Antioxidant benefit

To obtain an antioxidant action it is necessary to neutralize free radicals and only in this way is it possible to protect the organism from their negative action. During the numerous metabolic processes, a small amount of oxygen gives rise to chemically very reactive molecules due to the presence in the outermost orbital of one or more unpaired electrons. These molecules, called free radicals, are able to damage cellular structures such as the plasma membrane and DNA.

The negative action of free radicals affects the health of the body by accelerating the processes of cellular aging, impoverishing the immune system that is at the origin of the onset of numerous diseases and forms of cancer. It is possible to control the activity of free radicals through special endogenous antioxidant substances (enzymes synthesized by our organism) and exogenous substances (substances present in foods such as vitamin E)
