Antioxidant Complex

The synergistic antioxidant complex helps maintain healthy DNA, promotes health of the immune system and neutralises free radicals, the negative effects of which increase with age

Diabetes mellitus promotes oxidative stress, which in turn favours the development of the diabetes-associated chronic complications (Opara 2002). A high level of antioxidant helps combat this.

Lutein and antioxidants contribute to increase the sensitivity to insulin

(Evans et al, 2003).
