Antioxidant Capsules

Antioxidant Capsules The natural protection for your body cells Even though the name suggests it, free radicals are not demonstrators that have run wild, but dangerous atoms and molecules that love to attack our 60-100 trillion body cells. 5-10% of the oxygen we breathe in is transformed into such free radicals. In the course of a 70-year life, this produces the gigantic quantity of 1 ton! Not to mention the quantities that are produced e.g. by UV radiation, air pollution, cigarette smoke, drugs, chemicals or plant protection agents. How does the human body manage to stay healthy for so long? The answer is: antioxidants! Antioxidants are nutrients that are capable of putting free radicals out of action. In the past, we only thought about beta-carotene, selenium and the vitamins C and E, but today we know that effective protection takes more. Antioxidants are very closely interlinked. They can interact to produce saving effects or even recycling, where one nutrient regenerates the other again. If individual antioxidants are missing, a hole is created in this net and the protection is no longer complete.
