HOW DOES NETWORK ANTIOXIDANTS WORK

How Antioxidants Work with Free Radicals
Antioxidants are necessary to quench free radicals so that they cannot harm other cells. WHen an antioxidant encounters a free radical, it engulfs it and combines to become a molecular structure. Which is a relatively weak free radical that is not likely to do further harm.

The Network Antioxidant
Within the body, there is a dynamic interplay between 5 key antioxidants: Vitamin C and E, Co Q10, Lipoic Acid and Glutathione.

There are the network antioxidants.

These special antioxidants work together to boost and strengthen the entire system. When combined, they greatly enhance the activity of one another, helping the body to maintain the antioxidant balance.

In the Packer Lab, it was discovered that network antioxidants have special powers not shared with others. What make them special is that they can "recycle" or regenerate, one another after they have quenched a free radical thereby vastly extending their antioxidants power.

For example, a weak Vitamin E free radical can be regenerated back to a Vitamin E antioxidant by Vitamin C or Co-Q10, by the donation of electrons to Vitamin E.

Weak Vitamin C or Glutathione free radicals can be regenerated back to Lipoic Acid or Vitamin C.
