As we grow older, the body finds it harder to deal with the daily stresses put upon it. Whether its from lack of exercise, pollution from sunlight, alcohol or cigarettes or what we eat, all these things will contribute to the production of cell damaging free radicals.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that interact with molecules within our cells and cause oxidative damage to our proteins, membranes and genes.

Oxidative damage has been cited as the principal cause of many diseases, and has been found to be a huge factor into the degradation of the body’s ability to repair DNA, control aging and failing to maintain a balanced and healthy immune system.

The western diet, which is rich in red meat, preservatives, antibiotics, growth hormones and chemical food additives contributes to oxidative stress and the breakdown of the body’s defenses. This is why a potent antioxidant is required to help deal with the production of free radicals and to help combat oxidative stress.

There are several well known super-fruits, with the largest antioxidant levels recorded. Some of them are:

• Apples -Their skin has one of the highest ORAC values of any polyphenol yet discovered.
• Goji Berry – Has a uniquely rich source of complex phyto-nutrients and bio-flavonoids.
• Pomegranate – Contains high ORAC and polyphenol values. This fruit produced a 32% increase in plasma antioxidant capacity in human trials.
• Mangosteen – Shown to have antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and pro immune system activity in studies since 2004.
• Grape Seed – A powerful proanthocyanidin with 400 times the effective antioxidant capacity of Vitamin E.

Now Biotivia, a world leading Bioceutical firm, has recognised the antioxidant power of these and added to them, Alpha Lipoic Acid and the ‘miracle molecule, Resveratrol, to create a supplement called Bio Quench.

James Betz, founder and CEO of Biotivia says: “Bio Quench was designed to mop up free radicals through a multi-faceted approach. The super-fruit extracts it contains works together with bio-enhanced Resveratrol and alpha lipoic acid, to prevent damage to the body’s cells, organs and DNA.”

Bio Quench works by neutralizing free radicals and providing your body with a first line of defense against reactive oxidative stress (ROS). It has been tested by Brunswick Laboratory, the leading authority on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) test, and it came back with a rating of 13,580, which is one of the highest for any supplement the lab has tested.

Betz continues: “Bio Quench sets a new standard for super antioxidants. Biotivia has eclipsed every other advanced antioxidant on the market. Our daily dose is equivalent to over 500 liters of pure, organic Pomegranate juice. No other product has the potency and antioxidant effectiveness of Bio Quench”
