Antioxidants are compounds of various chemical structures that protect cell membranes from harmful effects that can cause excessive oxidation in the body.
In other words, antioxidants have the ability to bind free radicals (active unstable particles that can initiate peroxidation processes) and are the protectors of our cells. Free radicals are constantly formed in the body as a result of redox reactions in the process of life, under the influence of various adverse environmental factors: air pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke, increased ultraviolet radiation, stressful situations, infections, etc. In the body, free radicals weaken the immune system, damage the vascular endothelium, accelerate the aging of articular cartilage and affect the processes of premature aging, which leads to a destructive chain reaction that contributes to the development of diseases and pathological changes.
There are a lot of antioxidants in nature. Endogenous are produced in the body itself (female s*x hormones, coenzyme Q10, catalase enzymes, glutathione peroxidase, etc.). Exogenous antioxidants come with food, the simplest and most famous of them is vitamin C. However, to cope with the effects of destructive substances, one, two or even three antioxidants are not enough, since they act in a complex manner. It was from this position that the antioxidant complex “Sources of Purity. Formula 3 ", which contains all the antioxidants necessary for normal life. These natural substances protect cells from the outside, from the inside and separately - at the level of the cell membrane, which is very vulnerable to oxidation, providing a "triple mechanism" of protection:
- external protection of cells is provided by such antioxidants as vitamin C, plant bioflavonoids (rutin, dihydroquercetin), as well as grape seed, blueberry, cranberry, thyme and green tea extracts. They create a powerful barrier around every cell, binding and neutralizing free radicals.
- the internal protection of cells is provided by such antioxidant trace elements as zinc, selenium, copper and manganese, as well as riboflavin. They pe*****te into cells and stimulate the work of protective intracellular enzymes
