Get the Antioxidant Power Punch of Perfor-MaxAlert: beware of dangerous free radicalsThink of your body as an energy-using, cell-building factory. Like all factories, your body generates wastes as it operates. These wastes are dangerous molecules known as "free radicals". There's no way of avoiding free radicals, not only are they produced by your body, they're also part of the environment. Free radicals are produced by smoking, and by exposure to low-level radiation thrown off by electronic equipment.Free radicals damage the body's cells and the cells' DNA. They deposit plaque in your arteries, constricting them. Researchers also believe that free radicals' damage leads to Alzheimers disease and some forms of cancer.Antioxidants: the heroes which fight free radicalsAll is not lost. Plant foods are rich in antioxidants, which inhibit oxidation, and are your body's front line of defence against free radicals. This means that any diet that's deficient in fruits and vegetables, and thus antioxidants, inevitably leads to disease.With today's busy lifestyles, many people don't have the time to prepare nutritious meals, so they increase their intake of vitamins C, D, and E, because these vitamins are powerful antioxidants.But are they powerful enough?All antioxidants are not created equalAntioxidants destroy the free radicals which damage cells, so the more powerful the antioxidants, the better.Perfor-Max is unique in that it contains a special class of antioxidants called oligomeric proanthocyanadins (OPCs), which are found in apples, berries and grapes. These OPCs are much more powerful than those in their vitamin cousins. They're twenty times more powerful than the antioxidants in vitamin E, and 50 times more powerful than those in vitamin C.What can the powerful antioxidants in Perfor-Max do for you?Your body can’t operate properly if it's filled with free radical sludge. Eliminating free radicals ensures that your cells stay strong, reproduce properly, and that you age gracefully. The destruction of free radicals is implicated in many chronic diseases, notably allergies, circulatory problems, and destructive processes like inflammation and arthritis.Perfor-Max helps to build musclesEven bodybuilders often don’t understand how antioxidants help to build healthy muscles. Taking an antioxidant-rich product daily decreases free radicals promoting strong, healthy muscles – including a strong healthy heart muscle, and good eye muscles. Muscles shrink with age: it's intriguing to think that some of the aging-related reduction in your body's muscle-mass may be related to unrestrained free radicals.Strong muscles also help with joint problems. If you have problems with your knees, it's recommended that you exercise to develop your muscles to take the stress off your knees – your antioxidant-rich Perfor-Max will help.Perfor-Max helps the brainBecause the brain is so metabolically active and the body's largest consumer of oxygen, it's attacked by free radicals. This is revealed in loss of memory and mood disturbances. Scientists know that antioxidants protect against and may even reverse the cognitive declines of the aged. A recent study by a psychiatrist of OPC antioxidants on children at his clinic showed excellent results, with improved school performance and improved behaviour in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).Perfor-Max helps stressFree radicals stress the body. An antioxidant supplement makes sense whenever you can feel the results of stress: in depression, mood swings, and unspecified aches and pains.Perfor-Max helps relieve allergiesAllergies are reactions to factors in the environment, and allergens (the substances which cause allergies) can be in the air you breathe and in the food you eat, as well as whatever you're in contact with. Antioxidants can act as an immune system boost, protecting you from allergens. They can also help to reduce the symptoms of an allergic reaction, like the swelling and inflammation of tissues in the nose and throat.If you suffer from asthma or hayfever, take Perfor-Max daily.
