Antioxidants are natural compounds that are found throughout nature that neutralize free radicals.
Free radicals are byproducts of cellular activity that can damage other cells or cause undue stress to the body. Antioxidants seek out free radicals and neutralize them before they can exert their harmful effects on the body. They give electrons to the free radicals to neutralize them and make them harmless. Our body fluids have a certain natural ability to do this, along with the popular antioxidants. However, with the high level of free radicals in our bodies today, we need a way to greatly increase that ability.
