Free radicals, their effects on cells, and the antioxidants that neutralize the damage they can do are very poorly understood. However, a simple analogy removes much of the mystery.

Imagine that you are moving your belongings from one home to another. Your fine wooden furniture is your cells. The sides of the truck are free radicals, and the scrapes and gauges those sides leave in your furniture as its shifts during transit is the damage free radicals can do.

In this analogy, furniture pads are the antioxidants. They cushion the blow of the free radical so that serious damage is prevented.

In real life, free radicals are unmatched electrons that spin out of the orbit of their molecules. When they do this, they are out of control, and go zipping about wherever they please. On their journey, they collide with your cells at enormous speeds, thus damaging your cell’s walls and leaving cellular function impaired. Antioxidants are molecules that have extra electrons that attract the free radicals, so that the free radicals join the orbit of another molecule. This converts the free radical into a functional electron that can do no harm.

It is well established that modest levels of many antioxidants are superior to mega-doses of just a few. Antioxidant Cellular Support System™ provides the most complete array of antioxidant factors you’ll find anywhere.
