Free radicals constantly bombard us in our toxic environment from things like polluted air, poor eating choices, and other toxins. Free radicals cause progressive damage resulting in the functional decline that defines aging. In addition, free radicals also occur naturally as part of our cell metabolism that creates waste within the cell. The presence of antioxidants helps neutralize free radicals and remove them from the cells. When systems are in balance, the production and management of free radicals proceed as nature intended. The only way to counteract the effects of free radicals on cells is by eating foods rich in antioxidants or supplementing our diets with antioxidant products such as Fulvic/Humic Acid.
