Free radicals are unstable molecules with an unpaired electron. They are natural byproducts of normal cellular metabolism but can also result from external factors like pollution, UV radiation, and toxins.
-
ree radicals can damage DNA, proteins, and lipids in cells through oxidative stress. This damage contributes to aging and chronic diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
-
Oxidative stress occurs when there’s an imbalance between free radicals and the body’s antioxidant defenses. Prolonged oxidative stress damages cells, tissues, and organs, leading to inflammation, premature aging, and various diseases.
-
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating electrons without becoming unstable themselves. This process stabilizes free radicals, preventing them from causing cellular damage. Network antioxidants go further by regenerating each other, ensuring sustained protection.
