Proc3G from Black Rice Extract 100 mg 60 Veg Caps

In the discussion of high-powered antioxidants, there have historically been two main contenders: vitamin C and resveratrol. Careful and extensive research has demonstrated that these two nutrients deliver antioxidant protection against free radicals, thus helping us live longer, healthier lives. Now comes C3G (Cyanidin-3-glucoside), the next generation in cutting-edge, anti-aging nutraceuticals. ProC3G(TM) is a highly concentrated, natural source C3G supplement derived from Oryza sativa black rice. With a 35% C3G content, it delivers 10 times more C3G than the best-selling anthocyanin extracts on the market today. Each capsule of Swanson Ultra ProC3G delivers 35 mg of C3G. Anthocyanins (particularly C3G) have been found to nourish the body by supporting a variety of fundamental mechanisms. C3G may defend against free radicals generated by oxidative stress and has been shown to support healthy cellular aging through its powerful antioxidant activity. In addition, published studies reveal benefits for specific parts of the body: Vision & Eye Health --a 2011 study found that C3G defends the retina from the potentially harmful effects of light. Cardiovascular Health --a 2009 study suggests that C3G may support healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range; a 2011 study demonstrated that C3G supports healthy blood flow and vasodilation (widening of the blood vessels). Glucose Metabolism --C3G was shown in preliminary models to support the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels through vascular mechanisms and the promotion of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Weight Loss --in vitro research suggests that anthocyanins may influence gene expression for fat metabolism, signaling the body to burn rather than store fat.
