There are 12 Super foods and 2 super Antioxidants taken together which may benefit our health and eliminate 3 of our greatest concerns: weight gain, ageing skin and problematic/acne prone skin.
Lipovox was born after Oprah interviewed a world-renowned skin doctor, Dr Perriconeon her show, and from then on Lipovox took America by storm!
Lipovox UK contains extracts from 12 Super food and 2 antioxidants in one easy to swallow vegetarian capsule (not gelatine). Is there an easier way!
Brazilian Acai Berry: Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil and hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. It contains a remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature ageing, 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthcyanins of red wine. An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, C, E, Potassium, Fibre, Proteins, Phosphorous, and Calcium. It is vital for proper muscle contraction and regeneration. It is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid which is important for a number of reasons, containing Omegas 6 and 9. Thus helping Omega 3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane: together they make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membranes supple all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory stay, as we all know, inflammation causes ageing and illness.
Alfalfa Sprouts are a highly nutritious food. There are a great many reasons to eat sprouts. As we age, our body's ability to produce enzymes declines. Sprouts are a concentrated source of the living enzymes and "life force". Additionally, due to their high enzyme content, sprouts are also much easier to digest than the seed or bean from which they come. The fibres and chemicals in Alfalfa stick to cholesterol, keeping it from staying in the blood. Chemicals in Alfalfa have mild diuretic properties, which may promote the loss of water from the body.
Barley: Not only is barley a low-glycemic grain, it is high in both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre helps the body metabolise fats, cholesterol and carbohydrates, and lowers blood cholesterol levels. Barley provides high concentrations of tocotrienols, the "super" form of Vitamin E. It is said to alleviate diabetes. Barley is natural appetite suppressant.
Buckwheat: Usually thought of as a grain, buckwheat is actually the seed of a broadleaf plant related to rhubarb. It contains more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than grains. Its protein characteristics also enhance buckwheat's ability to reduce and stabilize blood sugar levels following meals, a key factor in preventing diabetes and obesity.
Cayenne Pepper is good for the digestive, heart and circulatory system. Studies have also shown that it has the ability to increase the rate of metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Additional research also indicates that cayenne increases production of epinephrine and norepinephrine which together decrease appetite. Cayenne peppers are high in antioxidant carotene and flavanoids and contain about twice the amount of vitamin C found in citrus fruits.
Flaxseed: If you want to dramatically control your weight with no hunger pangs and reduce the visible signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging skin, it is recommended that you "go nuts." Nuts and Seeds are so rich in appetite suppressing nutrients that they are a must have in any healthy diet. Flaxseeds are especially beneficial because of their remarkable fatty acid profile and rich source of lignans. As with Acai, flaxseed is a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids which are good for the heart.
Garlic Lowers total cholesterol (but raises HDL--"good"--cholesterol). It lessens the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), may lower blood pressure, may reduce the risk of blood clots, destroys infection-causing viruses and bacteria, produces more "natural killer" cells in the blood to fight infections, and enhances detoxification by reducing toxins
Green Tea Extract: Green tea helps in weight loss. Green tea has the ability to increase your body's rate of burning calories, raise your metabolism and enhance fat oxidation boosting your body's natural ability to burn fat. The super substance in green tea that really helps reduce body fat is polyphenols, commonly called catechins, which stimulate the body to effectively burn calories while decreasing body fat. More than 30% of green tea leaf consists of catechins, the best out of all the tea family. Catechins prevent extra weight gain by blocking the usual movement of sugar, also known as glucose, in fat cells. High levels of catechin polyphenols work with other beneficial compounds to intensify the body's level of fat oxidation, which is when heat is formed in the body by burning excess fat in the body as fuel. This class of phytoochemicals has 100 times the antioxidant punch of vitamin c. There has been much scientific research into the benefits of green tea in possibly being beneficial in preventing cancer and slowing down tumour growth.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a healthy bacterium found in high concentrations in Kefir and Yoghurt. It is also known as a Probiotic. In humans, probiotic microbes help the body's ongoing fight against infectious diseases by competing with the pathogens for food, nutrients and survival. This is why human breast milk is rich in nutritional factors that foster the growth of bifid bacteria, a beneficial bacterial family that keeps babies' intestinal ecosystems healthy and disease-resistant.
Salmon Oil Powder is by far the best source of long chain Omega 3 essential fatty acids, making it a unique protein food and a powerful anti-inflammatory. Salmon is the heart healthiest high protein food of all. It is a rare dietary source of DMAE, the natural human neurochemical proven to help improve muscle tone in the face, thereby reducing wrinkles. Researchers suspect that Omega 3's may block the production of anti-inflammatory substances linked to autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
Soybeans Isoflavones are naturally occurring plant compounds that are particularly concentrated in soybeans. Genistein, Daidzein and Glycitein are the major isoflavones found in soybeans and offer the most numerous health benefits. Soybeans are extremely beneficial in a "Smart Carb" diet because they rank low on the glycemic scale, which means that they do not cause the inflammatory, hunger-inducing spike in blood sugar levels, associated with refined grains and baked goods. Soy is high in fibre and protein and is one of the few plant foods that contain the proper balance of the 8 essential amino acids. It is used to improve many aspects of health including the heart, bones and for weight loss to name but a few.
Wheat grass has high chlorophyll content which increases the capability of the blood to transport oxygen throughout the body. It also has a high vitamin content which is known to benefit skin conditions such eczema, psoriasis and acne.
Alpha Lipoic Acid: ALA is a highly potent antioxidant that helps protect the mitochondria and the genetic material, DNA. As we age, mitochondrial function is impaired, and it's theorized that this is an important contributor to some of the adverse effects of aging. ALA also works closely with vitamin C and E and other antioxidants, "recycling" them and thus making them much more effective.
DMAE: - Dimethylaminoethanol - is an antioxidant and a precursor of the neurotransmitter Acetycholine (ACh). Acetycholine is responsible for feelings of well being and relaxation. It plays an important role in the onset of a dreaming state. Its effects on ageing and weight loss are well documented.
