ANTIOXIDANT MYTH

TRUTHS REVEALED

We benefit nutritionally from many components found in foods that also happen to be rich in "direct" antioxidants, such as oranges, dark chocolate and red wine. It is thought that if we eat these foods and many other direct antioxidant supplements, we would receive tremendous antioxidant rewards and reduce our total oxidative stress. Science is proving that to be a myth.


Current scientific studies show that your body can't ingest enough antioxidants through food, juices or vitamins to equal the number of free radicals your body makes every day; therefore failing to relieve oxidative stress. In fact, studies are also suggesting that consuming large amounts of direct antioxidant through supplements may result in antioxidants reacting with oxygen in your system, resulting in the production of oxidants and increased oxidative stress.


Coming to light through LifeVantage is a discovery that our bodies produced their own free radical fighting enzymes that are so powerful they can completely reduce the age dependent increase in oxidative stress. And with this discovery and the patented, clinically-proven product that causes our bodies to produce the enzymes, a new opportunity for health and financial prosperity has begun.
