    Antioxidants

    Antioxidants are a group of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and enzymes which help to protect the body from the formation of free radicals.
    These dangerous free radicals are in fact oxygen fragments which can damage our body cells, weaken our immune defences and possible increase our risk of developing degenerative diseases.
    There are a number of free radicals which occur in the body, such as superoxide, nitric oxide and hydroxy radicals. These are formed by exposure to radiation or toxic checmials, such as those found in cigarette smoke.
    There are a number of nutrients which act as antioxidants these include:
    Beta-carotene (Vitamin A), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium and Zinc.
