The mitochondria can though of as an energy generator. Any of a variety of factors which cause alterations of disruptions in the workings of the mitochondria may contribute to symptoms of fatigue, muscle pain and energy deficiency. Some scientists have suggested a relationship between the dysfunction of the mitochondria and these symptoms. It is estimated that between three and six million people in the United States are affected by fibromyalgia, with the majority of cases reported in women between 25 and 45 years of age. Fortunately, free radical formation is controlled by a complex network of beneficial compounds known as antioxidants.
Antioxidants are capable of stabilizing, or deactivating, free radicals before they attack cells.
But providing proper antioxidant protection is a challenge similar to putting a puzzle together. All the necessary pieces must be available and properly combined to create comprehensive, balanced protection. To help you benefit from the antioxidant pieces needed to protect your cells, we suggest that you eat a well-balanced diet rich in fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and whole grains, and reinforce that diet with balanced, comprehensive, high quality antioxidant supplements.
