Antioxidants

Useful for fighting free radicals and cardiovascular and neurological diseases.

Useful for fighting free radicals and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. By fighting oxidation, the origin of free radicals, they can prevent the effects of reactions that lead to cell damage. They are used as drugs in the treatment of various forms of brain damage (ischaemia, head trauma and stroke), cardiovascular and neurological diseases, tumours. They prevent macular degeneration, decreased immune defences and neurodegeneration, as well as having numerous beneficial effects during physical exertion.

Chemical substances or physical agents that hinder oxidation, i.e. the chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizer. They are divided into hydrophilic (water soluble) or hydrophobic (lipid soluble). The main antioxidants are Vitamin C, glutathione, lipoic acid, uric acid (hydrophilic), carotenes, Vitamin E and ubiquinol (hydrophobic).
