Antioxidants and Free Radicals

Other antioxidants derived from your daily diet (example: vitamins A,C, and E) stop the free radical chain reactions once they have gegun. Molecules produced by your body, such as Coenzyme Q10, also have powerful antixidiant properties.
Recently, plant-based substances known as flavonoids have received considerable interest for thier antioxidant effects. But none is more powerful then the proanthocyanidins in grape seed extract which I will discuss in my next post.
Until then check out B-Safe which I have been using since 1997 to keep my arthritis at bay. 2 a day keeps me out of the doctors office :)
