How do the ingredients in Cataplex E supply antioxidant activity?

Animal and human research studies suggest that increasing the consumption of chemicals with antioxidant activity in the daily diet promotes health.^{1, 2, 3, 4}Antioxidants are substances that can counteract destabilizing molecules called free radicals that can be generated by the body’s natural processes, such as energy generation or alcohol consumption.⁵ Free radicals can also be generated by exposure to environmental factors, like air pollution and tobacco smoke.⁶While free radicals have a role to play in normal function, limiting their ability to swipe an electron from neighboring molecules is supportive of overall health. Cataplex E contains vitamin E and selenium, which protect lipids from being destabilized by free radicals.^{7, 8, 9} Selenium is also supportive of selenium-containing enzymes called glutathione peroxidases that help transform some free radicals into harmless water and oxygen molecules.^{10, 11}* Glutathione peroxidase activity has been reported to decrease with age in women.¹²*

How does Cataplex E support healthy thyroid function?

Selenium is essential for the production of several selenium-dependent enzymes called selenoproteins, a family of proteins that have roles in a variety of cell processes, including immune system function¹³ and thyroid function.¹⁴*

How does Cataplex E support immune system response function?

Both vitamin E¹⁵ and selenium¹⁶ are important to the immune system response function and support a healthy natural anti-inflammatory response.¹⁷*
