectile dysfunction, low libido and high blood pressure.
Pine bark extract has an immunomodulatory effect. It stimulates the formation of immune cells and thus improves the body’s immune response.
Clinical trials have also shown that the antioxidants in pine bark protect skin against ultraviolet sunlight damage and the resulting pigmentation.
L-Carnosine (L-carnosine)
L- Carnosine is a dipeptide amino acid composed of two amino acids – histidine and beta-alanine.
L- Carnosine is an extremely important nutrient for the body, with a wide range of anti-aging effects. It has strong antioxidant properties and protects cells from oxidative stress.
