What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are powerful compounds that help protect your body from damage caused by free radicals — unstable molecules linked to aging and disease. When free radicals build up, they can create oxidative stress, which may contribute to conditions like heart disease, cancer, and memory-related disorders.

Health benefits of antioxidants:

• Anti-cancer (e.g., inhibits tumor growth)

• Anti-inflammatory

• Cardioprotective (e.g., atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases)

• Protective against age-related conditions (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease,

macular degeneration, cataracts)
