Free Radicals are produced when the body's diet is low in vitamins, especially antioxidants, and it is additionally exposed to environmental toxins and pollutants. Free radicals damage the smooth lining of the blood vessels causing small blood clots to form which then allows the deposit of saturated fats, called plaque. This damage to the blood vessels also causes it to lose its elasticity, while the plaque forming on the blood vessels' walls impedes blood flow, these two factors then cause increased blood pressure. Oral Chelation helps prevent further free radical damage, repairs the damage to the internal lining of the blood vessels and helps to increase the flexibility of the blood vessels. Vitamin A is extremely important in the protection of the endothelium or lining of the blood vessels, it assists in the absorption of Selenium and stimulates the thymus to produce more antibodies.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and protects against free radical damage.
Vitamin C is another powerful antioxidant which stimulates the production of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase which acts a cleanser on the arterial walls. Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid improve the health of red blood cells. Choline and DL Methionine have a lipotropic effect which means they help to transport fat through the vascular system and prevent fat from attaching to the walls of the blood vessels. Selenium is essential to maintain a healthy body and has a number of uses, it is a very powerful antioxidant, has lipotropic factors and helps detoxify some metabolites. Zinc stimulates the immune system and acts as an antioxidant.
