What are Antioxidants?Antioxidants are chemicals that prevent oxidation, a chemical reaction. Antioxidants are typically vitamins and minerals which are found in an abundance of fresh foods. This includes citrus fruits, strawberries, blackberries, tomatoes, peppers, almonds, peanuts, spinach, broccoli, lentils and pinto beans. The level of antioxidants in a food item varies depending on the season when picked, and the food types itself.Antioxidants target free radicals, molecules that can react with other molecules (such as DNA) and damage them. Free radicals are damaging because their structure is unstable, meaning that they are highly reactive. Free radicals can be formed internally during metabolism, as well as externally through sunlight or smoking. Although free radicals can be damaging, they also play an important role in physiology as our immune cells require free radicals to kill any bad bacteria that try to infect us.Our Antioxidant Boost tabletsOur Antioxidant tablets contain four of the most potent Antioxidants; Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Selenium.Beta-carotene- is the antioxidative form of Vitamin A which contributes to the normal functioning of the immune systemVitamin C- is one of the most common Antioxidants available, regenerating another Antioxidant, Vitamin E.
