30,000 IU of Betatene, the very best food-based carotene complex available. Studies show antioxidants may delay the effects of aging. This formula works synergistically to maintain high antioxidant activity in the cells. We live in a toxic world full of chemical pollutants, auto emissions, and additives and preservatives in our food supply not present just 50 years ago. Free radicals may be the most significant factor in the aging process that affects all of us.
Free radicals are renegade molecules that carry an unpaired electron.
Because electrons usually come in pairs, having one unpaired makes it very unstable. Free radicals seek to either give up an electron to another molecule or steal one, causing healthy molecules to become unstable. This process can disrupt the work of healthy human cells leading to disease and aging in a healthy body. As long as antioxidants are present in large enough quantities, free radicals and the cellular damage they cause are kept in check. Modern research has added vast knowledge to our understanding of what antioxidants are and how they may be used to protect and improve our health.
