The word ‘Antioxidants’ is fast becoming a focus point in this day and age, but what does it actually mean? And why do we now emphasize the importance of it? Antioxidants work to protect the body from free radicals, but what are free radicals. Let’s break this down. Free radicals are small, highly reactive molecules which can be formed in:
- cigarette smoke
- processed
- fried or microwaved foods
- environmental chemical pollution
- radiation
- and essentially normal metabolism.
Free radicals are unstable atoms that damage the growth, development and survival of cells in the body. Since free radicals are missing an electron, they seek to steal one from other atoms or molecules in order to complete their pair. Antioxidants reduce this harmful activity by donating an electron to free radicals. However, when there’s an imbalance of too many free radicals and not enough antioxidants to neutralise them, it leads to oxidative stress in the body.
Isotonix OPC-3 contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol® in the world as well as the most bioavailable and potent forms of OPCs.
Bilberry, grape seed and pine bark contain bioflavonoids known as anthocyanosides and proanthocyanidins. These antioxidant compounds are known to be 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in quenching free radicals.
Isotonix OPC-3 delivers a powerful antioxidant punch in an effective isotonic solution that is easily absorbed by the body. In addition to reducing free radicals, the benefits of Isotonix OPC-3 extend into every function in the body.
It is also important to look after the body’s largest organ – the skin! Did you know antioxidants protect skin by limiting the production of free radicals which can damage skin cells?
