Thione Complex™ • A combination of synergistic antioxidants that replicates the body’s own antioxidant defense system. • In specific targeted delivery systems, the complex helps the body replenish the antioxidant stores to help combat free radical damage caused by various elements such as alcohol, smoke, smog and the Sun. • The synergy of the complex helps regenerate oxidized antioxidants into their natural state, thereby boosting the immune system.
SALAD BAR SYNERGY “Part of the Reason Fruits and Vegetables Are Better for You Than Isolated Nutrients May Be Due to the Interaction Between Nutrients…” Many Nutrition Experts Are Coming to Believe That Beta-carotene, Vitamin C and Other Nutrients Have Faltered in Clinical Trials Because They Need Their NUTRIENT PARTNERS to Work… “It’s Like Fred Without Ginger, Laurel Without Hardy…” The Harvard Health Letter October, 2000
Our OXYGEN Environment • Evolution: • From Sea to Earth: The Paradox of Life • Oxygen Supports Life but Generates Toxic Free Radical Species Responsible for Oxidative Damage to the Body and Chronic Diseases • Theory of Aging: • Denham Harman (1956) • Reactive Oxygen/Free Radical Species • Cellular Antioxidant Stores • Oxidative Stress
Decreased Tissue Glutathione in Senescence Aedes aegypti (Yellow Fever Mosquito) • GSH Feeding: • Life Span From 29 to 40 Days • GSH Levels From 50 – 100% • Confirms Hypothesis of GSH Deficiency as • Biochemical Mechanism of Aging • Nutritional GSH Repletion Increases Longevity
Functional Foods and Beverages • Fortification with ingredients documented benefits to health • Adds nutritional value • Scientific verification • Compatible with foodstuffs or drinks • Excellent tasty flavor • Cost effective • Increased shelf life
Thione Complex™ in a cap for bottled waters • Boosts the immune system • Neutralizes toxic free radicals • Decreases “oxidative stress” • Augments natural defenses • Regenerates vitamins C y E • Protects cell structure and function • Anti-inflammatory and anti-viral • Anti-aging and anti-carcinogenic
Flavor Infusion Cap and Thione Complex™ are patent protected • Contains: • Antioxidants micro-encapsulated • L-glutathione • L-selenomethionine • Probiotics, vitamins and minerals • Flavored water sweetened with corresponding color • Xylitol, a non-caloric sweetener with benefits to oral cavity
Antioxidants in Probiotics: Rx Intestinal Infections • Improves clinical outcome • ↑Increases absorption of water & electrolytes • Anti-inflammatory • ↑Increases immune defenses IgA • Neutralizes bacterial toxins • Decreases number of pathogenic bacteria and replaces intestinal micro-flora • Helps normalize gastro- intestinal functions, decreasing diarrheal syndromes
Antioxidants and Probiotics as Cosmetics • Clinical and laboratory studies have demonstrated that the oral ingestion of antioxidants and probiotics improve skin’s natural defenses • Reduces noxious effects of ultra violet radiation • ↑ Glutathione and Selenium increase skin cells resistance to sun rays and tobacco smoke • Complements topical compositions
