Several vitamins and minerals have been shown to be essential for antioxidant support and have found their place in the treatment of chronic diseases. Specifically, vitamins A, C, and E, selenium, and zinc are all involved in a complex network of antioxidants, necessary to regenerate each other, promote detoxification, produce glutathione, and prevent cellular damage. For this reason, Cyto-Matrix has updated its ACES + Zinc Formula to provide active, highly absorbable, and well-balanced antioxidant support for a wide variety of clinical indications.
Active ACES + Zn should be considered in cases of weak immunity. Together, vitamins A, C, and E, selenium, and zinc contribute to proper immune function and reduce the frequency of common infections. The combination of these nutrients provides a direct and powerful antiviral action, making the formula useful in both chronic and acute viral infections.
Active ACES + Zn is also a powerful antioxidant formula for men's and women's health. For example, male infertility is often the result of free radical damage and mitochondrial disruption leading to abnormal sperm parameters. The vitamins and minerals in Active ACES + Zn have been studied individually for their ability to improve both sperm count and sperm function, and zinc may improve testosterone levels in zinc-deficient men. At the same time, research has shown that vitamins C and E, alone and in combination, are able to increase blood progesterone levels in women. Animal studies have found the same for selenium supplementation. In men and women with low thyroid function, selenium is necessary for proper conversion of T4 to T3, and zinc is beneficial for improving thyroid receptor sensitivity.
Finally, the nutrients in Active ACES + Zn are crucial for collagen production and tissue healing. This formula should be considered for acne vulgaris, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, and any skin condition to reduce irritation and improve healing. In cases of trauma such as surgery, bone fractures, or open wounds, Active ACES + Zn can increase collagen synthesis and help regenerate skin, bones, and structural tissues.
Compared to the original ACES. + Zinc formula, Active ACES + Zn provides vitamin A in its active form of all-trans-retinyl palmitate (instead of beta-carotene), mixed tocopherols (instead of dl-alpha-tocopherol), and fully chelated bis-glycinate minerals (as opposed to citrate salts). Collectively, this makes Active ACES + Zn an evidence-based blend of active, highly absorbable, and balanced nutrients for antioxidant support. Available in bottles of 60 vegetarian capsules and 120 vegetarian capsules.
