INFORCE™

Free radicals are extremely unstable and highly destructive oxygen molecules. They are "hungry" to gain or "steal" electrons from other molecules in an attempt to balance their own electron rings. Free radicals attack, damage and ultimately destroy almost any material. The rusting of metal, the browning of a fresh cut apple, or the hardening of paint are all examples of the constant bombardment of free radicals and the resultant damage they do.

FREE RADICALS ARE YOUR BODY'S ENEMY

In the body, their attacks are even more devastating. Free radicals may actually be your worst enemy. They can degrade collagen and even re-program DNA and change the way your cells replicate themselves. Many scientists now believe that free radicals are the common denominator in all degenerative diseases. Consider what Dr. Denham Harman, M.D. Ph.D. says, "Very few individuals, if any, reach their potential maximum life span; they die instead prematurely of a wide variety of disease - the vast majority being free radical diseases." As far back as April 26, 1988, in the New York Times, Jane E. Brody stated, "free oxygen radicals, the main type formed in living organisms, have been implicated in recent studies in more than 60 disorders, including heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts and rheumatoid arthritis. According to one of the leading theories on aging, they contribute to the process of becoming old such as wrinkling of the skin, decline of kidney function and increased susceptibility to auto immune diseases."Since 1988, continued research has only served to validate the serious negative effects of free radicals on our mortal body.

Free radicals are everywhere and occur ironically with things we trust and constantly expose ourselves to. How do you expose yourself to free radicals? You breath. You eat. You bathe. You take a walk in the outdoors under sunlight. You smoke. Every time you breathe you probably take in a million or more free radicals! Much of our food, especially processed food, has significant levels of toxic pesticides and preservatives in it, and correspondingly large amounts of free radicals. Many studies show that numerous ingredients used in soap, shampoos, cosmetics, and many cleaners expose and contaminate our body with potentially life threatening carcinogens and toxins. Even the chlorinated water you shower or bathe in can penetrate the skin and increase your chance of getting arthritis and other negative side effects. In Europe, they know chlorine is poisonous, and remember well the effects of chloride gas from World War 1.

HOW THEN, CAN I PROTECT MYSELF?

Grape seed extract, pine bark extract, CO-Q 1O, and antioxidant vitamins appear to be the best alternatives. Antioxidant vitamins are the traditional way. It is certainly worth pointing out that at a November 1993 Conference on antioxidant vitamins, as reported by KTR wire, scientists were asked to rank on a scale of I to 10 the weight of current scientific evidence. Many experts ranked the evidence in the 7-9 range. Consider that Hoffman - La Roche Inc., a major well-respected Pharmaceutical firm has been running a national ad campaign that says "...antioxidant vitamins (referring to Vitamin C, E, and Beta Carotene) are an important part of the body's cell-protection systems. This is due to their ability to neutralize free radicals, highly reactive and unstable molecules that can cause significant cellular damage. It is believed that this cellular decay can include damaging or altering the DNA, and thus changes the way the cell duplicates itself. Cancerous cells may result and free radicals can leave you with damaged organs, lost or lessened vision, arthritis, wrinkles, and a myriad of maladies. WHAT THEN, IS THE ANSWER FOR A MEASURE OF PROTECTION? WE PROUDLY INTRODUCE INFORCE™! Leading edge scientific research, however, has identified some compounds called oligomeric proanthocyanidins or OPC'S, which far surpass traditional vitamins like C, E, and Beta Carotene in their ability to fight free radicals. In fact, grape seed extract is 20 times more potent than vitamin C, more powerful then Vitamin E. Besides being far more potent, there's another key that is just as important. Vitamin C only stays in the body for about 3 hours. The grape seed extract as found in INFORCE™, however will stay in the body for around 72 hours - about 24 times longer than Vitamin C. This is what makes Inforce the most powerful free radical scavenger we know of. Some have mistakenly felt that pine bark extracts are more powerful. Not so! In Europe, it is true both grape seed and pine bark extracts are known as pycnogenols as coined by Dr. Jacques Masqueller of the University of Bordeaux in France. As the original discoverer of both these substances, and having done several patents, he states ...the exceptional scientific and commercial results have all been obtained with OPC from grape seeds. Moreover, he states that the "research that led to U.S. Patent No. 4,698,360 underlining the intense free radical scavenging effect or pycnogenols was ...all done with the grape seed OPC." Therefore, while pine bark is an effective source, research dearly shows grape seed to be more powerful. As the undeniable truth of the great free radical fire power of grape seed extract becomes better known, watch for companies that have only been distributors of pine bark and "Pycnogenol" products add the grape seed products to their line. That will be proof enough of the truth, and as this happens, remember that HIGHER IDEALS led the way to getting this important truth into the market place.

INFORCE™ IS TRUE ANTIOXIDANT POWER - THE BEST!

Is this just a "fad" or is scientific research on the damage free radicals cause and the good that can be done by antioxidants truly significant enough that this should be part of our long term health plans? Consider this: The December 22, 1994 issue of the Wall Street Journal reported that when 736 research and development food executives were surveyed, over 20% of them affirmed that antioxidant ingredients will become more crucial to their products within the next two years. Frankly, as pollution gets worse, as more and more foods are processed, our need for the powerful antioxidant properties of INFORCE™ will only increase.
