Harnessing the Power of Antioxidants

In the realm of health and wellness, antioxidants have garnered significant recognition for the remarkable benefits.

The naturally occurring oxidative process in the human body harms cell membranes, as well as essential components like proteins, lipids, and DNA. Various factors, such as stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, exposure to UV rays, pollution, and more, can expedite the process of oxidation within the body. During the process, unstable molecules known as “free radicals” are generated. These free radicals tend to snatch electrons from other molecules, resulting in damage to DNA and various cellular structures.[i]

When an accumulation of free radicals occurs within the body, it can lead to a condition known as “oxidative stress.” This state of imbalance can harm cells and have a detrimental impact on overall health.

Combatting Oxidative Stress with Antioxidants

Antioxidants, as natural substances produced by the body, may have the capability to counteract the adverse effects of these free radicals by neutralising them.[ii] Antioxidants are also found in plant-based foods, serving as rich sources of these beneficial compounds. Fruits and vegetables, along with nuts, whole grains, and certain meats, poultry, and fish, contain significant amounts of antioxidants.[iii]

The capacity of antioxidants to combat oxidative stress, neutralise free radicals, and safeguard our cells from harm plays a crucial role in promoting overall wellbeing. By integrating antioxidant-rich foods into our diet and adopting a lifestyle that encourages their consumption, we can unlock their tremendous potential and lay the foundation for a healthier future.

Ubiquinol is recognised as the most potent fat-soluble antioxidant within the body. It possesses remarkable abilities as an antioxidant and scavenger of free radicals.[iv],[v],[vi] It is important to speak to a healthcare professional to understand how the naturally occurring antioxidant, ubiquinol, may reduce and support the less favourable side effects caused by oxidative stress.

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare professional.
