Antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food, or by environmental exposures like tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radicals can damage cells, and may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

Many scientists believe that free radicals cause the damage that is characteristic of both the aging process and many degenerative diseases. Because many of the antioxidants required to neutralize free radicals must be acquired through our diet, it is vital to supplement with generous amounts of antioxidants to ensure optimal health.
