Vitamins & Minerals

Antioxidants are nutrients that are vital in promoting healthy cells. They counteract the harmful effects of excess free radicals – the highly reactive molecules produced by the body. Free radicals, if left uncontrolled can be destructive. Free radical production in the body is increased with exposure to external factors such as environmental pollutants, alcohol, cigarette smoke, stress. They are known as an important contributing factor to degenerative diseases and premature aging. Antioxidants are therefore beneficial to wide range of conditions, including heart diseases, joint problems, immune boosting.

A combination of antioxidants can provide greater benefit than any single nutrient. They can provide wider protection, covering both water and fatty portion in the body. These nutrients are often intricately involved in their metabolism, for example, vitamin E improves the use of vitamin A.
