ANTIOX PHYTO COMPLEX
Description:
Phyto-Tech
Antiox Phyto Complex
is a blend of powerful plant-derived (phyto) antioxidants. Most
health problems are either directly or indirectly related to oxidative (free-radical) damage. While vitamins and
minerals (vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium, for example) are antioxidants, it is now recognized that phytoantiox-
idants, rich in a broad spectrum of flavonoids, polyphenols, anthocyanidins, etc are the most powerful.
Indications:
Who might benefit from this herbal supplement? Those who desire protection against everyday
toxins--dietary, environmental and chemical. Those with current health problems, those under high amounts of
stress, smokers or those exposed to second-hand smoke, and anyone who lives Phyto-Tech

Acai Berry
(Euterpe oleraceae) is the fruit of a palm tree native to South America. The pulp and
skin of acai are rich in anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, and other fatty acids. Studies have shown that acai has
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and apoptic (programmed cell death). effects A study published in the Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry, showed extracts of Acai berries triggered apostisis in up to 86 percent of
leukemia cells tested.
Mangosteen
(Garcinia magostana) is a plant native to Southeast Asia. Studies reveal that xanthones from the
fruit hulls of mangosteen have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti?inflammatory properties. In one
study mangosteen’s xanthones significantly inhibited the growth of leukemia cells. One xanthone in particular,
alpha?mangostin, showed complete inhibition of leukemia cells through the induction of apoptosis (programmed
cell death). Other studies indicate xanthones from mangosteen inhibit the activities of COX?1 and COX?2
enzymes, prevent oxidative damage of LDL cholesterol, have cytotoxic effects on liver cancer cells, and are
antiproliferative, antioxidative, and apoptic against breast cancer cells.
Goji Berry
(Lycium barbarum) polysaccharides exhibit anti-tumor, immune enhancing and liver-protective prop-
erties. Studies suggest that Goji polysacharides have positive effects when used with conventional cancer treat-
ments. A 1994 study done in China on patients with a variety of cancers revealed that patients who were given
Goji Berry polysaccharides along with their conventional cancer treatment had a 40.9
percent response rate to the treatment, while patients who received conventional
treatment without the Goji Berry supplement had only a 16.1 percent response rate.
Additionally the Goji Berry supplemented patients experienced longer remissions and
had a significant increase in natural killer cell activity. Goji berries contain high levels
of Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid necessary for healthy vision that is present in high
amounts in the macula of the human eye. The Zeaxanthin in Goji berries is a naturally
esterifed zeaxanthin which has been proven to cause a higher increase in plasma lev-
els than the non-esterified form contained in many supplements. Researchers have
concluded that Goji is one of the best antioxidants to promote healthy aging.
Pomegranate
(Punica granatum) contains thousands of phytochemicals including
anthocyananins, ellagic acid derivatives, catechins and procyandins, flavonols, fatty
acids and sterols. Human studies show that pomegranate polyphenols and their
metabolites offer protection against various diseases. Pomegranate increases nitric
oxide production in the endothelial cells of the vascular system protecting against car-
diovascular disease. Studies show consumption of the juice benefits patients with
carotid artery stenosis, those with hypertension, and those with coronary heart dis-
ease. Pomegranate has been heavily studied in the treatment of prostate cancer. In
