Benefits of Dr. Levine’s Ultimate Antioxidant Formula™

 

1. Physician Designed And Supervised.

Dr. Scott Levine a board certified internal medicine doctor and leading expert in health and nutrition, researched and formulated DLUAF to optimize your health and provide maximum prevention of disease. He combined his knowledge of health and nutrition with research information and the experience he has in actively caring for patients for over 15 years to develop the most health-enhancing supplement available.

2. Maximal Antioxidant Diversity.

DLUAF contains antioxidant vitamins, herbs, botanicals, coenzymes, minerals, anti-toxins, and phytonutrients (plant compounds with biological activity). The formula contains the most extensive and diverse combination of antioxidants. Maximal diversity means optimal health because each antioxidant has its own special target of activity. (Ginkgo Biloba protects the blood brain barrier, Curcuma protects the brain cells and neurons, Bilberry protects retinal vessels, alpha-carotene protects the lungs, Zeaxanthin, Lutein, and Lycopene protect the macula- the portion of the retina that gives sharp vision, CoQ10 uniquely benefits the heart, Silymarin protects the liver, green tea protects the digestive organs and skin, etc.,). DLUAF provides you with antioxidant diversity to provide head to toe protection.

3. Finest Chemical Structures Of Each Ingredient Provide Maximal Potency.

The chemical structure of a given nutrient determines your body’s ability to absorb and utilize it. This involves the understanding of biochemistry, pharmacology and a variety of other disciplines. Dr. Levine’s expert knowledge in health and nutrition and more than 15 years experience in internal medicine aided him in selecting the finest ingredients for the formulation. He used ingredients that were researched by medical schools, universities, and governmental agencies such as The National Academy of Sciences and the National Cancer Institute. Special contacts within the health and nutrition industry and a variety of medical journals from the U.S. and abroad were consulted.

Dr. Levine determined the one best chemical structure of each ingredient that your body can most easily absorb and utilize. This provides potency and ultimately the best health benefit. This particular chemical structure is better than its competitors and commands a much higher price. Vitamin E is a simple example. You can buy synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha-Tocopheryl) or natural vitamin E (d-alpha- Tocopheryl). Within the natural vitamin E class there is one that has better potency and duration of action- d-alpha-Tocopheryl Sussinate Acid. This particular chemical structure provides better biologic effects and is much more expensive than the other forms of vitamin E.

The differences in biological activity between various chemical structures of the same nutrient are seen in minerals, botanicals, herbs, and phytonutrients. Here different harvesting, handling of raw product, extraction process are critical to preserving biologic function and health benefit. More complicated issues involve the fact that health benefits are usually tied to one or a few specific plant compounds within a given herb. Certain processors have developed special techniques that preserve or concentrate these particular plant compounds, ultimately creating an extract that is richer in these health- enhancing phytonutrients.

This becomes a safety issue as well, as some extraction techniques use chemical carcinogens in their processing. DLUAF has the best ingredients because they are the most potent, safest, and best absorbed. DLUAF uses the most health-enhancing biologically active chemical substances without regard to cost. Only ingredients that are properly processed using the safest extraction techniques are used.

4. DLUAF Is Designed To Mimic Nature

Antioxidants and vitamins in fruits and vegetables do not exist as a single phytonutrient in all available supplements. In nature these phytonutrients exist in combination with sister phytonutrients that many times provide better health benefits than the publicly better-known phytonutrient. For example, nearly all supplements containing beta-carotene do not contain the sister carotinoids that exist in nature with beta-carotene.

In Nature and DLUAF you find beta-carotene accompanied by sister carotinoids:

• Alpha-Carotene- stops cancer
• Zeaxanthin- key carotinoid that prevents macular degeneration
• Cryptoxanthin- anti-cancer benefit and vitamin A activity
• Lutein- key carotinoid to prevent macular degeneration

The same is true for vitamin E. Nearly all vitamin E supplements do not contain the sister tocopherols that exist in nature with vitamin E. Each of these sister compounds have unique biological actions that can complement vitamin E or provide different health benefits. Vitamin E is d-Alpha-Tocopheryl; the sister tocopherols include:

• d-Beta-Tocopherol
• d-Gamma-Tocopherol
• d-Delta-Tocopherol

The difference in chemical structures provides different actions within your body. D-Gamma-Tocopherol is an especially important phytontutrient as it is one of few plant compounds that can destroy the dangerous peroxynitrate free radical. The unique chemical structure of d- Gamma-Tocopherol gives it unique ability to destroy this damaging toxin. This is such an important issue that the National Academy of Sciences issued an alert in 1998 stating that d-Gamma-Tocopherol was important to your health and that it was not present in any of the available vitamin E supplements being sold. DLUAF was physician- researched, designed and formulated and has contained this important phytonutrient since 1996 –the time of first manufacture.

5. DLUAF Is Designed To Be Better Than Nature

DLUAF is natural, yet contains a few ingredients that have to be synthetically derived because they do not exist in nature in any significant quantities.

• alpha-Lipoic Acid- is an essential coenzyme in your body’s metabolism and is essential to energy production. It is made only in limited quantities in your body. It rejuvenates "spent" vitamin E and C and increases glutathione levels (essential in removing toxins). Heavily researched, it has been beneficial in treating many diseases, including diabetes and nerve diseases.

• Coenzyme Q 10 – CoQ10- is an essential coenzyme found in every cell in your body and tied to energy production. It is especially important in heart muscle. It helps oxygenation at a cellular level. It also restores "spent" vitamin E.

These two ingredients have been added to DLUAF to enhance the health benefits and the potency of the other antioxidants.

6. DLUAF Has The Correct And Best Dosage Of Each Ingredient

Dr. Levine’s experience in internal medicine and health and nutrition enabled him to formulate the correct dosages of each ingredient. As with almost everything in life, too much or too little is not desirable. The same goes for supplements. Too much of an ingredient can have negative health effects and too little of an ingredient will provide no health benefits. This is especially true for antioxidants where too high of a dosage can provide pro-oxidant effects that are the opposite of what was intended. Yes, you can take too much vitamin E, C, beta-carotene etc.

Within the dosage range, a dosage that imparts maximal health benefits can be found. Dr. Levine formulated DLUAF to contain the correct dosage of each ingredient to provide OPTIMUM health benefits.

7. DLUAF Has Proper Disintegration And Absorption

The best ingredients in the world would provide you no benefits unless they can be broken down in your digestive tract and properly absorbed. Just because you put a pill in your mouth doesn’t mean you are getting any of the ingredients. If a pill does not disintegrate within one hour, the ingredients will not be absorbed. Absorption of nutrients only occurs in the stomach and small intestine, not in the colon. Many supplements on the market today are in caplet or pill form. In order to get the ingredients to bind together they are compressed under great pressure. The resulting caplet is so tightly compressed it cannot disintegrate within in an hour; instead the caplet takes hours or days to disintegrate.

Dr. Levine has tested the disintegration of DLUAF in an independent laboratory following USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) standards to confirm the ingredients are available for absorption. As an extra measure to guarantee potency of the extensive antioxidant formulation, the ingredients are encapsulated in an airtight, easy-to-swallow gelatin capsule.

8. DLUAF Uses The Best Manufacturing

The best ingredients in the world will not provide you with their intended benefits if they are not processed in a special and caring manner. This has to do with temperature, storage, encapsulating, bottling, and a variety of other factors that are important in preserving phytonutrients within the raw material.

Dr. Levine uses the best manufacturing possible. Why go to all the trouble of selecting the best ingredients and then not control manufacturing of the final product? Dr. Levine’s attention to exquisite detail guarantees potency of the ingredients and maximizes safety, purity, and cleanliness measures. Dr. Levine directs the manufacturing process.

9. DLUAF Provides The Ultimate In Safety

Dr. Levine lives by the physician’s credo "Do No Harm". He is committed to providing the ultimate in health benefits SAFELY. To guarantee safety Dr. Levine personally selects each ingredient used and then uses the most pure, clean and safest manufacturing. The herbs and botanicals in DLUAF use special safe extraction techniques rather than less expensive extraction techniques where safety cannot be confirmed. Many herbal products available today use inexpensive extraction techniques that use proven EPA carcinogens in their processing.

10. DLUAF Is Enhanced With Specific Heart Healthy B Vitamins

Dr. Levine is committed to eradicating heart disease. Homocysteine is an amino acid in your body. It is very vascular-damaging and can result in heart disease. It is also ridiculously simple to treat. Homocysteine damage is halted by vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid. These B vitamins were added to enhance the heart protection of the antioxidant formulation.

Dr. Levine has been developing and enhancing DLUAF for over 6 years. This supplement contains the best and most health-enhancing nutrients available. DLUAF offers the ultimate in protection against aging, heart disease, cancer, and degenerative diseases. It can strengthen your immune system and increase your energy.

The Scams

Nearly all nutritional supplements available are sold by marketing companies that have capitalized on the public’s interest in natural treatments and alternative cures. These marketing companies are frequently public or private companies that are dedicated to profit. They produce vitamins for the masses. The industry has been known for shoddy manufacture and products. There is little or no policing of these companies. They play a variety of games in order to sell more products at a higher profit. Do not expect any better treatment by the big name manufacturers. They have been among the worst in the industry.

Here are some of the more common scams:

1. The Ingredients On The Label Are Not In The Bottle. Numerous random sampling has proven this on many occasions. Vitamin manufacturers are not required to keep audits of the raw materials used. Guess what happens when the ingredients are expensive?
    
2. Insignificant Quantities Of Ingredients Are Included In The Formulation. Many times manufacturers take advantage of the lack of knowledge people have regarding dosages of herbal products. They put insignificant amounts in the formulation just so they can list the ingredient on the label. The amount of the ingredient may help an ant, but won’t do anything for a human. This game is called getting label claim.
    
3. Use Cheap Ingredients. These ingredients do not provide the intended benefits you seek. They lack potency in your body. Some of these ingredients are not safe, as they use known EPA carcinogens as part of the extraction process. You will not get sick immediately. These carcinogens are odorless and tasteless. After years of consuming them cancer could develop. Isn’t it ironic that some health supplements you take today may increase your risk of cancer tomorrow?
    
4. Use Cheap Vitamin Manufacture. The standards for cleanliness, safety and purity are low. No one is watching. No one is auditing. Work areas are not clean. When profit is the motive, manufacturing suffers. This is analogous to what happened in the food industry. (Your hot dog can have so many rat hairs and insects, per pound). Your health supplement could contain human hair, rat feces, bugs and worse.
    
5. Make Up Heath Claims That Are Untrue And Use Harmful Ingredients. Many manufacturers are marketing their products with false health claims. They want to sell product and will do anything to get you to buy it. Liquid or colloidal vitamins and nutrients are a big scam. The same goes for spray vitamins. Health claims made about colloidal silver are false, and colloidal silver is DANGEROUS to consume. Diet claims made about Chromium Picolinate are FALSE, and there is concern that the breakdown of picolinate results in a carcinogen. Marketing companies continue to hang on to these products, as the public is not well informed about these dangers.
    
6. Use Formulas That Make No Sense. Many multivitamin manufacturers put iron and vitamin E in the same pill. This is ridiculous as the two inactivate each other. Several ingredients used in combination are known to cancel each other’s effects.
    
7. Sell Products That Are Not Delivered To Your Body. Many pills and caplets on the market are tightly compressed to hold in the contents. This compression is so strong that the pill does not break apart for many hours or days after you swallow it. The result is that the pill passes through the small intestine without ever being absorbed.

Many available "health" supplements are actually dangerous to your health. The government can’t police the multi-billion dollar industry, so the industry goes unchecked while making wild claims and selling inferior product.
