Antioxidant Vitamins:
What Are Antioxidants?
The National Academy of Sciences identifies a dietary antioxidant
as “a substance in foods that significantly decreases
free radicals (e.g. reactive oxygen), and reactive nitrogen
substances (e.g. N-nitroso compounds). Vitamins C and E are
well-known antioxidants. As part of a well-balanced diet
that is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, daily intake
of at least 400 UG of folic acid, 3 mg of vitamin B6, and
5 UG of vitamin B12 may reduce the risk of vascular disease.
What ingredients in the A.C.T.™ energy drinks
have antioxidant properties?
The antioxidant vitamins in the A.C.T.™ drinks are
vitamin C, B3, B6 and B12. Guarana, Green Tea, Panax Ginseng,
Maca Root, and the fruit juice crystals are all whole-food
sources of antioxidants as well.
What are some of the structure functions of antioxidants?
- Antioxidants support and promote cellular longevity.
- Antioxidants promote healthy cardiovascular function.
- Antioxidants promote healthy immune system function.
- Antioxidants support and promote healthy eye function.
Potassium:
Potassium is an electrolyte, one of the essential minerals
that your body requires for proper metabolism and energy
use. The transfer of energy and electricity between neurons
and other cells depends on a proper balance of potassium
on both sides of the cell wall. In practical terms, potassium
is needed to help your body regulate blood pressure, convert
glucose to glycogen, and maintain healthy kidneys, heart
and liver, as well as helping to lower the risk of stroke.
What is the definition of an essential nutrient?
In addition to supplying energy and raw materials for metabolism,
a person’s diet must also supply certain substances
in a pre-assembled form. Nutrients that a human requires
but cannot make are known as “essential nutrients.” Missing
just one of these essential nutrients puts the body into
a state of being malnourished.
What potassium does:
Potassium helps regulate muscle contractions – including
heart contractions – through a series of complex chemical
and electrical interactions. Because it helps the body to
handle sodium, potassium helps maintain blood pressure within
acceptable ranges. It also is a catalyst in numerous metabolic
processes that keep the body working properly. Potassium
citrate helps to metabolize calcium by the body, helps maintain
healthy kidneys, and promotes proper bone health.
Where does potassium come from?
Potassium is found in numerous food sources, including bananas,
orange juice, potatoes, dried apricots, whole grains, meat,
fish, and dairy products.
What are the health benefits of potassium?
- Potassium promotes and maintains healthy blood pressure.
- Potassium supports a healthy cardiovascular system.
- Potassium promotes healthy bones.
- Potassium promotes healthy muscle function.
- Potassium promotes healthy lung function.
- Potassium promotes healthy kidney function.
