How The Antioxidant Factor™ Vitamin Functions

Antioxidants are substances that delay or inhibit oxidative damage to a target molecule. They help to prevent damage of important structures such as DNA, enzymes, proteins, and cell membranes by free radicals. Damage from free radicals has been implicated in premature aging and increased risk of disease.

The antioxidant system comprises endogenous components obtained through the diet plus exogenous components such as antioxidant enzymes. Adequate supply of cofactors such as selenium, copper, and manganese are essential for the optimum function of the antioxidants systems.

Clinical studies suggest that antioxidants may reduce the risk of some chronic diseases including macular degeneration, cataracts, Alzheimer's and certain cancers. Antioxidants are a vital part of a healthy and vital biological system.

Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, the Food and Drug Administration does not endorse this claim because this evidence is limited and not conclusive. Other claims regarding antioxidants have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. This Antioxidant Factor™ vitamin supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
