Wings Antioxidant Plus - Super OxyPhyte Capsules 450 mg

Super OxyPhyteT Antioxidant (Heart Blend Formula)

4000 ORAC Units per Capsule (ORAC standardizes the way we look at Antioxidants - see box below)

The Antioxidant Balance - Full Spectrum Complex
The human body utilizes a complex network of antioxidants. Scientists believe that we need to strike a balance between the damaging effects of free radicals and the protective effects of antioxidants. While you can't always eat right, exercise regularly or avoid all the toxins and pollutants you are exposed to every day, you can make a positive contribution to the cellular war against oxidative free radical damage by consuming a well-balanced diet and reinforcing it by comprehensive, high quality, full spectrum antioxidant supplements.

What is ORAC?
ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), developed by the USDA, has become the "Gold" standard as a method of measuring antioxidant capacity in dietary supplements. Single servings of fresh fruits and vegetables supply an average of 600-800 ORAC units. Scientists believe that increasing intake of foods that provide 2000-5000 units per day may be needed to increase serum and tissue antioxidant activity sufficiently to improve health outcomes. OxyPhyteT antioxidant products can provide additional ORAC units in a very concentrated form.

Free Radicals and Antioxidants
It is well known that damage by oxygen free radicals is behind many of the maladies that come with aging, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Diets high in antioxidants have the potential to protect our cells from this free radical damage.

Free radicals have been implicated in the development of at least 50 diseases. Over the past decade, researchers have demonstrated that free radicals contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, cell aging and cancer.

5 to 9 Servings
The amount of antioxidants included in one's diet appears to have a significant impact on quenching free radicals. Wings OxyPhyteT Antioxidant is a proprietary blend made from GRAS ingredients selected for their antioxidant activity and high ORAC value. OxyPhyteT Antioxidants are wholesome, food-based antioxidants - rather than a single isolated compound - offering the complete antioxidant benefits of fruits, vegetables and herbs in a custom formulation that boasts outstanding ORAC Value.

Scientists are now recommending that consumers (especially adults over age 40) get 5 - 9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables per day (or approximately 4000 - 7000 ORAC units). The average adult diet supplies about 2000 ORAC units per day. Food values based on the ORAC standard will allow the consumer to readily understand their own antioxidant intake based on their current diet and adjust for the difference with an antioxidant supplement.

Each 450 mg capsule contains 4000 ORAC Units - the antioxidant equivalent to 5 servings of fruits and vegetables - and the Plus is that it provides the polyphenol content equal to 1 glass of red wine.


The Ingredients - Putting the power of OxyPhyteT to work for you

Green Tea
Green Tea Catechins help destroy harmful intestinal bacteria. In addition, the numerous benefits for disease prevention and anti-aging are far reaching and include anti-cancer activity and protection of the cardiovascular system, the brain and the kidneys. They affect every aspect of our physiology including cataracts and macular degeneration.

Green Tea has shown to lower LDL cholesterol and serum triglycerides. In addition, unlike other LDL-lowering agents, green tea also elevates levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), the "good" cholesterol that helps remove atherosclerotic plaque from arterial walls. Catechins have been found to outperform Vitamin C, and beta-carotene ten times in scavenging the alkyl peroxyl radical. One study has shown Green Tea polyphenols to be more potent antioxidants than Vitamin C, Vitamin E and even curcumin in some systems.

Rosemary
The natural polyphenols such as carnosic acid found in rosemary are potent antioxidants and are known to offer significant protection against DNA damage.

Red Wine Polyphenols - whole purple grape & seed extract
Plant polyphenols constitute one of the largest groups of plant nutrients. They are present in nearly all the plant kingdom where they play an essential role for growth and reproduction.

Polyphenols are important constituents of red wine and appear to be directly implicated in the health benefits of wine. Reported to act as free-radical scavengers and antioxidants, these compounds are also believed to protect cholesterol in the Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) species from oxidation. LDL oxidation (atherogenesis) accounts for many fatal heart attacks.

The clinical benefits of moderate consumption of wine do not stop at heart protection. The potential clinical benefits of red wine are associated with Heart problems, Heart Protection - Digestive Aid - Cancer Prevention - Age Related Impairment Reduction.

The red wine process is characterized by a long maceration of the total grape, especially the skin and seeds, which are rich in polyphenols.

Our Red Wine Extracts are produced only by physical means; no solvents are used in their production.

High Powered Fruits - Apple / Pomegranate / Elderberry
The major health benefits from fruits and vegetables are due to their tens of thousands of phytochemicals - naturally occurring biochemicals that give plants their colour, flavour, smell, and texture. These phytochemicals may help prevent diseases that are responsible for over 60% of all deaths annually in the United States. At the molecular level, the preventative qualities of the compounds are largely due to their antioxidant activity - their ability to quench free radicals.

OxyPhyteTM Fruit Blend combines the strength of two powerful fruit extracts - Apple and Pomegranate. Both fruits have unique combinations of phytochemicals and exhibit very high antioxidant activity. Preliminary studies suggest that pomegranate juice may contain almost three times the total antioxidant ability compared with the same quantity of green tea or red wine. Apples actually exhibit higher antioxidant activity than oranges, grapefruit, carrots, spinach, onions and green peppers.

Elderberry stimulates immune system health. Our Elderberry is a uniquely concentrated extract providing enhanced levels of anthocyanins, the specialized group of flavonoids responsible for elderberry's immune system support. Elderberry is a rich source of flavonoids, particularly quercetin. Studies have shown that the antioxidant properties of anthocyanins found in elderberry extract maintain healthy immune function and promote the strength and integrity of vascular walls.


OxyPhyteTM Fruit Blend and Heart Disease
Pomegranate and apple are particularly good for heart health. Apple juice contains significant levels of polyphenols (including those from the peel). Recent studies on human subjects at the University of California, Davis, demonstrated that apple constituents reduce oxidative susceptibility of LDL cholesterol in healthy men and women. These results further suggest that the phenolic compounds present in apples may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Research has also shown pomegranate juice consumption to have potent antiatherogenic effects in healthy humans and in atherosclerotic mice. In addition, pomegranate juice has been shown to inhibit serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). ACE inhibitors prevent certain enzymes in the body from constricting blood vessels. This helps to lower blood pressure and makes the heart beat stronger.


OxyPhyteTM Fruit Blend and Cancer
In addition to high levels of free radical-fighting polyphenols and other antioxidants, OxyPhyteTM Fruit Blend contains Ellagic acid and quercetin. Ellagic acid, found in high concentrations in pomegranate, is known to inhibit certain carcinogen-induced cancers and may have other chemo preventative properties. Clinical tests conducted at the Hollings Cancer Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) show that Ellagic acid may inhibit the growth of cervical cancer cells and arrest the growth of cancer. Additional research reveals similar results for breast, colon, and prostate cancer cells. Quercetin, a major flavonoids compound found in apples, has been reported to decrease the growth of pancreatic tumor growth, and prostate cancer cells.
