ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants are required by the body to prevent damage from free radicals which cause disease and premature aging
It is necessary for the body to have adequate levels of free radical scavengers- ie Antioxidants such as Vitamin C A E and selenium.
The master Antiooxidant Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Unlike most mammals and other animals, humans do not have the ability to make their own vitamin C. Therefore, we must obtain vitamin C through our diet or supplementation of the diet is deficient.
Vitamin C also plays an important role in the synthesis of collagen – a component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bones. It is also important for the manufacture of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine which has an important effect on stabilising mood.
Vitamin C can protect indispensable molecules in the body, such as proteins, lipids (fats), carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species that can be generated during normal
metabolism as well as through exposure to toxins and pollutants
Antioxidants aid in the defence of the immune system against harmful free radicals such as those found in:
- Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide sulphur dioxide Carbon monoxide and ozone and other airborne pollutants such as cadmium and lead. Harmful effects of these pollutants are known to cause lung and lung disease 1 2 3 4
- Agricultural chemicals such as artificial pesticides herbicides fungicides which are metabolized by liver enzymes requiring antioxidant status to be optimal 5
- Industrial chemicals such as solvents, cleaning agents
- Infectious organisms 6
Vitamin C affects several components of the human immune system; for example, vitamin C has been shown to stimulate both the production 7 - 13 and function 14 15 of leukocytes (white blood cells), especially neutrophils, lymphocytes, and phagocytes. 8
Because maximizing blood levels of vitamin C may be important in protection
against oxidative damage to cells and biological molecules, a vitamin C intake of at least 400 mg daily is particularly important for older adults who are at higher risk for chronic diseases caused, in part, by oxidative damage, such as heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, and cataract 16

CLINICAL RESEARCH ABOUT ANTIOXIDANTSand other trace element deficiencies AND THE RESPIRATORY TRACT
In a group of 300 asthmatics, ECOLOGY MEDICINE Respiratory Formula has been shown to reduce symptoms of asthma including wheeze, cough and shortness of breath by 90%. It was also shown that amongst the asthmatic group there was a dramatic reduction to nil hospital admissions due to asthma 1
Vitamin C is the most common Antioxidant found in the lining of the lungs and respiratory tract and will protect the lungs from free radical damage due tom exposure to air pollutants such as cigarette fumes and air pollution. It also stimulates the production of white blood cells primarily the neutrophils thus preventing infections of the respiratory tract
Asthma has many causes- infectious triggers, allergy to foods chemicals and airborne allergens 2, temperature changes and exercise. Damage to the respiratory system occurs due to free radicals which cause oxidation. Vitamin C has been shown to prevent the severity of the common cold 3 4

MINERALS- Calcium Boron Magnesium and zinc are the main ones
The intake of dairy products may give a false sense of security with relation to the prevention of osteoporosis –which is known to be associated also with deficiency of calcium, boron, magnesium and Vitamin DK and silica. The 12 year Harvard nurses study found that in 78,000 nurses, conventionally farmed cows milk had no effect at all on prevention of bone fractures 1
There have been many studies done on benefits of mineral supplementation. The particular form of mineral used is very important. Calcium citrate has been shown to avert bone loss 2. Together with magnesium and boron there is an even more powerful response in strengthening bone and ligamentous tissue 3
Arthritis and joint aches are associated with mineral deficiency 4
Boron has been found to reduce the excretion of magnesium and calcium and
shown to play a major role in thyroid disease and is essential to the metabolism of copper 5
Chronic muscle fatigue and muscular cramps has been associated with the build up of lactic acid due to magnesium deficiency and supplementation with magnesium has been found to be of benefit 6
Cardiac function has been shown to improve with magnesium supplementation both for prevention of ischaemic heart disease and artherosclorosis which causes stroke 7
The supplementation of magnesium in patients with asthma has been shown to be of great benefit in reducing the length and severity of the asthma attack 8
Use of selenium has been shown to be beneficial in inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis 9 and to prevent oxidative stress which causes such diseases as arthritis 10
The toxic effects of cadmium have been found to be reduced by zinc supplementation 11

MINERALS- ZINC
The best form of zinc for absorption is as an Amino acid chelate
Zinc is involved a wide variety of body processes and as a part of at least 300 enzyme systems and therefore has a multitude of effects on the body.
Signs of zinc deficiency include growth retardation, hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation and impotence & sperm production, eye and skin lesions, and loss of appetite 1
Human milk does not provide recommended amounts of zinc for older infants between the ages of 7 months and 12 months 1
Therefore supplementation may be necessary to adequately supply levels for immune system regulation. Zinc also helps to maintain healthy skin and is widely used to facilitate healing of many skin conditions including acne psoriasis and excema. Zinc is important for wound healing and supplements are often given to help heal skin ulcers or bed sores 2
Zinc assists immune function 3
Zinc is necessary for the functioning of more than 300 different enzymes and plays a vital role in an
enormous number of biological processes. Zinc is a cofactor for the antioxidant enzyme superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and is in a number of enzymatic reactions involved in carbohydrate and protein
metabolism. Zinc has been found to be of assistance in Cognitive performance and memory of children exposed to the heavy metal lead 4.
Toxicity
According to The Institute of Medicine intakes of 150 to 450 mg of zinc per day have been associated with low copper status, altered iron function.

AMINO ACIDS are the building blocks of protein.
Many of the amino acids act as precursors for the neurotranmitters which are important for transmission of nerve impulses between the brain and central nervous system and tissue
An important neurotransmitter is serotonin. L Tryptophan is important in the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin which plays an important role in emotion, sleep and appetite and thus is implicated in the control of numerous behavioural and physiological functions 1.
The central nervous system undergoes several dynamic changes during sleep Subcortical structures in the brain involved in sleep are mediated by three major neurotransmitters-norepinephrine, serotonin, and acetylcholine. Sleep is essential for good memory 2 . Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain in response to darkness. Melatonin is made available when tryptophan is converted to serotonin and then enzymatically converted to melatonin in the pineal gland 3
Tryptophan deficiency has been linked to migraine 4 and high suicide rates 4 5depression anxiety and poor macrophage production 6
Serotonin is important for regeneration of liver tissue 7 and preliminary research shows serotonin is important in modulating the swinging moods in prementsrtual syndrome 8
The amino acid L Glutamine is needed for protein synthesis required for muscle growth, regulation of acid-base balance in the kidney: it act as an oxidative fuel for the intestine and cells of the immune system, provides inter-organ nitrogen transport, and act as precursors of neurotransmitter synthesis, of nucleotide and nucleic acid synthesis and of glutathione production. Glutathione is a very important antioxidant Many of these functions are interrelated with glucose metabolism.9
Symptoms of protein deficiency, you may notice impaired wound healing (i.e. a cut or sore that just won't heal), oedema (fluid collection) in your hands and feet or abdomen, decreased muscle mass, lethargy and fatigue.
L Leucine is the most common amino acid found in proteins: it is essential for optimal growth in infancy and childhood. Together with Arginine and Ornithine it has been found that these amino acids are essential to the repair of tissue in burns patients 10
Boron- an amino acid chelate- assists the body to assimilate amino acids has been shown to improve cognitive function 10
During exercise the Amino acids L-glutamine 11 and L-arginine 12 have been shown to improve exercise tolerance.

AMINO ACID - L CARNITINE
Muscular activity is dependent on the body’s ability to convert essential fatty acids into energy. Carnitine is essential for this conversion
The body can produce small amounts of carnitine in the liver and kidneys. It is stored in skeletal muscles and the heart. Adequate Vitamin C is essential for the metabolism of L Carnitine.
L Carnitine protects cells from peroxidative damage 1 and has been found to be deficient and may be useful in the treatment of

AMINO ACIDS –L TYROSINE
L tyrosine
L tyrosine is primarily found in meat products. Supplementation may be of assistance for vegetarians
L-tyrosine can be converted by neurons in the brain to the catecholamines dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) which are depleted by stress, overwork and certain drugs. By replenishing norepinephrine in the brain, mental energy levels are enhanced enabling a feeling of contentment. L tyrosine supplementation may assist when catecholamines become depleted as a consequence of chronic stress.
This has been shown in a double blind placebo controlled study in which the administration of 100mg daily offered protection from adverse consequences of physical stress (exposure to cold and hypoxia). L Tyrosine significantly decreased symptoms such as adverse mood and performance impairment 1. Other studies including those alerted in Journal of Alternative medicine review confirm that supplementation of L tyrosine in lager doses than dietary intake can offer improve mood and allow adaptation to stress 3.
Animal studies have shown preventative effects of L tyrosine supplementation on stress induced depletion of norepinephrine and resultant behavioural depression 2 .
Studies show that L tyrosine can enhance cognitive function and decrease blood pressure under stressful circumstances 4 5.

SPIRULINA
Spirulina is an aquatically grown micro-algae, which takes its energy directly from the sun and water.
In nature , Spirulina actually produces oxygen in the oceans . Spirulina can be grown and harvested and used as an excellent plant food for humans too! It has been shown that Spirulina can assist oxygen production in humans
Spirulina contains high levels of easily absorbed natural antioxidants including chlorophyll, phycocyanin and betacarotene. These are the best natural cell protectors we can get and are especially important with our modern lifestyle and the environmental pollutants and stresses we are subjected to every day.
Spirulina is approximately 65 - 70% protein which is comprised of amino acids. Amino acids specifically related to weight loss include phenylalanine, valine and arginine, which assist in reducing the appetite by inducing a full or satisfied feeling. No hunger pangs! Also, craving for calorie-loaded sweets is reduced by Spirulina's levels of chromium, which has a valuable role in metabolising sugars. Please use in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet for optimum results. Standard Government dissolution tests show that Spirulina in tablet form can take up to 10 times longer to dissolve than fast-acting capsules. Spirulina in capsules or powder offers the advantage of lower daily amounts and faster results. SLIMMERS... Swear by Spirulina saying it helps them to eat lighter and feel satisfied. ENERGY AND ENDURANCE... Athletes through to parents and executives report increased stamina and performance. IRON AND VITAMIN B12 are found in abundant levels in Spirulina Platensis
Spirulina is of benefit to vegetarians or those on restricted diets. Extensive research has proven Spirulina to be a natural treasure trove of synergistic organic nutrients including betacarotene, vitamin B12, iron, chromium, selenium and essential fatty acids (GLA).
