Overview
Antioxidants are essential to your body's defense
against free radicals. Free radicals can attack the
cells of your body, affecting the cardiovascular, neurological,
and immune systems. Monitor free radical activity with
Anti Oxidant Check, as you strive to strengthen your
antioxidant levels.
Anti Oxidant Check measures levels of lipid peroxides
to determine free radical activity in your body. Measuring
levels of lipid peroxides provides a good indication
of your antioxidant levels, your body's main defense
against free radicals.
Why should I check for free radicals?
Free radicals are unstable molecules that, in large
numbers, can attack the cells of your body. Having
optimal antioxidant levels helps to protect your body
from free radical damage.
What are lipid peroxides?
Lipid peroxides are fats that have been damaged by
excess free radical activity. Measuring their levels
indicates whether your body is getting enough antioxidants
to protect itself from free radical damage.
How do lipid peroxides determine my antioxidant levels?
Antioxidants are compounds that work to prevent free
radical damage by inhibiting oxidation of cells. Research
has shown that antioxidants are your body's strongest
defense against free radical damage. Fruits and vegetables
are an excellent source of antioxidants. Supplements
such as Vitamins C and E, selenium, ginkgo biloba,
and beta?carotene are good antioxidant sources as well.
