Oxidative stress occurs when our cells generate dangerous byproducts known as free radicals. Free radicals, highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons, roam the body in search of other electrons and in the process, seek out and destroy healthy cells. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.
Scientific research has identified oxidative stress as a link with health and well-being. Thousands of articles, peer-reviewed and published in respected medical journals around the world, such as The International Biochemistry & Cell Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, 2007, document the effect of "free radicals and antioxidants in normal physiological functions & human disease."
