Extra Benefits:
Grape seed extract not only possesses antioxidant benefits, but is believed to provide powerful anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory benefits as well. Vinpocetine is purported to be very beneficial in helping prevent or relieve hearing loss due to a variety of causes, as well as tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and vertigo (sensation of dizziness).
PRODUCT DETAIL
Everything you do, including breathing, creates free radicals and when you exercise the amount increases dramatically. Excess free radicals can easily overwhelm your body's natural antioxidant defense systems, wreaking havoc on your athletic endeavors and, more importantly, your health. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, but merely taking some vitamin C and E won't cut it. You need as much antioxidant support as possible from a wide variety of sources.
Super AO's unique combination of herbal, enzyme, and amino acid antioxidants complements, but doesn't duplicate, the antioxidants you may already be taking. Super AO is designed to help protect your immune system, enhance circulation, and accelerate recovery, thus preserving all the hard-earned gains you make in training. The harder you train, the more you need Super AO in your recovery regimen.
The SUPER AO Formula
1.) SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD) is an enzyme and one of the powerful endogenous (that which occurs naturally in the body) antioxidants. It is responsible for neutralizing the most common free radical known as superoxide. It also aids the body's utilization of the minerals copper, zinc, and manganese. The enteric-coated form in Super AO, which allows the nutrient to pass intake through the stomach acid to be absorbed in the small intestines, is an easy way to supplement this vital antioxidant.
2.) GRAPE SEED EXTRACT is high in a substance called OPC, a flavinoid that is believed to be several times more potent than even Vitamin C and E. OPCs are responsible for neutralizing three types of free radicals. In addition, the OPCs in Grade Seed Extract help strengthen and repair connective tissue and are excellent anti-inflammatories.
3.) L-GLUTATHIONE is a protein that is produced in the liver from three specific amino acids. Along with the mineral selenium, it forms the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which, along with SOD, is one of the body's endogenous antioxidants, and perhaps the most important one of all. Glutathione is also part of another enzyme, which has liver protecting qualities. It protects individual cells as well as the tissues of nearly the entire body and is an important nutrient in helping with the prevention of cancer, particularly liver cancer.
4.) GINKGO BILOBA is an herb best known for its ability to enhance circulation and increase the supply of oxygen to the entire body. This allows it to help relieve muscle pain in addition to its antioxidant benefits. A potential benefit of increased circulation is the ability to speed delivery of antioxidants throughout the body in addition to helping eliminate metabolic wastes more quickly.
5.) GOTU KOLA is another herb that has antioxidant capabilities as well aiding in increasing circulation. It is helpful in decreasing fatigue and neutralizing blood acids and is useful for optimal heart and liver function.
6.) VINPOCETINE is chemically related to, and derived from vincamine, an alkaloid found in the periwinkle plant. Studies with vinpocetine indicate that it can dilate blood vessels, enhance circulation in the brain, improve oxygen utilization, make red blood cells more pliable, and inhibit aggregation of platelets. Vinpocetine also has antioxidant properties.
USAGE INFORMATION
For enhanced recovery take 1 or 2 capsules with food after workouts (use the higher dose after workouts over 2-3 hours and after races). For supporting enhanced cognitive function, 1 capsule of Super AO may be taken in the morning with food. For supporting enhanced performance (via free radical neutralization) during ultra distance workouts and races, Super AO may be used at a suggested intake of 1 capsule every 2-3 hours. Super AO may be used daily all year round.
