Whole Food Antioxidants

Whole food antioxidants work to remove free radicals from the body allowing cell and tissue healing and repair.

Whole food antioxidants are the best choice for supplementation to reduce the damage that can result from free radicals in our bodies and in the environment. Oxidation is a naturally occurring process that transfers electrons from one substance to another and during the process of oxidation, free radicals are produced which can start a chain reaction to damage cells. Whole food antioxidants work to remove the free radicals from the body and stop the damage, allowing the body to heal and repair cells and tissues.

Though many sources of antioxidant substances exist, taking whole food antioxidants is the best route to go for optimal health benefits. Whole food supplements including whole food antioxidants are made from concentrated food sources including vegetables, fruits, grains and herbs. The advantage of whole food antioxidants versus other anti free radical supplements is that they contain an entire range of phytochemicals and phytonutrients present in the food product that cannot be entirely synthesized in a traditional supplement.

Whole food antioxidants, being composed of food concentrates incorporates an entire spectrum of antioxidant phytonutrients such as polyphenols, bioflavonoids and alkaloids that are known to protect body systems such as the brain and nervous system, the cardiac system, skin, eyes and many other organ systems along with protecting the DNA of each cell. Use of whole food antioxidants can help to prevent diseases such as cataracts, stroke, dementia, atherosclerosis, heart attack and may protect the body against all types of cancer including breast, ovarian, prostate and colon cancers.
