Super Supplements To Combat Ageing

anti-aging Super supplements are potent health supplements that can optimize physiologic function and slow down the ageing process. These supplements, though not essential to life, can have a powerful impact on energy levels and health. Among the supernutrients recognized to have an amazing effect are those listed below.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

This super supplement also known as ubiquinone has a profound effect on overall health, as it improves the efficiency of mitochondria (the cellular energy factories of the body), by facilitating the transformation of fats and sugars into energy. CoQ10 is an antioxidant and helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicles which are created in the normal course of energy production. As you age, the levels of CoQ10 produced by your bodies declines.

Grapeseed Extract

Also known as proanthocyanidin, this is another potent antioxidant that scavanges free radicles and enhances the growth of healthy cells. Grape Seed Extract is a far more powerful antioxidant than either Vitamin C or E, and prevents heart disease, stroke and cancer. It enhances elasticity of blood vessels, and inhibits inflammation.

Carnosine

Carnosine is regarded as a powerful anti-aging supplement, as it has been shown to extend the life span of cells in culture. It is known to reduce and prevent cell damage caused by beta amyloid which is found in the brains of Alzheimer disease patients. It also prevents cross linking of DNA and protein molecules, which may be beneficial for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cataracts, and neuropathy.

Resveratrol

Resveratrol has strong antioxidant properties and reduces the harmful effects of cholesterol, as well as protecting the cells from free radicals and inhibiting the progression of cancer.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

ALA is a water soluble and fat soluble antioxidant. It neutralises free radicles and improves efficiency of insulin in utilizing glucose. It reverses the formation of age spots on the skin, as well as conditions such as cataracts.

Garlic

Garlic is a healthy spice that has the ability to lower blood pressure and also protects against free radical damage. The consumption of garlic extract can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimers.
