Living A Healthy Life As You Age
ProTect has one of the highest antioxidant ratings available, with 3,000 ORAC* per serving. This liquid formula's focus is on the highly regarded nutrient Resveratrol, an organic compound often referred to as the "fountain of youth" molecule.
What is Resveratrol? Found in the skin of grapes, Resveratrol belongs to a class of antioxidants produced by the plant to protect against infection. Numerous studies have shown Resveratrol lowers cholesterol, particularly the bad LDL kind, and shows great promise in helping stave off heart disease and cancer.
Research shows that daily supplementation with Resveratrol could offset the unhealthy, high calorie diet thought to underlie the rising toll of obesity and heart disease in the United States and elsewhere. Harvard researchers recently announced that Resveratrol also seems to have a more far-reaching effect: It mimics the effects of caloric restriction, the only proven strategy for lengthening life.
A Drink To Your Health: ProTect Yourself Today!
There's a definite appeal of supplementing your diet daily with ProTect, and Resveratrol specifically. Research suggests it does so many wonderful things, including extending healthy life. Pro Image provides the most recent advances in science to improve your prospects for good health and quality of life as you age.
In addition to Resveratrol, ProTect contains many other beneficial polyphenols (antioxidants) found naturally in the grape and in red wine. It contains 87 mg of standardized Resveratrol, plus our proprietary liquid formula supplies 5,700 mg of grape antioxidant blend from all key healthful components in a single serving, including; Grape Skin Extract, Grape Seed Extract and Red Wine Extract.
What Is Resveratrol?
Research on it is making headlines and creating a buzz.
Found in the skin of grapes, Resveratrol belongs to a class of antioxidants produced by the plant to protect against infection. Numerous studies have shown resveratrol lowers cholesterol, particularly the bad LDL kind, and very likely helps stave off heart disease and cancer.
Research shows that daily supplementation with Resveratrol could offset the unhealthy, high calorie diet thought to underlie the rising toll of obesity and heart disease in the United States and elsewhere.
The French Paradox
Battling heart disease, obesity, and so much more.
Resveratrol, as well as the other polyphenols in wine, is thought to account in large part for the so-called French Paradox. The French Paradox is the puzzling fact that people in France enjoy a high fat diet yet suffer less heart disease than Americans.
The rate of coronary heart disease mortality in France is lower than observed in other industrialized countries with a similar risk factor profile, and this has been attributed to the frequent consumption of red wine.
Ever since researchers decided that drinking red wine was what allowed the French to eat a high-fat diet and still avoid heart disease, they have been homing in on the rich stew of phytochemicals found in every glass of the vine. Chief among them is Resveratrol, a potent antioxidant that seems particularly adept at scavenging free radicals.
Researchers decided early on that Resveratrol was the secret ingredient behind the French Paradox because of its ability to protect the heart from oxidized fat.
Continuing Research Proves The Benefits of Resveratrol
Since the brain consists largely of fat and fatty acids, other scientists reasoned that it would need the same protection as that found in the French Paradox. In fact, researchers have discovered that Alzheimer's progresses as an abnormally high level of free radicals - a condition called oxidative stress - kills brain cells.
A study in 2003 demonstrated that Resveratrol lowered the level of oxidative stress in brain cells, and two recent studies in the Journal of Biological Chemistry suggest that Resveratrol may offer protection from the disease. Alas, neither of these studies suggests that you can ingest enough Resveratrol by drinking red wine or by eating any of the natural sources of the flavonoid - grapes, peanuts, and some berries. You can, however, take a standardized extract of Resveratrol as a supplement with ProTect.
Research already published about Resveratrol and its many benefits, includes; how it protects against coronary heart disease, protects DNA from free-radical damage, elevates the HDL "good" cholesterol, and controls insulin resistance. The properties of Resveratrol are currently being intensely studied in major laboratories as a potential breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes.
Also, pathologists at the University of Washington say that Resveratrol has been shown to prevent damage to liver tissue; the compound could be staving off age-related diseases by keeping the liver healthy.
Resveratrol seems to confer protective effects across a wide range of animals, leading to hopes that it might prove a potent boon for humans as well. Research has clearly shown that its supplementation with food extends vertebrate life span and delays motor and cognitive age-related decline which could be of high relevance for the prevention of aging-related diseases in the human population.
Resveratrol is the ingredient in red wine that made headlines in November 2006 when scientists demonstrated that it kept overfed mice from gaining weight, turned them into the equivalent of Olympic marathoners, and seemed to slow down their aging process. Few medical discoveries have generated so much instant buzz.
Why ProTect?
- Highly concentrated: In one ounce of juice you’re getting the amount of Resveratrol found in huge quantities of red wine and raw grapes. It becomes much easier to get the larger amounts of active ingredients needed for health purposes and, considering how many glasses of wine or grapes you would have to consume, it is virtually impossible to get these otherwise.
- Convenient: Drinking the juice is an excellent and easy way to ensure that you’ll receive the daily benefits. It’s easy for most folks to take 30 seconds to drink an ounce of juice.
- Easily assimilated: Your body quickly and easily absorbs the juice; the active ingredients go right to work without needing hours of digestion.
*Developed by USDA scientists, ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a test that measures the antioxidant activity of a supplement or food.
