A recent review published in the American Journal of Clinical nutrition states that the potent health protective qualities of fruit and vegetables are attributed to the complex mixture of phytochemicals present in whole foods. To date, up to 5000 phytochemicals in plant foods have been identified, with still many that are unknown. Indeed research clearly shows that plant pigments (phytochemicals) in foods may be working synergistically as antioxidants to fight off disease. Most forms of disease are suggested to be either a cause of increased oxidation in the body or to result from excessive oxidation. Oxidation describes the rusting of cells, tissues, and organs. Antioxidants from foods slow down oxidation thereby preventing cellular damage that can lead to disease.
Marine phytoplankton is loaded with antioxidant nutrients and pigments. Some prime examples of phytoplankton antioxidants include the carotenoids such as astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, and zeaxanthin. Carotenoids are known to work as a family to prevent disease. Food source carotenoids are the only effective way to receive health benefits, due to the intricate balance that can only be found in foods. This is in line with most studies on antioxidants, where consistent health benefits are found with diets rich in plant foods.
Furthermore, Gesundheit Marine Phytoplankton has been shown to provide the same level of antioxidants as found with cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables are amazing health protectors, detoxifiers, and provide a nutrition power house. However, the astounding health benefits reported with Gesundeit Marine Phytoplankton may indicate that this whole food contains unique antioxidant pigments unavailable in other common foods. Alternatively, it may be working at a cellular level to produce a stronger antioxidant effect within the body.
