Skin Care Vitamins | Age Protect by Swisse

Swisse Professional Age Protect is a premium quality, concentrated formula to help protect cells from the free radical damage that can lead to premature ageing.

The therapeutic properties of this formula can be attributed to the herb knotweed, as well as cucumis melo juice concentrate and a standardised extract of blueberry.

These ingredients are rich in antioxidants to provide defence against free radical damage. Free radicals can attack cells in the body and cause excessive oxidative stress, which may produce cumulative damage contributing to the ageing process.

Antioxidants are essential for ensuring the health of existing cells and will help to prolong antioxidant effects through cell renewal.

The herb knotweed is one of the richest botanical sources of resveratrol, which can also be found in red wine, the skins of grapes, red fruits and some berries. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant that helps fight the ageing process by protecting cells from free radical damage. It is produced by some plants as a defence mechanism in response to a microbial, viral or environmental attack on the plant.

Research into the potential health benefits of resveratrol is currently underway after its presence in red wine sparked speculation that the antioxidant might in part help explain the “French Paradox”, whereby those consuming a rich, high-fat diet manage to avoid poor cardiovascular health.

Studies have demonstrated that resveratrol can assist with cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation in the body.

In comparison to vitamin C, resveratrol has been shown to have superior potency as an antioxidant.

Cucumis melo is a freeze-dried melon juice concentrate. It is a potent antioxidant containing superoxide dismutase, which acts on oxidative stress at a cellular level. As we age, the body’s natural levels of superoxide dismutase decrease, increasing the need for supplementation.

Studies have revealed that cucumis melo can assist with stress relief, improve energy and decrease oxidative stress. It is shown to significantly improve the symptoms of stress and fatigue linked to performance, pain, concentration, insomnia and irritability.

Swisse Professional Age Protectalso contains a standardised extract of blueberry, a nutritious superfood and potent antioxidant to counteract free radical damage on a cellular level.

Studies have demonstrated that blueberry can assist with improvement in energy, as well as decreasing oxidative stress.
