Superstar Antioxidants for Skin Care, Prevent Aging and Danger Diseases

Since 1956, has known that oxidative stress causes free radicals production that became main contributor of aging and disease.

By have a role as electron donor, antioxidants like vitamin A, C and E neutralize the danger free radicals. This is important because this free radicals is not only good for our skin care (fight against aging), the excessive free radicals production also become the cause of almost all diseases, include Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, diabetes and hypertension. Next, some super antioxidants that give good synergy if added to main effective antioxidants: vitamin A, C and E.

  The glutathione function that disturbed has an important role in hypertension disease.
  Glutathione also so important toward healthy brain, because the brain consumes about 20% of O2 but only 2% part from the body weight, so the brain becomes oxidative stress target. The change of glutathione metabolism also found in a number of nerve diseases, include Alzheimer, Parkinson and multiple sclerosis.
