FAQs
Q. NUDEFENSE is an antioxidant formula. What exactly is an antioxidant?
A. First we need to understand what free radicals are and what they do to the body to fully understand and appreciate an antioxidant. Oxidation creates free radicals which are bad for our health in many ways. A good illustrative example of the harmful effects of oxidation is rusting. When metal rusts it becomes weak and flaky, it starts to degenerate or decay until it no longer performs its functions well. Eventually the metal "fatigues" and "fails". THIS EXACT SAME PROCESS HAPPENS IN OUR BODY! Just like in rusting, the cells, organs, and other parts of our body can be made weak by oxidation. This can lead to diseases like cancer, heart disease, cataracts and macular degeneration, osteoarthritis, senile dementia and other neurological diseases, and even skin aging and wrinkling! Antioxidants work to reduce the energy of the free radical, to stop it from forming, or to interrupt an oxidizing reaction, thus minimizing the free radical's damaging effects.
Q. I take some antioxidants separately now, like Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Do I really need to take DEFENSE?
A. Yes. Antioxidants have to fight many different free radicals in many different tissue types. Research now supports taking a combination of antioxidants as being a more effective strategy in protecting the entire body from the many different free radicals and the types formed in the different tissues of the body. Antioxidants rely on each other to help fight their free radicals, so it is best to take a variety of them. That’s the reason for eating many different fruits and vegetables is to get a variety of antioxidants to promote good health.
