This is why it has become necessary to use antioxidant supplementation to ensure adequate amount of free radical neutralizers in our systems. Mediterranean Synergy contains both Green Tea and Green Tea leaf extract. Green Tea polyphenols have demonstrated greater antioxidant protection than vitamins C and E in experimental studies. This formula also contains lycopene. Lycopene belongs to a group of substances called carotenoids.
Carotenoids represent the most widespread group of naturally occurring pigments in nature.
In general, carotenes exhibit significant antioxidant activity, and lycopene falls into this particular subgroup of carotenoids. Studies have shown that lycopene exhibits the highest overall single oxygen quenching of the carotenoids thus far studied, being approximately twice that of beta-carotene. It may have even more impressive anti-cancer effects. In addition to the above mentioned antioxidants, Mediterranean Synergy contains grape seed extract. PCOs have demonstrated a wide range of activity.
