• Gamma Tocopherol—Increasing evidence indicates that one should use both the alpha-tocopherol and the gamma-tocopherol form of vitamin E. According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, alpha-tocopherol displaces critically important gamma-tocopherol in the cells. While alpha-tocopherol inhibits lipid peroxidation, gamma-tocopherol is needed to quench dangerous free radicals such as peroxynitrite.53
• Sesame lignans—Studies show that when sesame lignans are added to the diet of rats, a measurement of free radical activity is reduced by 82%.51,52,65 Sesame lignans augment the antioxidant effects of both alpha- and gamma-tocopherol. A human study showed that gamma-tocopherol plus sesame lignans was 25% more effective at suppressing measurements of free radical damage than gamma-tocopherol and tocotrienols.66-68
• Vitamin K2—A biologically active form of vitamin K2 known as menaquinone-7 has been added to provide improved vitamin K function. Menaquinone-7 is not metabolized quickly by the liver, so only small amounts are needed to activate osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein (MGP), vitamin K-dependent (VKD) proteins involved in bone metabolism and arterial health.69*
• Lycopene—People who ingest cooked tomato, rich in the carotenoid lycopene, enjoy healthier prostate function.*
• Lutein—Consumption of green vegetables such as collard greens and spinach provides the carotenoid lutein, which helps maintain healthy cell division, and is needed for optimal eye health.*
• Ginkgo—The most popular flavonoid supplement is Ginkgo biloba. Hundreds of studies substantiate its multi-faceted effects in the promotion of healthy circulatory and neurologic functions.*
• Chlorophyllin—The pigment chlorophyllin is vividly seen in green vegetables. Scientific studies indicate that chlorophyllin may be the most potent nutrient to protect against environmental DNA damage.
• Selenium—Works as an antioxidant, especially when combined with vitamin E, by scavenging damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. Many of the benefits of selenium are related to its role in the production of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. This enzyme is responsible for detoxification in the body. Numerous studies also suggest that selenium is necessary for proper immune function.* The FDA states that some scientific evidence suggests consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, the FDA has determined this evidence is limited and not conclusive. Different forms of selenium may provide diverse biological benefits.
