Antioxidants
If you’ve noticed how an apple turns brown when it’s cut or how iron rusts when exposed to the elements, you’ve seen the effects of oxidation. Oxidation causes similar damage to the cells of the body. But unless you have discovered how to live without breathing, you cannot escape the consequences of oxidation. It takes place whenever you breathe, digest food, exercise, or even sleep – and produces potentially harmful agents called free radicals.

Free radicals are unstable molecules that trigger chain reactions that eat away at the cells of the body and damage the genetic material they contain. Countless free-radical chain reactions take place in the body each day. In addition, emotional stress, ultraviolet light, air pollution, and cigarette smoke also generate free radicals that can put your health at risk.

While fruits and vegetables provide a source of natural antioxidants in the diet, in this modern age additional supplementation is desirable to help achieve optimal intake.

Recent research suggests that combinations of antioxidants work better than isolated antioxidants, and that alpha lipoic acid in particular helps to recycle the antioxidants.
