The invention defines interdependent biofactors and biomolecules, and clinically useful formulations that are comprised of them. The active agents are demonstrated to be complementary in their physiologic functions especially as these relate to the quenching of free radicals and to the support of endothelial physiology, the reduction of hyperinsulinemia and improvements in vascular health.
