Antioxidants – protection against oxidative stress

So-called free radicals are formed in the human body during normal metabolic processes.

External influences such as UV radiation, smoking and environmental pollution can also contribute to the formation of reactive oxygen compounds.

If their formation exceeds the body's own protective mechanisms, this is referred to as oxidative stress.

Antioxidant vitamins and trace elements support the normal protective mechanisms of the cells.

Vitamin C and vitamin E – antioxidant vitamins

Vitamin C and vitamin E contribute to protecting cells against oxidative stress.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that also supports the normal function of the immune system and collagen formation.

Vitamin E is fat-soluble and plays an important role, particularly in protecting cell membranes against oxidative changes.

Zinc and selenium – important trace elements

Zinc and selenium are essential trace elements that are involved in numerous enzymatic processes.

Both contribute to the protection of cells against oxidative stress and to the normal function of the immune system.

Zinc additionally supports the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.

Milk thistle extract with silymarin

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries.

Its fruits contain the characteristic plant compound complex silymarin, which consists mainly of various flavonolignans.

Silymarin is scientifically investigated particularly in connection with liver metabolism and antioxidant processes.

However, a proven improvement in liver or gallbladder function through the intake of this dietary supplement has not been demonstrated.

Carotenoids – secondary plant substances

Carotenoids are natural plant pigments found, among other things, in carrots, tomatoes, peppers and green leafy vegetables.

They belong to the secondary plant substances and fulfil various protective functions in plants.

The AntiOxidant Formula contains selected carotenoids as a complement to the micronutrient combination.

AntiOxidant Formula in tested quality

Pure Encapsulations® AntiOxidant Formula combines vitamins, trace elements and plant extracts in a carefully developed formulation.

The preparation is suitable for the targeted supplementation of a balanced diet, particularly in cases of insufficient intake of certain antioxidant micronutrients.

Important notes

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of the reach of small children and store in a cool, dry place.

In case of allergies to plants of the Asteraceae family, a hypersensitivity to milk thistle may also exist.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as in cases of existing liver disease or regular medication use, the use should be clarified with a doctor in advance.
