Antioxidant Guidebook: Part 10 - Antioxidants Support Detoxification

Antioxidants are required for detoxification, which is a normal everyday continuous process of the body, because the normal cellular process of oxidizing carbohydrates and fats for energy releases free-radicals.

Additionally, someone will come into contact with toxins in the food, air, and water which will react with tissues and fluids in the body to create low-grade toxins called free-radicals.

All free-radicals may toxically accumulate to the detriment of healthy bodily functions and the immune system. Antioxidants are used in the process of stopping free-radicals from damaging tissues and reduce the accumulation of of toxicity.
