During the course of shopping online or at the store for a few new grooming products, you may have heard these words… Free-Radicals. So what are they?
Free-Radicals – also known simply as radicals, are organic molecules responsible for aging, tissue damage, and possibly some diseases.
Free-Radicals are created by environmental pollution, cigarette smoking, and poisons like cleaners and herbicides. Preliminarily, low concentrations of free radicals have been associated with a reduced risk for heart disease and stroke, but more studies are needed to understand their relationship.*
So without a full-on chemistry lesson… what do we do?
Studies have shown that antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C & E will slow the process of aging by preventing free-radicals from oxidizing sensitive biological molecules.
Perhaps the best free-radical avenger of all vitamins (internally and topically) is Vitamin C. Here are a few suggestions!
