Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and ascorbyl palmitate)
Vitamin C donates electrons to neutralise free radicals and supports enzymatic reactions involved in collagen formation and cellular defence.
Caution: High doses may cause digestive discomfort; take with food and adequate water to reduce the chance of stomach upset.
N-Acetyl L-Cysteine
NAC supplies cysteine to help form glutathione, a key intracellular antioxidant involved in redox balance and detoxification processes.
Caution: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some people; avoid combining with nitroglycerin medicines as advised on the label.
Vitamin E (as succinate)
Vitamin E acts as a lipid-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes from oxidative damage.
Caution: High intakes may increase bleeding tendency, especially when used alongside blood-thinning agents.
Quercetin
Quercetin is a polyphenol that may modulate oxidative stress by influencing antioxidant enzymes and free radical activity.
Caution: May interact with some medicines by affecting metabolism; monitor for digestive discomfort if sensitive to polyphenols.
Silymarin (from milk thistle seed extract)
Silymarin contains flavonolignans that may support antioxidant defences in liver cells and influence cellular membrane stability.
Caution: People with plant allergies in the Asteraceae family should use caution due to potential sensitivity.
How they work together
This formula combines water-soluble antioxidants like vitamin C and NAC that feed glutathione pathways with lipid-soluble antioxidants such as vitamin E that protect cell membranes. Polyphenols including quercetin and silymarin add complementary free radical scavenging and enzyme-modulating actions. Together they cover multiple compartments of the body’s antioxidant network.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Do not use if taking prescription nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, breastfeeding, or regularly using medicines such as paracetamol, warfarin (Coumadin), or heparin, speak with a doctor before use.
Who should be cautious: Contains shellfish and soy; avoid if you have related allergies. People on anticoagulants or antiplatelet medicines should be cautious due to vitamin K and ginkgo content. Those on thyroid medicines may need to separate dosing from calcium, magnesium, and iron in the formula. If you have bleeding concerns, liver issues, or take medicines that affect the liver, discuss with a healthcare provider before use. If you use medicines that may interact with vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, or biotin lab tests, consult a healthcare provider before combining with medications that may cause interaction.
Storage: Keep out of the reach of children.
