More and more we place our bodies under stressful conditions, both from the inside and from the outside. It’s easy to see why we become more susceptible to illness and show faster signs of aging! BetterYou SuperAntioxidants formulation combines some of the most potent immune system boosters available and all ingredients are importantly raw food sourced for optimum absorption by the body.

BetterYou SuperAntioxidants is a completely natural, 100% herbal antioxidant supplement designed to help protect and repair tissue from the effects of pollutants, UV exposure, exercise and general modern lifestyle stress.

How does it work?
BetterYou SuperAntioxidants contains some the most effective and well-researched antioxidant ingredients available : organic Acerola cherries, organic pine bark extract, natural vitamin E, natural vitamin A and Selenium.

Available in a completely natural food-state formulation for optimum absorption.
Completely natural and food-sourced ingredients for better body absorption.

Effective and natural anti-inflammatory properties. Suitable for asthma sufferers.

A particularly effective free-radical scavenger and collagen producer to aid skin tissue elasticity and strength.

Helps to prolong exercise sessions and speed-up muscle recovery time.

Naturally high in food-sourced vitamin E. Ideal for maintaining skin health. The wholefood source within this formula is equivalent to eating around 200 almonds! Reduces the effect of UV radiation by 25-32%. (BUPA Dec 2004)

The biggest threats to our skin are the sun, poor diet, stress and pollution.
As the skin ages it loses its flexibility. This is primarily due to the effects of sun exposure, which alters the skin structure and reduces the amount of skin protein (collagen and elastin). These proteins in young skin freely slide over each other and spring back to normal length when stretched.

As time goes by, the ultraviolet energy in sunlight reacts with fats in the skin to produce damaging free radicals. These free radicals damage the proteins, linking them together and inhibiting their free movement. Your skin is tireless, working constantly to regenerate itself. A cell is born in the lower layer of the skin, called the dermis, then migrates upward for about two weeks until it reaches the epidermis, the bottom portion of the outermost layer of the skin. The cell spends another two weeks in the epidermis, gradually flattening out and continuing to move toward the surface. Then it dies and is shed. In fact, 2-3 billion skin cells are shed daily. The body expends this effort to replace skin every month because the skin constitutes the first line of defence against dehydration, infection, injuries and temperature extremes.

Internal and external factors will affect the rate that your skin ages. Eating sensibly, a protective sun cream and making sure your body is well watered are the keys to good skin as we age. Taking BetterYou daily supplements can make a real difference to the speed at which your skin ages. Nutrients offer daily protection from free radical damage and can help recycle the vitamins your skins needs.

What is an antioxidant?
Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals, damaging compounds in the body that alter cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins (including radiation, cigarette smoke, ultraviolet light and air pollution) can increase the number of free radicals. Free radicals are believed to contribute to the ageing process; aiding the development of a number of health problems including heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants can neutralise free radicals, reducing or even preventing the amount of damage they cause.

Vitamin C: This is essential for the healthy production of collagen synthesis required for bone, skin, and tendon formation. Our vitamin C comes from organic Acerola Cherries, the most potent source of natural vitamin C known in the natural world, containing over 30 times more vitamin C than your average orange.

Pine Bark Extract: Certain vitamins and minerals can be called nutritional cosmetics, such is their beneficial impact on the health and vitality of skin, hair and nails. One of the most popular, researched and effective nutritional cosmetics is pine bark extract. Pine bark extract is a naturally-occuring complex of several water-soluble, highly bioavailable, antioxidant nutrients including compounds known as bioflavonoids, fruit acids and proanthocyanidins (OPCs). OPCs effectively protect collagen structures in several ways. They reinforce the collagen matrix of connective tissue, protect against free radical damage, and inhibit collagen damage caused by inflammation and infection. OPCs have been shown to be effective in cases of psoriasis and the hyper-pigmentation disorder melasma (chloasma) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Vitamin A: The beta carotene used in this formula is a natural source of synergistic carotenoids derived from one of nature's richest sources, the sea algae dunaliella salina. Prolonged vitamin A deficiency results in a number of symptoms including increased rate of infection and the characteristic signs of follicular hyperkeratosis (build-up of cellular debris in the hair follicles, giving the skin a goose-bump appearance; occurs most on the back of the upper arm). Beta carotene appears to act as a natural pre-tanning aid and having protective effects against UV damage. Carotenes are also potent antioxidants.

Selenium: Selenium is a potent antioxidant mineral, needed by the body in trace amounts. Due to intensive farming methods, selenium is largely absent from the soil and therefore not found in our foods at appropriate levels. Selenium is thought to have detoxifying properties, helping the body rid itself of heavy metals including mercury and cadmium.

BetterYou SuperAntioxidants uses only botanical ingredients from natural, organic food sources to provide nutrients in an easy and quick form for your body to absorb.
Organic Acerola Cherries are one of nature’s most powerful sources of vitamin C (30 times more powerful than that of an orange!) and is complimented by botanical sources of vitamins A and E and essential Selenium to produce a potent, natural and highly absorbable antioxidant formulation. In addition we’ve added organic Pine Bark extract from Southern France, to reduce swelling and aid blood-flow. Certain vitamins and minerals can be called nutritional cosmetics, such is their beneficial impact on the health and vitality of skin, hair and nails. One of the most popular, researched and effective nutritional cosmetics is pine bark extract.

This unique formulation effectively reduces excess free radical activity which cause cell mutations and can damage the immune function.

“The best example of free radicals accelerating ageing is to look at the skin of either a heavy smoker or a Caucasian sun-worshipper - they are prematurely aged and wrinkled because of free radical damage. The best known antioxidant system is that based on selenium and vitamins A, C and E.”
Dr Sarah Myhill – Chair of British Allergy, Environmental and Nutritional Medicine Research Institute

“Keeping your body topped up with enough vitamin C, E and selenium will not only make it difficult for a virus to survive, but renders it much less harmful.”
