Oxidation refers to the combustion of life’s essential oxygen within the human body and produces by-products called oxygen-free radicals. Free radicals are not only produced inside our bodies, but are also taken in through long exposure to the sun, water and air pollution, smoking, eating certain foods, x-rays, and a variety of other toxins in the environment. Moreover, cellular damage can also be the result of pollutants like automobile exhaust and nitrogen oxides, industrial chemicals and even recreational drugs.
The free radical theory of aging assumes that antioxidant defenses occurring naturally are not 100%. Damages caused by oxidation accumulate throughout a person’s life. The cellular repair machinery becomes so impaired that it can no longer keep up with the rate of cellular erosion which gradually changes the normal processes of our organs.
Idebenone-epf 95
Free radicals attack our skin nonstop. The stress these radicals bring dramatically and prematurely ages the skin. Now, that can be the least of your worries. Halt aging, look younger with this new approach against aging, the Idebenone-epf 95, a super antioxidant, skin smoother and brightener inone. It works like the super antioxidant Co-Enzyme Q10 and the depigmenting agent hydroquinone, but it’s a lot more than either.
Through Idebenone-epf 95, the skin is shielded from constant attack of free radicals, thus causing the skin to get out of sensitive mode, that it becomes its best – smoother and more even. The ability of the skin to protect and restore itself is further intensified. As a result, lines and other signs of aging disappear, making the skin feel and look younger. Another good news is that Idebenone does not cause any irritation that can be expected of other active ingredients such as hydroxyl acids, and retinoids. One does not have to worry about any other sun or environmental vulnerability. It is very gentle for almost every skin type. It also helps relax the skin as much as it helps in reducing visible signs of aging and preventing them as well.
GLUTATHIONE - THE ANTI-AGING ANTIOXIDANT
No single food or supplement can meet the oxidant stress associated with today’s life. Antioxidants are the body’s initial resource for protection against the diverse free radical and other oxidative stressors. The antioxidant defense system is sophisticated and adaptive, and GSH (tripeptide thiol glutathione) helps protect against exogenous oxidative insults.
Glutathione is a tripeptide of three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine, and glycine and represents the most prevalent antioxidant in the human body. It is a protein which is naturally produced in the body and has three essential crucial protective functions: as an antioxidant, immune system booster, and a detoxifier. As an anti-aging protein, it aids in the breakdown of oxidized fats, as it is very much required for carbohydrate metabolism. It is anti-wrinkles, removes dark spots, whitens the skin, prevents/removes pimples and pimple marks, nourishes skin, making it skin smooth, fresh and radiant.
Every cell in the body is responsible for its own supply of glutathione and must have the necessary raw materials to make it. High glutathione levels boost the body’s ability to fight off toxins as well as infectious disease, and help battle the aging process. Keep in mind that it is quickly consumed when we experience any sort of pressure such as fatigue, stress, and illness. Also, our glutathione levels decrease as we age. So, how can we increase, and maintain, the level of glutathione in our body? There are various nutritional supplements that use an excellent combination of nutrients to promote glutathione renewal. Remember that when taking glutathione, you should also take Vitamin C two to three times more than the dose of glutathione to keep glutathione in its absorbable or reduced form. Keeping up your glutathione levels can help you look younger than you really are minus the wrinkles.
