Diamond Étern-L Renewal Support System... from head to toe! Ingredient hightlights:
Ester C
Proven antioxidant to help protect surface skin and provides essential Vitamin C needed for collagen production. It is very soluble and has a neutral pH and can be used by individuals with sensitive skin and digestive systems. Research has shown many benefits to Ester C including the heart, eyes, and skin.
Zinc/Copper/Manganese
These essential trace minerals are necessary for proper collagen synthesis, which determines the integrity of bone, cartilage and skin, and form the backbone of superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the body's most important antioxidant enzymes.
Bromelain:
Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory agent. It has been helpful in healing minor injuries, such as sprains, strains and muscle injuries. It has been found effective for people suffering from sinusitis and alleviates symptoms of urinary tract infections and rheumatoid arthritis. Bromelain is a natural blood thinner because it prevents excessive blood platelet stickiness. This may explain the positive reports in a few clinical trials showing a decrease in symptoms of angina and thrombophlebitis.
Horsechestnut (Aescin):
One of the most prescribed pharmaceuticals in Germany (where herbs are considered drugs), extracts of this herb have been shown to both prevent and ameliorate the symptoms of several chronic venous insufficiencies, especially in the legs. Added to the formula for the specific benefit of people who travel frequently (prevents the uncomfortable leg swelling associated with air travel), people with varicose or spider veins, and people whose work conditions cause circulation-related discomfort (for example, standing and/or sitting in one position for long periods of time).
L-Carnosine:
The benefits are almost too numerous to neatly summarize. As an anti-aging nutrient, carnosine's most basic role is in the protection of the body's proteins from both oxidation and glycation, the physical signs of which include skin wrinkling and brain degeneration among many others.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid:
Called the "universal antioxidant " because it is both water and fat-soluble, ALA has been shown to help with heavy metal detoxification, to recycle the body's other antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, and coenzyme Q10), to help regulate blood sugar levels and to contribute to energy production at the cellular level.
Trans-Resveratrol:
This protective compound is found abundantly in red wine. In fact, many people believe that trans-resveratrol may be responsible for the "French Paradox " -- the low incidence of heart disease among the French people, who eat a relatively high-fat diet, but who also consume higher amounts of red wine. Besides being a potent antioxidant, trans-resveratrol has been shown to inhibit the body's enzymes that are responsible for inflammation, pain and various inflammatory conditions.
Rosemary/Oregano:
Under the microscope of modern science, these common seasonings have been shown to have potent antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal activities. One of their shared constituents (rosmarinic acid) has been shown in laboratory studies to inhibit cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), one of the body's enzymes that are responsible for inflammation and pain.
Hyaluronic Acid:
Sometimes called the body's master moisture molecule, HA is a particularly important constituent of synovial joint fluid, cartilage and skin, to name a few. Because of its role in skin hydration, it is believed that HA can moisturize skin from the inside out and smooth wrinkles. It is also recommended for easing the flexing of joints, especially knees, by restoring lubrication and increasing cushioning. |
