Antioxidants can help to reduce oxidative stress in our bodies, helping to preserve cell integrity and overall health. Without a diet rich in antioxidants, we are more prone to the common chronic diseases that plague modern society.
Antioxidants are molecules that help to prevent damaging oxidation that occurs in our bodies as a result of reactive molecules called free radicals, produced in excess by pollution, radiation, fried/burnt foods, sunlight and some cellular metabolism. Damaging oxidation is called oxidative stress and is associated with illness, premature ageing and general biological stress.
Supplementing the diet with a high-quality, wide-spectrum antioxidant is considered to be one of the most important things that we can nutritionally take to maintain optimum health. In fact, Patrick Holford says in his book The Optimum Nutrition Bible that, "Since the 1980s more and more research has confirmed that many of the twentieth century's most common diseases are associated with a shortage of antioxidant nutrients, and helped by their supplementation."
Premier CoQ10 from Premier Research Labs is a naturally fermented CoQ10 that contains the more effective trans isomeric form of this vital nutrient for advanced cariovascular, nerve, brain and immune support.
Coenzyme Q-10 is a very powerful antioxidant that plays a vital role in some of the most important biological pathways in the body, including those involved with energy production. It also protects for cell membranes. (For more information on CoQ10, Wikipedia.) This coenzyme , which is also called ubiquinone, is converted in the body to ubiquinol, which is its active biological form. As we age, the ability of the body to convert CoQ10 to ubiquinol decreases.
Premier Research Labs' Premier CoQ10 provides a natural fermentation-derived fat-soluble ubiquinone in the trans isomeric form, making it more effective than most other CoQ10 supplements on the market. The manufacture of Premier CoQ10 does not use polysorbate 80 (an emulsifier made from polyethoxylated sorbitan), undesirable flowing agents or other excipients.
Premier Research Labs' Premier CoQ10 is suitable for vegans and contains no magnesium stearate.

Turmeric is ground from the root of the Curcuma longa L. plant (see picture below), a member of the ginger family which grows wild in the Himalayas and across South Asia. This yellow/orange spice plays a central role in ethnic cuisine in those areas, giving the traditional dishes of these regions their characteristic yellow colour. This spice has been a component of Ayurvedic medicinal systems of India, China, Tibet and the Middle East for over 2000 years.
By finely mixing the curcumin either with curcuminoid oils or with a phospholipid medium to produce curcumin liposomes, the curcumin is surrounded by fats. This increases the absorption substantially, but the resulting mixture is not ideally stable and requires a large ratio of oil molecules to curcumin molecules to make it effective.
Oxygen is vital to life, but a side-effect of oxygen metabolism can be cellular damage, which over time, can lead to deterioration of the body. Normally these side effects of oxygen metabolism, caused by very reactive intermediary molecules called free radicals, are neutralized by antioxidants -- substances that prevent reactive molecules burning or oxidising other molecules. Some of the antioxidants we need are naturally produced by our bodies, but the rest are sourced from our diets. This is why doctors and nutritionists recommend a diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits as these can be good sources of antioxidants. However, chemicals in the environment, stress, poor diets and alcohol can create huge amounts of free radicals and also reduce the dietary antioxidant levels necessary to neutralize them, which can lead to dangerous levels of cellular oxidation.
