Dr. Whitaker’s new PhytoNutrient Essentials is a powerhouse blend of nutrients that contains the key antioxidants found in foods, especially those found in colorful fruits and vegetables. They’re absolutely packed with antioxidants that help fight free-radical damage—the leading theory of why we age, and why some people age better than others.
PhytoNutrient Essentials gives you:
- 1,000 mg of cinnamon powder, which may contribute to healthy glucose, homocysteine, and triglyceride levels
- Resveratrol, found primarily in red grapes, that can help support your brain function and cardiovascular system
- An exclusive, high-ORAC-value berry blend that offers outstanding cellular antioxidant support
- Substantial amounts of lutein, the best-known eye health nutrient
- A full 2 mg of lycopene, to promote normal tissue and support healthy prostate and breast tissue
PhytoNutrient Essentials is a major component of Dr. Whitaker’s newly improved Forward Plus Daily Regimen®. But you can also take additional amounts for extra antioxidant support. It’s no substitute for a healthy diet, of course, but 2 capsules offer you the antioxidant power of 2 cups of spinach, 1 small tomato, 1 cup of raspberries, and 2 1/2 glasses of red wine!
