Antioxidant Guidebook: Part 6 - Antioxidants Neutralize Free-Radicals

Antioxidants neutralize the oxidative by-products of energy metabolism called free-radicals, while also assisting the immune system with the removal of accumulated toxins.

Specifically, antioxidant biochemistry is that they are negatively charged particles that have an extra electron which is transferred to positively charged oxidants called free-radicals. The biochemical antioxidant process neutralizes free-radicals so that cellular and tissue damage is not incurred and optimal function may be maintained.
