Supports cellular integrity and DNA health.
XR Shield
Spirulina, lemon balm + ginkgo biloba
Dietary supplement, 90 V capsules
XR Shield from the American company Life Extension is a natural product that supports cellular integrity and optimal DNA functioning.
Main benefits:
Helps maintain cellular integrity and DNA health.
It contributes to a strong immune system.
Provides powerful antioxidant protection.
From the sun's ultraviolet radiation to X-rays from medical diagnostic imaging procedures such as CT scans, ionizing radiation consists of waves and particles with enough energy to affect the very atoms that make us up. It can produce free radicals with the potential to interact with living tissues and damage cellular structures, including the fragile DNA of any organism.
In addition to limiting and/or avoiding excessive exposure to ionizing radiation from various sources (e.g., repeated transcontinental airplane travel and frequent medical diagnostic imaging procedures such as CT and/or PET scans), additional cellular support during exposure to ionizing radiation helps maintain optimal health.
A review of the published scientific literature reveals that certain nutrients may contribute to maintaining and nourishing the body's cellular integrity when exposed to ionizing radiation.
Life Extension's XR Shield contains 3 powerful antioxidants that support and maintain cell integrity - spirulina powder, lemon balm extract /Melissa officinalis/ and ginkgo biloba leaf extract /Ginkgo biloba/, standardized to 24% ginkgo-flavone glycosides, 6% total terpene lactones.
Lemon balm extract possesses a variety of active ingredients that contribute to its ability to scavenge free radicals. In clinical studies, lemon balm tea has been shown to support the production of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, and catalase, the body's defense against oxidative damage, and the optimal function of skin cells exposed to UV radiation. It has been found to promote DNA and cellular stability in hospital workers exposed to ionizing radiation.
Ginkgo biloba extract contributes to the body's counteraction against reactive oxygen species resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation.
Preclinical studies have shown that spirulina increases cellular antioxidant defenses against radiation-induced free radical damage. It also enhances and modulates the immune response to tissue damage. Preclinical data suggest that spirulina and phycocyanin, a pigment extracted from it, support normal cell function after exposure to ionizing radiation.
