Here's A Quick & Simple Way to Promote Your Vibrant Good Health and Fight the Signs of Aging*

With A New Whole Food-Based Antioxidant

You have probably heard many great things about antioxidants in the media.

For good reason ...

Antioxidants play the role of "janitor" in your body. And they take their position very seriously.

They go around mopping up excess free radicals before these pesky little scavenger molecules get the chance to damage or destroy your body's cells.

In a perfect world, you'd be able to get all the antioxidants you need from a healthy diet alone.

Unfortunately, there are just too many free radicals invading your body --

  • From stress ...

  • From a poor-quality diet and food additives ...

  • From environmental pollutants and toxins ...

  • And from your body's natural metabolic processes ...

So your body's supply of in-house antioxidant "janitors" can't keep up with all their chores -- cleaning up the cell-damaging messes made by the free radicals.

And without a plentiful supply of crucial antioxidants:

  • Your body becomes vulnerable to free radical damage ...

  • You lack energy and stamina ...

  • Your immune system operates at less than peak efficiency ...

You're probably familiar with some of the most well-known antioxidants -- like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and maybe even beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A.

That's why you've always been told to eat your vegetables (vegetables and fruits are natural dietary sources of antioxidants, which are contained in plant chemicals called phytochemicals).

The bad news is this: eating your veggies may not be enough these days, especially with the nutrient-depleted soil most vegetables come from.

You need to bring in some "outside help" -- more antioxidant janitors to mop up messes the free radicals make, like ...

  • Injuries to your cell membranes and mitochondria

  • Damage to your DNA

The good news is -- I've located the source of what may eventually turn out to be the most powerful antioxidant ever discovered.

 

Antioxidant Power from the All-American Grape

In fact, it's not really "an" antioxidant at all ...

It's an entire constellation of powerful antioxidants.

Let me introduce you to the little-known source of this antioxidant bonanza: the "all-American grape" -- the muscadine.

Muscadine grapes, most commonly purple or bronze in color, are native to the southeastern United States.

Muscadines look different from other grapes. They're big, beautiful and luscious.

They have thick skins and ripen individually within loose clusters, unlike bunch grapes.

Muscadines are quite robust compared to their puny anemic cousins -- most of the grapes you may find in your local grocery store.

Unfortunately, the majority of today's grapes have been bred to remove the most nutritious part of the grape berry -- the seeds. After all, most people don't like to eat the seeds ... or deal with spitting them out.

Grape breeders have also created thinner skinned grapes (despite the fact that the skins are another area where grapes hold much of their health value).

Muscadines, however, are different. They contain seeds and thicker skin (90% of the nutritional health benefit of the grape is located in the skin and seeds).

They're even considered to be "smarter" than other grapes.

 

Muscadines are Called "Smart Grapes" For A Good Reason

     

The Great Grape Harvest

If you're wondering why we're promoting Purple Defense again (versus Radical Fruits), here's the answer: It's been a great harvest for the luscious muscadines used in Purple Defense and we can now offer them to you again at a special price!

Both products are excellent antioxidants.* However, right now the "best deal award" goes to natural whole-food Purple Defense -- containing the antioxidant-loaded all-American muscadine grape.*

     

Actually, two reasons ...

First, muscadines naturally contain an extra set of chromosomes that other grapes don't have ...

Second, these extra chromosomes contain genes that help create a phytochemical profile with a broader range of health-supporting potential than other grapes ... particularly the ellagic acid family of compounds that are in muscadines -- but virtually absent in other grapes.

But it gets better ...

Ellagic acid is only one of the many phenomenal compounds found in muscadines, as you can see from this long list.

And many of these phytochemicals are antioxidants.

And good news! I've located a high-quality source of these super-charged antioxidants found in muscadine grapes.

 

 

With Purple Defense Grape Seed Powder, You'll Get the Antioxidants Without A Rise in Blood Sugar* ...

Plus, Purple Defense is:

  • Simpler than trying to wade through the boatload of antioxidant choices, many of which are weak and ineffective, and none of which have the proven potency of Purple Defense*.

  • Stronger in antioxidant power than other fruits and vegetables out there, according to recent ORAC studies*.

And here's another thing: it's simply impossible to chew grape seeds enough to get the equivalent benefit you would get from the pulverized seeds you'll find in Purple Defense.

Why? Pulverizing the seed makes it more digestible because it increases the surface area, while leaving the nutrient content in the product intact.

If this doesn't convince you, there are more reasons why Purple Defense may be your best answer ...

  • Purple Defense muscadine grape seed is available all year round -- long after the fruits have disappeared from local fruit stands and produce departments. (And unfortunately, fresh muscadines are only available in limited regions of the U.S. anyway.)

  • The shelf life of Purple Defense is far longer than that of fresh fruit (a full 12 months from the date you receive it). So, no more expensive fruit going to waste ...

  • Many people won't eat grape seeds due to their somewhat bitter taste and toughness (the main reason why most grapes were bred to be seedless). Using a convenient powder in easy-to-take capsules means you don't have to chew any bad-tasting seeds.

  • There is a higher concentration of muscadine phytochemicals in Purple Defense grape seed powder versus the fresh fruit*.

  • Although some people drink wine to get the grape-related benefits, there are many downsides I'm sure you're aware of ... such as over-consumption, sugar content, and other problems that you avoid entirely by simply using Purple Defense grape seed*.

The biomedical literature is chock-full of research on the beneficial compounds found in grapes, grape seed, and particularly in muscadines.

If you have been reading my newsletter for some time, you'll know that I've been fascinated by the research supporting the use of a compound called resveratrol for promoting vibrant living into your 70's, 80's and 90's... and helping to reduce the effects of normal aging.*

Guess what muscadine seeds are loaded with?

You guessed it -- resveratrol! Resveratrol has been identified one of the antioxidant phenolic compounds in grapes that many researchers believe is primarily responsible for what's called the "French Paradox": the observation that French people with poor diets who drink wine have better cardiovascular health than you might expect.*

Other researchers believe that some of the beneficial effects of the Mediterranean Diet are actually due to antioxidant flavonoids found in red wine.

Resveratrol is different from nearly all antioxidants because it can cross your blood-brain barrier to help protect brain cells.* And muscadines are nature's #1 source for resveratrol and many other antioxidants.*

In addition to resveratrol, here are just a few more of the health-enhancing compounds found in muscadines:

  • Ellagic acid, unique to the muscadine-type grapes, has been extensively studied for its ability to promote normal cell function.*

  • Quercetin is an antioxidant and flavonoid found in muscadines that helps fight free radical damage and promote overall good health.*

  • Anthocyanins are flavonoids found in muscadines that are most well-known for their potential benefits related to vision, nerve function and support of blood vessels.

  • Oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs) or proanthocyanidins are power bioflavonoids and potent antioxidants. OPCs are being extensively researched for their many benefits, including promoting skin and eye health, supporting immune function, and promoting proper inflammatory responses.*

 

One of The Best Plans For Healthy Aging Is a Powerful Antioxidant Defense*

Studies show that resveratrol and other polyphenolic compounds activate pathways that may increase lifespan in human cells1.*

One Harvard researcher, Dr. David Sinclair, believes that resveratrol may be a miracle molecule that will ultimately be able to help extend lifespan as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Early research indicates that polyphenols show promise in prolonging chromosomal stability and blocking of telomerase enzyme. *

Telomeres are caps on the end of chromosomes that communicate to cells how long they will live. The telomerase enzyme eats away at these caps, which prevents cells from continuing to grow and divide.

Researchers believe that blocking telomerase activity may be a key to longevity.

Flavonoids are particularly beneficial to your health (and found in abundance in muscadine grape seed).

In fact, a number of studies, such as one reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine2 and another in the prestigious journal Lancet3, suggest that the intake of antioxidant flavonoids help support a healthier cardiovascular system.*

Numerous compounds found in muscadines reduce oxidative stress damage to the cardiovascular system.* Particularly important are polyphenols4, which may confer cardiovascular support in ways that extend even beyond antioxidant activity.*

In particular, muscadine compounds such as flavanol, anthocyanidin, OPC, catechin, quercetin and tannins inhibit LDL oxidation5,6.* That they stop LDLs (commonly called "bad cholesterol") from oxidizing is significant, as this promotes arterial health (which is important to overall cardiovascular health).*

Even on its own, the flavononol quercetin is an outstanding antioxidant which protects against free radical damage.* This in turn promotes cellular integrity.*

Here are just a few more things that really impressed me in looking over the medical literature:

  • Hundreds of citations in the medical literature support the effectiveness of muscadine compounds such as phenols, polyphenols, tannins, and flavonols in promoting healthy blood glucose levels.*

  • Phytochemicals in grapes help protect nerve cells from free radical damage7.*

  • Another compound in muscadines, ellagic acid, also helps protect against free radical damage.*

  • Plus, many phytochemicals in muscadines, including OPCs, resveratrol, quercetin and many others, play a vital role in promoting a proper inflammatory response *

  • Phenolic substances in muscadines help support your body's natural defenses.*
