Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. Atoms combine to form molecules, unique chemical combinations of atoms held together by a chemical bond. The body uses different molecules as a way to signal changes needed or to communicate both within the cell and outside the cell. These molecules are categorized into different species such as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reduced Species (RS) or in total they are called redox signaling molecules. Actually, the body uses more than just oxygen species, such as reactive nitrogen species and reactive sulfur species, but oxygen species are the primary instigators of the signaling cascade or process.

These redox signaling molecules are so important because as stressors hit the body—whether it be heavy metals, harmful organisms, chemicals, pollution, or simply time and aging—those stressors decrease optimal cell function. When proper cell function declines and the ability to create and maintain redox signaling molecules is hampered then the body is not able to remove harmful substances, heal, or maintain energy. The overall functioning of the body decreases and dwindles as the individual cells decrease and dwindle in their ability to function.

There are many ways you can improve your redox potential or redox signaling in the body, however there are only a couple supplements that we know of that contain redox signaling molecules. The first supplement is Asea which contains the oxygen based mitochondrial redox signaling molecules (what human cells use). The second is Restore which contains carbon based bacterial redox signaling molecules (what bacteria use).

ASEA: communication help for your cells

ASEA can directly affect the redox potential of all the cells of the body by providing extra redox molecules into a weakened cell environment. These extra molecules then help the cell to function properly and heal or destroy as it is designed to do. From the Asea website: “Because the molecules in ASEA Redox Supplement are native to the body, they enhance vital cellular function to achieve optimal health and wellness. Drinking ASEA Redox Supplement every day enhances the ability of every cell in your body to function at a higher level, positively affecting the health of every system of the body.” Dr. Gary Samuelson, Ph.D. Atomic Medical Physicist, states, “Laboratory results with living cells have demonstrated over a 500% increase in efficacy of two native master antioxidants, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) even when very small concentrations of ASEA were added.” and also, “ASEA demonstrated zero toxicity. Any mechanism of action that causes cells to produce more antioxidants almost always involves a response to some sort of low-level toxicity-induced oxidative stress. ASEA is able to elicit the production of antioxidants in cells without eliciting any toxic response or oxidative stress. The technology behind ASEA is the only mixture (able to do this), to date, that has been shown to elicit antioxidant production without eliciting a toxic response. In this sense, ASEA is very unique.”
