Every day, our bodies are bombarded by countless toxic molecules known as free radicals, creating oxidative stress that can cause damage to the cell wall, vessels wall, proteins, fats, and even the DNA nucleus of the cell. Each cell in your body contains cellular structures called mitochondria that utilize oxygen to convert nutrients into cellular energy. By-products of this process are free radicals—molecules that can attack your cell walls, DNA, enzymes, and mitochondria. In addition to free radicals produced in our own bodies, we are exposed to tens of thousands of environmental free radicals on a daily basis. This results in 100,000 free radical hits or wounds on our cellular DNA daily. Left unchecked, these free radicals can cause chain reactions and explosions that create massive damage and shift the aging process into high gear.

To protect your body from oxidative stress, you must supplement your diet with pharmaceutical-grade nutritional supplements containing high levels of antioxidants that bind to and neutralize free radicals at the molecular level, rendering them relatively harmless. If free radicals are not neutralized, the resulting damage can lead to chronic degenerative diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, and so on.
