Antioxidant Defenses

Antioxidants are important substances found in plants, animals, and many environmental sources. They play a key role in protecting our cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, a process associated with aging and cancer. Antioxidants can be used in the form of dietary supplements, creams, and lotions to reduce oxidative damage and promote cell health. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and beta-carotene are thought to reduce inflammation, lower the risk of heart disease, and boost the body’s immune system. Additionally, antioxidants can help protect the body against free radical damage and help improve overall health.
