詳細資料
GlutaQ固美清結合槲皮素、還原型穀胱甘肽和紅菜頭等成份,為身體建構一個能促進細胞健康、穀胱甘肽合成和支援免疫系統的最佳狀態。透過結合這些成份,支援健康線粒體的活性,進而提升身體對葡萄糖的反應,以及認知與神經健康。雖然GlutaQ固美清的獨特配方含有支援抗氧化的成份,提供許多與衰老和細胞相關的好處,但其真正好處在於這些抗氧化物在細胞內部能發揮最佳功效。穀胱甘肽是細胞內的抗氧化物 — 能中和引致衰老的自由基。GlutaQ固美清的另一個優勢是採用了還原形式的穀胱甘肽。
最近,細胞自噬的概念成為了熱門話題。細胞自噬的英文autophagy中的“auto”來自希臘語,意思是「自己」,而“phagy”則指「吃或吃的行為」。細胞自噬是促進身體自我調節和自動偵測細胞健康,以及識別受損細胞的機制,幫助身體製造和再生更健康的細胞時,亦可清除受損細胞。這種自我調節和偵測功能,對細胞產生能量、支援免疫和神經系統的效率有重大影響。細胞自噬有助維持細胞健康及其功能,因為它是身體支援健康細胞代謝的方式。
我們體內的細胞數量和執行與以往相同強度功能的運作能力,會隨年齡遞增而自然下降。槲皮素和穀胱甘肽能透過為細胞提供能量,協助健康的細胞生長。衰老是無可避免的,但多項研究發現,我們可利用一些方法來延緩衰老、保持青春。GlutaQ固美清的三大成份能產生協同運作,透過促進年輕活躍的細胞週期來維持細胞健康及其功能,進而幫助調節身體的免疫系統。
槲皮素和穀胱甘肽具有支援免疫力的抗氧化特性,能協助細胞對抗氧化壓力,在促進健康細胞功能中發揮重要作用。它們調節自由基的能力是透過支援正常細胞週期活動來促進細胞健康。穀胱甘肽是一種在肝臟和身體各種組織中自然產生的重要分子,擔任細胞的天然「清道夫」,幫助識別並轉化身體細胞內的毒素,並由代謝排出體外。由於穀胱甘肽是體內重要的抗氧化物,主要集中在肝臟、肺部、心臟和骨骼肌肉等位置,在支援免疫功能和對抗氧化壓力方面亦發揮關鍵作用。一般來說,穀胱甘肽的功能與汽車的催化轉換器相似,負責清潔並消除有害排放物,從而提高汽車的整體表現和性能。
槲皮素是類黃酮的一種來源,具有促進肥大細胞活動的作用,有助補充能量並維持免疫系統健康。補充槲皮素有助培養健康飲食和維持細胞健康。讓槲皮素得以在體內發揮作用的一個獨特因素是,它可成為鋅離子載體。這表示槲皮素能協助鋅的使用,或透過脂質膜的運輸過程,促進健康衰老及支援健康的免疫系統。即使正確選擇食物,我們仍可能缺乏支援和維持健康飲食所需的適量維他命或營養素;營養不足會對免疫系統的活動和功能構成影響。雖然這取決於個人對食物種類和分量的攝取,但人體每日的槲皮素攝取量平均為10-100毫克,這表示如果在健康飲食中加入槲皮素營養補充品,會對身體有益。
廣受歡迎的紅菜頭憑藉其心形葉子而為人所熟識,其食用歷史可追溯到中世紀,埃及人、希臘人和羅馬人將其用於各種烹飪及藥物上。希臘人更將紅菜頭用於美容上,認為它能保持年輕美貌。紅菜頭被證實能支援健康免疫系統,或有助支援心血管健康。GlutaQ固美清含250毫克紅菜頭,是槲皮素的黃金拍檔。此外,紅菜頭粉是血管中硝酸鹽的一種來源,支援衰老細胞的能量。硝酸鹽又稱甜菜鹼,存在於紅菜頭中,能促進人體、血管系統和細胞內一氧化氮的健康水平。紅菜頭或有助維持健康細胞功能,對於健康人士而言,它可協助細胞有效運用氧氣,細胞儲存氧氣的時間越長,轉換為能量及血管質量就越好。由於紅菜頭具有支援體內血液和氧氣的循環功能,因此它能促進體力、耐力、能量和運動後的復原能力。
一項以疲竭時間作為衡量標準(運動員進行特定間歇強度運動所用的時間)的研究顯示,無論是即時攝取還是長期補充紅菜頭,或可提升運動表現,對增加運動耐力和活力產生正面效果。(1)事實上,紅菜頭能促進運動表現,就像踏汽車油門來加速一樣。
GlutaQ固美清是一款純素、無麩質的膳食營養補充品,提供眾多優質的健康好處,包括支援健康免疫系統及年輕細胞週期,幫助維持細胞健康和運作。人體就像汽車一樣,當獲得適當的燃料和護理,便可運作得更順暢。這樣便能保持活力及年輕。GlutaQ固美清特選多種獨特成份,產生協同運作,更快速有效地發揮作用,較單獨使用每種成份更能加強健康好處。GlutaQ固美清有助為身體補充燃料,「極速驅動夢想人生」。

GlutaQ固美清
成份
Opitac穀胱甘肽‡(250毫克)
穀胱甘肽是由氨基酸甘胺酸、半胱胺酸和麩胺酸組成的三胜肽。穀胱甘肽存在於水果和蔬菜中,也天然存在於人體內。穀胱甘肽主要在肝臟合成,亦存在於所有細胞內,協助DNA合成和修復、蛋白質合成、氨基酸輸送、激活酵素和其他細胞功能。穀胱甘肽有兩種形式︰非活性形式的氧化穀胱甘肽(GSSG),及活性形式的還原型穀胱甘肽(GSH或L-穀胱甘肽)。穀胱甘肽是一種主要抗氧化物,在身體很多不同部位運作:排毒、肝臟活動、細胞之間的訊息傳遞、衰老和免疫功能。還原型穀胱甘肽在細胞和線粒體層面上負責中和氧化細胞,充當自由基的「清道夫」,讓細胞在最少的干擾下運作。
槲皮素二水合物(300毫克)
槲皮素是一種被稱為類黃酮的代謝物,天然存在於植物性食物中,如洋蔥、蘋果、莓果、茶、紅酒,以及一些樹木,如日本槐樹。槲皮素的一個重要好處是,它有助鋅輸送到細胞,以支援其生物活性,這不僅表示它的類黃酮有益於植物的一系列生物活性,亦保護它們免受各種生物和非生物壓力影響。類黃酮屬於抗氧化物,有助細胞健康、免疫和認知健康。
紅菜頭萃取物(250毫克)
紅菜頭屬於根莖類蔬菜,由於營養價值甚高,故近年越來越受歡迎。它含有豐富的硝酸鹽,令紅菜頭和紅菜頭汁具有眾多健康好處。研究顯示,在飲食中進食含有豐富硝酸鹽和亞硝酸鹽的食物,尤其是天然食物,如蔬菜而非加工肉類,可支援心血管健康,如支援健康的血液流量。硝酸鹽會在人體內轉化成一氧化氮,此分子可使血管擴張。

常見問答
懷孕婦女可否食用GlutaQ固美清?
正在懷孕或哺乳期的婦女,使用本產品前應先諮詢其醫護人員。
此營養補充品如何支援細胞內的線粒體?
線粒體,常被稱為細胞的「動力源」或「引擎」,能將三磷酸腺苷(ATP)這種能量輸送到體內紅血球以外的所有細胞。每個細胞都需要ATP才能正常運作,例如:它在我們進行體力活動時提供所需體力及保持耐力。細胞內的線粒體數量和質量會隨年齡遞增而自然下降。衰老、缺乏鍛煉、不良飲食習慣等因素都會減弱線粒體執行相同功能或強度的能力。GlutaQ固美清有助支援將營養素輸送到細胞線粒體,以維護健康的線粒體功能,並透過延長細胞儲存氧氣的時間,來延長細胞的壽命。
食用槲皮素營養補充品需注意哪些事項?
如果你正在服用處方藥物或患有長期疾病,使用本產品前請先諮詢你的醫護人員。由於本產品含有檞皮素,若你正在服用環孢素(cyclosporine)、雌二醇(estradiol)或非洛地平(felodipine),使用本產品前請先諮詢你的醫護人員。使用本產品期間,請勿服用抗生素。正在懷孕或哺乳期的婦女,使用本產品前請先諮詢你的醫護人員。如果你對以上所列的任何成份過敏,請勿使用本產品。
GlutaQ固美清對於患有腎病或容易出現腎臟問題的人是否安全?
槲皮素的攝取量超過建議攝取量,或與肝臟代謝的其他藥物及/或腎臟問題相關。有發現指,攝取過量紅菜頭或會對腎臟造成影響,但並沒有實質證據表明紅菜頭粉營養補充品會對肝臟造成不良影響。
哪些營養補充品可與本產品一起配搭食用?
GlutaQ固美清可與Isotonix®菠蘿酵素沖飲及Isotonix®維他命C沖飲一起配搭使用,這兩款產品均可支援健康免疫系統。檞皮素的生物可利用性低,不容易被人體吸收。但研究發現,將槲皮素與維他命C及/或菠蘿酵素一起食用,或有助身體更有效吸收槲皮素,讓其好處發揮得更好。
穀胱甘肽可提供哪些額外好處?
研究顯示,補充穀胱甘肽或可支援認知健康。
