Defend
your body at the cellular level and protect your good health
for a lifetime.
Fight off the damaging effects of free radicals with powerful antioxidants.
Our cells produce thousands of free radicals every day. Free radicals from
the environment occur as an effect of stress, pollution and unhealthy eating
habits. Oxidation is a damaging but essential process that our bodies create
to generate energy. Without proper nutrition, oxidation can contribute
to any number of debilitating diseases, including cancer, heart disease
and aging. Fortunately, we can protect our bodies with the super power
of antioxidants.
So what are antioxidants?
Antioxidants are chemical compounds that neutralize the effects of oxidation.
The best-known antioxidants are vitamins A, C and E, and the mineral selenium.
Often referred to as ACES, these antioxidants cannot be made by the body
and must be ingested. Foods such as fruits and vegetables are a terrific
source of antioxidant protection, but numerous Herbalife products offer
some the same incredible benefits. Formula 1 Protein Drink Mix,
Formula 2 Multivitamin-Mineral & Herbal Tablets and Schizandra Plus are
superb sources of vitamins A, C, E and selenium. RoseOx™, Triple
Berry Complex, Prelox® Blue, CarioToconOx® and Radiant
C™ Daily Skin Booster are also rich in antioxidants.
Antioxidants should be an essential part of your daily supplement regimen
and meal plan. The sheer power, variety and quality of Herbalife antioxidants,
when combined with healthy eating habits, can defend your entire body from
free radicals–and protect your health for years to come.
