Berry Radical - Why Plants Contain Antioxidants?

Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants convert light energy from the sun into stored physical energy. Photosynthesis exposes plants to a massive number of free radicals. Plants produce antioxidants to protect themselves from damage by these free radicals.

Antioxidant plant pigments, primarily carotenoids and polyphenols that are
responsible for the bright colours of many orange, red, blue and purple fruits,berries and algae, provide most of this protection.

Research has shown that
human ingestion of these plant-based antioxidants result in similar protection.
Research also shows that antioxidants work synergistically
(where the combined effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects) and are far more effective when a spectrum of antioxidants are ingested, rather that individual isolated compounds.

Dunaliella Salina

A very popular marine microalgae with a deep orange-red pigment known as the richest source of dietary carotenoids as well as exceptionally high quantities of beta and alpha carotene.

A prosperous blend of carotenoids and green chlorophyll gives Dunaliella salina its orange-red colour. Dunaliella salina used in Berry Radical is farmed in large shallow lakes at Karratha in Western Australia. They are grown in clean Australian ocean waters collected from natural tidal catchment's ponds, and use pure sunlight as an energy source.

It's harvested and dried mechanically without chemicals or solvents. Research shows that carotenoids contain antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and immune system enhancing properties. They help to protect against free radical cell damage responsible for premature ageing, cataracts, cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases.

Now, you probably get the picture why Berry Radical is so popular, powerful and potent Superfoods. There is nothing on the market that would combine so many different components to create one amazing product. So what are you waiting for? Let it works wonders for your health and beauty!

Supplements Enhance Health.

New Studies Confirm Supplements Enhance Health
By Dr. Allen S. Josephs

I get so tired of responding to vitamin naysayers. The latest one is Dr. Eric Rimm, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard. He reportedly told ABC television that dietary supplements will not provide the nutritional boost a poor diet requires. He does correctly state that a change in diet and lifestyle will improve health, although adds that "fundamentally unhealthy people seeking dietary remedial actions through supplementation are wasting their time". He also adds, "Indeed, dietary supplements used in this way may provide little more than expensive urine."

Obviously, optimizing your diet and exercise plans is a great way to impenquin exercisingprove your health. Even so, I take issue with Dr. Rimm uniformly slamming nutritional supplementation. Dr. Michael Holick who wrote a wonderful review article1 on vitamin D deficiency last year in The New England Journal of Medicine, noted that 40% of Americans are vitamin D deficient. It is clear that the nutritional value of our food has diminished over the last few decades.
