Anti Aging

Anti-oxidants in our diet and supplements provide for protection against free radical damage to cell and mitochondrial membranes. But, what happens to the person who doesn't take anti-oxidants until he/she is older, or is already experiencing chronic disease. It is widely accepted, in scientific circles, that free radical caused damage to membranes is the cause for chronic debilitating disease. For most people, when we are young our cells repair any free radical damage by readily producing enzymes, such as Superoxide Dismutase and proteins such as glutathione that serve as anti-oxidants. For a variety of reasons including diet, stress and other causes our cells begin to lose the ability, slowly at first, to stop a free radical from damaging it's membrane.

The first event in the development of chronic disease is free radical damage to a cell membrane that is not immediately repaired. The un-repaired damage weakens the cell, and so, allows more free radical damage. The accumulation of the free radical damage causes the membrane to become dehydrated and rancid. Anti-oxidants from the food supply do not have the capability to significantly repair damaged membrane. Anti-oxidants normally formed in the body for the purpose of repairing membranes depend on a healthy membrane in order to be produced. Once damage to membranes begins it becomes a process that increases in frequency and accumulation. It gives a logic to the cliche, ‘She aged overnight!”. Now there is an opportunity to slow that process down dramatically.

It has now been proven in a human clinical trials that the nutrient compound NT Factor will restore lost membrane vitality. In an elderly population individuals consuming six tablets of NT Factor per day restored their membrane health to levels normal for young healthy adults in just two months.

Researchers from University of California at Irvine and Institute for Molecular Medicine call this achievement "Lipid Replacement Therapy". Referring to membranes that had been damaged by free radicals researchers found that through this new technology healthy cell components could simply replace dehydrated and deteriorated membrane. The end result was that in as little as eight weeks study participants whom had an average age of 70 years regained membrane activity normal for healthy young adults.

Researchers simultaneously evaluated the participants to determine if they had a corresponding relief of fatigue or sense of tiredness. The doctors found that individuals experiencing moderate or severe fatigue at the start of the study, had little or no fatigue at the end of eight weeks.

Researchers determined that individuals could maintain their improved function if they continued to use the dietary supplement.
