PERQUE Repair Guard offers antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients

The antioxidants protect cells from free radicals caused by pollution, smoking, drinking alcohol, and other sources. As a result, this PERQUE product promotes cellular health. PERQUE Repair Guard is trophorestorative.* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Advil™ or ibuprofen, work by blocking the body’s cyclooxygenase system even though this enzyme catalyst is essential for the body to repair itself. NSAID side effects include dizziness, constipation, ringing in the ears, increased blood pressure and intestinal ulcers. COX2 inhibitors such as Celebrex™ can increase risk of heart attack and stroke.* PERQUE Repair Guard achieves similar benefits in safer and more effective, natural ways. When healthy repair is restored and completed, a down regulation of COX2 occurs naturally.*

• Stimulating natural cell repair
• Managing inflammation
• Restoring healthy repair and when completed, a down regulation of COX2 occurs naturally
• Providing prompt healing relief*

PERQUE Repair Guard enhances both the innate immune system in the body and the ability to repair more than any other anti-inflammatory or flavonoid/flavanol combination.*

Unique Antioxidant Synergies

Quercetin dihydrate (1000 mg) is the safest and most easily absorbed form of quercetin.* The body only assimilates about 1% of most forms of quercetin, yet it easily absorbs 100% of monomeric quercetin dihydrate.* Pomegranate juice powder (60 mg) is a potent antioxidant known for its pro-repair, anti-inflammatory, free radical trapping properties.* OPC flavanols (10 mg) provide advanced cell stress protection and connective tissue (collagen and elastin) restoration.* ORAC values refer to the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity of a food which denotes its antioxidant power. With the superior antioxidant ingredients in PERQUE Repair Guard, when tested, it was found to have an ORAC value of 485,600 per 100 grams much higher than the well-known antioxidant rich foods like mangosteen, dark cherry, and prunes. According to USDA criteria, one (1) PERQUE Repair Guard has the ORAC protection equal to a dozen portions of fruits and vegetables.

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins: OPCS

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins are known collectively as OPCs. PERQUE Repair Guard’s OPCs can be absorbed into cell membranes, protecting against both fat- and water-soluble free radicals.* OPCs are also able to cross the blood-brain barrier and protect the brain against oxidative stress and free-radical damage.* Because OPCs are so diverse, they deliver synergistic antioxidant benefits with vitamins C or E.* In addition, OPCs quench the free radicals involved in inflammation and allergies. They also enhance the effectiveness of the body’s natural killer cells and boost the body’s natural anticancer defenses.*

Pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum) possesses the following properties:

1. Phenomenal antioxidant and anti inflammatory results,
2. Strong bacteriostatic effects,
3. Contains polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins that have anti-atherosclerotic properties.
4. Prostate health promotion, and
5. Cancer risk reduction.*
