How it works
Antioxidants act as ??ree-radical scavengers?? Free radicals are common
in the body, arising through a variety of mechanisms. Many of these free
radicals are dealt with by the body?? own free radical, antioxidant defences
. Some free radicals however escape these defences, and cause cellular
damage. Research suggests that accumulation of free radical cellular damage
can result in degenerative conditions.
The antioxidants zinc and vitamins C and E play a significant role in
defending against free radical damage in the macular region of the retina
and lens of the eye.
