Phytoshield is a very potent and powerful phyto-antioxidant nutrient formula, containing high levels of flavonoids and carotenoids Phytoshield supplies 650mg mixed flavonoids and 15mg mixed carotenoids Each capsule has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score of 5,000 units. This shows exceptional antioxidant activity when you consider that 5 portions of fruit and vegetables yield only 1,500 ORAC units Carotenoids in plants and humans help to retain intracellular communication, protect against damage from UV light and particularly help to retain integrity in certain body tissues Flavonoids serve as protective nutrients in plant tissue to protect the plant (and in particular it’s DNA) against external threat, once consumed by humans they act in the same way Flavonoids come in differently coloured pigments, each with a differing protective action. For this reason Phytoshield contains flavonoids from the full colour spectrum and the most potent of each group Most flavonoids are water-soluble and are only stored in the body for short periods of time (around 48 hours). Hence it is important to have regular intake of these important nutrient groups Cytoplan Wholefood supplements are made from minerals that have been hydroponically-grown into a cruciferous vegetable (brassica) that is a member of the broccoli family of vegetables The brassica base also contains additional nutrients and acts as a food base to aid absorption of and metabolism of the nutrients Easy to take gluten-free capsules Suitable for Men, Women, Children and the Elderly Yeast free and suitable for Vegetarians, vegans and for people with Candida and Yeast sensitivities Free from Genetically Modified Substances
