Antioxidant Supplements
Antioxidants are one kind of molecules, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals which can accelerate cellular oxidation. They provide an important and solid defense against the diseases caused by oxidative stress, such as cancer, heart disease, decline in brain function, immune system and aging. Because antioxidants are capable of stabilizing or deactivating the free radicals from oxidation reactions before they attack cells.
