It’s a long known fact that antioxidants are believed to help prevent and repair oxidative stress, a process that damages cells within the body and has been linked to the development of certain forms of cancer (bladder, prostate, thyroid), heart disease, and Alzheimer’s.

A diet strong in antioxidant rich foods, along with the help of nutritional supplements, is the healthiest route to take to ensure proper consumption. Daily supplements of Vitamin C, E, Co-Q10, and selenium, for example, may beneficially effect sugar and fat metabolism, and boost heart health by increasing the flexibility of arteries for one thing. A new study published in Nutrition & Metabolism journal suggests that people with multiple cardiovascular risk factors significantly improved the elasticity of arteries by supplementing with these antioxidants.

Boosting your diet with antioxidant-rich foods, in addition to supplementation, is pretty easy to do too. Research has shown that three of the top five antioxidant-rich foods are beans! Beans, artichokes and Russet potatoes are among the top vegetables; cranberries, blueberries and blackberries are ranked among the top fruit; and pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts are ranked as the top nuts based on their total antioxidant capacity per serving size.

Selenium is one important antioxidant that can protect cells against damage from free radicals, and has been found necessary for several important biological processes including immune response. Selenium is an essential mineral the body is dependent on yet cannot produce on its own. The NutraSense Company carries a top quality organic selenium manufactured by a leader in this industry, Embria Health Sciences. SelenoSense™, made with eXselen, a highly bioavailable organic selenium that guarantees consistently high levels of selenomethionine - the preferred form for efficient absorption by the body. Some forms of antioxidants cannot be absorbed as well as others. SelenoSense™ is made for optimal bioavailability since the raw material, eXselen, is an all natural, organic selenomethionine which rapidly metabolizes within the body to yield high retention. It’s also backed by 15 years of scientific research.

Co-Q10 and Resveratrol are also popular antioxidant supplements and have had their share of positive publicity lately. The NutraSense Company proudly carries both of these as well.
