Apple Polyphenols

There is a large body of research on the health
benefits of polyphenols (generally derived from
red wine, green tea, black tea, fruits and
vegetables), which attribute health benefits in
the prevention of:

  • cardiovascular diseases
  • cancers
  • osteoporosis
  • neurodegenerative disease
  • diabetes

Polyphenols have also been known to remove oxygen radicals in the body, a substance that may cause cancer and accelerate the process of aging. 

Apple PolyphenolsIn addition, it was recently discovered during a study of apple polyphenols in Japan (in 2004) that apple polyphenols had a significant effect on muscle strength and reduction of organ fat.  They have also been found to boost the immune system and measurably extend life span!

Apple polyphenols are made with immature green apples (which are 10 times more potent than mature fruit), derived exclusively from the peels (the richest source of phytonutrients).

Apple polyphenols are 18 times more potent than Vitamin C.  In addition to the super-modulation of oxidative stress, they appear to play a role in the prevention of degenerative diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Best of all, apple polyphenols are water soluble, where most other polyphenols are not.  This allows for the nutrients to be absorbed quickly and easily.

It appears to be the original "fountain of youth" and best of all, it is found in ordinary green apples!
