The Case for Multiple Antioxidants Research has repeatedly shown that a variety of antioxidants taken together boosts the free radial scavenging power of each. A profound synergism occurs which allows each ingredient to quench more free radicals than it could if working alone. Life Preserver lets you take advantage of this synergism among antioxidants by conveniently combining multiple important antioxidants in a balanced formula appropriate for daily use.
It is valuable to blend so many antioxidants in one product because different antioxidants work in different media and in different locations throughout the human body. For example, both tocotrienols and tocopherols (Vitamin E complex) function at the cell membrane level. However, once vitamin E has assumed a position in the cell membrane, it stays there, catching free radicals that bump into it. Tocotrienols, in contrast, are highly mobile, seeking out free radicals as they migrate quickly throughout the cell membrane.
