Ultra Preventive 50+ has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions and bioavailable forms of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients to support foundational health, cellular energy, vision, and cognition.

With Coenzyme Q10
The body’s ability to maintain high ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) levels naturally declines with age. CoQ10 is an important rate-limiting cofactor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, in which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is generated to produce metabolic energy. Since nearly all cellular activities are dependent upon metabolic energy, CoQ10 is essential for the health of tissues and organs with a high metabolic demand, especially the heart.

Lutein & Zeaxanthin
Lutein and zeaxanthin are important antioxidants in the macula of the eye. Recent studies performed by the NIH National Eye Institute have underscored the importance of these carotenoids in macular function, indicating that a dose of 10 mg lutein and 2 mg zeaxanthin offers macular health benefits. Lycopene is another carotenoid that provides antioxidant and cellular support for prostate, lung, cervical, breast and cardiovascular health.

Berries are rich in beneficial phytochemicals known as polyphenols. It is well-documented that blueberries and fruit polyphenols play a significant role in cognitive function as we age. Ultra Preventive 50+ features Neurophenol, a proprietary blend of standardized wild blueberry and grape seed extracts. The active polyphenols in Neurophenol include flavonoids such as anthocyanins and phenolic acids, resveratrol, and proanthocyanidin dimers and oligomers (also known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins, or OPCs).

Human, animal and cellular studies suggest that Neurophenol supports neuronal function, at least in part by supporting antioxidant defenses, cytokine balance and healthy gene expression. Animal research suggests that Neurophenol may also support spatial memory, which is essential for recording information about orientation in the environment. In a recent multi-national study of 200 older adults, Neurophenol provided significant support for cognitive performance and memory at a dose of 600 mg per day over a six-month period. This provided significant support for episodic memory and verbal recognition memory, which reflect the ability to recognize previous events. Neurophenol also helped to maintain a healthy cognitive age. These findings were significant in the lowest quartiles of initial cognitive performance. Neurophenol provided significant support for episodic memory and verbal recognition memory. Neurophenol also promoted the ability to encode and retrieve verbal information. For both outcomes, significant support was evident in the lowest quartiles of initial performance. These actions may be explained, in part, by modulation of the expression of genes involved in neuronal plasticity.
