Keeping intestinal bacteria in balance plays an important role in our general health and wellbeing. The ‘good’ bacteria aid digestion and stimulate the immune response. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis are important beneficial bacteria, which help to stabilise and maintain healthy gut flora . These bacteria maintain intestinal health by inhibiting the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria through competition for attachment sites and nutrients, as well as producing acids that slow down the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

The B group of vitamins plays an essential role in the metabolic processes of all living cells by serving as coenzymes in the processing of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy. This group of vitamins are water soluble. Most water-soluble vitamins are not stored in large amounts by the body. This makes their regular consumption
necessary. B vitamins are also necessary for normal function and maintenance of the nervous system. Stress increases the requirements for the vitamin B group. B group deficiencies can occur from over-indulgence in alcohol and from inadequate supply in the
diet.

Betacarotene is a precursor of vitamin A. The amount of betacarotene absorbed and converted to vitamin A depends on the individual's vitamin A status, betacarotene body stores, and the amount of betacarotene ingested. The amount of betacarotene converted to vitamin A decreases when body stores are
full. Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin function and repair, vision (especially night vision), for the maintenance of healthy mucous membranes including the stomach and lungs. It is also an antioxidant that reduces the risk of cellular damage caused by free radicals.

The key constituents of bilberry are the anthocyanosides. These constituents give bilberry antioxidant properties. In addition the anthocyanosides have been shown to increase the strength and reduce the permeability of the capillaries and in this way bilberry helps to reduce damage to the microcirculation of the eye.
The anthocyanosides in bilberry help to maintain visual acuity (sharpness) and improve night vision through their action on rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a light sensitive pigment found in the rods of the retina. Rhodopsin is essential for eyesight in dim light and needs to be quickly regenerated in order for the eye to maintain visual sensitivity.

Antioxidants act as ‘free-radical scavengers’. Free radicals are common in the body, arising through a variety of mechanisms. Some are generated in the body as part of normal energy-producing processes, some are generated by pollutants such as air pollution, and some are generated by lifestyle factors such as excess dietary fats, cigarette smoke, and alcohol ingestion. Many of these free radicals are dealt with by the body’s own free radical, antioxidant defences. Some free radicals, however, escape these defences, and tend to accumulate. Research suggests that this accumulation of free radicals can result in cellular damage.

Multiple, complementary antioxidants can be more effective than large amounts of a single antioxidant. The nutrients contained in Bio ACE® Excell work together to enhance free radical scavenging
properties. Vitamins C and E are well documented for their powerful antioxidant activity and are the subject of clinical trials worldwide. They are combined here with betacarotene (another powerful antioxidant which may be indicated where there is a dietary deficiency of vitamin A), and zinc (which has an antioxidant role in the skin, where it is involved in the functions of wound healing and normal oil gland
function).

The human body does not manufacture its own vitamin C and so it must be sourced from our diet. Stress of all kinds, including ill health and emotional stress, increases the excretion of vitamin C from the body and therefore raises the need for this vitamin. If dietary intake is low, or the individual’s need is particularly high, vitamin supplementation may be of
benefit. Vitamin C is involved in hundreds of biological processes. It is important in immunity as it is involved in the function of white blood cells and antibodies. It is beneficial when dealing with the symptoms of the common cold.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and approximately 99% of the body’s calcium exists in the bones. The major function of calcium is building and maintaining bones and
teeth. Calcium is also involved in various metabolic roles such as nerve transmission, contraction of muscles and the regulation of heart muscle
function. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption and utilization of calcium. Deficiency of vitamin D results in lack of bone strength and density, and joint pain.

Vitamin C is involved in the manufacture of collagen, an important protein in the body. Collagen is a structural protein found in cartilage and tendons, and it helps to support blood vessels. Due to its role in collagen manufacture vitamin C is necessary for wound repair. Citrus bioflavonoids have been shown to improve capillary function by reducing fragility of capillary walls and improving capillary permeability.
