Cells | Free Radicals | Antioxidants

• Every cell in your body needs oxygen to function.
• Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration.
• During cellular respiration, cell use oxygen to break down sugar.
• Free radicals cause “oxidative stress” – damage to parts of cells such as proteins, DNA and cell membranes by stealing electrons.
• Free radicals are toxic byproducts of oxygen metabolism that can cause significant damage to living cells and tissues.
• Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the primary antioxidant enzyme, and polyphenols are secondary antioxidants.Both are in THRIV5 products to help counteract oxidative stress and repair cell damage.
• Oxidative stress is the known cause of more than 200 diseases.
• Antioxidants keep free radicals in check.
• Antioxidants are molecules in cells that prevent free radicals from taking electrons and causing damage.
• Antioxidants are able to give an electron to a free radical without becoming destabilized themselves, thus stopping the free radical chain reaction.
• The THRIV5 line contains multidimensional products (patent pending*) that increase the capacity of significant antioxidants to repair damaged cells.

So, What Is SOD?

Scientifically speaking, superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that alternately catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide radical into either ordinary molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide is produced as a byproduct of oxygen metabolism and, if not regulated, causes many types of cell damage.

• SOD is arguably the body’s most crucial antioxidant, responsible for disarming dangerous free radicals.
• Superoxide radicals, or anions (negatively charged atoms), are produced when oxygen gains an excess electron.
• Sometimes regular antioxidants are not enough to fight off free radicals.
• Our powerful formula containing a blend of super antioxidants PLUS the highly potent SOD, our formula works the hardest to keep you healthy!

What Does THRIV5 Do For Your Immune System?

THRIV5 maximizes the body's immunity.

• Strengthens the immune system and helps combats viruses
• Helps the immune system identify and destroy invaders
• Enhances the cellular immune system
• Enhances cellular communication and signaling processes
• Supports the body’s ability to destroy pathogens
• Reduces oxidative stress, enhances the body’s first and second defense system with active signaling to identify foreign invaders and destroy them
