Antioxidants are a popular subject when it comes to long-term health. That’s because they fight oxidative stress—the cell-damaging process resulting from environmental pollutants and natural aging. With all the antioxidant products on the market, you want to make sure you are getting the nutrition you’re paying for.
Mega Antioxidant is a safe and advanced formula of powerful antioxidants in tablet form. It provides an unparalleled range of free-radical fighting antioxidants that can easily be added to your daily diet. Also, USANA has the only products on the market with the benefits of patented Olivol®. Taken daily combined with Chelated Mineral, Mega Antioxidant is part of the Essentials™ of great nutrition. New USANA customers start with the Essentials.
Daily stress and environmental pollutants bombard us with increasing levels of potentially damaging, highly reactive molecules called free radicals. Diets high in processed foods and low in whole, unrefined foods have increased the need for vitamins and antioxidant supplementation.
Mega Antioxidant offers advanced levels of highquality, highly bioavailable vitamins and antioxidants to meet this increased need. Mega Antioxidant also offers nutritional support for retaining sound cardiovascular function, healthy vision, a sound
immune system, and efficient energy metabolism.
Olivol – The Heart of the Olive
USANA’s patented extract provides highly bioavailable phenolic antioxidants that have been shown to protect low-density lipoproteins (LDL) from oxidation.
Vitamin E – The Premier Antioxidant
Vitamin E is a family of essential fat soluble nutrients (tocopherols and tocotrienols) that act as powerful antioxidants. D-alpha tocopherol is the natural form shown to have the greatest nutritional and biological value.
Vitamin E plays a critical role in protecting LDL and cell membranes from oxidation, and it works synergistically with other antioxidants to combat free-radical damage. Emerging science has shown that other tocopherols also provide important biological activities and therapeutic benefits. These mixed tocopherols help leverage the health benefits of alpha tocopherol with other vitamin E compounds to provide a broad spectrum of antioxidant
protection.
In addition to D-alpha tocopherol, USANA’s advanced formula offers a full range of these natural mixed tocopherols to provide you with additional antioxidant support.
USANA’S Unique Poly C Vitamin C Complex
USANA’s Poly C® is a complex of mineral ascorbates that helps to prolong vitamin C activity in the body. Vitamin C is the master water-soluble antioxidant, providing antioxidant activity.
Mixed Carotenoids
USANA uses a mixture of carotenoids, providing a broad spectrum of antioxidant protection. Beta carotene (provitamin A) promotes healthy skin, a strong immune system, and helps maintain good vision.
Mega Antioxidant includes the safe provitamin form of vitamin A, beta carotene, which naturally converts into vitamin A only as needed, giving you the benefits of vitamin A without the risk of toxicity.
In addition, lutein and lycopene are carotenoid antioxidants involved in protecting against free-radical damage in the eyes and other organs. Lutein selectively accumulates in tissues in the eye to help protect against damaging UV radiation. Lycopene supports health maintenance for many organs, including the lungs, skin, cervix, and prostate gland.
Coenzyme Q10
A potent antioxidant, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential for energy production in our cells. One of the most researched and well-accepted nutrients for cardiovascular health, CoQ10 is especially important for a strong cardiovascular system. The body’s ability to synthesize or absorb CoQ10 declines with age, but taking USANA’s Mega Antioxidant can help you maintain healthy levels of this important nutrient.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha lipoic acid is a vitamin-like antioxidant that is both fat- and watersoluble. In addition to acting as an antioxidant on its own, alpha lipoic acid can increase or maintain levels of other antioxidant compounds, such as glutathione and vitamin C.
Bioflavonoid Complex
Through our commitment to ongoing research, USANA has developed a unique broad-spectrum bioflavonoid complex. Bioflavonoids are a diverse group of naturally occurring plant compounds that exhibit a host of biological activities, most notably their powerful antioxidant properties that help complement, extend, and synergize the activities of other antioxidants.
In addition to synergistic activity from rutin, quercetin, and hesperidin, this diverse complex provides green-tea, bilberry, pomegranate, and cinnamon extracts to provide broad spectrum antioxidant support to further enhance and complement the effectiveness of Mega Antioxidant supplement.
Complete Vitamin B Complex
Mega Antioxidant contains carefully proportioned B-complex vitamins, which are fundamental to energy production, metabolism, growth, and maintenance of normal homocysteine levels, provided they are normal to begin with.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has stated, “All women of childbearing age in the United States who are capable of becoming pregnant should consume at least 400 µg of folic acid per day for the purpose of reducing their risk of having a pregnancy affected with spina bifida or other neural tube defects.” One daily dose of Mega Antioxidant contains 1,000 µg of folic acid. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the health of nerve cells, red blood cells, and DNA, the genetic material in all cells.
It has been generally accepted that older adults are at greater risk of developing a vitamin B12 deficiency than younger adults.
However, new research suggests that the prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency in young adults may be greater than previously thought, and those who do not take a supplement containing vitamin B12 are twice as likely to be vitamin B12 deficient as supplement users, regardless of age group. Mega Antioxidant supplies advanced levels of vitamin B12 at 200 µg in one daily dose.
