Mounting scientific evidence is demonstrating that many diverse Carotenoids besides Beta-Carotene play vital roles in maintaining good health, especially in protecting against free radical damage. Yet most Americans don't eat enough vegetables!

The term Carotenoid refers to a family of about 600 different plant pigments that function as antioxidants. The yellow, orange and many of the red pigments in fruits, vegetables, and plant materials are usually Carotenoids. In fall, when deciduous trees prepare for winter and stop their Chlorophyll production, the green colors of the leaves fade and the orange, yellow, and red colors of the Carotenoids in the leaves are revealed before their stems and leaves die and fall to the ground. Plants appear to produce Carotenoids to protect their stems and leaves from the energy of the sun. Ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths can generate molecules called free radicals that can damage living cells. Free radicals are molecules, or fragments of molecules, that are unstable and highly reactive. Free radicals are produced as the result of a normal molecule, losing or gaining an electron. In normal, stable molecules, electrons associate in pairs. However, radiation from the sun can result in the removal of an electron from a molecule and the formation of free radical. Carotenoids as antioxidants limit free radial damage by donating electrons to quench, or neutralize, the oxidant radicals.

In human nutrition, Carotenoids, as antioxidants, serve to protect cells from the danger of free radicals that may be produced by the body during metabolism or by cigarette smoke, sunlight, radiation, pollutants, or even stress. Our body produces tens of thousands of free radicals every second. If left unchecked, these free radicals can damage DNA, fats and proteins. However, our body has a defense against these free radicals. With proper nourishment, the body can make sufficient quantities of antioxidant enzymes to quench the free radical reactions. Despite the large number of Carotenoids in nature, only about 50 are present in foods that people in the United States eat. What does this tell us? Our soil is lacking and in turn, our foods are lacking these valuable Carotenoids, therefore we need to supplement. Our Vegetable Blend contains Carotenoids derived from vegetables rich in Lutein, Lycopene, Sulforaphane, Xeaxanthin, and Cryptoxanthin. Feel the increase in natural energy and a sense of peace when taking our natural vegetable blend.
