According
to many leading dermatologists and scientists, free-radical
damage is one of the leading contributors to the primary
causes of aging and age-related diseases. Free radicals
can virtually damage every part of our cell structure, causing
it to breakdown and disrupt our collagen molecules. When
the collagen molecules become damaged, the skin becomes
discolored and wrinkled and loses some of its elasticity.
As a result, the visible signs of aging appear.
Antioxidants help to prevent free-radical damage. According
to research, key vitamins such as A, C and Vitamin E, alleviate
free radicals before they damage our cells.
