C24/7 NATURA-CEUTICALS

Actual Blister Box

NATURA-CEUTICALS is an advance formulation food supplement that was reinforced with 5 anti-aging/anti-oxidant enhancers (Cysteine HCl, Quercetin, concentrated grape skin extract, Green Tea and Co-Enzyme Q10) and 4 Polyphenols (Japanese knotweed, Red wine, Grape seed and concentrated red wine powder)

Now what are these anti-aging/anti-oxidants enhancers?

Cysteine: Although classified as a non-essential amino acid, in rare cases, cysteine may be essential for infants, the elderly, and individuals with certain metabolic disease or who suffer from malabsorption syndromes. Cysteine can usually be synthesized by the human body under normal physiological conditions if a sufficient quantity of methionine is available. Cysteine is catabolized in the gastrointestinal tract and blood plasma[citation needed]. In contrast, cystine travels safely through the GI tract and blood plasma and is promptly reduced to the two cysteine molecules upon cell entry

Some studies reveals that Cysteine can act as expectorant and can increase glutathione anti-oxidants in the body, probably why a number of cigarette companies used this an additive for their products, and it was proposed that it can reduce the toxic effects of alchohol.

Quercetin: is a plant-derived flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables, leaves and grains. Quercetin is used for treating conditions of the heart and blood vessels including “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis), high cholesterol, heart disease, and circulation problems. It is also used for diabetes, cataracts, hay fever, peptic ulcer, schizophrenia, inflammation, asthma, gout, viral infections, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), preventing cancer, and for treating chronic infections of the prostate. Quercetin is also used to increase endurance and improve athletic performance.

Grape Skin Extract: Grape skin is said to contain at least 50-100 micrograms of Resveratrol per gram, a powerful anti-oxidant have been positively linked to inhibiting any cancer, heart disease, degenerative nerve disease, viral infections and mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease.

Protection of the genome through antioxidant actions may be a general function of resveratrol. In laboratory studies with mice, resveratrol bears a significant transcriptional overlap with the beneficial effects of calorie restriction in heart, skeletal muscle and brain. Both dietary interventions inhibit gene expression associated with heart and skeletal muscle aging, and prevent age-related heart failure.

Green Tea extract (EGCG) : Basically green tea contains The cardinal antioxidative ingredient in the green tea extract is green tea catechins (GTC), which comprise four major epicatechin derivatives; namely, epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). But Nutura-ceuticals had a higher EGCG content.

EGCG is a potent antioxidant that may have therapeutic applications in the treatment of many disorders (e.g. cancer). It has been the subject of a number of studies investigating its potential use as a therapeutic for a broad range of disorders:

– HIV: There has been lots of research investigating the benefit of EGCG from green tea in the treatment of HIV infection, where EGCG has been shown to reduce plaques related to AIDS-related dementia in the laboratory, as well as block gp120.However, these effects have yet to be confirmed in live human trials, and it does not imply that green tea will cure or block HIV infection, but it may help regulate viral load as long as it is not involved in adverse drug reactions. The concentrations of EGCG used in the studies could not be reached by drinking green tea. More study into EGCG and HIV is currently underway.

– Cancer : There is increasing evidence to show that EGCG – along with other flavonoids – can be beneficial in treating brain, prostate, cervical and bladder cancers. EGCG has been shown to bind and inhibit the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xl, which has been implicated in both cancer cell and normal cell survival.

– Chronic fatigue syndrome : According to research led at Panjab University Chandigarh, EGCG is effective against in different weight loaded, water immersion stress and immunogen-induced chronic fatigue syndrome. Research results may suggest that EGCG can activate the body’s defense system against TNF-alpha proteins, TGF- beta proteins which are involved in systemic inflammation.

– Sjögren’s syndrome:
According to the research led at Medical College of Georgia, EGCG may help protect against some autoimmune diseases, including Sjögren’s syndrome. Research results may suggest that EGCG (e.g., in green tea) can activate the body’s defense system against TNF-alpha proteins, which are involved in systemic inflammation.

– Endometriosis: Xu et al. found that the antiangiogenic effects of EGCG inhibit the growth of blood vessels and thus reduce lesion size in experimental endometriosis (mouse model).

– Spinal muscular atrophy: Sakla and Lorson found that EGCG increases the number of SMN transcripts in spinal muscular atrophy cells, most probably through modulation of alternative splicing.

– Neurodegeneration: EGCG is a natural chelator and has been shown to reduce iron-accumulation in instances of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s.

– Periapical lesions: There are data about theurapeutic potential of EGCG in periapical periodontitis.

Coenzyme Q10: According to the Mayo Clinic, “CoQ10 has been used, recommended, or studied for numerous conditions, but remains controversial as a treatment in many areas.” Coenzyme Q10, in its reduced form as solubilized ubiquinol, is approved for use as an orphan product in the treatment of Huntington’s disease and pediatric congestive heart failure; other uses are still unproven, including in the treatment of high triglycerides levels and athletic performance

Now what are these Polyphenols?

Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds found in the skin and seeds of grapes. When wine is made from these grapes, the alcohol produced by the fermentation process dissolves the polyphenols contained in the skin and seeds. Red wine contains more polyphenols than white wine because the making of white wine requires the removal of the skins after the grapes are crushed. The phenols in red wine include catechin, gallic acid, and epicatechin.

Polyphenols have been found to have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from oxidative damage caused by molecules called free radicals. These chemicals can damage important parts of cells, including proteins, membranes, and DNA. Cellular damage caused by free radicals has been implicated in the development of cancer. Research on the antioxidants found in red wine has shown that they may help inhibit the development of certain cancers. (source: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/prevention/redwine )

Now with these Polyphenols and anti-oxidant enhancers, the old Complete Phyto-Energizer becomes the more potent NATURA-CEUTICALS, giving you all the nutrients you need to keep your body both healthy and strong and the same time protected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
