Dr Lippman’s formula fights against free radicals

ACF228™ works as a free radical scavenger which helps to rid the body of these dangerous agents and their toxic bi products. It is an advanced formula blend that helps to reduce the risk of cancer as well as lessen the impact of aging.

What are “Free Radicals?

The scientific explanation of what free radicals are is quite complex, but to put it simply, they are unstable atoms in the body that are bonded to other atoms or molecules. These atoms are created during the processes of breathing; as we breathe, we take in and consume oxygen, which is then burned in our cell’s mitochondria (the “energy factory” of each cell).

Unfortunately, the burning process is not 100% efficient, and around 4-6% of the oxygen taken in is not burned. This remaining oxygen is converted into “free radical” atoms, otherwise known as “superoxides”. Obviously this is not a process we can stop, as we breathe to live, but it is important to be aware of the impact that free radicals and their b-products can have as they build up over time.

As we age, this build up can have a range of consequences, including heart problems, cataracts, increased signs of aging and can even increase the risk of cancer. As such, looking to reduce the amount of free radicals in the body becomes more critical as we age.

In order to reduce the risk of damage from free radicals, ACF228™ works to unleash an effective free radical “scavenger” blend that works to quench free radicals and their bi products, as well as increasing immune system defences.

Your body’s first line of defence to superoxide is the enzyme superoxide Dismutase, which converts it into hydrogen peroxide. As back up, naturally-occurring catalase then changes the hydrogen peroxide into ordinary water and oxygen.

What’s contained in ACF228™?

ACF228™, which has been approved by the drug licensing authorities in Italy and Sweden. is a vital support for the body’s natural defences. This unique and patented formula was designed Dr Lippman, who is leading world authority in antioxidants, free radicals and peroxides.

ACF228™ antioxidant capsules are a blend of ‘free radical scavengers’, which work together to support your body’s natural defences and reduce the build-up of superoxides.

• N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) – this tackles the most common radical superoxide ‘anion’ (a negative Ion) through a process known as ‘quenching’ – this is where the free radical bi products being formed are not more free radicals.
• Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) – this helps to stop fatty acids (essential building blocks of all cells) from becoming radicalized by free radical atoms.
• Butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) – this acts as a secondary line of defence in the ACF228™ blend, as it deals with the most damaging of all radicals, Hydroxyl. Hydroxyl only has a nano-second half-life, so it cannot be “quenched” by ordinary antioxidant vitamins or cellular enzymes.
• Selenium – another second-tier radical scavenger in the ACF228™ formula, Selenium helps to recharge your cells’ antioxidant capabilities by binding to the toxic metal Mercury. Mercury can cause toxic effects on different areas of the body.
• Catalase – this is critical to deactivating and converting hydrogen peroxide. If you do not have enough Catalase in your body, this deficiency actually increases the amount of the radical Hydroxyl.
• L-Carnosine – this is a premier antiglycating dipeptide which helps to counter the hardening of the eye lens and loss of skin and artery elasticity
• Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid – these are mandatory methylation vitamins for any serious antiaging programme
• Iodine and Potassium Iodide – these help to lower cancer risks and improve thyroid function.

ACF228™ as a medical product

The ACF228™ formula has been registered by the medical authorities in Italy and Sweden as a medical product, not a supplement. This followed a number of clinical studies and double blind tests, the results of which can be downloaded from the US Patent Office website (patent number 4,695,590),

By taking ACF228™ as a “one pill/one meal” protocol, the body benefits from reduced oxidative damage, increased mitochondrial efficiency and lessened aging at cellular level.

It is recommended that those taking ACF228™ for a minimum of a one month regimen, along with replacement of deficient hormones, nutrients and moderate exercise. The results of this regimen have shown blood test score values comparable to teenagers and those in their 20s.

From this, we can see that not only do those taking ACF228™ feel healthier and happier, they also see their chronological age begin to diverge from their biological age. Dr Lippman has followed this regimen since 1979 and maintains that he is biologically at least 15 to 20 years younger than his actual age.

The unique blend of free radical and peroxide quenchers in ACF228™ work together to strengthen the body’s natural defences, providing a multi-pronged weapon that reduces the risk of cancer and slows down the aging process!

Q&As with Dr. Lippman

Question: “In your book, “Stay 40” and also in Aging Matters Magazine issue no. 4, (2015) you show before and after photos of individuals over a 12-18 month period who ‘got fit’ by aerobic exercise, but showed the dramatic aging of their faces and hair at the same time. Would you please indicate at what level aerobic exercise can become problematic?

Answer: Heavy aerobic exercise, including heavy breathing, burns up approximately 8 times the amount of inhaled oxygen compared to oxygen consumed at rest. Unfortunately, even an athlete’s enzymatic defences can only dismutate (render harmless) 2 times the resting radical production. Consequently, without antioxidant supplementation, free radical damage occurs extensively throughout the body. This damage is visibly apparent in the hair and face of older people (as per the before-and-after photos in my article published in the Aging Matters™ magazine and in my book STAY 40). To summarize: Heavy aerobic exercise generates free radicals that burn up a body and prematurely age it. In other words, we breathe pounds of oxygen daily which converts to grams of free radicals that damage our bodies if we don’t have sufficient protection from our free radical lines of defence.

Question: The ACF228™ supplement contains the Catalase enzyme. I have been made to understand that this is digested instead of being absorbed by cells, rendering it potentially useless if consumed in supplement form. As far as I am aware, if you ingest a product it will go into your blood stream. After researching this on the website, I am unable to find anything that may suggest that the catalase enzyme is digested instead of absorbed. If you could clarify this for me, it would be much appreciated.

Answer: “You are correct. Catalase is not absorbed into the blood stream and neither are other large enzyme molecules such as superoxide dismutase (SOD). Catalase was included into the ACF228™ formula for the sole purpose of eliminating peroxides, especially hydrogen peroxides, from the food that we consume. Thus, catalase is only working in the GI tract and not in the bloodstream.”

Question: I’m searching for Superoxide Dismutase for years  the product that increases SOD production – so far I have not found one that actually works.99% of SOD products marketed do NOT work as SOD is so fragile.
PLEASE let me know if you have the Superoxide Dismutase that actually WORKS! One that does not destroy sublingually or in the Digestive System. Thank you for your consideration, interest, and time.

Answer: “I have been studying SOD since the 70’s, and the only way to increase SOD is by heavy aerobic exercise. Heavy aerobic exercise creates 8 times the amount of free radicals, especially the superoxide anion radical, and this effect causes the body to double or more levels of SOD. This is the only way despite what some marketers’ may think!”

Given that this may not help you achieve your goal successfully, we then asked him what could aid in the reduction of the superoxide radical, which is the purpose of SOD. His answer is:

ACF228™ will quench free radicals and active oxygen species, but SOD is very specific for the superoxide anion radical whilst glutathione is a general, all-around clean-up molecule for miscellaneous radicals and peroxides.”
