Network Antioxidants
Ionizing radiation results when high energy particles or rays break chemical bonds in our body, creating unstable, very reactive ions or “Free RadicalS”. To regain stability, Free Radicals steal electrons from neighbors creating damage to cell structure and function. The Free Radical Theory of Aging (FRTA) states that we age because Free Radicals damage our DNA, RNA, protein, sugar and fat molecules, creating Oxidative Stress - a very disruptive process resulting in Inflammation - leading to chronic degenerative disease, early aging and premature death. Free Radicals come from air and water pollutants, drugs and chemicals, ozone, cigarettes, high altitude flying, mountain climbing and severe physical exercise, mental/ psychological/ emotional stress, etc. The job of protecting us from Free Radicals belongs to a special group of compounds - the Antioxidants - with the amazing ability of stopping oxidation of our body. There are five super Network Antioxidants -that actively synergize, boost and recycle each other: Glutathione, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
XRAY-Protect
X-rays can damage our body’s DNA and RNA molecules, creating genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Especially for exposed dental & medical radiological staff and their patients, atomic energy workers, researchers using radioactive materials, jet pilots & crew, x-ray security scanners and frequent flyers at 30,000ft. Fortunately, there is a vitamin thoroughly researched by the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) that can protect the human body from ionizing radation. This special vitamin is “Delta-Tocotrienol” - the smallest in the vitamin E family of eight members - considered the best-in-class, fat-soluble, antioxidant & anti-inflammatory agent. It was awarded an International World Patent (WO2009126866A2): Delta-Tocotrienol as a Radioprotective Countermeasure agent - claims a method of treating the effects of radiation exposure in a subject; wherein the radiation is ionizing radiation - which is alpha-radiation, beta-radiation, gamma-radiation, X-radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and neutrons… wherein the composition is administered orally and significantly enhances subject survivability.
Tocotrienols
Some Benefits of Tocotrienols are:
Powerful Antioxidant: Delta tocotrienols exhibit strong antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.
Heart Health: They may support cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol levels, improving blood vessel function, and reducing the risk of plaque buildup in arteries.
Cancer Prevention: Some studies suggest that delta tocotrienols may have anti-cancer properties, potentially inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
Brain Health: Delta tocotrienols may support cognitive function and protect brain cells from oxidative damage, potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Geranylgeraniol
Some Benefits of Geranylgeraniol are:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Production: Geranylgeraniol is a precursor molecule that supports the body's natural production of Coenzyme Q10, which is essential for cellular energy production.
Heart Health: CoQ10 produced from Geranylgeraniol may help improve cardiovascular health by supporting proper heart function and blood vessel health.
Antioxidant Support: Geranylgeraniol may help protect cells from oxidative damage by promoting the production of antioxidant enzymes.
Potential Cancer Prevention: There is ongoing research into Geranylgeraniol's potential role in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, especially in certain cancer types.

Tocotrienols as an Anti-Breast Cancer Agent (2021)
One group of natural compounds in particular, tocotrienols, has demonstrated significant potential as an anti-breast cancer agent . Known for their potent antioxidant activity, the innate anticancer properties of these unsaturated isoforms of vitamin E are often overlooked. This review will summarize current evidence and the potential of tocotrienols as an anticancer agent

Neuroprotective and Anti-Obesity Effects of Tocotrienols (2019)
Vitamin E is a natural lipophilic vitamin, and the most famous function of vitamin E is an antioxidant activity. Because we have α-tocopherol transfer protein, many vitamin E-related reports are about α-tocopherol. Recently, other vitamin E isoforms, tocotrienols are focusing. Because tocotrienols have unique biological functions such as induction of apoptosis, neuroprotective and anti-obesity effects.

Vitamin E and cancer: an update on the emerging role of γ and δ tocotrienols (2019)
Vitamin E is a potential candidate due to its safety. Accumulating evidence on the anti-cancer potency of vitamin E has shifted the focus from tocopherols (TOCs) to tocotrienols (TTs). γ-TT and δ-TT have the highest anti-cancer activities and target common molecular pathways involved in the inhibition of the cell cycle, the induction of apoptosis and autophagy, and the inhibition of invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis.
