Antioxidant Shield
Protect cells from oxidative stress and aging
Antioxidant defense uses vitamin E to protect cell membranes, selenium as a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase, vitamin C to regenerate vitamin E, vitamin A/beta-carotene for lipid-phase protection, and manganese for mitochondrial superoxide dismutase.
Why This Matters
Oxidative stress accelerates aging, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration. A diverse antioxidant intake from food provides synergistic protection that supplements cannot replicate.
