The term "Anti-aging" has recently become one of the most popular "buzz-words" in all of
medicine today. There is even a certification and specialization in age-management medicine
for physicians interested in assisting their patients in preventing premature disability
and death, while focusing on optimal health and vigor. Enter the Baby Boomer generation …
individuals born between 1946-1964, 76 million strong, determined to embrace life and
beyond. All Baby Boomers have one thing in common; they want to look good and stay healthy.
Signs and symptoms of aging such as wrinkles, sunspots, memory changes and fractured
hips are not part of their long-range health plans.
Healthy aging is possible for all of us. Read further for straightforward information on
what you can do today to delay the indicators of aging, look good and stay healthy.

How do antioxidants slow down the aging process? The answer is simple; antioxidants
fight free radicals. Okay, the explanation of how antioxidants slow down the aging
process is a little more complex. Let's start with an explanation of free radicals. Free
radicals are oxygen fragments that can be formed by exposure to radiation (even sun rays),
toxic chemicals (found in cigarette smoke, polluted air, and industrial/household chemicals),
as well as various metabolic processes like the breaking down of stored fat molecules for
energy. These oxygen fragments contribute to oxidation, a process where molecules are split
resulting in products that have unpaired electrons. Overall, causing damage to cells within
the body, hampering the immune system and leading to infections, as well as many degenerative
diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer and the aging process itself.
What are antioxidants? Antioxidants are a group of vitamins, minerals and enzymes that help
protect the body by neutralizing free radicals and are found in dark green, leafy vegetables
such as spinach and kale, as well as the supplementation of Vitamins C & E, and carotenoids
(including beta-carotenes). When we are young our bodies produce antioxidants, however, as we
get into our late 30's we produce fewer antioxidants and incidentally, more free radicals.
According to Dr. Jeffrey Blumberg of Tufts University, it is best to "take a combination of
antioxidants" through both diet and supplementation. Antioxidants work synergistically with
one another and for this reason the Prescription for Nutritional Healing says that
it is best to take smaller doses of several different antioxidants than a large amount of only
one. A researcher at Georgetown University, Jane Freedman, Ph.D., agrees, suggesting the best
way to protect health may be by taking a blend of antioxidants, "we're seeing that there's a
lot of synergy among these compounds."
Växa's antioxidant formula, Anti-Oxin+, has a blend of all the "classic"
antioxidants (as Blumberg would phrase it) Vitamin C, Vitamin E and 4000 IUs of mixed carotenes
as well as a number of biologically active nutritional compounds such as Grape Seed Extract
(Activin), Pycnogenol, plus 28 other ingredients. Grape Seed Extract and Pycnogenol are recognized
by experts as two of the most powerful antioxidants around, however, it is the additional 28
ingredients like OptiZinc, selenium and quercitin (a bioflavonoid) that make Anti-Oxin+
the best antioxidant vitamin available. The ingredients in Anti-Oxin+ naturally: help to rid
the body of free radical oxidizing agents, toxins, germs and heavy metals; help to restore and
strengthen red blood cell membranes, capillaries and collagen structure; help to protect neural
activity within the brain from free radicals; and help to reduce inflammation within the
circulatory system.
There is no way to escape the effects of free radical damage in today's society, especially as
we age. Our own bodies create them. We were meant to counteract the possible damage caused by free
radicals and oxidation through a diet rich in pure organic antioxidant fruits and vegetables.
This just doesn't happen in today's society, and even if it did the majority of our soil is depleted
of the rich nutrients it once had. Heed the experts' advice on how to prevent chronic diseases by
supplementing with a blended antioxidant formula like Anti-Oxin+. Add it to
your daily routine today and make strides towards staving off old age.
Caution: For any suspected or known illness or dysfunction,
always consult your physician for medical diagnosis and treatment first. Växa products
are Homeopathic Medicinals and therefore have NDC# (National Drug Control Number)
clearly printed on each label.
