More than Ingredients Make Cellgevity Unique

It’s more than the combination of ingredients that make Cellgevity unique. Its the reason why these ingredients have been used. Other glutathione precursors can help boost your body’s level of glutathione but as far as I know, it’s only Cellgevity that includes extra ingredients to support glutathione’s ability to work effectively in your body.

Ingredients

RiboCeine

RiboCeine is the subject of twenty peer-reviewed published, scientific studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and others. Developed by Herbert T. Nagasawa, Ph.D.,RiboCeine has demonstrated that it can effectively deliver cysteine to the cells and enable them to produce the optimal levels of glutathione.

Based on a combination of two nutrients that are naturally found in the human body – Ribose and Cysteine, RiboCeine is activated by the body’s cells to release On Demand and effectively deliver the Cysteine necessary for optimal glutathione production, directly to your cells. RiboCeine has outperformed every other means of glutathione enhancement against which it has been tested. Read More

ALA-Alpha Lipoic Acid

The Alpha Lipoic Acid Molecule

Acid Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant known to combat various forms of oxidative stress and to recycle other antioxidants. Lipoic acid is a naturally produced in the body and used by both animals and plants. Together with glutathione, they protect the fat and water portions of the cells from different types of free radicals.

As a nutritional supplement, Alpha Lipoic Acid seems to boost insulin sensitivity, and could be particularly helpful in addressing metabolic syndrome. It also acts with B vitamins to aid in the creation of energy from the proteins, carbohydrates and fats we eat. ALA has been looked at in connection with the treatment of diabetic neuropathy, liver ailments and glaucoma. It might even help to improve memory because of its protective effects on brain and nerve tissue.

Broccoli Seed Extract

For up to 72 hours, the catalytic effect created by Broccoli Seed Extract (sulforaphane glucosinolate) will boost the activity of antioxidants in your body. Broccoli seed extract also protects against electrophiles which can damage DNA and helps cells neutralize toxins and carcinogens which are then ejected from your cells. It also helps to increase and restore glutathione levels in your body and activates the antioxidant enzymes used in the Phase II detoxification pathway

Curcumin

Curcumin is better known to most people as Turmeric Root Extract. Turmeric is that wonderfully pungent, brilliantly yellow spice that imparts its distinctive color to much Indian cusine (and also your white blouse if you’re not more careful than I was!) More importantly though, Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that helps your body fight damage caused by free radicals and is also well known to help reduce inflammation. Supporting the work of the broccoli seed extract also in Cellgevity, turmeric root extract also helps to generate the Phase II enzymes that support what it known as the glutathione detoxification pathway.

Resveratrol

Much has been written about resveratrol. ( I, for one, used it as a joking excuse for my wine consumption- until I found out that it didn’t truly extend to white wine). Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant found in grape skins and present in red and white wine, although using wine as your sole source of resveratrol will cause more harm than good. In supplement form however, resveratrol is an antioxidant with properties that protect your cardio vascular system.

Vitamin C

Everyone is familiar with Vitamin C and many of its benefits are well known. What isn’t well known though is that Vitamin C is among the Network Antioxidants, which probably explains why it is in Cellgevity. Most antioxidants become useless after they have done their job and neutralized a free (oxy) radical, but the network antioxidants have the ability to recycle or rejuvinate each other.

Quercetin

Quercetin is a flavonoid antioxidant. Flavonoids are an exceptional group of phytonutrients that belong to the category of polyphenols. They’re best known for their rich diversity of pigments (including the rich blues of blueberries and deep reds of raspberries). Flavonoids like Quercetin are valued for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity and for supporting the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

ALA – About Alpha Lipoic Acid

Available in every single cell of the body – much like glutatione – alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that helps your cells transform glucose into energy. Unlike antioxidants like Vitamin C which can exclusively work in water or vitamin E which only works in fat , ALA operates in both water and fat. It can work anyplace in your body. Like other antioxidants, ALA neutralizes free radicals -metabolic waste – from your cells before they grow to be crowded and toxic from a build up of waste. In contrast to most other antioxidants, Alpha lipoic Acid can help to replenish other antioxidants once they have collected the odd electrons and renders them capable to continue to neutralize more free radicals.

ALA is also used as an abbreviation for Alpha Linolenic Acid which is an omega-3 fatty acid, connected with heart health, but this is not the same as Alpha lipoic acid – also known as Lipoic Acid.
Several studies have indicated that ALA may possibly be able to help lessen levels of blood sugar and combined with it’s antioxidant properties, ALA might be valuable to people suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy, relieving some of the discomfort brought about by nerve damage.

Researchers are studying alpha lipoic acid to measure its effectiveness against glaucoma although they are yet to acquire sufficient data, but because it can pass very easily to the brain, it is possible that ALA may well be useful as a protection against brain and nerve tissue damage. ALA is currently being looked at as a potential treatment for stroke and other brain problems with root causes based on free radical damage. Dementia is one such condition.

ALA is an ingredient in both MaxGXL and Cellgevity, both of which are available at Whole Earth Health.

Alpha Linolenic Acid

ALA Alpha-Linolenic acid is is something that confused me at first. I was researching ALA which is found in Cellgevity and learned – much ot my surprise that ALA not only stands for Alpha Lipoic Acid- which is an ingredient in Cellgevity but also Alpha Linolenic acid which is something completely different.

Alpha linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated, omega-3 fatty acid originally identified by A. Rollet in 1909. It is most effortlessly found in seed oils like walnut, canola, soybean hemp and flax . It’s also observed in the membranes responsible for photosynthesis in broad leafed, green plants (thylakoid membranes).

Other outstanding, although less acknowledged sources of ALA are Perilla, Kiwifruit and Chia . Perilla oil is extracted from the seeds of the Perilla family, a.k.a the mint family. Although in the west it is used principally in the paint industry, (like linseed oil) in the east it is used for its content of ALA giving it antioxidant qualities and a significant content of vitamins and minerals . Chia is not always associated with the pets of the same name. Chia is also known as Salvia hispanica. It is another member of the mint family.

ALA is one of the essential fatty acids and what this means is that it can only be obtained from our diets. We are unable to create any of the essential fatty acids on our own.

Research conducted over the years on Alpha-linolenic acid have connected it to many beneficial outcomes including a decreased chance of cardiovascular disease. In 2005, a study conducted on young adults revealed that daily amounts of ALA diminished the levels of anxiety and stress among the subjects and a reduction of cortisol levels was objectively measured. This finding was abundantly supported in a 2011 study conducted by Harvard University on 50,000 women that over a period of ten years, found that a higher intake of ALAa-linolenic acid combined with a reduced intake of linoleic acid was connected with a substantial decrease in depression.

ALA is also a impressive antioxidant, known to combat numerous forms of oxidative stress and to help recycle other antioxidants.

Regrettably, due to the requirement that commercial food processors have for characteristics like “spread ability” which requires that ALA be partially hydrogenated, the most available source of ALA – soybeans, are being genetically modified to produce reduced amounts of ALA and linoleic acid.

While still being assessed for its advantages relative to heart health, a modest consumption of dietary ALA could prove beneficial for the primary and secondary reduction of coronary heart disease.

That’s the scoop on Alpha Linolenic Acid.
