Consuming alcoholic beverages results in the generation of free radicals. People who drink a lot of alcohol often suffer a hangover because of massive free radical-induced cellular damage.
Anti-Alcohol Antioxidants with Hepatoprotection Complex, 100 capsules
Anti-Alcohol Antioxidants with HepatoProtection Complex 100 capsules Item Catalog Number:00802
Consuming alcoholic beverages results in the generation of free radicals. People who drink a lot of alcohol often suffer because of massive free radical-induced cellular damage. Alcohol-induced free radical assault can wreak short-term havoc throughout the body, and these same damaging free radicals are associated with accelerated aging.
Protecting against alcohol toxicity Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated with acute ethanol-induced liver damage. A study published in the journal Artery confirmed a specific toxic metabolite of alcohol (acetaldehyde) and identified an antidote (N-acetyl-cysteine): “All known pathways of ethanol metabolism result in the production of acetaldehyde, a highly reactive compound. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), an analogue of the dietary amino acid cysteine, binds acetaldehyde, thus preventing its damaging effect on physiological proteins.”54 NAC is a glutathione (GSH) precursor and direct antioxidant. Pretreatment with or co-administration of NAC prevents acute ethanol-induced liver damage via counteracting ethanol-induced oxidative stress.55,56
Thus, when people are exposed to a known toxic substance such as alcohol, it makes perfect sense to take a proven antidote — namely, antioxidants.
Life Extension's Anti-Alcohol Antioxidants with HepatoProtection Complex is an improved formula containing additional antioxidants designed to suppress free radicals, neutralize toxic alcohol metabolites such as acetaldehyde,57-60 and support healthy liver function.* In addition to vitamin B1, vitamin C, N-acetyl-cysteine and benfotiamine, this formula's HepatoProtection Complex provides therapeutic doses of these novel antioxidants:
Chlorophyllin, an agent that protects the body from oxidative stress
Leucoselect® grapeseed extract, silymarin (from milk thistle), and resveratrol, three hepatoprotective agents that aid in reducing compounds from potentially toxic xenobiotics and protecting cells from free radial-induced oxidative stress
Picroliv® Picrorhiza kurroa root extract, containing antioxidant kutkin that scavenge alcohol-induced excess free radicals, and stimulate regeneration of cells (hepatocytes)*
Barley grass powder extract, which enhances the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, thus inhibiting the formation of acetaldehyde malondialdehyde
Taking the proper supplements before and after drinking can substantially protect liver cells.*
Trans-resveratrol [from whole red grape (Vitis vinifera)
and Polygonum cuspidatum (root) extracts] [also supplying
resveratrol glycosides (polydatin)]

AntiOxidant Naturally 60 Capsules - The word antioxidant has confused many people. On the one hand oxygen is obligatory to sustain life, but it can occur in a reactive form (free radicals) that can damage many body tissues by a process of oxidation. This circumstance is called “oxidative stress”. Antioxidants work against the occurrence of oxidative stress by mopping up reactive forms of oxygen (free radicals).
Fibrinogen Resist 30 - Since 1996, Life Extension has warned about the lethal dangers of excess fibrinogen, an inflammatory protein produced by the liver. Studies appearing in the world's most prestigious medical journals indicate that excess fibrinogen is a strong predictive mortality factor.
Astaxanthin 2mg 30 Softgels Source Naturals - Source Naturals Astaxanthin is a natural concentrate of marine algae Haematococcus pluvialis, which is cultivated in the warm waters of Hawaii.
Cinnulin PF® Cinnamon & CoffeeBerry® Forte - High blood sugar is implicated in the development of health problems. Few people realize, however, that even health conscious adults can experience higher than desired blood sugar levels as they age.
Peak Atp With Glycocarn 60 Cap - The endothelium is the thin barrier that separates circulating blood from the smooth muscle interior of the artery. Healthy endothelial cells help to maintain a normal cardiovascular system.
Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer without Wheat Sprouts 120 Caps - Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer incorporates the tremendous advances in our knowledge about the importance of maintaining mitochondrial integrity as we age. Scientists now know that mitochondrial decay in aging is a major driving force behind the aging process.
Thiodipropionic Acid 100 Grams Powder - Thiodipropionic acid is a secondary antioxidant that can be taken as a supplement or added as a preservative to foods, drinks or oils prone to oxidation.
Super-Absorbable CoQ10™ with d-Limonene, 50 mg 60 softgels - Life Extension's new Super Absorbable CoQ10™ with d-Limonene is a super-emulsified formulation that significantly increases the amount of CoQ10 absorbed. d-Limonene is a natural compound in orange oil that disperses and breaks down the CoQ10 particles, which reduces their size and makes CoQ10 more absorbable by the body.
Super Ubiquinol CoQ10, 50 mg 30 softgels - When it comes to choosing a CoQ10 supplement, the primary factor is how many swallowed milligrams actually make it into your bloodstream. Coenzyme Q10 is a notoriously difficult nutrient to absorb. A recent study showed that in seriously ill patients, conventional ubiquinone CoQ10 was hardly detectable in the blood, whereas the new ubiquinol resulted in significant blood level increases and subsequent clinical improvements.
