Antioxidants are natural compounds that help protect the body from harmful free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or group of atoms that can cause damage to cells, impairing the immune system and leading to infections and various degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants therefore play a beneficial role in the prevention of disease. Even though many antioxidants can be obtained from food sources such as sprouted grains and fresh fruit and vegetables, it is difficult to get enough of them from these sources to hold back the free radicals constantly being generated in our polluted environment. We can minimize free radical damage by taking supplements of important antioxidants. A high intake of antioxidants is especially protective against cancer.
Antioxidants works synergistically in giving protection against free radical damage, so it is better to take smaller doses of several different antioxidants than a large amount of only one. Eye Combo is an excellent source of the antioxidants Bilberry, Ginkgo Biloba, Grape Seed Extract, Tomato and Lutein.
