Broad Spectrum Antioxidant Protection*

SKU: DLAOM

A/O Maximizers, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a convenient dietary supplement designed to support the body’s antioxidant defense system with a unique combination of dietary antioxidants in nutritionally.*

Body cells and tissues are continuously threatened by damage caused by toxic free radicals and reactive oxygen species, such as peroxides, produced during normal oxygen metabolism, and by toxic agents in the environment. Free radicals are capable of disrupting metabolic activity and cell structure. When this occurs, additional free radicals are produced which, in turn, can result in more extensive damage to cells and tissues. The uncontrolled production of free radicals is thought to be a major contributing factor to many degenerative diseases.*

A/O Maximizers is formulated to take advantage of the synergistic relationships between antioxidants and provides balanced amounts of key nutrients to bolster the body’s antioxidant defense system. A/O Maximizers helps defend against all major free radicals, both intra- and extra-cellularly, as well as within the cell membrane.*

Antioxidants depend on each other for ongoing effectiveness. For example: beta-carotene supports vitamin E; vitamin E is regenerated by vitamin C; glutathione reactivates vitamin C; selenium and niacin are needed to keep glutathione effective; and alphalipoic acid regenerates glutathione.*

Beta-Carotene efficiently quenches singlet oxygen and free radicals in the body, and can prevent oxidation of phospholipids in cell membranes and blood lipoproteins. In these functions, beta-carotene appears to work synergistically with vitamin E. Vitamin E is recognized as the body’s most valuable fat-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin E prevents oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by trapping free radicals. This helps stabilize and protect cell membranes, especially red blood cells and tissues sensitive to oxidation, such as the lungs, eyes, and arteries. Vitamin E has synergistic effects with vitamin C, glutathione, and other antioxidants.*
