FREE RADICALS & YOUR HEALTH

Free radicals are believed to play a role in more than sixty different health conditions, including the aging process, cancer, cardiovascular disease, immune-system decline, brain dysfunction, & cataracts. Free radicals are caused by oxidation in your body. Oxidation can be the result of deficiencies of vitamins B12, B6, B3, C, E, folate ( also known as folic acid), iron or zinc. These deficiencies can mimic the damage caused by radiation, the major cause of oxidative stress in the body. Other forms of oxidative stress can come from intense exposure to sun, smoking, coffee drinking, exposure to environmental toxins, & over consumption of red meat.
