Antioxidants were discovered in the 1950's and evidence of their importance grows each and every year.
Already, we have learned that antioxidants are instrumental in slowing the aging process and boosting our
immune system's ability to fight disease. Although there are literally thousands of known antioxidants
found in nature, only a relative few play significant roles in our bodies.
It is now known that certain antioxidants are synergistic to each other. Synergism is the interaction of
two or more antioxidants to produce a combined effect that is greater than the sum of the individual antioxidants.
This is a very important concept - understanding that antioxidants work together in concert.
There is no single most important or powerful antioxidant. The real power of antioxidants comes
from their support of each other. It is like arguing which link in a chain is most important!
Because this mutual support is so vital, a good "one-a-day" antioxidants capsule must contain certain key antioxidants. ZonePerfect Nutrition chose the
follwing antioxidants for thier ability to support and empower each other. Some of the ingredients in the ZonePerfect
Antioxidant formula are very expensive and, consequently, are not found in cheaper formulations. Their expense
is justified, we believe, by the research supporting the beneficial effects they have on our bodies, especially relevent to
many forms of cancer and heart disease. With antioxidant formulations, in short, you truly get what you pay for.
The following is a brief description of the antioxidants found in the ZonePerfect formula:
Vitamin E: The body's principle fat-soluble antioxidant and an essential nutrient needed to stabilize
and prevent the oxidation of dietary fats, especially Omega-3 (fish) and Omega-6 (vegetable) oils.
Studies done at Harvard Medical School show that a minimum of 200 IU is needed daily to reduce the risk of heart disease.
(Over half the cardiologists in America take it on a daily basis!) The best for is Natural d-alpha tocopherol, which is the
type used in the ZonePerfect formulation.
Beta-carotene: The star of the carotenoid family (there are over 50 known carotenoids), bet-carotene
is responsible for making carrots orange. Our bodies split beta-carotene into vitamin A on an "as needed" basis.
Thus, it is a safe source of vitamin A and can be taken without fear of overdosing.
It is vital to have adequate levels of beta-carotene for a healthy immune system.
Lycopene: Another type of carotenoid, it is found in tomatoes. Recent studies show that men who consumed
lycopene weekly had a 45% reduced risk of developing prostate cancer. Diets rich in lycopene are associated
with reduced risk of pancreatic and cervical cancers. It is one of the "deisnger" antioxidants not commonly
found in commercial brands due to its higher cost.
Lutein: Like lycopene, lutein is also a member of the carotenoid family. It is found in leafy green vegetables
and marigold petals (the source for lutein in the zonePerfect capsules). Lutein is essential for vision and
low levels of lutein are associated with macular degeneration (blindness). Recent research indicates that lutein protects against heart
disease and cancer. It too is fat-soluble like Vitamin E and is believed to help preserve Vitamin E levels in the body.
Coenzyme Q-10: A vitamin-like substance that plays two roles in the body: it helps convert food
to energy and it is a powerful anti-oxidant. CoQ-10 increases the energy output of the heart, making it
stronger. It can help rejuvenate brain cells and helps prevent gum disease. It plays an extremely
important and vital role in the regeneration of Vitamin E. It is extremely expensive and never found in cheaper antioxidant formulations.
Grape Seed Extract: A product containing a large number of antioxidants known collectively as flavonoids,
which are primarily plant pigments. Two important sources for these compounds are pine bark and grape
seed extract. Flavonoids are believed to be the reason red wine protects against heart disease. They have been shown to improve memory
and are used to treat attention deficit disorder. They boost vitamin C and E levels in the body and are
vitally important in the support of other anitoxidants.
Ascorbyl Palmitate: Eicotech's patented source of vitamin C, it is one of the most important of the antioxidants. Unlike fat-soluble
vitamin E, vitamin C is water-soluble only. Helping to prevent DNA from free radical damage, vitamin C is vital for a healthy immune system
and is the vitamin needed for great skin. (It is essential for the production of collagen, the cellular glue that keeps the skin young and supple.)
Vitamin C ingestion, like vitamin E, is necessary for life; our species does not have the ability to make either one.
It's your body.....choose wisely!

R-ALA is a potent and effective "universal" antioxidant.* It quenches free radicals in virtually all tissues in the body. R-ALA also exhibits insulin-like effects allowing greater nutrient uptake into muscle tissue. R-ALA 200 uses the more effective "r" isomer for a potent, very efficient and effective performance nutrient. R-ALA increases your muscles uptake of glycogen. This increases muscle cell volume and contributes to that full pumped feeling when you workout. This is a very desirable effect as the increase in muscle glycogen also increases other important nutrient transport that contributes to cell volume and muscle growth.
R-ALA is not a thermogenic but it does appear to contribute to favorable body composition changes. This is believed to be due to a nutrient partitioning effect where nutrients are channeled more to lean tissue and away from fat tissue. R-ALA will help enhance the efficiency of many different supplements. One in particular is Creatine HSC. R-ALA will help enhance the absorption of creatine into the muscle cell by providing a transport vehicle by its
unique ability to mimic insulin. R-ALA should be taken in a capsule form and not
in a pre-mixed powder.
For enhanced creatine effectiveness, take 2 capusules with serving of Creatine HSC 30 minutes after workout or athletic event.
Keep conatainer tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place.
Other Ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate.
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule three times daily with meals.

For years I have had a problem with my face breaking out and was advised to use the DRY Vitamin E and it really helps. I wouldn't use anything else but the DRY. Thanks TWINLAB!!!!!!!
The human body cannot manufacture its own Vitamin C and must obtain this essential
nutrient through diet and/or supplementation. Doctor-recommended Ester-C is now
recognized as one of the leading brands of Vitamin C.
Ester-C is manufactured through a water-based, patented process which results in a form of Vitamin C which is
pH-Neutral so it's gentle on the stomach.
This patented, high quality
ascorbate complex is manufactured utilizing a unique process combining non-acidic
Calcium Ascorbate with specific metabolites, like Threonic Acid.
* Contains 200 mg Lemon Bioflavonoid Complex (Extracts from Lemons)
* Full Range Ascorbate Power with Vitamin C Metabolites.
* 100% Vegetarian formula
* Yeast free. No artificial colorings or flavorings added.
Ester C® is a pH–neutral, non–acidic, pH–neutral ascorbate manufactured by the
Inter–Cal Corporation of Prescott, Arizona USA under U.S. Patent
No. 4,822,816. During the water–based manufacturing process,
ascorbic acid is neutralized and fully reacted with a mineral such as
sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, or zinc.
Ester–C® is the only mineral ascorbate containing C metabolites,
including threonate, that have been shown in laboratory research
studies to aid in the transport of vitamin C by the cells.
The Ester–C® mineral ascorbates are gentler in the gastrointestinal
tract and are better tolerated because they lack the acidity of ordinary
ascorbic acid supplements, which further acidify the already low pH of
the stomach's gastric juice.
One negative side–effect of continued large doses of usual forms of
vitamin C is gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea. These effects are
due in large part to the acidity of ascorbic acid itself. A new
technology has been developed to manufacture a vitamin C product
that circumvents many of these problems. At the same time, this new
process introduces an important metabolite of vitamin C so it is present
along with ascorbate when the supplement is taken. The Inter–Cal
Corporation of Prescott, AZ utilizes a unique manufacturing process
that neutralizes the acidity of ascorbic acid and standardizes the level
of threonate, which has been shown in preliminary studies with animals
and human subjects to influence so it can work synergistically to speed
the absorption and utilization of vitamin C. This technology has
received U.S. Patent No. 4,822,816 (Markham, 1989).The
ascorbate/C metabolite complex is sold under the tradename
Ester–C® ascorbate and is produced in five different mineral forms:
calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, and sodium.
The composition of the Ester–C® mineral ascorbates has been
worked out largely through the efforts of Dr. Seth Rose, Professor of
Chemistry and Biochemistry at Arizona State University. He applied
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to identify various
constituents of the Ester–C® products and to quantitate these
components for quality control and research/development activities.
Dr. Rose's work was instrumental in quantitating the amount of the C
metabolites threonate, lyxonate, and xylonate present in the Ester–C®
products. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) studies
have also been used to quantitate the amount of threonate present.
Both NMR and HPLC have confirmed that pure ascorbic acid and
pure calcium ascorbate do not contain these aldonic acid metabolites.
This family of products has been tested in many different situations
where high–dose vitamin C supplementation is used. It is now available
for use in a variety of nutritional, topical, dental, and veterinary
applications. The way in which vitamin C is neutralized during
manufacturing produces the natural metabolites of vitamin C and
makes Ester–C® ascorbates Body–Ready®.A number of studies
have been conducted to explore the capabilities of Ester–C® mineral
ascorbates and to document biological actions.

For best value and convenience, buy
Clarinol CLA Plus. This is a Liquid CLA
with Orange Creamsicle flavor.
Most encapsulated CLA products contain just 750mg of CLA per 1000mg gelcap so you need to take
about 5 of them to match the amount of CLA in a serving of Clarinol CLA Plus. Not only is
Clarinol CLA Plus more convenient, but much more economical as well.
PBL CLA Plus with Clarinol
Fat Absorption Control System in a Convenient Liquid!
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a dietary supplement ingredient
which is an effective product for reducing body fat and improving body shape. CLA not only helps you to
lose body fat more effectively but also boosts your immune defenses.
Unfortunately, an effective dose of CLA has been about 4 to 10 capsules per day
depending on the quality of the CLA source and the size of the gelcap.
Now a great-tasting liquid version of highly concentrated CLA is available.
CLA Plus with Clarinol is a rich source of conjugated linoleic acid,
which has been shown to possess a number of health benefits.
Just 1/2 a tablespoon per day is all you need to get the full benefits of CLA
that have been detailed in study after study.
• CLA has been shown to help your body reduce fat.
• Studies indicate that CLA boosts your immune system.
• CLA occurs naturally in dairy products and vegetable oils and is part of a healthy diet.
• CLA consumption has decreased dramatically over the last 100 years mainly due to the increased use of low-fat foods and changes in the way cattle are fed.

CLA Plus with Clarinol contains the highest possible concentration of beneficial active
CLA fatty acids, which are called isomers. In a range of 1.4 to 6.8 grams per day of these
active isomers, CLA provides an optimal daily dosage for fat mass
reduction. At least 3.5 grams (3500mg) of CLA per day is recommended by many experts.
Most encapsulated CLA products contain just 750mg of CLA per 1000mg gelcap so you need
to take about 5 of them to match the amount of CLA in a serving of CLA Plus with Clarinol.
Not only is CLA Plus with Clarinol more convenient than a handful of gelcaps,
but much more economical as well!
CLA Plus with Clarinol is provided in glyceride form. This form is identical
to the CLA which occurs in natural products as vegetable oils, dairy and meat.
An additional benefit of the glyceride is that it has a pleasant taste.
CLA has been shown to decrease body fat in many scientific studies to date.
Therefore, when used in combination with a sensible diet and moderate exercise,
this may result in safe and effective weight loss.
A number of studies in animals and humans indicate that CLA supplementation
decreases body fat and increases lean muscle mass. The increase in lean muscle
mass is most pronounced in individuals who are exercising regularly, which makes
it an ideal aid for maintaining desirable weight after extra pounds have been
lost. The impact of CLA on fat metabolism comes from its effect on the
interaction between fat storage cells -adipocytes- with skeletal muscle,
the principal site where fat is burned to meet the body's energy needs.
CLA appears to reduce the adipocytes. At the same time, CLA enhances the
breakdown of fat molecules in the skeletal muscle cells, and it may mitigate
the breakdown of muscle tissue to provide energy. Thus, fat is burned at a
higher rate, while muscle is both fueled and preserved, leading to a reduction
in fat and an increase in lean muscle mass.
CLA is a vegetable oil with a unique structure. Following digestion CLA
is absorbed and metabolized by the body - as are all types of oils. Studies
in animals and humans have shown that if the amount of CLA in the diet is
increased this will result in an increase in the CLA levels in the body tissues.
Scientists now believe that CLA may have a unique effect on body fat by many means:
By blocking the transport mechanism of fat into fat cells. This way the size of
these fat cells is reduced, which may lead to an improved body shape.
By enhancing the activity of an enzyme present in the muscles. By stimulating
this enzyme, it helps the body to burn more fat.
Fat cells in the body may remain smaller and do not mature.
This reduces the level of fat in the body.
No more yo-yo dieting!
Furthermore, CLA may put an end to the frustrations of those who find it
difficult to keep their weight stable following a weight loss diet.
Especially with crash dieting, the yo-yo effect occurs, where weight is
put back on shortly after losing it. A study in the US showed the CLA may
help reduce this effect. After the dietary period in this study less body
fat accumulated in those taking CLA than those who were not.
The History of CLA
In the early eighties a substance isolated from grilled ground beef by Michael W. Pariza
and his research team at the University of Wisconsin was found to inhibit the development
of tumors in mice. After further study the substance was identified as conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA), a derivative of linoleic acid that is found widely in vegetable
oils and animal fats.
CLA is a derivative of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid found in large
amounts in our regular diet. The presence of conjugated fatty acids in milk
fat was first established over 66 years ago (Booth et al. 1935). Increased UV
light absorption pointed to an increase in conjugated fatty acids in milk which
was observed after cows were turned out to pasture in the spring. Unfortunately,
cow milk does not contain the large amount of CLA today as it once did
due to more "economical" feeding methods.
The biological activity of CLA, however, was unknown until Pariza’s discovery,
which set off an explosion of research in this area.
Extensive research is underway to determine the total health benefit potential
of CLA. The increase is research and general interest in CLA has led to commercial
production from vegetable oils high in linoleic acid.
The Research
*The information provided is intended solely for informational and educational
purpose, and not as medical advice. Please consult a medical or health professional
if you have questions about your health.
Since the early eighties there has been a steady stream of publications,
which has grown exponentially by the late nineties. CLA research began with
the anti-cancer effects of CLA and soon expanded to other areas of human health.
Studies are now showing that CLA may have potential in the prevention of a wide
range of human medical conditions. Additionally, CLA may enhance the activity of the
immune system. A dedicated
CLA web site from
the University of Wisconsin
records all CLA publications, which keeps the CLA scientific community well informed
of each others work.
CLA in the Diet
CLA is naturally produced by cattle and is therefore present in milk,
beef and dairy products. It is now known that CLA levels in milk increase
when cows are fed grass as opposed to cereals. Therefore, it is believed
that CLA levels in food were much higher in the past when cattle were fed
mainly on grass, whereas today CLA levels are lower due to more economical
feeding methods.
There are many surveys published analyzing the CLA content of foods around
the world and in addition scientists have estimated consumption data of CLA
by humans. Results suggest that CLA intake varies from 160-430 mg of CLA per
day. This variation is dependent on a number of factors including dietary
choice, age and sex of an individual.
However, intake is much lower than those of scientific studies inducing
beneficial health effects. Therefore the research suggests that in order
to obtain health benefits reported for CLA we must supplement our daily
diet to reach the levels required for optimum effects, supplementation
CLA Plus with Clarinol can safely provide.
Where does CLA Plus with Clarinol come from?
The CLA in CLA Plus with Clarinol is produced from vegetable oils.
Only natural sunflower and safflower oils are used.
CLA Plus with Clarinol is produced in a dedicated plant in Wormerveer, the Netherlands
by a team of experts focused on the production of a world class product.
CLA Plus with Clarinol meets a strict set of quality and safety standards (including ISO,
GMP and HACCP) resulting in the highest quality CLA available.
Research Results
The most fascinating bioactivity of Clarinol™ is its effect on the body’s fat to muscle ratio. The following paragraphs describe briefly the studies demonstrating the effects on growth and body composition.
Animal studies
The body fat reducing effect of CLA has been observed in many animal studies using rats, mice, hamsters, pigs and chickens. Such an effect was not limited to young animals but was also noticed in adults (Chin et al., 1994, Pariza et al., 1996, Albright et al., 1996, Park et al., 1997, Ostrowska et al.,1999, West et al., 1998, Delany et al., 1999, de Deckere et al., 1999).
Human Trials
A number of human clinical trials have produced a growing body of evidence pointing at the effectiveness of CLA in the control and management of body weight.
A small clinical trial of 20 non-obese people showed a 20% reduction in body fat. A subsequent larger scale trial with 80 obese people lasting 6 months demonstrated that those treated with CLA did not regain fat mass to the same extent as those not taking CLA. This suggests that CLA preferentially produces deposition of muscle mass rather than fat mass (Atkinson et al., 1999).
In another study 60 overweight or obese volunteers were treated with CLA for 12 weeks. In this study a dose over 3.4g of CLA per day caused a significant reduction in body fat mass (Blankson et al., 2000). Safety parameters analyzed during this study revealed no adverse effects resulting from CLA treatment (Berven et al., 2000).
A Medstat research study fed 1.8 grams of CLA per day for 12 weeks to 20 healthy volunteers. A significant reduction in body fat (20%) was obtained during the study for the CLA group, while no effect was seen in the group not taking CLA (Thom et al., 1997).
CLA supplementation had no effect on the parameters examined and no adverse effects were observed in a study examining the effect of CLA (different forms) supplementation (3g/d) for 64 days on body composition, immune parameters and related events in 17 adult healthy women. (Zambell et al. 2000, Medina et al., 2000, Kelley et al., 2000). The CLA used in this study contained several isomers of CLA, the two active isomers, c9-t11 CLA and t10-c12 CLA, were diluted to a greater extent than in the previous studies. This may account for the lack of effect in this study.
A trial using 24 novice body builders consuming a daily dose of 7.2g of CLA or a placebo for 6 weeks while completing body building exercises (Lowery et al., 1998) was used to investigate the effect of CLA on muscle development. An increase in skin-fold-corrected arm girth, body mass and leg press was seen in the CLA group compared with the placebo.
A similar trial investigated 28 days of CLA supplementation (6g/d) in 24 experienced resistance-trained males (Ferreira et al., 1997). Analysis showed that those athletes taking CLA improved their bench press and leg press strength considerably compared with the athletes taking placebos.
These studies clearly show the positive effects CLA has on the fat to muscle ratio and the resulting body profile improvement. A well known shortcoming of weight loss diets is the yo-yo effect where the dieters gains most if not all of the weight back in a short time after the diet stops. CLA has been observed to dampen this yo-yo effect considerably.

Green tea combats drug resistance
NEW YORK, Aug 24 (Reuters) -- Extracts of green tea may make strains of drug-resistant bacteria more sensitive to penicillin, British researchers report.
It has long been known both black and green teas have antibacterial properties, according to a report in the August issue of the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy.
"The antimicrobial activity of tea (an aqueous extract of Camellia sinensis) was recognized 90 years ago," reported Dr. J.M.T. Hamilton-Miller and colleagues, of the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, London, UK.
In the new study, Hamilton-Miller's group added green tea extracts to different strains of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria growing on laboratory dishes containing benzylpenicillin. Staphylococcus aureus commonly causes skin infections and abscesses.
The researchers found that after treatment with the tea extract, many of these strains showed reversal of penicillin resistance, instead showing increased sensitivity to the antibiotic.
The investigators also found that diluted tea extract acted synergistically with antibiotics, making them more potent against particular strains of S. aureus.
The researchers believe that the two activities may be the action of a single compound. Purification of the tea extracts "yielded several fractions, one of which contained a virtually pure compound that showed the above-mentioned activities," they report.
Although other compounds have similar activity to those seen in tea, little is known about their toxicity, Hamilton-Miller's group notes.
"Tea, on the other hand is self-renewable resource and the beverage has been drunk ...for hundreds of years by billions of people without any harmful effects -- rather the reverse in fact," the team concludes.

The French Paradox. Scientists have long been intrigued by the phenomenon known
as the French Paradox: the French diet
is laden with saturated fat and cholesterol, yet the French have the lowest rate
of heart disease of any western society --- nearly
half that of the U.S. What's their secret to a longer, healthier life? Some
medical researchers believe that the answers can be found
in the red wine they drink. Specifically the biologically active flavonoids
concentrated inside the grade seeds. Studies show that
grape seed flavonoids contain some of the most powerful antioxidants yet
discovered. In fact, some experts believe that this
explains why the purported health benefits of red wine are greater than
white, since red wine is fermented with the seeds while
white wine is not.
Inspired by the research behind the French Paradox, ActiVin® is a
natural extract of red grape seeds that delivers the antioxidant
power of these flavonoids without the alcohol of red wine.

A small clinical trial of 20 non-obese people showed a 20% reduction in body fat. A subsequent larger scale trial with 80 obese people lasting 6 months demonstrated that those treated with CLA did not regain fat mass to the same extent as those not taking CLA. This suggests that CLA preferentially produces deposition of muscle mass rather than fat mass (Atkinson et al., 1999).
