- Phytonutrient Antioxidants - VEGGIE CAROTENOIDS
Veggie Carotenoids- Our Veggie Carotenoids formula is an effective
combination of plant-based antioxidants and whole-vegetable extracts
designed to provide many of the nutrients missing from less than fresh, over
cooked or commercially processed vegetables. In addition to the nutrients
listed above, we’ve included Vitamin A as beta carotene and alpha carotene
from D. salina algae, an excellent natural source of carotenoids. D. salina also
provides xeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, and additional lutein and lycopene.
Combine these heavy-hitters of health with whole-vegetable extracts from
broccoli, spinach, tomato, kale, cabbage and brussel sprouts, and you’ve got
one of the best carotenoid supplements on the market.

GRAPE SEED EXTRACT
Grape Seed Extract - Why are the French known for cardiovascular health?
One widely held theory is their daily consumption of red wine. Not the wine
itself, but a class of flavonoid compounds found in certain grapes (Vitis
vinifera) and their seeds. These compounds are called proanthocyanidins, and
they’ve shown powerful free radical scavenging capabilities in various studies.
Proanthocyanidins work synergistically with other flavonoids and various
antioxidants like vitamin C to support healthy immune system function.
NOW® offers Grape Seed Extract in two different potencies, a 60mg formula
with 300mg of additional bioflavonoids, and a high potency 100mg formula
that includes calcium ascorbate for additional immune system support. Each
product is a standardized herbal extract that provides 90% polyphenols.
...LYCOPENE
Lycopene - Scientists have wondered for years why Mediterranean cultures
have such a good record of prostate health. Research is providing strong
evidence that it has to do with the prevalence of tomato-based foods in their
diets. Researchers have uncovered a carotenoid in tomatoes that gives them
their red color and health benefits – Lycopene. This unsaturated fat-soluble
carotenoid works in conjunction with other antioxidants to eliminate free
radicals in the body. Some studies suggest that Lycopene may be up to fifty
times more powerful than vitamin E! NOW® uses Lyc-o-mato® tomato extract,
one of the highest quality sources for this outstanding natural antioxidant.
We carry 10 & 20mg potencies, the highest available.
...LUTEIN
Lutein- A fat-soluble carotenoid that gives certain vegetables their yellow
pigment, Lutein has enjoyed growing popularity in recent years. Research
has shown that lutein protects the macular region of the eye and supports
healthy visual function. Lutein makes up most of the pigment in the retina
of the human eye. However, damaging UV rays from the sun, as well as
other environmental factors, can deplete Lutein levels, so supplementation
is important if you don’t consume 3 to 6 servings of phytonutrient-rich
vegetables every day. NOW® uses Xangold® Lutein, a potent natural source
supplied by Cognis Nutrition. Our 20mg potency is one of the highest
currently available.

Green Tea Extract - Green Tea (Camillia sinensis) has been used for
thousands of years as a popular beverage and herbal tonic, and it’s one
of the more well-studied herbs. Green Tea extract has a high content of
polyphenols, a class of bioflavonoids that provide antioxidant benefits. The
most active of these polyphenols are catechins, which yield the important
catechin Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), a powerful free radical scavenging
antioxidant. When looking for a truly effective Green Tea extract product,
make sure the brand you choose contains at least 40% catechins. NOW®
Green Tea Extract provides 400mg of this potent extract and contains 40%
catechins and 60% polyphenols.
