Helix Balance

HelixBalance is a food supplement aimed at protecting DNA and other cell structures from oxidative stress-induced damage by means of its ingredients’ antioxidant properties.

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (1). Each capsule of HelixBalance contains a quantity of Vitamin E (12 mg), corresponding to 100% of its Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) (2).

Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, is associated with antioxidant properties in several studies. It promotes anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects too (3). In particular, it is associated with the epigenetic regulation of onco-suppressor genes (4).

Rhubarb extract is added to support resveratrol action by means of emodin, an anthraquinone associated with the epigenetic regulation of genes involved in cancer development (4, 5). Its dosage is optimized to avoid any laxative effect.

Ingredients: Resveratrol (Polygonum cuspidatum root dry extract 98%), bulking agent: Acacia gum; vegetable capsule (hypromellose), Rhubarbar (Rheum palmatum L. a n d Rheum officinale Baill.) root dry extract (5% total hydroxyanthracene derivatives expressed as reine), pregelatinized Maize starch, D-alpha Tocopheryl acetate (natural Vitamin E), Maize starch, anti-caking agent: Glyceryl behenate.
