What are Antioxidants?

Antioxidants protect your body from damage caused by free radicals that come from environmental factors like pollution, sunlight, smoking and stress. Antioxidants work by deactivating free radicals; supplying the extra electron they need to become stable molecules. Our antioxidants may reduce the number of free radicals in the body, protect the immune system and promote overall health. Antioxidant provides protection for many of the body's important systems by combating free radicals and oxidant molecules which damage cells, DNA, and good fats and cholesterol.

Why Take Antioxidant Complex?

People who eat fruits and vegetables, which are good sources of antioxidants, as well as people who take supplements, have a lower risk of heart disease and some neurological diseases. There is some evidence that antioxidants might help prevent diseases such as macular degeneration, suppressed immunity due to poor nutrition, and neurodegeneration. Some levels of antioxidant vitamins and minerals in the diet are required for good health.

Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene): An important antioxidant that helps to prevent harmful free radical damage in the body. Beta-carotene belongs to a group of plant compounds called carotenoids. These are the pigments that provide the yellow, orange, and red colouration in fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is the most abundant carotenoid in human foods and is thought to be the most important carotenoid for humans. Enzymes in the intestines convert beta-carotene to vitamin A whenever it is needed. Carotenoids including beta-carotene have received a tremendous amount of attention as potential anti-ageing compounds. Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant, protecting the cells of the body from damage caused by free radicals. It is also one of the carotenoids believed to enhance the function of the immune system.

Vitamin C: Perhaps one of Vitamin C's best attributes is its amazing anti-oxidant ability. It protects the fluids of the body such as blood from damage by free radicals. By strengthening arterial walls, it also plays an important role in maintaining a healthy blood pressure, as well as reducing tissue damage.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E scavenges the body for harmful free radicals and annihilates them. By destroying cellular membranes, free radicals are responsible for a variety of health problems including Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin E defends all cell membranes in the body from oxidative stress, promoting better health and immunity from illness, while increasing virility.
