Anti-oxidants help the body fight toxicity and repair damage caused by reactive molecules better known as free radicals. These molecules have unpaired electrons that can raise havoc with necessary cell structures such as proteins and DNA. Antioxidants offer your body’s cells donor electrons which disarm them of their capacity to damage you. They are protective against aging and numerous diseases that are partly caused by oxidative stress, even cancer. Antioxidants often have several other biological effects and are considered to contribute to one’s overall health.
