Free radicals are formed during the normal, ongoing process of cell rejuvenation in the body. Most free radicals are molecules with an unpaired electron. The unpaired electron makes many free radicals highly reactive. A free radical wants to get back in balance by either donating or stealing an electron from another molecule. This can sometimes set off a chain reaction. During this chain reaction, sometimes vital cells are changed and/or damaged.
Usually, the body’s own antioxidants can counter free radical production. However, as we age, the free radical production may begin to speed up. The theory behind taking an antioxidant is that it may assist in stopping the chain reaction set off by free radicals.†
