Ultra Cell Biotect™ for Healthy Cells by Joel Fuhrman, MD

healthy cellsThis formula complements a healthy diet for healthy cells.  Support for your immune system by preventing DNA damage and protecting cellular health. Antioxidant Support for Healthy Aging and a Healthy Inflammatory Response

Benefits

Ultra Cell Biotect™ contains unique phytochemicals from extracts of organic green tea, pepper, organic turmeric, black turmeric, and organic grape seed to complement your healthful diet and protect cellular health.

Normal cellular metabolism produces byproducts that can age or damage our cells, such as free radicals. Dietary antioxidant phytochemicals complement our natural antioxidant defenses by neutralizing free radicals and affecting cell signaling pathways that promote cardiovascular health, the inflammatory response, proper cell growth, and cellular stability.

Unique Superfood Blend: Combines powerful superfoods and phytochemicals to neutralize free radicals, supporting cardiovascular health and cellular stability.

Organic Green Tea: Featuring Greenselect® Phytosome®, a high-absorption, caffeine-free extract that protects healthy cells from oxidative damage and promotes DNA repair and balanced inflammation.

Pepper Power: Capsicum annuum powder enhances the protective effects of green tea on human cells, delivering synergistic benefits.

Turmeric Boost: Contains Curcumin C3 Complex®, a well-researched turmeric extract known for its antioxidant properties, cardiovascular protection, joint support, and promotion of a healthy inflammatory response.

Black Turmeric: Includes Sirtmax® to activate the SIRT1 pathway, guard against oxidative damage, support healthy aging, maintain healthy blood glucose levels, and potentially limit visceral fat accumulation.

European Grape Seed Extract: Provides an antioxidant boost and supports cardiovascular health.

Pure and Ethical: Vegan; does not contain gluten, dairy, or GMOs

Quality Assured: Manufactured in a GMP-certified and FDA-regulated facility. The ultimate boost for your immune system to complement your healthy diet.

Key Ingredients

Green Tea

Green tea leaves, from the Camellia sinensis plant, are rich in catechins, particularly epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), which are rare flavonoid antioxidants. Regular consumption of brewed green tea is associated with cardiovascular health and longevity. In vitro studies suggest green tea catechins protect healthy cells against oxidative damage and promote normal DNA repair and inflammatory status. Greenselect®

Phytosome® is a caffeine-free green tea extract that uses lecithin to enhance absorption, significantly increasing EGCG concentration in plasma. Studies show it helps maintain healthy fasting glucose, triglycerides, and blood pressure. Note: Dr. Fuhrman recommends no more than 300 mg/day of EGCG from green tea supplements. Two capsules of Ultra Cell Biotect contain 39 mg EGCG.

Capsicum annuum

Capsicum annuum, a species encompassing various peppers, contains vanilloids that have shown synergistic effects with green tea in vitro, enhancing its protective effects on cells. These phytochemicals contribute to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of Ultra Cell Biotect™, supporting
overall cellular health.

Curcumin & Organic Turmeric Root

Curcumin, the primary bioactive component of turmeric root (Curcuma longa), includes curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and demethoxycurcumin. Curcumin has been shown in vitro to inhibit NF-?B, a regulator of the inflammatory response. Because its benefits are limited by poor bioavailability, we’ve added piperine (Bioperine®) to enhance absorption. Whole turmeric is also included for additional phytochemicals. Research suggests curcumin with piperine provides antioxidant effects, supports cardiovascular and joint health, and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.

Black Turmeric

Sirtmax®, an extract of Kaempferia parviflora (black turmeric), activates the SIRT1 pathway and protects against oxidative damage in vitro. It supports healthy aging and helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels. A seven-week placebo-controlled human study suggested that Sirtmax® also helps limit visceral fat accumulation.

Organic Grape Seed Extract

Grape seeds, rich in polyphenols, especially proanthocyanidins, have high antioxidant capacity. Enovita® grape seed extract has been shown in a four-month human trial to have antioxidant effects and promote cardiovascular health. Grape polyphenols are concentrated in the seeds, skins, stems, and leaves, providing comprehensive protection against oxidative stress.
