Numerous studies link carotenoids — yellow, orange, red, and green pigments in fruits and vegetables — to reduced risks for cancer and heart disease, enhanced immunity, and tissue protection. Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of carotenoids, but most people do not eat the 5-9 daily servings recommended for optimal health. GNLD’s Daily Carotenoid Complex is a whole-food supplement whose benefits have been demonstrated in human studies conducted by USDA and university researchers. Each capsule provides the complete carotenoid value of an optimal serving of a wide variety of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables.

Cruciferous vegetables — the family that includes broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and collard greens — contain special phytonutrients that are not found in any other foods and may lower the risk of certain cancers, especially breast, prostate, and digestive tract cancers. The American Cancer Society recommends eating one serving of cruciferous vegetables every day, but most of us only eat one serving a week. Each Cruciferous Plus tablet provides the phytonutrient value of an optimal serving of a wide variety of cruciferous vegetables.

Flavonoids are water-soluble antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, tea, and wine. Colorful pigments, they are responsible for brilliant blues, purples, and greens, as well as yellows, oranges, and reds which cannot be attributed to carotenoids. Research links them to reduced risks for cancer, heart disease, and other age-related degenerative diseases, as well as antioxidant protection of body fluids such as blood. GNLD’s Flavonoid Complex provides diverse phytonutrients from an optimal serving of fruits and vegetables, plus catechins from green tea and ellagic acid from grapes, cranberries, and other berries.

PhytoDefense delivers the broad phytonutrient protection of six optimal servings of fruits and vegetables in one convenient pack. Each PhytoDefense pack contains GNLD’s exclusive, patented Carotenoid Complex™ (3 capsules), which delivers antioxidant protection from free radical damage for the lipid portions of cells; Flavonoid Complex™ (2 capsules) to help protect the watery portions inside and around cells; and Cruciferous Plus™ (1 tablet) which provides nutrients that work with naturally-occurring hormones and enzymes to promote good health.
