Product Details

According to Packer, five antioxidants "network" in our bodies with "special powers" that slow aging and fight disease: Vitamins C and E, glutathione, lipoic acid, and Coenzyme Q10. The first two are obtained through food, the others are produced by the body, but these levels decline as we age, so we need to supplement. Packer describes the benefits and actions of these special antioxidants and also recommends flavonoids such as ginkgo biloba and pycnogenol (made from the bark of pine trees), a number of carotenoids, selenium, and a variety of foods high in antioxidants. He spells out exactly what supplements you need and how much, with special modifications for smokers, diabetics, menopausal women, athletes, and people at high risk of cancer or cardiovascular disease. The book is not easy reading: lots of scientific explanations and study descriptions. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

It's working for me,
By "cmfen" (NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Antioxidant Miracle: Your Complete Plan for Total Health and Healing (Paperback)
This book was very informative. The author makes his case strongly, and so I was eager to start taking the recommended supplements.I started implementing the Packer Plan about 2 months ago. Immediatly I saw improvements in my skin. I had suffered dry, red patches on my face for several years. Within days of starting the supplement cocktail, the skin on my face cleared up. Also, because of my current life situation, I seldom get more than 6 hours of sleep a night. This always led to fatigue during the day. Now I have much more energy and feel very alert even on days when I've gotten only 4 hours of sleep. In addition, I usually have several serious sinus infections every spring due to allegies. But now, with others around me congested, sneezing and suffering from sinus headaches, I have had no problems at These are all immediate effects that I didn't expect. I was looking for a 'cancer deterrent' type of program, which is one of the benefits listed. The quick effects of these supplements has made me a beleiver. This book and the detailed supplement plan that it touts is definately worth trying.
