Free Radicals Definition

Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage any tissue in the body they come in contact with.

This causes a cascade of tissue damage and inflammation. Inflammation itself generates even more free radicals.

Anti-oxidants such as glutathione, vitamin C, D, E and K, as well as many others, stabilize the free radicals and therefore stop the tissue damage, the cascade of damage and the resulting inflammation.
