Antioxidant supplements play a protective role for our general health including the health of our hair. Antioxidants supplements are supposed to slow down the oxidation reactions which are brought about by the free radicals. The Free radicals are highly reactive unstable atoms generated in our body that can damage cells leading to a number of diseases and ageing.According to the Free-radical theory of aging
these highly reactive oxygen species (ROS)
damage the DNA
proteins and other cellular structures like the cell membranes and cell organelles.
The reaction of free radicals within cells
and subsequent damage has been linked to a range of disorders and chronic diseases including cancer
arthritis
atherosclerosis
alzheimer's and diabetes and inflammatory conditions
Antioxidants are able to slow down or block these dangerous reactions in the body. They do it either by reacting with intermediates and halting the oxidation reaction directly. They react with the free radicals and prevent the oxidation reaction from occurring.
