16 of the most potent PRIMARY and SECONDARY antioxidants known to science, for both mind and body.

PRIMARY and SECONDARY anti-oxidants:

Did you know that there are TWO types of anti-oxidants?

PRIMARY are the endogenous kind your body produces naturally to fight the most abundant Superoxide radical (hence "S" ORAC... unless it says S-ORAC it is not a PRIMARY antioxidant). Because these are what your body naturally produces they stay active in your system for more than 24 hours constantly fighting free radicals. They include SuperOxide Dismutase, glutathione and catalase.

SECONDARY are the exogenous kind your body gets from food (Vitamins A,C,E, polyphenols, juices etc. and measured on the ORAC* scale). These are short lived as they are neutralized in a 1:1 relationship with free radical molecules. You need a never-ending supply of them just to keep up the fight.

PROTECT is a unique blend of BOTH primary AND secondary antioxidant power dynamically compressed into a delicious biomimetic concentrate.

PROTECT contains EXTRAMEL, a unique food source of the key PRIMARY anti-oxidants, SuperOxide Dismutase, glutathione, and catalase from a special non-GMO variety of melon that naturally resists decay and oxidation far longer than any other kind of fruit on the planet. EXTRAMEL is a primary antioxidant with a naturally occurring and guaranteed level of SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) per gram. EXTRAMEL Microgranules are concentrated melon juice obtained without chemical solvents microencapsulated in a vegetable coating. EXTRAMEL microgranules are guaranteed for their Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) content providing vital PRIMARY anti-oxidant support. The microgranules also contain other ingredients which compose the antioxidant cocktail naturally found in the melon's pulp (catalase, glutathione, vitamins, carotenoids, selenium, etc). The story began ten years ago with the discovery of interesting decay-resistant properties of certain melon varieties (extramel variety) obtained through classical variety crossing (that means non-GMO): a fruit lasted 10-15 days - 3 times longer than the classical variety. Extensive research demonstrated a potent cocktail of specific antioxidants that contributed to this longer lifespan. The whole process from extraction to microencapsulation is patented.

We then combine it with Red Wine RESVERATROL in a concentrated base of dynamically compressed fruit extracts known for their anti-oxidant benefits. RESVERATROL and 11,000:1 red wine extract provide the heart-health benefits of red wine without the alcohol. Worldwide research shows that the components of red wine support the cardiovascular system, provide antioxidant protection, promote cholesterol wellness and balance the immune system - thought to be the major factor in the so-called French Paradox in which the French incidence of heart disease is low despite a diet high in saturated fats.

ACAI BERRY is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Acai contains a remarkable concentration of anti-oxidants that help combat premature aging. Called the Super Food #1 by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, the high-energy Acai (ah-sigh-ee) berry grows on a special Amazon palm tree in Brazil. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

GOJI BERRIES grow in remote areas of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and China, and are known to maintain a healthy immune system, blood pressure and blood sugar. Goji have been traditionally regarded as a longevity, strength building, and sexual potency food.

POMEGRANATES are rich with antioxidants and have thrived for centuries as the fruit of choice for kings and nobles. The pomegranate has recently been acclaimed for its health benefits, in particular, for its disease-fighting antioxidant potential and support of cardiovascular health.

*ORAC - Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. The ability of an anti-oxidant to neutralize free radicals.
