Nutritional Health Supplements -
Slow Down The Aging Process!

Research has proven that nutritional health supplements can slow down your body's aging process. Nutritional health supplements, which contain powerful antioxidants, actually promote brain cell function and sustain energy levels. They accomplish this by reducing the level of free radicals that are formed in the body when oxygen is metabolized or burned. This helps the body maintain optimum metabolic activity and increase energy potential.

As we age, toxic oxidants accumulate in the body, causing cellular damage to the mitochondrial DNA, lipids and proteins. The health of the mitochondria - the organelles within the cell that convert amino acids, fatty acids and sugars into energy- is directly linked to your body’s aging. Nutritional health supplements, high in antioxidants and natural micronutrients, can help protect cellular tissues, thereby slowing down the affects of aging.

How does this work?

Through recent research, it has become evident that an important factor in aging is the decay of the mitochondria. Research has illustrated that as we age, the efficiency of the mitochondria diminishes, as does their quantity per cell. The effect is a body operating at one-half to one-fourth the energy it had at youth. Deficient energy in the brain and central nervous system affects the activities of all organs throughout the body as well as mental acuity and mood.

Nutritional health supplements, that contain a combination of natural, energy-boosting components such as acetyl L-carnitine with powerful antioxidants like alpha lipoic acid, stimulate the synthesis of cardiolipin. Cardiolipin is a key component of the mitochondria. It helps to activate the transport of high-energy food-derived products into the mitochondria. This captured energy is used to run the cellular machinery for such activities as muscle contraction and neurotransmission. Cardiolipin is required, along with specific transport enzymes, to maintain the potential and overall integrity of the mitochondrial membrane.

Nutritional health supplements also facilitate the entry of fuel (starches and fatty acids) into the mitochondria and stimulate production of natural antioxidants that protect the cell from age-associated increases in tissue-damaging oxidants.

Increase metabolism and your lifespan.

Supplements not only increase your metabolism but may also increase your lifespan. New studies suggest that most of us need to add more supplements to our diet. This research seems to imply that we may not be getting all the micronutrients including vitamins, minerals and other biochemicals that we had previously thought was adequate. Chronic metabolic damage, due to lack of these nutrients, may occur at levels much higher than previously determined. This could result in DNA damage, cancer, and cognitive dysfunction in addition to accelerating the effects of aging.
