OPC Q10
* Oxidants: The reactive oxygen species produced in cells include hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hypochlorous acid (HClO), and free radicals such as the hydroxyl radical (·OH) and the superoxide anion (O2-) The hydroxyl radical is particularly unstable and will react rapidly and non-specifically with most biological molecules. This species is produced from hydrogen peroxide in metal-catalyzed redox reactions such as the Fenton reaction. These oxidants can damage cells by starting chemical chain reactions such as lipid peroxidation, or by oxidizing DNA or proteins. Damage to DNA can cause mutations and possibly cancer, if not reversed by DNA repair mechanisms, while damage to proteins causes enzyme inhibition, denaturation and protein degradation. Oxidative stress is thought to contribute to the development of a wide range of diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, the pathologies caused by diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegeneration in motor neuron diseases. neurodegenerative disease might result from defective axonal transport of mitochondria, which carry out oxidation reactions. low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation appears to trigger the process of atherogenesis, which results in atherosclerosis, and finally cardiovascular disease. The brain is uniquely vulnerable to oxidative injury, due to its high metabolic rate and elevated levels of polyunsaturated lipids, the target of lipid peroxidation. Consequently, antioxidants are commonly used as medications to treat various forms of brain injury. It is thought that oxidation of low density lipoprotein in the blood contributes to heart disease.
* Antioxidant: An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. Organisms contain a complex network of antioxidant metabolites and enzymes that work together to prevent oxidative damage to cellular components such as DNA, proteins and lipids. In general, antioxidant systems either prevent these reactive species from being formed, or remove them before they can damage vital components of the cell. Antioxidants can cancel out the cell-damaging effects of free radicals. people who take good sources of antioxidants have a lower risk of heart disease, some neurological diseases and a number of cancers. Antioxidants might help prevent these conditions. There is some evidence that antioxidants might help prevent diseases such as macular degeneration, suppressed immunity, and neurodegeneration.
* OPC Q10 is a potent antioxidants formula to help prevent and cure degenerative diseases.
Some ingredient of OPC Q10 are :
Maritime Pine Bark Extract : powerful antioxidants, approximately 50 times more potent than Vitamin C or E.
Coenzyme Q10: is involved in the making of an important molecule known as ATP. CoQ10 works as a potent antioxidant.
Grape seed extract: Antioxidants found in grape seeds can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
Green tea extract: a powerful antioxidant, may play an important role in the prevention of cancer. Polyphenols in green tea help kill cancerous cells and stop their progression. Studies have found that green tea extracts prevent the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Slippery elm extract(Ulmus fulva):one of four herbs included in a popular therapy that is promoted for cancer treatment
Artichoke extract(Cyanara scolymus):a blood purifier through increasing bile production.
Red clover extract(Trifolium pratense): a strong canecr fighter included in many detoxifing formula
Burdock extract(Arctium lappa): a blood purifier clearing the bloodstream of some toxins, and as a topical remedy for skin problems such as acne, eczema, rosacea and psoriasis
Raspberry extract(Rubus strigosus):Due to their rich contents of antioxidant vitamin C and the polyphenols , raspberries have an ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) of about 4900. Anti-disease properties have been isolated : inflammation, pain, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, allergies, age-related cognitive decline, degeneration of eyes.
Black currant extract(Ribes nigrum): has an extraordinarily high vitamin C ,potassium and antioxidants (polyphenols/anthocyanins). have been demonstrated to possess the potential to inhibit inflammation mechanisms, which may lower the risk of developing various types of degenerative diseases (e.g. heart disease, cancer). provide effective protection against degrading neurological functions, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
OPC Q10 is designed to help prevent or cure following health problems: Cancer, Heart Disease, Blood pressure, Atherosclerosis, High Cholesterol, Diabetes, Immune, Memory, Alzheimer’s disease, Performance, Muscular dystrophy, Eye, Vision, Concentration, Blood vessel, Asthma and allergies, inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Liver disease, fertility.
Usage: Take 1 capsule 1 time per day.
