An antioxidant is a natural biochemical substance that protects living cells against damage from harmful free radicals.
Antioxidants work against the process of oxidation - the robbing of electrons from substances.
If un-blocked, or left uncontrolled, oxidation can lead to cellular aging degeneration, arthritis, heart disease, cancer, and other illnesses. Antioxidants in the body react readily with oxygen breakdown products and free radicals, and neutralize them before they can damage the body. Plant antioxidants include Gingko biloba and garlic. When antioxidants are taken in combination, the effect is stronger than if they are used individually. This substance is not currently used in any of Viable Herbal Solutions' botanical formulations, and is not currently available for purchase from Viable Herbal Solutions .
