Anti-ageing
Scientists believe that free radicals are implicated in the major causes of ageing. Every day we are bombarded by free radicals from chemicals, pollution and ultraviolet light. It is thought that this excess of free radicals can cause cell damage within our bodies and contribute to the signs and diseases associated with the ageing process. However, antioxidants may help to ‘mop up’ these excess free radicals and reduce the damage caused to our cells.
