Basics
Even necessary biological processes like the transformation of food into energy have a down side; as we age, it gets harder and harder for our bodies to cope with the residual damage these processes ultimately cause. Along with nutritional deficiencies, the unavoidable side effects of these processes trigger 50 to 70 percent of the health concerns which affect us today. Meanwhile, aging itself has become the most critical risk factor for all of the ailments that will determine our fates in the 21st century: cardiovascular disease, dementia, diabetes, osteoporosis and even cancer.
Promoting healthy aging naturally requires protecting against the two major contributors to failing health: hidden unhealthy inflammatory responses within the body and oxidative cell damage caused by free radicals.
Enemy Number One: Cellular Inflammatory Processes
Internal stress triggered by silent unhealthy cellular inflammatory processes can go unnoticed for many years. These unhealthy processes, however, can play an essential role in paving the way for many major age-related ailments. Our cardiovascular system is particularly affected, and the relationship between these processes, cardiovascular disease and a weakened immune system has been thoroughly investigated. Inflammatory markers in the blood can also be indicators of other issues such as decreased cognitive function, unhealthy cell growth and function, metabolic concerns and conditions like osteoporosis.
Healthy cellular inflammatory processes are normal mechanisms of healing which the body employs to ward off infections and pathogens. These healthy processes are triggered by certain food molecules, namely omega-6 fatty acids, and halted via their natural antagonists, omega-3 fatty acids. The problem is that in our modern human diet, the pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, especially those found in industrially-processed vegetable oils, outweigh omega-3 fatty acids such as those found in cold-water fish, walnuts, linseed, rapeseed and hemp, by as much as twenty-to-one! This imbalance contributes to unhealthy cellular inflammatory processes in each of the body’s organs.
Enemy Number Two: Oxidative Stress
The vital process of metabolic energy production involving the use of oxygen is naturally accompanied by the risk of continuous cell damage from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress, which occurs when the cell is attacked by aggressive oxygen molecules, may be compared to the rusting or oxidation of iron. The human body contains over 100,000,000,000,000 mitochondria; miniature “power plants” located inside each cell which are responsible for the formation of chemical energy carriers. In each of these tiny structures, every second of the day tens of thousands of oxygen atoms turn into explosive objects called free radicals, just because they’re missing a single electron. These free radicals wrestle an electron from another molecule, and in doing so turn their victim into a radical atom as well. This triggers a chain reaction of unimaginable dimensions!
The protective mechanisms of our cells are able to cope to a certain degree; but our lifestyles, environmental toxins, the electromagnetic radiation of laptops and TV screens, harmful effects of stimulants like coffee, alcohol, tobacco and even stress have the potential to multiply these aggressive molecules. Ultimately, oxidative stress can lead to cell destruction. When too many cells are affected too quickly, we age prematurely – if left to continue unchecked, entire organs may cease to function properly.
At some stage of their lives, millions of people will have to combat one or several of the following three major threats: cardiovascular concerns, cognitive decline and unhealthy cell growth and function.
For the first time, modern scientific research has discovered ways to help promote healthy aging using special plant substances, or “new phytamines.” These plant substances evolved to fulfill specific functions in plants, such as offering protection against heat and cold, but also help protect the plant against viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens and other disease factors. Plants have developed these phytochemicals throughout time because they are physically unable to evade attacks. Ancient civilizations revered Nature’s treasure trove of herbs and plants and have understood their significance for some 10,000 years, during which they have been able to achieve astonishing effects by using these botanical substances.

OPC is able to pass through the protective blood-brain barrier and even appears to protect healthy brain tissue, thus its reputation as a protector of healthy cognitive function.
EPA, DHA: The most important omega-3 fatty acids are obtained from algae and fat-rich sea fish. The average amount of these fatty acids typically obtained from food is far below the amount recommended by scientists. A dramatic imbalance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is associated with an extremely high risk of disease. Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are available in pharmaceutically-pure form in softgel capsules.
Uses
ResverChron® was designed for broad-spectrum use to support healthy aging, in compliance with the results from countless scientific studies and treatment observations.The following overview shows some of the numerous ways secondary plant constituents have been found to produce positive changes subject to certain circumstances:
