Antioxidants
Defend your body at the cellular level and protect your good health for a lifetime
Our cells produce thousands of free radicals
every day. Free radicals from the environment
occur as an effect of stress, pollution and
unhealthy eating habits. Oxidation is a
damaging but essential process that our
bodies create to generate energy. Without
proper nutrition, oxidation can contribute to
any number of debilitating diseases, including
cancer, heart disease and aging. Fortunately,
it’s relatively easy to defend our bodies
against these scavengers, with the super
power of antioxidants.
So what are antioxidants?
Antioxidants are chemical compounds that
neutralize the effects of oxidation. The best-known antioxidants are
vitamins A, C and E, and the mineral selenium. Often referred to as ACES,
these antioxidants cannot be made by the body and must be ingested.
Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix,
Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex and
Schizandra Plus are superb sources of
vitamins A, C, E and selenium. And don’t forget to use Radiant C
Daily Skin Booster,
which is rich in vitamin C to defend your youthful look.
A variety of colors for better protection
Food is another important source of antioxidants. Fruits and vegetables are
the best sources, and their variety of color often reflects different antioxidants.
The culinary herb rosemary is among the most powerful. In fact, rosemary
twigs are often added to olive oil to prevent oxidation of the oil. In our
bodies, rosemary has a cascading affect, or the ability to regenerate itself to
exert greater antioxidant power than most available substances.
RoseOx
combines the antioxidant power of a patented rosemary extract with a
cruciferous vegetable extract, which provides some of the same benefits
you would receive from consuming cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts
and much more.
Berries target heart health and skin
Cranberry extract contains
proanthocyanidins, a prophylactic
agent that protects against
urinary-tract infections by
shielding the bladder wall against
the growth of bacteria. In a recent study,
cranberry was found to contain the
highest total content of phenols, major
bioactive compounds that produce
health benefits, and even protect the
heart and skin. Cranberry and its related
berries, bilberry and blueberry, exert potent antioxidant activity.
Triple Berry Complex
combines the antioxidant power of these berries to promote the
health of the urinary tract, and further adds to the antioxidant protection of
Herbalife’s superior nutritional program.*
Pycnogenol is a super-antioxidant
Herbalife’s newest product for malesexual enhancement,
Prelox Blue,
is a remarkable patent-pending formula that
contains the antioxidant Pycnogenol–
a standardized extract from the French
maritime pine bark.* Prelox™ Blue has
important physiologic benefits, including
the ability to protect against oxidative
stress, neutralize free radicals and help
regenerate the antioxidant benefits of
vitamins C and E.* In addition to its
antioxidant properties, Pycnogenol
helps protect the arteries.*
Antioxidant protection for the entire body

and meal plan. The sheer power, variety
and quality of Herbalife antioxidants,
when combined with healthy eating
