Let us break it down into easier terms.
Okay, first things first: are you familiar with the concept of free radicals?
Through a process known as oxidative stress, free radicals (which are uncharged, highly reactive chemicals) can cause significant damage to your DNA and tissues.

It's linked to a wide range of illnesses.
But how can we put a stop to it?
Free radicals are continually being produced, thus it's impossible to stop their formation entirely.
Thankfully, with the aid of our reliable antioxidants, we can completely slow them down.
