Most people would rather eat the foods that contain the substance that they need than take a pill. i agree 100%. my knowledge of what you speak about is almost nil. the site i posted is not pills. just sharing a really great product, nothing more, nothing less.... Foods is what I am aiming for. Older People spend 100's of dollars a month on pill sprays etc for their heath, they still don't know how to eat and why they should eat differently. The point of this thread is to discuss the problem before it becomes a problem. I would rather spend my money on foods that will keep me from the Dr's office.. ^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^ Great info so far op, thank you |

Why? because it is not being taught or done in school, or at home.... Antioxidants are natural compounds that help protect the body from harmful free radicals, which are atoms or groups of atoms that can cause damage to cells, impairing the immune system, which leads to more serious problems with in the body. I am going to go through the most common ways in which ya'll can get antioxidants into your body. The first is Alpha-Lipoic Acid called ALA, a powerful antioxidant, both on its own and as a "recycler" of vitamin E and vitamin C. ALA can restore the antioxidant properties of these vitamins after A and C have neutralized free radicals. ALA help the body to produce glutathione and helps in the absorption of co enzyme Q10. ALA has been used in Europe to treat peripheral nerve degeneration and it helps control blood sugar levels. It detox's the liver of metal pollutants, block cataract formation reduces cholesterol levels and protects nerve tissues against oxidative stress. ALA is a metabolic antioxidant, because the cells cannot use sugar to produce energy. Our body does not produce large amounts of ALA, it is found in spinach broccoli collards, kale, nutritional yeast. Before I go on to the next antioxidant I will talk about Vitamin A and C Q10 and glutathione.... Thank you!!! |

There are NO side effects!! Lots of information. It is a better absorbed MSM. My mother began taking it for fibromyalgia and has felt wonderful ever since (she is 70) Sorry I don't know how to highlight your question, so hope you see this. |

The anti-inflammatory properties of antioxidants are a joke. Antioxidants do not eat away at exogenous proteins. You are much better off consuming proteolytic enzymes aka systemic enzymes. These will help clean the blood, fight viruses/bacteria, eat fibrosis and provide anti inflammatory action. Yes you do need them in the body, but the health industry is just as bad as the pharma industry in the fads they push. Don't be a sucker. |

User ID: 35614005 United States 03/05/2013 04:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I need to find some of those spray vitamins in Canada. Vitamins in pill forms often upset my stomach, causing nausea. A few "multi-vitamins" have caused vomiting on occasion. Quoting: Stiddles besides the fact that you are getting maybe 10% absorbtion at best. just go here and get what ever you want. i get mine in the mail every month and this months came yesterday. [link to www.vitamist.com] What is the absorbtion of the sprays compared to the pills? Have you noticed a difference? The sprays seem small for their price, how long do they last? one tube is a thirty day supply.. two spays, four times a day because your body 'flushes' every few hours and this way you have a steady stream of nutrients all day long. sprays are 90 to 95 percent absorbed compared to about 10 percent with pills, which is a waste of your dough AND hard on your digestive system cause it has to break down all those pills. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

Antioxidants can even help protect against the damage done by exposure to excessive radiofrequency radiation/EMFs, such as you can get from being on a cell phone for hours at a time, or sleeping on the other side of the wall from a "smart" meter.

Quoting: Half Past Midnight [link to www.amazon.com] I wonder if ALA would work for me or if I would just be wasting more money??? Great thread BTW. ALA or Alpha-Lipoic Acid recycles Vitamin E and Vitamin C It can restore the antioxidant properties. It neutralized free radicals. It aids in the absorption of coenzyme Q10,. ALA is soluble in both water and fat, it can move into all parts of cell to deactivate free radicals. It plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it is known also as a metabolic antioxidant, with out it cells cannot use sugar to produce energy. The body does not produce large amounts of ALA the few foods to eat are spinach, broccoli, yeast, collardgreen, and kale. Last Edited by NZREva on 03/06/2013 02:51 PM |

In the diet, antioxidants are especially found in fresh fruits and vegetables, and are most commonly found in berries. Many studies show that purple berries have the highest amount of antioxidants. The highest in antioxidants, Black berries dark red raspberries, blue berries dark red cherries. Among vegetables red cabbage red onion eggplant. I was once told By Dr ..in mathematics that you can have the right answer without knowing the right question. So as we look into the benefits of foods and how they prevent problems later in our life consider the above, we need a whole lot of data to know the question, but the answer is right, eating a plant based diet in a raw state helps you no matter what is wrong. Though studies are inconclusive about if these antioxidants get into the blood stream, the benefits themselves tell us that people who eat them have many benefits.......

Anonymous Coward User ID: 19213731 United States 03/06/2013 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And don't forget, the US Government holds the patent on cannabinoids as antioxidants: [link to www.google.com] Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 30326629 Canada 03/06/2013 02:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The neuroprotective actions of cannabidiol and other cannabinoids were examined in rat cortical neuron cultures exposed to toxic levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. Glutamate toxicity was reduced by both cannabidiol, a nonpsychoactive constituent of marijuana, and the psychotropic cannabinoid (−)Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Cannabinoids protected equally well against neurotoxicity mediated by N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors, 2-amino-3-(4-butyl-3-hydroxyisoxazol-5-yl)propionic acid receptors, or kainate receptors. N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor-induced toxicity has been shown to be calcium dependent; this study demonstrates that 2-amino-3-(4-butyl-3-hydroxyisoxazol-5-yl)propionic acid/kainate receptor-type neurotoxicity is also calcium-dependent, partly mediated by voltage sensitive calcium channels. The neuroprotection observed with cannabidiol and THC was unaffected by cannabinoid receptor antagonist, indicating it to be cannabinoid receptor independent. Previous studies have shown that glutamate toxicity may be prevented by antioxidants. Cannabidiol, THC and several synthetic cannabinoids all were demonstrated to be antioxidants by cyclic voltametry. Cannabidiol and THC also were shown to prevent hydroperoxide-induced oxidative damage as well as or better than other antioxidants in a chemical (Fenton reaction) system and neuronal cultures. Cannabidiol was more protective against glutamate neurotoxicity than either ascorbate or α-tocopherol, indicating it to be a potent antioxidant. These data also suggest that the naturally occurring, nonpsychotropic cannabinoid, cannabidiol, may be a potentially useful therapeutic agent for the treatment of oxidative neurological disorders such as cerebral ischemia." decent chart of antioxidants with their chemical molecular names [link to factualworld.com] |
