Antioxidants

Antioxidants (such as vitamins A, C, E, and beta-carotene; flavonoids, and OPCs) are compounds found in whole foods that neutralize free radicals. Every time we breathe, we are invaded by free radicals - highly reactive molecules produced by cigarette smoke, pollution, toxic chemicals, and the body's normal process of metabolizing air and food. These free radicals can wear down the immune system, making us more susceptible to illness and disease.
