CUSTOMIZE YOUR ANTIOXIDANTS : A-Z List!










THE ROLE OF ANTIOXIDANTS:

Antioxidants neutralize free radicals from doing damage to your body.
(Free radicals are what cause disease) A lot of folks think, I take Vitamin C, "I'm good to go". Although Vitamin C is very good for us, it's really just the "tip of the iceberg" when it comes to antioxidants! There are 100's of different kinds of antioxidants...many of them work together in synergy,  as "cofactors" or catalysts to enable them to work better.


Each antioxidant has a specific role and 

“specializes” in certain areas.


Here is a very useful A-Z List that helps to customize antioxidants to optimize health.
