Wassen Selenium ACE + Vitaberry 24 Tablets
Extensive scientific research shows that an adequate intake of the antioxidant mineral selenium and vitamins A, C and E play a part in all-round antioxidant protection against the damage caused to the body by excess free radicals and helps support the body’s own natural defences. Key Points and Benefits - In addition to the established antioxidant vitamins and minerals, Selenium-ACE with VitaBerry Plus contains the polyphenols, anthocyanins, ellagic acid and other antioxidants found naturally in fruit and vegetables. - Despite the acknowledged health benefits to be derived from fresh fruit and vegetables most people do not eat the recommended five portions per day. - Convenient one-a-day formula guaranteed to deliver the antioxidant equivalent of two portions of fruit and vegetables.
- Antioxidants are more effective when a wide variety of fruit and vegetable derived compounds are taken together rather than individually. What is an Antioxidant? Antioxidants help protect cells and tissues from damage by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), also known as ‘free radicals’. Free radicals are volatile, potentially toxic substances produced when we breathe and through exposure to sunlight, exhaust fumes, tobacco smoke and other pollutants as well as during infection and inflammation. Antioxidant nutrients are able to quench free radicals before they can damage cells or tissues. The more free radicals present, the greater the need for antioxidant nutrients in our diet. What is Selenium? Selenium is an essential trace mineral that plays an important role in human
nutrition. It was not until 1973 that the importance of selenium in a nutritional role was ascertained. Human studies around the world continue to show the key role that it plays in maintaining long-term health. Selenium can only be obtained through dietary intake. A healthy diet should form the basis of good nutrition. However, leading a busy life often makes eating regular, nutritionally balanced meals difficult. Selenium can be obtained from whole-wheat cereals, kidney, liver, shellfish, brazil nuts and oily fish. Over the past few years an increasing number of people have begun to obtain selenium from a nutritional supplement. Recent reports have revealed that selenium levels in the average person in the UK are only marginally adequate. This is largely because of a reduction in
the amount of selenium we get from our food - mainly due to a decrease in the use of North American wheat (high in selenium) for bread making. As a result, in the UK, the daily intake of selenium from the food we eat has declined from 60-63 mcg per day in the 1970s and 1980s to 29-39 mcg per day (reports by Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, 1997, 1999; Barclay et al 1995). This amount compares unfavourably with guidelines, known as the reference nutrient intake, of 75 mcg per day for men and 60 mcg per day for women (Report by Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy, 1991). What is VitaBerry Plus? VitaBerry Plus is a blend of concentrated fruit extracts and whole-fruit powders containing grapes, grape seed extract, bilberries, blueberries, cranberries,
cherries, raspberries and strawberries which provide nutritious, high-ORAC antioxidants. What does ORAC stand for? The Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity (ORAC) is the scientific standard for measuring the antioxidant potency of foods. Since most of the active nutritional components in fruits and vegetables are antioxidants, accurate measurement of antioxidant activity serves as a good indicator of potential health benefits.
