WHAT IS AN ANTIOXIDANT?

Posted by Bobby Brown on January 13, 2021 - 2:25pm

 

Antioxidants help fight oxidation, a normal chemical process that takes place in the body every day.

FREE RADICALS

These are atoms or groups of atoms that contain an odd number of electrons. Free radicals are not only generated by the body, they are present in foods you eat as well as in the air you breathe. Some even come through exposure to sunlight that can harm the eyes and the skin.

To balance the oxidative state, plants and animals maintain complex systems of overlapping antioxidants, such as glutathione and enzymes (e.g., catalase and superoxide dismutase) produced internally or the dietary antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E.

INCREASE ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN THE BODY BY:

1) Increasing intake of the three major antioxidant vitamins: beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E. You’ll find them in colorful fruits and vegetables, especially those with purple, blue, red, orange, and yellow hues.

2) Supplement your diet with a Redox Supplement to increase cellular production, bioavailability and utilization of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase by over 500%
