What are antioxidants, and are they present in most anti-aging supplements?

Anti-Aging Supplements

Anti-aging supplements help us remain more youthful in body and mind by containing antioxidants. Antioxidants are important organic substances that our body makes naturally, but their production slows down as we age. They work by destroying harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals can destroy cells and genetic materials in the body, and this can lead to many different diseases. Antioxidants fight against these destructive forces.

Studies indicate that antioxidants may be effective in preventing strokes, cancer, heart disease and many other disorders associated with aging. In addition, the body does produce antioxidants, but production decreases as we age, so anti-aging supplements are a good idea for anyone over the age of 50.
