Selfdefence by Nutramins is a food supplement that provides a superior antioxidant and immune support through a comprehensive mechanism. Nutramins has carefully selected six fruit and plant extracts that contain complimentary antioxidant polyphenols and beta-glucans that can together provide a complete antioxidant and immune support to our body. These are Turmeric, Orange, Pomegranate, Elderberry, Capros® Indian Gooseberry and MaitakeGold®.
• MaitakeGold® is simply the best Maitake extract in the world. In 1984, Dr. Hiroaki Nanba of Kobe Pharmaceutical University (Kobe, Japan) began work with his team on the development of an orally effective, immune enhancing extract derived from Maitake (Grifola frondosa) mushroom. This led to a critical discovery in the late 1990’s when they found inherent in the Maitake extract a substance or “float” that inhibits the immune enhancing properties of the extract. The Nanba team went on to develop a proprietary process to eliminate this substance from the extract, for which Dr. Nanba was awarded a United States patent (5,854,404). This proprietary extract is marketed exclusively under the tradename, MaitakeGold®. Years of rigorous scientific research has shown that MaitakeGold® is one of the most therapeutically bioactive Maitake extracts yet developed for enhanced immune support. Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Research Hospital found that MaitakeGold® enhanced several indicators of healthy immune function in a multi-phase, U.S. Government funded human clinical trial. MaitakeGold® was chosen exclusively for this project and was assigned an Investigational New Drug (IND) number in association with it.
• Capros® Indian Gooseberry is a standardized natural extract of the ultimate superfruit antioxidant “beauty food”, Indian Gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica). Capros® is a super antioxidant (ORACFN of 47,000 µmoles TE/g), due to it high content of hydrolysable tannins polyphenols.
• Turmeric is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant that contains curcuminoids, a polyphenol with strong antioxidant activity.
• Orange is a citrus fruit that provides significant levels of hesperidin, a polyphenol (biphenyl) that provides superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Pomegranate is a berry fruit and is considered one of the most health beneficial fruits on Earth. They contain significant quantities of ellagic acid, a polyphenol that has strong antioxidant and anti-proliferative properties.
• Elderberry is a dark purple berry and is considered a traditional remedy for colds and flus. They contain anthocyanins, a flavonoid polyphenol, that are well-defined antioxidant compounds.
• Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin with various health benefits including the maintenance of normal function of the immune system, to the protection of cells against oxidative stress, the reduction of tiredness.
