Antioxidants are natural compounds that help to protect the body from harmful free radicals. Free radicals damage cells, impair immune function, and contribute to the development of degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Free radicals have been linked to the speeding up of the aging process. Antioxidants can therefore play a role in the prevention of disease. Free radicals have been linked to the speeding up of the aging process. Biogen’s complete antioxidant provides a combination of the best natural antioxidants resulting in a superior antioxidant formula.

Free radicals are formed by exposure to radiation (including sunlight), exposure to toxic chemicals (cigarette smoke and polluted air) and certain metabolic processes (fat metabolism). The free radical theory of aging has been the subject of a great deal of research in recent years and is gaining increasing acceptance. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that are extremely unstable and highly reactive. If they are present in excessive amounts, they begin attacking the body at a cellular level. Free radicals attack the cells’ protective membranes and genetic material, causing cellular damage and malfunction. The body’s own immune system then attacks these damaged cells as if they were foreign invaders. Because they are so reactive, free radicals only exist for one millionth of a second and even so can cause considerable damage to cells.
