Utilizing carrot’s antioxidation to produce synergistic effects which reduce fress radicals damage to the body.

Beta carotene (Betatene® Dunaliella Salina)
Betatene® is a naturally sourced β-carotene derived from algae from Australia and it is the most unique and natural source out of all commercially available beta-carotene products. β-carotene is an antioxidant that helps protect the body from oxidation caused by metabolism and aging processes, or environmental effects such as UV and air pollution, and reduce the damage of the lung caused by air pollution. Beta-carotene is important for brain, liver, metabolism, joints and muscles, and the cardiovascular system.

RiSolubles® Stabilized Rice Bran
Rice bran is the outer layer of rice grain, while it has plentiful nutritional value; it is usually removed during food processing. RiSolubles® stablilized rice bran contains vitamin B complex, a variety of minerals and trace elements. Vitamin B complex acts as a co-enzyme that can help body cells to create energy, relieve fatigue, help bone marrow to produce red blood cells, and improve anemia. It also helps maintain the connection of the nervous system and reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure. In addition, rice bran also contains inositol and choline, which can help increase the absorption of vitamin B effectively, protect the central nervous system and brain cells, and help preventing degenerative diseases. In addition, rice bran also contains vitamin E which is an antioxidant and can help protect the health of cell membranes.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Vitamin B2 is also known as riboflavin. It is one of the essential nutrients in human body, participating in the process of digesting fat, protein and carbohydrates, and can promote energy production, as well as cell regeneration. Vitamin B2 can improve the recycling and detoxification of glutathione effectively, improve redox reaction of the cells, prevent the formation and accumulation of peroxides, and maintain blood vessels and cardiovascular health.

Unique Formula of *BODYPROTECTOR*
1. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)
NAC is an amino acid; it is present in every single cell and is the most abundant antioxidant in the body. It is also the precursor of glutathione. Since the majority of glutathione has already been absorbed by stomach due to hydrolysis, taking a small amount of NAC is sufficient to increase glutathione level in the cells.

2. Spirulina Powder
It is one of the most nutrient-dense food in the world, containing a variety of vitamins, minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, etc.) and essential fatty acids GLA. Its protein content is higher than meat and fish, reaching 60% to 70%. It is an ideal source of protein for vegetarians. Spirulina can reduce chromosome damage, and can protect the body against the by-products derived from antioxidation and detoxification processes1.

5. L-Glutathione
Glutathione is a powerful antidote and enhances immunity. In human cells, glutathione is a natural antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in cells and helps to eliminate oncogenes and toxins, such as vehicle exhaust, tobacco, heavy metals, alcohol, as well as many pesticides and industrial chemicals. Glutathione is also the most important recycling machine in body, which recycles vitamins C and vitamins E, allowing them to be reused in cells.

6. Milk Thistle Seed Extract
Milk thistle is an asterids plant that originated in Europe and has been used for liver protection for more than 2,000 years. Milk thistle gets its name from the milky secretion produced when the leaves are broken. The silymarin in milk thistle has high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which helps protect the liver from toxins and free radicals, and helps the liver to remove airborne toxins.

7. Broccoli Sprouts Powder
Broccoli Sprouts contain vitamin K, folic acid, selenium, potassium, chromium and abundant sulforaphane. The sulforaphane level of broccoli Sprouts is extremely high: The sulforaphane content in 150 grams broccoli can be found in just 3 grams of broccoli sprouts. Studies have shown that broccoli sprouts can help improve the body’s ability to resist toxic substances, stimulate anticancer proteinase, enhance antitumor effects and protect against UV light damage 1.

Uniqueness of ProtekU Plus

1. Unique Formula *BODYPROTECTOR*

Once air pollutants are absorbed by body, liver will start detoxify and convert the fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble toxins, which are then excreted. There are two phases in liver detoxification, of which phase I is responsible for converting environmental procarcinogens to reactive, carcinogenic intermediates, while phase II is responsible for the removal of active carcinogens. The formula of *BODYPROTECTOR* combines 7 super anti-oxidative elements, which are able to boost phase I liver detoxification, help facilitate the fat-soluble toxins to enter the detoxification process, preventing membrane from being damaged by accumulated air pollutants, which may affect organs including lung and brain.

2. Unique product that contains 20 natural antioxidants

Formula includes elements for combating environmental pollutant, 4 vitamins, 5 minerals and 8 herbs extracts, to fight against internal and external environmental toxins

3 Elements for combating environmental pollutant

Each antioxidant of ProtekU Plus plays a different role in the body, and has its own unique function. They are inseparable in the antioxidant process of the lungs, brain and liver.

3. Three-Ways Facilitate Synergistic Efficiency

i) Strengthen the Efficiency of Detoxification
The main elements of detoxification are included in ProtekU Plus. Vitamin E, vitamin C and glutathione can help alleviate the harm form free radicals inside the body, and help the body to detoxify gradually.
Adding these elements into the body can enhance the synergistic efficiency of detoxification and help protect body health by eliminating the free radicals or toxins produced in everyday life or by itself.

ii) Maintaining the activity of Vitamin C and E
The formula of ProtekU Plus can maintain the activity of vitamin C and E. β-carotene can help recycle vitamin C efficiently, thus increasing the utilization of vitamin C, and recycling vitamin E recycling as well. Glutathione can help maintain the activity of vitamin C and vitamin E. It cannot work efficaciously if one of these nutrients was missing.

iii) Increasing the Level of Glutathione
Glutathione enhances immunity and is also a powerful antidote. In human cells, glutathione is a natural antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in cells and helps to eliminate oncogenes and toxins, such as vehicle exhaust, tobacco, heavy metals, alcohol, as well as many pesticides and industrial chemicals. Selenium and Vitamin B2 can effectively increase the ability of recycle and detoxification of glutathione. Meanwhile, NAC is a precursor of glutathione, and it can raise glutathione level. Some researches have shown that if we consume glutathione in a single form, the majority of glutathione will be hydrolyzed by stomache, hence, the absorption rate of glutathione alone is undesirable1. Therefore, consuming NAC together with glutathione production can enhance the level of glutathione in human body effectively.
