Antioxidants
What are they?
Substances in food used by the body as protection against free radicals which are molecules produced during normal metabolism which can wreak havoc if they proliferate in an uncontrolled way as a result of illness, ageing, overexposure to toxins or the sun.
What does it do?
The body produces its own antioxidants, which neutralise the effects of free radicals, but vitamins, minerals and compounds known as phytochemicals in plant foods provide a valuable extra supply, so additional dietary sources are essential for the maintenance of good health.
Common Uses
Toneutralise free radicals.
