Celapro (used to be Cell Protect)
Promotes Healthy Cellular Ageing
Each Softgel Supplies:
300mg Green Tea Leaf Extract (Camellia sinensis)
[provides 60% (180
mg) total polyphenols (tea catechins), 30% (90 mg) epigallocatechin
gallate (EGCG)††; 500mg D-Limonene (from sweet Orange peel oil (Citrus
sinensis); 3mg Lycopene; 50mg Turmeric Rhizome Extract (Curmuma longa)
(standardised to 95% (47mg) curcuminoids).
Metagenics Cell Protect (Celapro)
Support the Cellular Mechanisms that promote
Healthy Ageing
Potential benefits of Metagenics Cell Protect:
-
Helps promote the healthy function and
ageing of cells, which may optimise the performance of organs and
systems throughout life
-
Protects DNA from damaging free radicals
and the cellular changes they can initiate
-
Excellent protection for hormone sensitive
tissues such as the breast and prostate, as well as the colon and
lungs
-
Supports the detoxification of substances
such as nitrosamines and unneeded oestrogenic compounds
-
Proprietary combination of high potency
extracts and actives eliminates the need for multiple products
(please

Lycopene with Excellent
Bioavailability
The lycopene in Metagenics Cell Support
is in the form of an oil suspension. New research shows that lycopene
mixed with oil is more bioavailable than powdered forms. In fact, it
is even more bioavailable than lycopene from raw tomatoes.
Turmeric Synergizes with
Green Tea
Preliminary research has
demonstrated that a combination of curcumin and epigallocatechingallate
(EGCG) from green tea has an interactive, synergistic effect. This data
suggests that the combination may be more effective than either used
alone in promoting cellular health.
Promoting a Healthy Cell
Life Cycle
Not only are antioxidant
and detoxification pathways important for cellular integrity and health,
but signaling (or communication) pathways that can influence the cell
life cycle are emerging as important targets for nutritional support.
Green Tea
-
Green tea promotes healthy
tissues on many levels.
-
Green tea has direct
antioxidant activity
-
Green tea increases
the activity of antioxidant enzymes
-
Green tea supports the
production of immune cells
-
Green tea helps protect
tissues from the effects of substances such as nitrosamines
-
Green tea supports glucuronidation
of oestrogen
-
Green tea inhibits the
activation of proteins in the signaling (communication) pathways
that may initiate unwanted cellular changes
-
Green tea (theaflavins)
chelate heavy metals and scavenge free radicals
-
Green tea (polyphenols)
seem to exert protective effects on lipoproteins
-
Green tea (EGCG) is
a specific polyphenol under intense investigation for its apparent
ability to support healthy, normal cell replication.
The Green tea in Cell Protect
(Celapro) also supplies 10 to 20mg of caffeine per capsule (one 6oz
cup of coffee contains 100mg), which is associated with its positive
biological activity.
In fact, a study on premenopausal
women showed that caffeine-containing green tea appeared to favourably
affect hormone levels associated with breast health.
The caffeine in green tea
does not appear to produce a stimulant effect, even in those quite sensitive
to caffeine; this is believed to be due to the theanine content of green
tea.
D-Limonene
D-Limonene supports the
metabolism and detoxification of hormones and other substances that
can affect cellular DNA and cell growth. D-Limonene accomplishes this
by enhancing levels of Phase I and Phase II detoxification enzymes.
In addition, it interacts with signaling pathways gone awry that may
lead to unrestrained cellular growth.
D-Limonene is found in small
amounts in a variety of foods (e.g. 8 oz orange juice contains 19mg)
and volatile oils - particularly citrus oils. It has been isolated,
concentrated, and used successfully in animals and humans to promote
normal cell life cycles.
Lycopene
The lycopene in Cell Support
(Celapro) is highly bioavailable. Lycopene is the carotenoid that gives
tomatoes their red colour and it may be an even more potent free radical
quencher than beta-carotene.
Lycopene imparts multiple
health benefits to tissues, glands and organs susceptible to excess
oxidative stress and cellular changes, such as the prostate, breast,
cervix, cardiovascular system, and gastrointestinal tract.
Lycopene may protect cell
membranes and low-density lipoproteins from oxidation as well as protect
proteins, genes, and DNA from free radicals, thereby influencing metabolic
function and genetic expression.
Although lycopene's antioxidant
properties are believed to be its primary mechanism of promoting tissue
health, evidence is accumulating to suggest other possibilities.
These include roles in improving
intercellular communication and influencing hormonal, immune system,
and metabolic pathways.
Turmeric
Curcumin from turmeric has
also been shown to support cell health and a normal cell life cycle
through its antioxidant enhancing properties, and its influence on cell
signaling pathways.
Turmeric may also protect
cells from xenoestrogen stimulation and support immune function.
