Bio-Oxidate Defense is manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards - using only the best quality raw ingredients.

Bio-Oxidate Defense is a 100% herbal formula containing carefullyselected herbs in therapeutic dosage, presented in a 100% veggie-capsule:

Aspalathus linearis (Rooibos) is an herb found only on the slopes of the Cedarberg mountains in the Western Cape of South Africa, and has been used as a natural medicine for thousands of years by the indigenous people of that area. It is used as supportive tonic and has powerful anti-oxidant properties, mainly due to its superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic properties. SOD is an enzyme in the body that is especially designed to neutralize unstable oxygen molecules (free radicals) as soon as they occur, and systemic SOD can therefore help to promote health. (Standley L, Winterton P, Marnewick JL, et al. “Influence of processing stages on antimutagenic and antioxidant potentials of rooibos tea”. J Agric Food Chem 2001;49:114–7). (Ulicna O, Vancova O, Bozek P et al. Rooibos tea (Aspalathus linearis) partially prevents oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Physiol Res. 2006;55:157-64.) Due to its high vitamin and mineral content, Rooibos can promote healthy cell metabolism. These minerals can also be beneficial as a promotional tonic for the immune system. Rooibos is an extremely nutritious herb, containing Vitamin C, Alphahydroxy Acid, potassium, copper, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and fluoride.

Grape seed extract is a potent source of proanthocyanidins or pycnogenols containing naturally occurring proanthocyanidins, a naturally powerful antioxidant. Proanthocyanidins also have an affinity for cell membranes, providing nutritional support to reduce capillary permeability and fragility. The way in which these versatile compounds are distinct from flavonoids is their simple chemical structure, which allows them to be readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Vitamin E defends against fat-soluble oxidants and vitamin C neutralizes water-soluble ones, but OPC’s are active against both types. (Simonetti P, Ciappellano S, Gardana C, Bramati L, Pietta P. “Procyanidins from Vitis vinifera seeds: in vivo effects on oxidative stress”. J Agric Food Chem. 2002 Oct 9;50(21):6217-21). Grape seed extract has also been studied for its promotion of skin cell renewal. (Agarwal C, Singh RP, Dhanalakshmi S, Agarwal R. “Anti-angiogenic efficacy of grape seed extract in endothelial cells”. Oncol Rep. 2004 Mar;11(3):681-5). Grape seed extract has also been investigated for its affect on free radicals and thus its promotion of health. (Bagchi D, Bagchi M, Stohs SJ, Das DK, Ray SD, Kuszynski CA, Joshi SS, Pruess HG. “Free radicals and grape seed proanthocyanidin extract: importance in human health and disease prevention”. Toxicology. 2000 Aug 7;148(2-3):187-97).

Camellia sinensis (Green tea) is the tea plant, the plant species whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea. White tea, green tea, oolong and black tea are all harvested from this species, but are processed differently to attain different levels of oxidation. Green tea contains high levels of substances called catechin polyphenols, known to possess strong antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antitumorigenic, and even antibiotic properties. (Snow JM. Camellia sinensi (L.) Kuntze (Theaceae). J Botanical Medicine. 1995;Autumn:28-32). Green tea has also been investigated for its positive effect on aging skin. (Chiu AE, Chan JL, Kern DG, et al. “Double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of green tea extracts in the clinical and histologic appearance of photoaging skin”. Dermatol Surg. 2005;31:855-860; discussion 860). Green tea extract has also been studied in recent times for its ability to help address lipid imbalances in the blood. (Maron DJ, Lu GP, Cai NS, et al. “Cholesterol-lowering effect of a theaflavin-enriched green tea extract: a randomized controlled trial”. Arch Intern Med. 2003;163:1448-53).

Bio-Oxidate Defense contains no gluten, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or animal products.

Take two Bio-Oxidate Defense capsules three times daily. Use regularly for best effect.

Bio-Oxidate Defense is best stored in a cool (not cold) dark place out of direct sunlight such as a cupboard or closet. Bio-Oxidate Defense does not need to be refrigerated.

Results may vary, due to a number of influential factors. Many individuals experience systemic support within the first week. However, over time (usually 3-6 weeks) Bio-Oxidate Defense will act in a supportive capacity to cellular health and harmony.

One bottle of Bio-Oxidate Defense contains 60 capsules. At full adult dosage (2 capsules three times daily), a bottle will last 10 days.
