Exogenous Antioxidant Systems
Exogenous antioxidant systems refer to antioxidant molecules added to living organisms from outside sources. These molecules can come in a variety of forms, including dietary supplements or dietary elements such as vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Exogenous antioxidants are essential for maintaining the health of a biological system, as they help to reduce and prevent oxidative damage to cells caused by free radicals. They also protect against oxidative stress, which can lead to DNA damage, inflammation, and other health problems. Additionally, exogenous antioxidant systems can help boost the body’s immune system and fight off disease. As such, consuming an adequate amount of antioxidants from dietary sources can be a powerful tool for maintaining overall health and wellness.
